How if sathosi claim bitcoin as scam? How many your invest money to bitcoin? Are some dev altcoin will stay with their coin? Will sathosi go to jail after claimed it?

first thing sathosi got to do is explain how it is a scam.  ::)

I do not think satoshi claimed that, He created bitcoin why he could claim like that when we've got some advantages by using bitcoin. In fact, he have not been showed himself. But if it is possible I think many people will lose

All he did was he created a currency and handed it out to people. How is it going to be a scam ? There is nothing hidden about it.

satoshi gives freedom to his creation so he doesn't have any rights to claim it as a scam it is us who owned bitcoin now, are you going to let anyone called your coin as a scam? me I will not as I love learning more about this currency and how it will change the way currency should be, no one can control it now as it is continue developing and many more people around the globe are learning and embracing it. bitcoin can never be scam if we believe that is is not.

Satoshi is one of the greatest creators of this decade who gave us the freedom to become financially independent. He will have to explain us how bitcoin is scam.

Also about the jail thing, firstly u will have to find him. Which is not a very easy task to do.

I still believe bitcoin is not scam in any way.

Even if Satoshi come out and publicly announced that it was a scam, people still did not knowingly participate in the scam. They used a tool that was provided to them to shift value and to trade with other people. Satoshi might go to jail, if he admitted that he participated in something illegal. He had to gain some economic advantage from this, for them to convict him of a crime.

No country in the world will arrest people for using a technology that were used for every day trade, if they had no regulations or laws against it. ^smile^

You seem to be altcoin holder and fuding about bitcoin here.
No even satoshi came out he will not say bitcoin as scam or nobody gonna believe him because bitcoin is totally decentralized platform and nobody or no any government can shut down the whole bitcoin network. The only problem we may get is when satoshi move his millions of bitcoin from his accout to trading. But i don't think this gonna happen anymore.

I just look some good answer, so if it will be, i can anticipation it.

If Bitcoin as a scam, then the US dollar as a far greater scam. As long as there is internet access, bitcoin can do what gold does 10 times better.

Bitcoin is not a scam just because you missed the opportunity to buy them while they were cheap..

If bitcoin was a scam, there would never be this many big investments and companies built on top of its technology.

Sure, with hindsight it sucks that few holders have a lot of coins they bought cheap, but how is this different then early investers in new companies that become billion dollar companies? You take the risk, you get the reward if it works out.

In my opinion, Bitcoin and cryptocurrency a whole, were created as an alternative to any future replacement of conventional money. Satoshi gave us a completely innovative tool to pay for goods, services, and so on.Now he is trusted by many technologically advanced countries. Many economists and technologists. I do not think that they can cheat so.

You have to define what you meant by scam and which part of it is scam. There are so many people telling us bitcoin is a Ponzi/scam but so far no one has proven it.

beeing opensource a good programmer wouldve spotted something by now..
so I really doubt that it can be a scam

You can tell that way you can think of where that satoshi say that bitcoin is a scam? In my opinion it is not true.

None have a clear identity about Satoshi, so as quoted how its possible for a person to say it as a scam. Each one were indicating different people as Satoshi. Whom we could believe.

lol so funny. ;D

OP is going on ignore for being a sig spamming little turd who shouldn't be posting in the English language section of this forum.   Iy is indeed a stupid fucking topic and one that keeps getting brought back time and time again.

I'm confused to all hell as to what the original post of this topic is supposed to be asking, but I assume that he's asking what if Bitcoin is a scam after Satoshi says it is, or something?

I can't figure out what is trying to be said. I can't figure out what kind of language he's had to translate this from, because it's something beyond the realm of what I normally see here.

Chances are Bitcoin isn't a scam, I've only invested time into Bitcoin, some altcoin devs will likely try to take their own market share of the crypto economy, and we'd have to know who Satoshi is before anything like that could happen.

I think if the people get jealous with bitcoins good,then they will blame as scam,still there is no any scam about Bitcoins,incident goes to all banking system from Hackers but Satosi they are doing there best to goodwill.

Yes true but this title is not true that bitcoin is a scam.
Due to the fact bitcoin does pay if we know how. Maybe this should be straightened.

I dont think bitcoin will declared as scam nor satoshi will do because first satoshi made a breaktrough project werebit truly helps unemployed people to earn money online and as of today bitcoin gain more and more trust and accepted in some big online companies and looking more thats why it would not happen because the more years it go the more money will cone to them and also to us, thats why it never cross in my mind that bitcoin will turn scam, bitcoin is very strong coin existing in market.

Lol even we still do not know who the actual satoshi Nakamoto?
of course he is already enjoying great results and benefits. he would not be stupid and say bitcoin will scam

You know what I thought. People who say that Bitcoin is a scam, do not differ from those who had previously said that nuclear energy or genetic engineering is bad. I think there is a certain degree in the psychological factor. People are accustomed to use the old-tested things, while new and poorly understood frighten them. Uncertainty and lack of information.

This is a nonesense thread never heard it in any news that satoshi said bitcoin is scam.. its obvious that we already use bitcoin and we can buy anything with bitcoin. do you think this is scam.. we are using bitcoin as payment in service or to buy something,. and bitcoin will never be scam.. brazil has  150 store are accepting bitcoin as payment..so bitcoin is not scam..

