I'd bet 0.05 BTC he is over 40.

That one I'm the least sure of. I think he's definitely under 50 though.

I think he could actually be under 30, honestly. Though no younger than 24.

edit:

On second thought I'm not that sure about him living in the US either, in part due to some of his use of British spellings.

I'll change that to "lives in the US, Canada, Britain, Australia, or New Zealand".

Singapore or Hong Kong?

I'd bet 0.05 BTC he watches anime.

Any particular reason why? There's no real evidence that he's a Japanophile, other than being a non-Japanese person taking a Japanese name.

edit: I'm not sure if I was downvoted because I failed to notice the person I was replying to was joking, or for some other reason.

Are you sure he's not Japanese? I've never seen any evidence of his location. He is fluent in written English, but that doesn't really narrow it down.

He uses a bunch of colloquialisms which kinda hints at him living in an English speaking country. Obv one could also pick those up online, but I'm guessing that the first scenario is more likely.

No, I am not sure, but if you look at all the evidence discussed by other people who have researched his posts, there are a lot of signs that suggest he is a native speaker. If you sit down and read all of his bitcointalk posts, it's pretty easy to come to the same conclusion.

There's also always the chance his parents are Japanese but he was born in an English-speaking country, but I think considering the fact he clearly wanted to hide his identity, he probably picked a name that was unrelated to his true nationality and ethnicity.
