Even if it didn&amp;#x27;t have any effect on the market (it would) everyone can fantasize and speculate about the motives for Bitcoin&amp;#x27;s creation, about the next moves, etc. So such founder is a superposition of anyone&amp;#x27;s idea. If that superposition collapses into one drug cartel boss, that would change many people&amp;#x27;s view about Bitcoin and it&amp;#x27;s purpose, legality and of course market price</text></comment>

At this point I don&amp;#x27;t care what the truth is, it would just be nice for it to be out in the open so the nonsense articles we get every single year stop.</text></comment>