If bitcoin scam some country will not make it legal, Japan, Australia and some country in Africa start to make bitcoin legal. Satoshi create bitcoin to make money better.

may will you read the thread one more. I didn't say satoshi say it, but i say "if satoshi say it".

who sathosi ? ::)
no people know who is sathosi . so don't be negative thinking . keep always posiive thinking

I'm sorry with my threat before. I'm forgotten it to write if in the subject

Yeah mate but he just ask with ' if ' as basic. So when that statement really happen what your answer about it.
In my point of view the user of bitcoin will lose money because that is scamed.

your answer may the best in my ask. Why are they verry hate me? I just want to know what if it will be. May my fals with this thread, i'm just bad englisher. So whatever they say, i'm so sorry

Bitcoin is no scam, because it has all the rules the same for everyone that  is using it. Unlike some of the altcoins where dev make things
pretty unfair in the means of the distribution of their coin. Thinking bad about bitcoin just because satoshi has many coins in his possesion is
not really valid point, all devs should be so supportive of their projects.

I don't get it.
Bitcoin exists for 7 years now.More and more people use it.The network is growing, Bitcoin already saw some regulation and legal frameworks in a few countries.
Just alone that should let you know that Bitcoin is far away from being a scam.
A majority of the shitcoins are scams!! But Bitcoin with all it's known, partially famous entrpreneurs and VCs is definiately the opposite.
This is becoming a damn serious business my friend!!

Yeah mate I don't think satoshi will do that, BITCOIN  created by complicated technologi that ingenious. I think satoshi didn't create it to scam.

I dont think so.Satoshi will not claim it if bitcoin would be a scam.As a person on a good mindset are you going to claim things that can cause disaster in your life.Yes ofcourse if that thing will happen satoshi might go to jail because in any point of view there is money involve and thats under law specially cybercrime law.

OP is making a hypothetical scenario, not claiming that Bitcoin is a scam or that Satoshi declared it as a scam. He just wanted to stimulate discussion on this scenario, IF Satoshi come out tomorrow and declare that he created this to function as a scam, what people will do.

It is still a good topic to discuss, no matter what the OP's intention was to create it. ^hmmmmmm^ If it was announced that Bitcoin was a scam, I would be proud to have been part of it, because it would be the biggest scam in human history, even bigger than the fiat banking scam and reserve currencies. ^smile^

At least, we are not printing money like toilet paper. ^ho ho ho^

Satoshi didnt claim it if this coin is scam. Unless he ran with the money. Some of dev in altcoin stay because if this main coin is scam there are chances that the coins that they do it will rise like bitcoin. I think satoshi didnt go to jail because we dont know that his true i dentity. Unless if he tracked by NBI he will go to jail.

I don't think bitcoin can be scam, or satoshi as scam.
Bitcoin is same like flat currency , never be scam . But bitcoin is digital currency.
And keep in mind bitcoin year by year still growing .  ;D ;D

Yes that's true , the only thing that make sometimes bitcoins become scam as they are scammed by HYIPS or people to people scam on bitcoins ,bitcoin itself is safe .bitcoin is good as fiat currency.

Bitcoin is not a scam itself, and I believe there is no chance that bitcoin is made to be a scam. What is more possible is that people will make scams using bitcoin, but that is human nature. We are capable to make something from nothing, beautiful thing from a broken thing.. but we humans proved that we are capable to ruin and destroy good things, to use things in bad way and in evil purpose.

So all this threads where we see how terrorist or criminals use btc is funny to me, they are using what ever they need. They don't even ask, they take it. So its not in bitcoin or dollar, its not in gun or a rock, its not in a wood or animal... IT IS IN US! We give shape to things around us, don't blame btc or anything else.

Yes we dont think that bitcoin will declaired it and i think the only reaso  why they think that this bitcoin is scam it is because of the hyips and facebook group that promising they double your money. And i think why my family think that it is scam because they didnt believe that earning online is possible

I think it will not happen, and if it happened I ready because I only invest in bitcoin with unused money. For Altcoin dev I don't know, maybe they will survive. Big question , how would imprison satoshi if you don't know who satoshi is :D hehe

That is the big question .bitcoins survives anonymously he is the great man and i think the best hacker who keeps hidding .thanks to him.
Altcoins will survive i think because altcoins don't based on bitcoins ,because these big altcpins that have impact on market is supported and manage by a company who used it.

If bitcoin become scam satoshi wont go to jail because satoshi only created the coin and never asked you to invest in the coin for himself, so its not satoshi fault if you invest your bitcoin and then bitcoin suddenly disappear
And alt coin wont disappear, but maybe will have impact, if bitcoin go scam people wont believe in all cryptocurrency anymore

how is bitcoin becoming a scam exactly? in what sense, if you decide to invest that's only your problem not problem of bitcoin imho, so calling bitcoin a scam is for those that lost everything like the guy on the speculation thread lol

How the hell would it be a scam if we already own it and it's getting accepted almost everywhere :P

Bitcoin is not in the control of Satoshi, he do not have any power on it now, he only created it and now people have power to maintain it in the economic of world and what if Satoshi claim it a scam? no one will be affected by it and people have believe on it as a currency and will continue their believe on it as a currency and will respect its value and will use bitcoin normally as are now using it.
But only those people who do not have knowledge about bitcoin and its technology will start to sell it, which will not be  a large amount so will not have any great affect on bitcoin.

