Has Satoshi set his sight on Smart Contracts now?

So, Jon Matonis and Gavin Andresen confirms Craigh Wright is Satoshi Nakamoto, and presumably they have Smart Contracts in their sight. How does this affect Ethereum?

Programmable transactions, or smart contracts, will emerge for various suitable use cases. Much of the proposed functionality in Ethereum-like scripting solutions can be accomplished with the existing Bitcoin network through the use of multiple digital signatures and metadata storage techniques.

I believe Craig Steven Wright is the person who invented Bitcoin.

Be assured, just as you have worked, I have not been idle during these many years. Since those early days, after distancing myself from the public persona that was Satoshi, I have poured every measure of myself into research. I have been silent, but I have not been absent. I have been engaged with an exceptional group and look forward to sharing our remarkable work when they are ready.
