I dunno if this has been discussed before, but Satoshi's BitcoinTalk profile shows a local time. As it is around 5 hours 30 minutes behind me (Indian Standard Time) it could be somewhere in the UK or Spain or some part of Europe. Has anyone ever thought about this?

people have gone through the many time zone indicators provided with different communications of Satoshi; many are obscured, many use anonymizers (like the email client), there's indicators on when he was active.

The message encoded in the Genesis Block is a headline from a UK paper, too. Not that it points to anything specific but it's an interesting thing to think about, I guess.

Yeah, it is also likely that he did not obscure his location on Bitcointalk which was so early on in the Bitcoin journey