I agree with the others, even if it were a "scam", how does one prove about that Bitcoin is indeed a scam and would it even make a difference? lol It would alert some or most people but I doubt it would cause a collapse in Bitcoin's value since the technology is already there, been thought out and isfunctional.

There wont be this community and a lot of people here if it is a scam. It is like saying I will ride with it even if I know someone will steal from me. That is like an idiot thinking right?

You're too ancient in response to the new revolution, Bitcoin won't scam because this payment instrument has advantages and better profits and keamnan the very awake. Bitcoin is also no company, it could give us the discretion to hold the BTC

Bitcoin is now a worldwide used currency and it is in the control of people so anyone who claim it as scam will not harm bitcoin and people will continue to accept it for their business etc.

Bitcoin is not a scam and that is because you also can see now that there are now more people that is going to have some Bitcoin and that would be really nice for you.
You also see that it is now becoming the digital money and that is really nice but of course it will be really hard to predict for what will happen.

it's only on your think , keep be positive about that. so,it's very difficult to satoshi to claimed bitcoin as a scam, because, maybe sathosi have a many money from there, why sathosi must to claimed bitcoin as a scam if he can reach much profit from there .Why?and for we know bitcoin is a mother to another coin like alt and etc for now. It's very difficult to claim bitcoin as a scam.

I don't think the creator of Bitcoin will ever declare Bitcoin to be a scam. Whoever Satoshi Nakamoto is - be it a group or a single individual - can't control what is happening to the crypto coin now as it's a decentralized network that is being supported by people all over the world running nodes. So if people had thought that Bitcoin could be a scam no one would have participated in keeping the network alive. Bitcoin is a commodity and everyone is buying, selling and mining it voluntarily and unlike Ponzi schemes and HYIP's no one is in control of what is going on with your money. Satoshi might say that Bitcoin is a failed experiment (highly unlikely as it has been working fine till now) but never a scam because no one is getting scammed here right?

Even if Satoshi declares Bitcoin as a scam, the bitcoin world has moved on beyond Satoshi.
The only influence that Satoshi would have is the control over the initial bitcoins mined.

Many people already get huge amount of money from bitcoin and even if it's scam those people already rich and don't care about it. And satoshi still unknown or no?

if bitcoin is a scam, then I would probably leave bitcoin and start looking for the dollar by creating a blog, like the old days. but if it happens, it might make a lot of people disappointed, and I'm sure it will not happen

First,
Who is sathosi?

Second,
Who is satoshi?... nobody know so how could go to jail?

Bitcoin is bigger then satoshi... even if someone claim to be satoshi and say: "bitcoin is a scam!" wouldn't make any difference.

so, you very sure with your opinion?
i don't so, because like you know anything can be. as time goes, may there will come something with amazing technology to change it

if some altcoin dev would instamine as much coins as satoshi and then just suddenly disappear, there would be huge amount of people screaming scam!

and they will gone from this crypto currency of course, i think.

Don't really believe that bitcoin can be a scam, many people already get a lot of money form it, and this scam is a bit long termed.

If bitcoins were a scam other altcoins would be a scam too, then.

just think in the future like what, if we can anticipation, why not to decrease any costs

if bitcoin is scam ? I think certainly when prices rise, as now satoshi will sell a Part of coins that he have and sell all coins in 7 days before halving.

What on earth are you talking about???

that's just not how things works. you can't declare something as scam if you can't prove it.
it is true that we've gone beyond satoshi, though.

Nobody was forced to 'invest' in bitcoin so if the price of bitcoin increases then we are lucky that we got profit because i consider bitcoin also as a kind of investment, but in case it drops to $0 as you call it scam then nobody can accuse anyone and going to jail.

The first thing is that I agree with raphma, that bitcoin is much bigger and stronger than satoshi, and bitcoin is now the property of people and they have full control on it and they know well that what is bitcoin and they know its legitimac, and if someone came to claim that bitcoin is scam then we cannot say that it is satoshi but it will be a full proof that it is a scammer and do not know about any thing of bitcoin.

Satoshi is the inventor of bitcoin and he respect it and he know that it is a better currency for the world and every inventor love his/her invention.

The Bitcoin is not a scam or it is built intentionally as a scam. It has bee proved in the last 7 years of its existence.

Well I think there's a little probability of 1% that Bitcoin will be scam. If it will be scam, Im not happy and im not angry either because 0% of my porfolio is in bitcoin, I only earned it using free methods and I have traded to fiat many times so I have no regrets.

Bitcoin is no more a scam than Amway or Melaleuca.

They're enablers not scams. They make new scams possible and breath new life in to old cons.

lol it cant be a scam anymore. if it was a scam to begin with then satoshi would make tons of money. and if he sold his bitcoins at this point he alredy has. but the fact it hasnt been done yet means it wont happen in the future.

Bitcoin=scam theory myth was debunked so many times in the past that it is tiring to discuss the same nonsensical thread again.

First of all what are the core arguments you can use to force your theory that bitcoin is a scam?  Anyone? Because I can't seem to find any logical ones.

Ah, don't you see, the core argument is that it is a scam because I need to farm my signature some more! If I generate a repeated and bland yet easy thread that I can respond to without having to put in any effort, it's a "scam" obviously!

There are no arguments that hold any substance that Bitcoin is a scam. People just say stupid shit.

