Who is @DorianSatoshi?

(Update - the Twitter handle for @DorianSatoshi has been subsequently changed to @Satoshi_N)

It’s the weekend, so now is as a good time as ever for a humor post.

If there is anything positive to Newsweek’s ‘outing Satoshi Nakamoto article, it’s been the creation of @DorianSatoshi. A parody of Dorian Nakamoto on Twitter, the stream is a hilarious timeline of tweets that started with a simple “Well, this sucks” and then took a life of their own with the #freelunch and #bitcoinchase took place.

While those pieces and many more have their moments, live tweeting has taken @DorianSatoshi a step further as the account brought humor to Thursday’s events as they happened, as well as continued to do so throughout the weekend: Some of the funnier tweets:

This all brings us to the question everyone wants to know? Who is @DorianSatoshi?
