An image macro captioned "He's beginning to believe": a cartoon apple, matching the account's avatar, stands between a stone slab quoting "Lost coins only make everyone else's coins worth slightly more. Think of it as a donation to everyone. - Satoshi Nakamoto" and an open doorway labelled "libngu". The joke turns on whether to look next at libngu, the Coinkite library that appears in the entropy models this record holds. It makes no factual claim; its value here is as a dated example of how the incident was being talked about within the week, not as evidence of anything.

This post is registered as evidence and has a locally held capture. The original remains the canonical publication.