Maybe satoshi is too stupid to claim bitcoin as a scam. He needs to think 1000x to claimed bitcoin as a scam and lose their profit from bitcoin. and he must already dream go to jail. ::)

Then most of us that have invest into it are going to suffer which is very disappoint for most that have put more than $1000 into it. I am not that much into it but have exchange that much so far.

if bitcoin scam i just lost my time, because im not invest in bitcoin with my money :)

Actually the bitcoin economy already does not depend on anyone's design. What such alleged satoshi could affirm against bitcoin is actually idle because the current stability of bitcoins depends more on the strength of its community than on any individual person.

What is that scam though ? Actually i don't care about that, because even bitcoin is a scam, bitcoin still has a big price and people will not care and continue their life using bitcoin.

Satoshi will never say that cause we do not knoe who is the true satoshi. He might get impostored and tell us bitcoin is scam. And many here will be panic selling. That could affect the price of bitcoin

but there is no clause for scam coin, isn't it? so who is will imprison satoshi?  ???

hahaha...........
it same with me. but may time is very valueable  :-\

He probably got enough money to live lord life, idk why he would scam

Bitcoin is not a scam and i am sure, but if it's a scam it's so smart, make whole planent mine many coins and not show developers face to get everything at once.

I think bitcoin will never be a scam. you will never be disappointed in bitcoin. at least you've got a lot of advantages of bitcoin. so am I. but I'm sure bitcoin will never scam

why does satoshi would claim bitcoin as scam? any source?

sadly I don't invest too much in bitcoin, I just earn it, you know, lack of financial capital.

if no more profit available, I think altcoin dev will not stay with their alcoins.

I am not sure for the answer of the last question.

Bitcoin will never be scam, If it is scam , There were  posibility that no one will use bitcoin long time ago if they know that bitcoi  is scam. But if we see today bitcoin is super fast.

We should answer the question if the bitcoin is scam, more people getting angry because they invest a lot of money in terms of bitcoin also include my self this is my online banking and my money keeper.

I think this is there is not any source about that , because he said based with only word ' if ' and it is not really happen ( for nowadays ).
I am also not invest my fiat into bitcoin, just collected some bitcoin from signature campaign and help as additional for my primary salary.

It could be a scam, maybe that's why he doesn't want to reveal his identity. But there is no way for him to get the Bitcoins back from the investors of Bitcoin.

i think so. because there is so many reason to be scam. but for now i still belive if bitcoin can a be scam  :D

I think this not to commit fraud, because if Bitcoin SCAM. Bitcoin owner automatically will not have a big advantage, because all the sales site not under the auspices of the maker of the bitcoin Bitcoin. So this is just crap and are the people who are frustrated against the growth of an increasingly high bitcoin

Well, why would satoshi claim that bitcoin is scam under any circumstances? He is the founder of this technology, and somehow he just one day realises that his project has been a total scam?

Bitcoin can't be a scam, because it is decentralized. Also satoshi won't go to jail, because WE DON'T KNOW WHO HE IS!

bitcoin does not own the company and no control bitcoin. so bitcoin will not be a scam. but exchanger or investment sites that could be a scam.

Well if bitcoin is a scam we have nothing to do but accept it. but the things is it will never be a scam it a currency where we can buy almost anything! like everyone here saying it will only be use as scam when used on ponzi site etc... it is not different when using your real money on ponzi.
Bitcoin is Money
Money is Bitcoin

if it is a scam the satoshi will have a lot  of  complaint but I dont know how bitcoin will become a  scam .

but don't worry, bitcoin will not be a scam, it is only a question, but I will suggest to not to create thread like that as they are not beneficial for the newcomers in bitcoin, who do not have enough knowledge about bitcoin.

Yep! Even the term of it could scare the new comers, though that scam thing isn't even possible. I don't understand what OP was thinking at the time of thinking of that title :P

It's possible to get your bitcoins scammed on investments programs, but the bitcoin itself turning into scam? duh! I don't even get it xD

Bitcoin will be more worth and more popular and that is nice because you have to know that Bitcoin will be the most used payment method in the future and that is nice.
You see that Bitcoin is becoming more worth so that is really nice, but of course it is hard to know what will happen later.

Bitcoin isn't SCAM, definitely!
Why?
There is no owner of bitcoin, no bank or company etc.
It's just virtual currency based on revolutionary technology and there is no owner.
So, if nobody is owner or control it, you can't call it scam.
We all invest here with hope that bitcoin will be great success but it's our own decision, nobody forced us to invest here.
 

If bitcoin was a scam, then we would not have seen it's growth in last 7 years. A ponzi may hardly survive for 7 weeks. Now a days a lot of ponzi could not survive even for 7 days. A scam may convince few people, but not possible more people from entire world.

How can it be scam as its market now is very high and most of the business runs in it ! By imagination if anything like scam, all investors will be left bankrupt with nothing and I know many people will commit suicide for sure !!

Do you understand with my question?
I don't claim or say bitcoin as scam. I ask if bitcoin as scam, may you will read my thread one more time, please

If Bitcoin turned out to be a scam the majority of people would just lose their money. That's actually a constant background uneasiness for a lot of people and businesses, what if Satoshi is just waiting for the right time to dump his 1 million coins? It's happened plenty of times with altcoins where the dev just dumps his share at the first chance he gets, crashing the market in the process. Unfortunately at this point there is no real way to defend against this (hypothetical?) threat. You just have to hope that if it does happen you're among the first to know, so you can sell your stash before the price drops to 0  :D

Very true, people have invested huge amount of money into bitcoin, and if bitcoin turns out to be scam then all of us would go crazy and would be begging on streets for food.

