RE: Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?
英文句型的邏輯結構: 已知內容在前面，相關評語（新的內容）在後面, 後面是整句的焦點所在.
The name "Satoshi Nakamoto" is very well-known by now, so mentioning "Wei Dai" at the end of your sentence makes him the focus of attention.
#1: My grandmother, who is 95 years old, is a member of Hell's Angels.
#2: My grandmother, who is a member of Hell's Angels, is 95 years old.
#2 seems to imply that being a member of Hell's Angels is no big deal. #1 is a much better sentence than #2 because it puts the most surprising fact at the very end (Being 95 years old is not very unusual for a grandmother).

I see. Maybe personally I think Wei Dai is well-known enough considering Satoshi Nakamoto cited him in the fist place of the white paper.
It is even more strange he is not as well-known as Nick Szabo. Interestingly, Nick Szabo thinks Wei Dai might be Satoshi and Wei Dai thinks Nick Szabo might be Satoshi.
