Article on the BBC website ....

I base my opinion on that he likes model trains, 'obsession with privacy', and 'his facility with maths' [sic]

I have no opinion on whether he created Bitcoin.

My opinion of Bitcoin is sounds like the crook magnet of 2012-2015.

I have followed the story of Bitcoin since it first hit the news. I never bought into it because my trust level of such things is very low. Having said that, the story about the guy calling the police on the reporter who found him, and then running away when a gaggle of reporters showed up is somewhat Aspie. The idea that a super genius was obsessed with model trains is just delicious ! !

Sounds like a movie script, eccentric creator who cashed out early on, lots of worldwide attention, ending up with bankruptcy and odd deaths. I keep wondering how it all ends?