Hahaha........
For now i just collect profit from it, if some day it will going to be scam i don't lost anything.  :D

If bitcoin was or will be a scam.Then i can provably say that it would be the biggest scam of century.Since bitcoins now have market value.of $11Billion.Thats huge

no its not a scam,,,,certainly not, because many people in here are enjoying using it as currency.
Bitcoin also changed a lot of things in different people in cryptocurrencies... ;)

That's true but we all know that bitcoin is not a scam, its a genuine way to earn money and make some investment into it and if it would be scam it would not have survived this long.

I think the bitcoin was not created to make the creator rich. Even though he owns 1 million coins, he has not used it.

It is impossible for satoshi to show up and claim bitcoin as a scam. Bitcoin as a scam is out of the issue, bitcoin has existed in the market more than 5 years and many people have already benefitted from the usefulness of bitcoin. Even if nakamoto satoshi will go out in the public and will tell all of us that bitcoin is a scam people will not mind it since bitcoin has spoken for itself since its existence.

if bitcoin as scam what is the bitcoin is a scam we are all screwed because ther are allot of people with bitcoins not just a couple but there are more than 10 milion users.

It's too imposibble . Cause bitcoin choose better than another money. :D

If Satoshi (or whoever with the access to his private keys) will show someday and claim that +1 million of coins and then start to dump them resulting in market crash.
This will be probably the closest thing people could call a 'bitcoin scam'. But that action would be perfectly fine from a legal point of view anyway.

if bitcoin become scam i think many people will losing millions dollar of their money because between all of bitcoin users some of them be holders bitcoin and if it does really happened satoshi will not got in jail because till now people still looking for who is satoshi and does he really exist or not

if the scam is bitcoin? I will not play bitcoin, but if I can ear a lot of money, I still play even if it is a scam,

yah! you're right bro. bitcoin is impossible to be scams. because bitcoin made so much better than money.

Yup, It never be a scam. Satoshi has created BTC and let the people to use. There is nothing illegal on this. I don't know what gonna reward whoever stops are hates BTC.

I think if ever satoshi announced to the world that Bitcoin is a scam, won't affect the Bitcoin economy. Why?  Reason is that Bitcoin economy were created without even knowing who satoshi is.  So, when all of a sudden someone claiming to be Satoshi said that Bitcoin is a scam, Bitcoin community might think the one claiming to be Satoshi is a scam himself but not Bitcoin.

First, he needs to make us believe that he is Satoshi.

So many clowns claim that hey are "the real satoshi" nowadays. :) Bitcoin may very well be a scam. But it is not a scam like an average person thinks. It can be turned into a scam if somebody, somehow gets %51 of the hash power without anybody noticing it. Or if some megabillioner company decides ruin our fun, there is not much we can do about it.

How you define bitcoin as scam or it can scam in near future? it can't be consider as scam even real satoshi came out and sell his all coins but i am sure the person who have even decided not to take credit till now for his great creation will come up and destroy that beautiful thing.

I don't believe that bitcoin can be a scam, people working with bitcoin everyday in many years and can prove that bitcoin is not a scam or it's very very smart scam.

Bitcoin itself is not a scam. It is just a currency or a too. Anybody can use it for his purpose, it can be used as a scam.

Its been for a long time now. So it is impossible for that thing to happen now. I say it will get stronger on the days to come. And no one controls it. Ao who will scam us. Its a free currency.

I have no idea who sathosi is, so I can't speculate. But, if you mean Satoshi, then piggybacking on the post below the OP, then he has to explain how is it a scam.

have very many people who invest their money in the form of bitcoin, and they are the ones who are very great. I think bitcoin will not scam just like that, other than that bitcoin has also been used for the transaction tool and many countries that receive it, I guess because they believe bitcoin that it does not there will be a scam

bitcoin itself cannot be a scam definitely and it will never be like that for sure, in my opinion there might be only websites that scam people and steal their bitcoins all the time

Man,i don`t understand your thread and your questions.Perfect your english.

We don`t even know who is the real Satoshi Nakamoto.Millions of people believe in bitcoin and will

continue to believe,even if a preson that claims he is satoshi says that btc is a "scam".

I thinked bitcoin were some new ponzi more elaborated, but it isnt, bitcoin has several money inside and huge support from its members that are making more and extra income with it, calling bitcoin scam even from Nakamoto wouldnt make any sense, bitcoin is freedom.

wise up, if bitcoin was a scam it would have been reveled by now.  plus theris no hidden code, its open source and has been looked at 1000,s of times.

Everyone has now a good knowledge about bitcoin and everyone know that bitcoin is a normal currency and is used world wide by a number of large companies, and people have their money into it so no one will accept it as scam and everyone will give value to it.

Bitcoin is spreaded and became famous worldwide also its been a long time since bitcoin has started I guess it is impossible , bitcoin will never be a scam it has been used for so many years . People can pretend that they are satoshi and maybe they will claim that bitcoin is a scam but they will never convinced the bitcoin users to believe .

no one has any ideas who is satoshi nakamoto and no one will ever find this out i think though i hope that bitcoin will never turn to scam hopefully and all people will be happy with it

well theoretically i think it is really possible if satoshi nakamoto sells all his bitcoins that would definitely cause a panic sell, though i dont think that this will ever happen

I think it will not happen that bitcoin will be scam because its already publish and many people are using bitcoin right now
Also the adoption is gradually increasing and more stores online are now accepting bitcoin as payment..

