Does this mean you know Sergey Nazarov, and if so what do you think about the theory that he's Satoshi?

I was just joshin' with the insider joke. We had insiders from years ago, but no one leaks anything on /biz/ anymore since it's heavily monitored by the team. But staking is aimed for release this year and simple release date alone will drive up the price due to pure hype and speculation, so it's a very safe bet to make. That being said, besides the circumstantial evidence that points to SN==SN, it would explain how he managed to get one of the scientists who coined Proof of Work to cowrite the original Chainlink whitepaper and be the chief scientist of Chainlink Labs. Also, it was always a bit suspicious that Sergey was gungho about building smart contracts from before Ethereum was even released.
