Yes, I still believe this man was the real **Satoshi**.
1. He was a **coder**—like me, but **10,000x better**—who wrote some of the most important code in the history of cryptography.
2. Few mention that **Hal Finney lived nearly a decade in Temple City**, the same 36,000-person town where Newsweek found **Dorian Nakamoto**. Were they neighbors? Did they meet for coffee to discuss cryptography?
3. Finney’s writing style was **elegant, precise, and fluid**, much like the Bitcoin whitepaper released in late 2008.
In August 2009, Finney was diagnosed with **ALS**. If he was Satoshi—or helped create Bitcoin—then this represents the **greatest open-source code ever presented to humanity**, crafted before his illness took his genius.
In April 2011, Satoshi wrote: *"I've moved on to other things."* I believe he meant **fighting ALS and cherishing his final moments with his wife and son**.
Thanks for your incredible contribution, my friend.

I can also make a **more concise, social-media-ready version** highlighting the Satoshi-Finney connection if you want.