I don't think anyone has any idea who Satoshi is, except probably those who work on bitcoin core.
However, in a very personal opinion, I don't think bitcoin will turn into a scam anytime soon since bitcoin is being set for a world adoption.

Never think about bitcoin will going to scam even satoshi will claim it
Iactually i dont care who is satoshi? what i car, i get free money from what he build and i thanks to him

yes how can it be possible. i also dont think so. i think if it was scam then it will not stay for such a long time. but you can see that people are entering in the world of bitocin continuously and that is the proof that bitocin is not a scam. hope in future we will see that it has become legalize by the countries.

I hope so, but if it would be like that what will yo do?

Well if ever that bitcoin will become scam,  I will still continue to invest it since I saw the inreasing value of it nowadays. And literally the structure of bitcoin actually was really a pyramiding structure.  But since mr. Nakamoto invented this kind of digital currency He teached many people here including me, for us to become a financially independent in online digital currency for us to have savings. ;)

Many people had a bad idea that bitcoin is a scam or may be ponzi scheme, this is not a truth, if so it can't be smart still now, bitcoin is a currency which gives us only profit.

So far, bitcoin is not a scam. The creator has not sold any of the coins. It is different from other scam coins.

Many  altcoin maker do a networking scheme coin .but honestly bitcoin is not one of them but if bitcoin price will decrease back to 1$ the trust of people using crypto currency will be gone only few people will stay. And it will hard for bitcoin to pump again .

Well, many people are using bitcoin, and bitcoin I think has been reliable, even more countries begin to accept bitcoin as a means of transaction. Well, I can not imagine if bitcoin be a scam, probably a lot of people into unemployment again, and bereft of any business, perhaps they will return as a target adsense earnings

Bitcoin Scam = The End of Cryptocurrency.

Tell me how will someone EVER trust again a cryptocurrency. With thousands of millions of $$ in total, Bitcoin's scam would be a big mess for all of us. Except the fact that we'd loose all we've got in our wallets, the Bitcoin miners would have to pay THOUSANDS of dollars for the month of the scam..

I don't totally trust BTC as it's basically just a number, but I do think it's legit.

 

I don't think Mr. Satoshi Nakamoto will go to jail. Having a lots of money he can do anything for sure to be pardon. And for sure not all dev. will leave their coins.

Bitcoin is a decentralized currency and all of its users are the owners of bitcoin not Satoshi, if satoshi claim that bitcoin is scam then it will have the same effect as a normal person claim , i mean will not have effect be on it, but if each and every user of bitcoin claim together that bitcoin is scam then there will be no one to adopt it and no one will face lose but only those users who claim for it to be scam.

By the way now it is impossible that someone claim tat bitcoin is scam. bitcoin is now a world currency.

But if satoshi claim like that and then sell all of her bictoin, is it not have any effect?

Right. Bitcoin is not just an easy website that offers you x% from you deposit. Thats ponzi schemes. Bitcoin has millions of users and bitcoins is used on many websites and it cant be a scam

Bitcoin is decentralized currency, no one can control it, even satoshi can't doing so in my opinion. So it's pretty impossible that Bitcoin turn into scam , it's not an investment program but a real currency.

That "if" is the main reason for me to not hold many bitcoins. I use bitcoin in many occasions and i like it but why would i trust bitcoin? I don't trust banks or governments too and what would make me to trust bitcoin? They say bitcoin is a threat to banking system, so i should convert my money to bitcoin. That may be true but still there is a one big "if". I don't trust anything but my eyes.

I will use bitcoin when i need it, same as always.

Well in my opinion bitcoin cant be a scam, because its already make it debut and being used quite vast, and some country already adapt bitcoin, so in this case its impossible to declare bitcoin as a scam

bitcoin might not scam. it is quite impossible. bitcoin is controlled by all parties and bitcoin is not owned by one person. bitcoin owned by everyone. and until whenever bitcoin would never scam.

Thats right, bitcoin is not controlled by one person even though he created bitcoin maybe he could do some changes but for him to stopped bitcoins state as of now is  really impossible to happen since it grows rapidly and  also very vast to stop it now.  Bitcoin could never be a scam as of today.

For me it is not becoming problem because bitcoin and another cryptos coins are instrument of Investment. And on Investment there are risk, should every people who make Investment on bitcoin it is will not becoming problem too.

yes I agree with you. bitcoin is anonymous and can not be controlled. bitcoin possess unique properties compared to other investment media.

Yeah, bitcoin is the biggest cryptocurrency for now, and if it turns out to be a scam, that will be the end of cryptocurrency. People would lose their faith to cryptocurrency and leave it, and cryptocurrency will hard to regain back. Even there might be other better cryptocurrency, but I don't think it will works.

i think op is right he got a point if satoshi hacks someone 2-3btc and sold to in exchange do we will think it was someone else but he can have money like this and he will not even go to jail bit i know he will not do such things

if satoshi claim bitcoin as scam then satoshi need to expalain and if bitcoin is scam why many people are still and kept using bitcoin as a currency for their investment , trading and gambling etc. bitcoin is the father of all alt coins if bitcoin died then i think some alt coin will died too bitcoin will never be scam as you think bitcoin will become popular someday and more country are going to unbanned bitcoin.

