Who was on the 2008 list of academics passionate about cryptocurrencies and who wrote like Nick Szabo? Nick Szabo.
In summary, it seems to me highly likely that Satoshi is Nick (and collaborators). At the very least, there is strong textual analysis evidence that Nick has written significant parts of the Bitcoin whitepaper. I would suppose that either Nick, wanting to get his long-time dream of a decentralized currency further, had contacted one or more technical collaborators that helped him address the shortcomings of bit gold and ship the first client under the collective name Satoshi Nakamoto, or that a brilliant engineer happened to hit upon a better solution for bit gold, contacted Nick, and they decided to bring it to life together.
