So this is the reasoning behind Ted Nelson's claim that Mochizuki is Nakamoto:<p>1. Both are Japanese. Or say they are.<p>2. Well, that's got to count for <i>something</i>, right?<p>3. Also, they're both smart. <i>What more do you want?</i><p>LOL. Also, his impression of Sherlock Holmes and Watson is the shit. You know, for a comedic piece, it's a great achievement to have it published on Business Insider as serious. Mr. Nelson's a talented troll. Great laughs were had.
