Derek Sivers is definitely a real person. You can trace his history, well, back when he was in America, using public records.

But, I think as even he has admitted, his online presence is a well-crafted persona.

And, aren't we all doing that?

My new online persona will be Derek Sirvers

Cool, mine too!

I used to go by Satoshi Nakamoto and be in the group Anonymous. I put out a few of those videos, but people kept challenging whether I was the "real" Anonymous.

Interesting thing, I was in Barcelona last week, and just out of the blue I meet Bill Murray and he buys me ice cream. He said "no one will ever believe you!" Before he left, I told him my name was Satoshi Nakamoto.

I'm just carrying on the work of my grandfather, Nicolas Bourbaki. Just like David Belle was doing what his father, Raymond Belle, began in Viet Nam.

Nice to meet you Derek, I am Serek Dirvers

Dirk Servers here, just saying hi.
