Satoshi Nakamoto
There’s a chap called Sahil Gupta, who once interned at SpaceX, who is convinced Elon Musk is Satoshi Nakamoto. The coincidences are interesting.

Make your own minds up.
Here's something for the financial markets chat
It is new called the blind spot
Izabella Kaminska is the founder and editor of The Blind Spot, a new media venture that aims to shine a light on stories being missed by the wider journalistic pack. The site focuses on finance, market and media news in both short and long-form. It hopes to deliver a healthy mix of analysis-and opinion-led commentary, supported by aggregation, news reporting and deep-dives.
Izabella is an alumni of the Financial Times, where she spent 13 years in reporting roles, most recently as the editor of FT Alphaville, the Financial Times’ award-winning markets and finance blog. Izabella was also an FT columnist and opinion writer focused on tech, finance and markets.
Izabella started her journalistic career in 2001 as a junior reporter for the english-language newspaper the Warsaw Business Journal. She later spent time in the former Soviet Republic at the Caspian Business News, which took her to Azerbaijan and Georgia. In 2003 she reported as a freelancer from Kabul, Afghanistan, before joining BP as an Associate Editor of the company’s internal magazine Horizon in 2004.
After completing the 2005 Reuters graduate trainee programme, Izabella joined Platts to focus on the reporting of European natural gas markets. She then went on to become a senior producer at CNBC in London, producing the channel’s flag-ship programme Squawk Box.
With the The Blind Spot Izabella is initiating a two-part plan to try and help reconfigure how journalistic information is organised on the internet.

They have discussion groups on Telegram.
The Blind Spot’s “Open Spot” is about generating actionable intelligence that can be used in financial markets. It is not about following the party line. It is about seeing through both white and black propaganda to try and understand the signal.
I want people to differentiate analysis from loyalty. A dispassionate view is essential to help people not lose their shirts.
Open Spot policy is to discriminate against anyone who is simply cheerleading escalation for escalation and adrenalin’s sake. The Blind Spot is not about fanning propaganda of either side. It’s a neutral zone for gathering quality intelligence.
Our coverage doesn’t represent The Blind Spot’s or anyone else’s political leanings. We have to differentiate between explaining what is going on in the info war – for that is what it is – to anything to do with loyalty.
Broad dehumanisation of any side will not be tolerated. We are all losers in war.
Open Spot is not the chat for anyone with a belligerent or disruptive attitude. You will be ejected if we sense you trolling people or winding people up. (This is not to be confused with censorship btw! Alternative perspectives are welcome but they must be presented in constructive and civil ways. We are diplomats now.)
It shouldn’t be sacrilegious to analyse information in a cool headed way and consider what “our side” is getting wrong or not seeing.
Do’s:
Do invite those you think will be worthwhile contributors.
Do avoid spam.
Do let me know if you can help me with setting up a Discord chat (contact me on izabella@the-blindspot.com)
Do feel free to summarise the events of the last 24 hours, just flag that you’re doing so to ensure work is not doubled up.
Do think about the stories beyond the obvious ones or what is being buried in the news dumps of the day.
Do be mindful of libel.
Do flag to what degree a piece of news is verified or circumstantial.(Potentially with some sort of classification system.)
Don’ts:
Don’t lose sight of everyone’s humanity.
Don’t act like a douche.
Don’t assume everyone in the chat thinks like you do.
Shanghai Covid lockdown ‘will have a global effect on almost every trade’.
Just what the world does not need now: a major lockdown in Shanghai. Sources on the ground (who are incidentally about to be sent to the Covid gulag) inform TBS that food availability is genuinely getting tight. Many residents are now depending on government distributed food bundles, except these are getting stolen or used to extort people. There are allegedly 140,000 beds in Shanghai — but if temporary hospitals are being set up, one has to wonder about the accuracy of the official figures.
And now there’s group buying in Shanghai.

One for you to keep a regular eye on Tom. In case you find anything worth posting up.
Thanks, Footsoldier. I've added the feed.
Her CV reads like CIA…
She is really well respected when it comes to the commodity markets. It was her who discovered the " Dark Inventory" in the oil market.
People like "Big Orin" and Chris Cook listen to what she says. Mike will know her.
