The timing, the patents, the silence, it all lines up.
This thread might flip your entire view of crypto history and you might fall into a deep rabbit hole.

2/š§µ) The Patent That Predates Bitcoin
In 1991, David Schwartz filed a patent for a āDistributed Computer Networkā that sounds eerily like a blockchain.
US Patent No. 20090119384
Years before the Bitcoin whitepaper.
Same structure. Same logic.
The same obsession with decentralization.
3/š§µ) The Language Overlaps
People have run stylometric analysis on Satoshiās forum posts.
Guess whose writing style it closely resembles?
David Schwartz.
Even the use of terms like:
ā¢ācensorship-resistantā
ā¢ātrustless systemā
ā¢āconsensusā
Itās almost like he never changed tone⦠just platforms.
4/š§µ) The Quiet Background
Schwartz worked on classified NSA contracts as a cryptographer.
So did other suspected Satoshi candidates like Hal Finney.
But Schwartz kept a much lower profile right until Ripple appeared, with XRP launching shortly after Bitcoin.
Too convenient? Or too perfect?
5/š§µ) The XRP Angle
Satoshi wanted Bitcoin to be āpeer-to-peer digital cash.ā
But over time, it became a store of value, not a payment system.
Enter XRP:
ā¢Built for payments
ā¢Real-time settlement
ā¢Low energy use
What if XRP was Plan B?
A more efficient evolution built by the same mind?
7/š§µ) Schwartz Never Confidently Denied It
In multiple interviews, when asked about the Satoshi theory, David Schwartz never gave a direct āno.ā
Instead, he leans on:
ā¢āI was around back thenā¦ā
ā¢āI had thoughts about proof-of-work early onā¦ā
ā¢And always that cryptic grin when the question comes up.
Almost like someone who knows⦠but canāt say.
8/š§µ) The Theory?
Satoshi Nakamoto was never just one person.
It was a team or a rotating identityof cryptographers, engineers, and forward-thinking rebels.
Bitcoin was the revolution.
XRP was the blueprint for integration.
And David Schwartz?
He wasnāt Satoshi.
He was part of the mission.
