you know what? one factoid that just came to mind is that he listed an @gmx mail address on the original Bitcoin paper. I genuinely don’t know a single person using GMX without some sort of connection to DACh (Germany, Austria and Switzerland).

I always have this in my mind. For some reason, people want to believe he's American.

Yet even before crypto was a thing, Germany always had a thriving community of people concerned with privacy, hell, even the average german prefer to pay in cash to not be tracked. We have CCC and so on.

About the gmx email: I've seen people from abroad using those gmx emails, mainly in the security space. I find it funny because gmx is kinda crappy, full of ads.
