To start this off, I'd like to make this clear that these are rumors I have heard without completely verifying 100%.
Having said that, ideas like these have been circulating for a long time and I think they disappear from the awareness of most crypto users only to re-appear individually later.
I would like to organize all of the semi-credible rumors in one place, and that is what this post is about.
Satoshi Nakamoto -> Nicolas von Sauberhagen. It is common in Asian countries to put the last name first.
So the Bitcoin white paper was actually published under the name of: Nakamoto Satoshi...
Therefore the initials are:
N S
And so exactly the same for both. But why the 'von'? It means 'of', like in royalty: The duke Nicolas of Sauberhagen.
We also know Saint Nicolas, handing out presents in December. But that might be too far fetched. Although SN and/or NvS did give humanity some huge presents. To liberate themselves from debt slavery?
One other weird thing. Nakamoto used a German / Swiss based email service known as GMX. In Switzerland are many International institutions based, like the Bank for International Settlements. Again, there this does not have to mean there is a connection to it.
The name Nicolas von Sauberhagen seems very German to me though. And the German word 'Sauber' translated to English means: 'Clean'.
'Hagen' has a meaning in German too. It means so much as 'District'.
In this case it could refer to a district in Germany?
Anyway, many lose ends, but there actually might be a real connection between Nakamoto Satoshi and Nicolas (von) Sauberhagen. It could very well be one and the same source in origin.
I always thought Riccardo Spagni (Fluffy Pony) was the dude behind Monero... but I guess perhaps he was just a self appointed custodian?

With its roots somewhere in Germany?
