He might be dead right now, nobody has heard from him 'officially' in a long time. None of his known addresses have had any activity. He could have died years ago.

I get what you're saying though & maybe bitcoin will only be appreciated when we're all dead & gone, before we get chance to enjoy the wealth it could bring us. I hope not though, it'd suck if 1 bitcoin was worth 1 million USD in 60 years & we don't get to enjoy that :)

satoshi doesn't need to let us hear something from him. bitcoin is already way further and much more mature than when he left. his coins are 'deleted' as in him no longer having the private keys or he will use his coins when he really need them.

Yep he did, spotted on the left.

Oh shit. That's a pretty great catch. :D

The saddest thing is, we dont have any idea who satoshi nakamoto is. We couldnt give an appreciation for his working and efforts to develop bitcoin directly as long as his true identity isnt be revealed. But, if he really chose his way to hide, he still be a hero, which he has been 'robin hood' for our life  :)

It really is sad. I actually wanted him to actually post on this forum, but as his account is locked, there is nothing we can do.

Yeah, he safe my life..   :)
If bitcoin never existed, maybe now I'm just an unemployed  :'(

Whoever he is, wherever he is now, i think a lot of bitcoiner would like to thank..
and yeah, as your say, he is a hero.. That was never seen by us :)

and what if satoshi nakamoto is a girl?

I highly doubt he is a girl. I thought I saw a picture of him and he is definitely not a girl.

No one can be sure if Satoshi is a man, woman, individual, or group, since there is no any definitive data about him. Perhaps he was already dead, or maybe he is looking this forum and joining with us to make posting here  :)

Why is it sad? We can still appreciate "Satoshi". If people knew who he was they would likely just attack him. Satoshi knows who he is and can be proud of his achievement and how people are using it around the world and ihe wanted the plaudits he would reveal himself but either doesn't want that or cant (if he's dead).

i doubt a girl can even come up with something so revolutinary like bitcoin

http://www.buzzfeed.com/hannahjewell/inventions-by-women-that-changed-the-world#.rpVbPk0Pl, i find that none of this come near what bitcoin is

Wow that is a strong statement to make. We do not live in a world where only men are allowed to think. I say this, but I know in some Muslim countries, women have no rights. I would just love it, if it was a women or a group of women, who came up with this idea.

Satoshi being a women in a man's world, would most certainly have failed. Why? Because of this kind of opinions.
There are many women behind successful men and they would have had a terrible time, trying to raise the kids and feed the family and still come up with wonderful ideas at the end of the day.

There are millions of successful mother's out there, who has done both. My wife is one of them.  ;)

Wtf is this kind of statement? Total bullshit.

Did you even read the inventions you list? There are some game changers in there.. Without some we would still sit around the stove in the kitchen..

Also, would bitcoin be possible without computer coding?

And that is even besides the point that women would be unable to invent something like bitcoin.. Seriously, grow up..

i'm sure that without those women someone else would have made those discoveries, so no i don't find it bullshit at all, i still think that satoshi isn't a girl in any way and it can't be, women generally use too much they right hemisphere used for emotions

some exception here and there will not change this fundamental diversity between the two gender, and has nothing to do with growing up, this is my opinion, i consider women inferior when it comes to technology

Yeah, but it would be great if people do know the identity of Satoshi which his picture will be printed in history books, and be labeled as a revolutionary man in this century. van Gogh has passed away hundred years ago, but we still know his face because his identity was recorded in history books. I hope Satoshi will be like that  :)

To quote Maria Klawe:

“We’ve done lots of research on why young women don’t choose tech careers and number one is they think it’s not interesting. Number two, they think they wouldn’t be good at it. Number three, they think they will be working with a number of people that they just wouldn’t feel comfortable or happy working alongside.”

In other words, one of the major reasons that there are fewer females than men working in technology is that they don't want to associate with the likes of you.

The sad thing is that he had to choose to rest in hiding because if he didn't, he would probably be a target of all the governments and banks and etc.. That's a sad thing, that we live in that age, that you can't even take a credit for the most revolutionary thing that you have invented.

I doubt he wouldn't stayed known to at least be recognized and acknowledged for his invention. However, he has decided and decided well in my opinion to rest in hiding.

It would be better for you to explain what you mean!
I honestly don't see the relation between them...

I'll not go into a big discussion about women and their capabilities but if I were you I'd seriously rethink how you view the world..

The fact that the chance is lower that Satoshi is a woman because a lesser interest in technology I can agree on. But saying that women are incapable of doing this???

Yeah, I think he also kept this secret from his family and friends, thats why there is no chance for them to reveal his identity. And I am still amazed how he managing to keep his identity, so there is no one can reveal it until now.

Does anyone know why exactly his account is locked?
I would assume the mods would just give him his account back if he ever contacted them..

And I don't know if Satoshi will be the next Van Gogh, I hope that we will eventually know his true identity, though I highly doubt it.

that quote do not imply that the number 3° reason is the major reason, this is your assumption, i smell that the first reason is the major one, they are not interested, and i have my reason to think why they are not interested, the answer is the second reason you quoted....

Satoshi Nakamoto remains Satoshi Nakamoto, and will be Satoshi Nakamoto i think :)

Well he's a very smart man, that is how he keeps his incognito status. I mean he has invented Bitcoin, you must be helluva smart. He has planned his every step and planned it to the perfection. This was the only way that he stays low under.