That's right, if we saw from the realistic perspective in this time we can see a lot of people is believed with bitcoin and the statistic of bitcoin is always increase for every year and it's not possible for bitcoin to become a scam. maybe I can say like the people is can saying the bitcoin can be a scam is a drunk person. :D

If bitcoin as scam and many people still use it, i will keep use bitcoin. Because bitcoin is really important to me and i can't believe if bitcoin as scam.

LOL, I think if bitcoin is already scam (something I do not want) you will be futile if it continues to use bitcoin, because bitcoin is not worth it anymore. But I am optimistic as you, although there is possible scam that I think there will be a process that makes bitcoin be a scam, and it will not happen suddenly. Thanks

It doesn't matter if bitcoin is scam or not. For what most important is we all gain benefits of it by using bitcoin in different categories, such as trading, mode of payment in billings, neither in the restaurant, or shopping online , :)
And its too impossible that satoshi will go jail cause up to now his identity is still unknown. :)

 
Were in the same page dude, I don't care if bitcoin is scam it really doesn't matter, because its been like a treasure to me actually. I also do believe whether all member here find out that bitcoin is scam they will also continue to use it because its too useful at all,isn't?

You know guys, I'm a Bitcoin fanatic just like both of you. But if we are going to check the structure and design of it(Bitcoin) it is totally a scam that's the reality..But since the community patronize which some of the big in people invested on it a million amount of dollars its just all of a sudden the bitcoin became popular.. I'm just stating the fact. ;)

First thing, it is Satoshi, not sathosi.
Secondly, how can bitcoin be a scam ?
I mean bitcoin does not belong specific to anyone, any organization or even the Government and Satoshi Nakamoto, even though he is the one who create bitcoin. No one can control all the bitcoin in the world, so how can it scam people ?

we all believe in the power of bitcoin. we as bitcoin users must continue to strive to make bitcoin continue to survive in the market. bitcoin use every day to make greater bitcoin community

bitcoin is not a scam and it won't scam people, may be the mining operations are alleged to be scams but to narrow down the definition mining scams can be described as operations, which take a fee to mine Bitcoin on your behalf but never deliver.

If bitcoin is indeed a scam, then there's really no point in using bitcoin anymore since it is indeed a scam.
I mean, why would you even go on and feed the devs knowing fully that the service they are offering is just a big scam operation? Either you're stupid enough that you'll get compensated or you have a misplaced kindness of wanting to help the scammers get more profit.

Yeah, if indeed the bitcoin scam. Then you have to go from bitcoin, and if you are still using bitcoin it advantageous for us. And I see that bitcoin will not scam, because the devs don't have bitcoin is clear and will not probably a scam. for if bitcoin scam then the price will drop into the bitcoin number $ 0 and everyone will cease to use the bitcoin

that's right but the main question,how bitcoin could scam people?,it's decentralized so no one can take full control of it,and it's a currency,currency only being used for trading and don't have brain so it'll not scam the user
and if cryptocurrency doomed,maybe there will be another advanced technology coming up

If its a scam then it is too big to fail probably and we shouldnt worry about it :)

bitcoin is like the bible. well maybe more true, let us just compare it with religion.
so even if it is a scam. it works. many people do good with it and some are doing bad things with it, but even if you proof that it is a scam it still works and people will use it.

if satoshi claim bitcoin as scam then i won't listen. the hell would I know if he is the real satoshi.  and besides bitcoin flourish without him in sight.   So I think it doesnt matter if someone claiming to be satoshi that bitcoin is scam. People will still believe in it use it and work for it.  Well miner will still be mining for it for sure.

To be honest, the real person/group that originally created the blockchain and everything probably aren't involved all that much anymore or they're sitting back and biding their time until they do something. There is basically no way you can say bitcoin is a scam anymore though. There is too much invested and too many people using it for it to just be a "scam" out of the blue.

We don't even know who is satoshi in the first place but what youre saying is really impossible cause many people are already using it so it is definitely not a scam.

That is not going to happen, the creator of bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto has created this coin and left it for the people in the world of crypto currency so how could he wake up now and claim that bitcoin is a scam?

If Bitcoin is a scam what is then true? How can we trust anything in this world? Does that mean that people all around the world who use Bitcoins are fools? I don't think so. If Bitcoin was a scam that would be obvious after few months and the whole system wouldn't last so long.

yes if satoshi Nakamoto want be a scammer certainly it will happen when the price touched $ 1,200 bitcoin however the fact that there is absolutely no sales did he do but mt GOX as the largest exchange get a problem.

Indeed, mr. satoshi nakamoto was very intelligent person that he created like this one famaous bitcoin in digital currency, that helped a lot of people to become financially independent, and I am one of them. Maybe wayback 2009 bitcoin can a scam really, but when people started to used and promote it up to now I cannot say now that bitcoin is scam. :)

We really don't know what he's trying to intend to about this question. It could be he/she just wanted to get the opinion of others for him/her to have more an idea about bitcoins. Or discovering something about it. :)

yeah bitcoin already owned by millions of people may be more than 10 million people in the world are already using bitcoin? and what would happen if bitcoin scam? can you imagine what would happen?

What an absurd question. These days bitcoin does not depend anymore on a single person to decide its future. Bitcoin is now a vast community of people supporting its structure and satoshi by himself can't stop this complex ecosystem.

caused by that i can say this is very useless things because bitcoin is made for the human's life can making easier for every transaction in the world and not just for scamming the human in the world.

agree, bitcoin was created for a purpose and it doesnt intend to scam people. The creator itself have  a good perspective on helping people and now  hes project is succesful and flying out now with colors. Bitcoins existence really helps a lot in many ways and there are many to mention .  ;D

Exactly, bitcoins helps a lot of people to earn an extra income every month for savings or spending on their families, there are people having a really small salary and earning bitcoins on the other side to manage their houses, bitcoin is helping me earn some money as a student and i proudly can say that i'm earning.

Yes. Doesnt need to scam anyone to gain some profit in bitcoin. If no one will let anyone abuse them using this currency as a scam method then those scammers will get weary and will just work theirselves for income.

Some of us are  relying in bitcoin as their sidejob to gain extra profits in able to sustain  the needs of everyday living which is  a really big help of bitcoin.  Because of this  advantage  many lives were affected of bitcoin existence so its not a scam after all.

For me bitcoin is important as an income too, not my main income but surelly i get some extra bonus doing jobs for bitcoin.
This proofs at least for me that I believe bitcoin is not a scam.

Many of us are earning bitcoins as an extra income, i dont actually have a job as i'm a student yet but i'm also earning bitcoins for using them later on when i need them and we know it wont turn scam as it is a long time now that bitcoin did not scam anyone.

I agree with you. The bitcoin is very useful. You can use it to buy things and use it as an investment. So it is not a scam.

How can you Say bitcoin as scam, we millions of user had benefited from bitcoin and after having benefit of millions and billions how can we day bitcoin is a scam. Yes i agree that 99% sites related to bitcoin are scam this doesn't mean that you could regard bitcoin as scam.

You don't need for giving a serious respond for that because this thread absolutely is not made for a serious purpose, but I sure if the op is already known about that. maybe i can say this more just like a troll considering from a lot of fact about bitcoin.

Bitcoin has changed the lives of many people. There's no wonder why there are almost 1 mln members registered in this forum and their main interest is bitcoin. Since bitcoin is decentralized and open source there's nothing hidden about it so it's not a scam.

Even if bitcoin fails(it never will but just assuming) be happy that you used it and it helped in your life to make it better.

Bitcoin it's like a gold in the Internet, so bitcoin can't be scam as well as gold can't be scam :)

Even if he claims that or not, or even if he goes back or not, it would change nothing because he already let go of it to other people a long time ago already. So he would not have any claim or whatsoever.

economy in the world will be destroyed and the financial system will not run well. because bitcoin previously have taken up most of the world's financial viability.

well actually satoshi nakamoto's speculation matter a lot for bitcoin users as bitcoin users always believing satoshi nakamoto and that's why they're now entitled as bitcoin users,so it's definitely mean that his claim will not "change nothing"

If that comes out as fact that Bitcoin was a scam people will loose faith on anything in future which will be innovative. Fortunately this isn't reality Bitcoin has serious and trustworthy people and institutions attached with it. All these big investors are well aware of where they are pouring their money.

Well satoshi will never be scam , bitcoin satoshi are the same many of us are using bitcoin specially in USA there are number user of bitcoin.
and there are lots of traders there trading alternative coins and earning more profit thats a wesome things to do. satoshi will never be scam thats it. and period.

Please realize that current financial & monetary system is a scam - bitcoin is something that can bring us new start.
Free ourselves from dictatorship of global wealthy elites and their behind the curtain schemes.

If bitcoin turns out as a scam, then everyone of us will be disappointed. We will all lose whatever money that is left in Bitcoin currency. Atleast those people who have earned more than what they have lost at that time should be grateful to Bitcoin for the experience and for the profit as well. I also believe that I will be devastated if Bitcoin turns out as a scam, right now atleast, for I haven't cashed out any of my earnings just yet.

topics like this are really pointless junk, they have nothing to contribute and OP doesn't even know what he is asking himself.

and this is turning into a new thing in this board, people come up with the most outrageous topics that doesn't make any sense then post it as a question and it always leads to 100 pages of repeated nonsense. like saying if the world ends will bitcoin survive :D

if bitcoin scam, perhaps many people will menglami huge losses, so am I. but in my opinion it is not possible, because the bitcoin network has been very thorough world wide.. :D

What do you mean of that word (bold word)?

If bitcoin is scam, a lot of rich guys would know it before it even gets to be scam.
I mean, bitcoin could not be as powerful as it is now if it has a possibility of being scam.

Bitcoin turning out as a scam would definitely affect all of us. All of the altcoin users are depending on Bitcoin so it would affect them, as well. Most of us would be angry and would be devastated but looking at the bright side of it, you're not the one who has lost the most. You're not the top 1 Bitcoin investor, you're not even in the top 100.

To those that are still thinking that Bitcoin has a chance to turn out as a scam, then go ahead and sell all of your coins then withdraw them in fiat.

If bitcoin is scam no one will invest in bitcoin maybe in the first time if they know that bitcoin is scam many people are preventing to tag it as scam so that no people will be victim with bitcoin.. but the  truth bitcoin will never scam since we are using and earning it.

yes mate it can never be scam since many of us here beleives for the future of this currency its a web based money for all of us.
