Is Satoshi Nakamoto really the founder of bitcoin? Then why he did not show in public? What do you think the reason maybe? He might be a billionaire by now if he showed his true identity in public.

Yes.

Why would he? He would most likely be in life-threatening danger if he did.

He doesn't have to show anything to the public. Anyhow, Bitcoin is not based on trust, nor any kind of authority. Who invented it does not matter at this point, nor does any know who Satoshi is.

Satoshi may be one person or may be just the name behind a group of people who all created the block chain technology and Bitcoin. So far there have been a couple of people who claimed to be Satoshi, but not even one of them managed to prove it. About why he is not showing his true identity there are many theories - imagine you were that person with such a big stash of bitcoins in your possession? Are you gonna show yourself? Another theory is that he is already dead and that's why those coins from the early blocks are not moving at all. Another one is that he went nuts and lost his private keys and even if he shows himself no one will believe him, because he can't prove it. And there are many more theories, but you get my point...

There is no founder of the bitcoin and if hi where there he would aleady sad that he found the bitcoin. I dont think they called founders i think someone make the btitcoin

Bitcoin supposed to be anonymous, that's why even the founder won't show up because he/she knows what does it mean to be anonymous.

"Satoshi" could be a secret project from the NSA/CIA/Global Elite.
Did they trick a group of idealistic "libertarians" into promoting a system of Global Blockchain slavery :o , or will Bitcoin bring freedom to the masses?

No you confusing Dash with Bitcoin  ;D ;D ;D ....If they did, it would go down in history as the biggest prank in a decade. The coming " private Blockchains " from banks like E3 will serve that purpose

in the future, and people will trust them, like they do with fiat banks now. Satoshi never intended for Bitcoin to be a honey pot for secret agencies... this only happened when Gavin visited them, and

they started forcing people to make use of regulated 3rd parties, like Coinbase. {Conveniently, these services had to adhere to strict AML/KYC regulations and pseudo-anonymity died in the process}

Satoshi Nakamoto.

I think someone who created Bitcoin are the same as Founders though  :-\

Anyway, the first one who had an Idea to create is Satoshi, as he was the first one to write the Bitcoin system on paper
So I guess that Founder seat is reserved to him ;D

I would suggest just google the answer or look up threads from the past. This has been brought up plenty times already. Satoshi founded it but it is an alias. We are still not sure who the real founder is. Chris is a possibility, but again its not certain. A lot of speculation about his friend who passed away being satoshi.

Satoshi nakamoto is only the title of the creator of bitcoin nobody even knows his real age by now and also no one knows country of his or her origin. He love to be anonymous just like bitcoin and nobody including me wants him to be public and create panic to traders.

as far as I know, "satoshi nakamoto" is not real name.

I think it doesn't make him more famous or get more income if he shows himself in public, but probably out there, there are people want to do such bad things to him, maybe kind of hacking imo.

Yes, that's him. He has no interest to shows him in public, and he would have serious problems if he would do so.

Searching on google,and you will find Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto photos everywhere,yes google admit that he was the founder of bitcoin,even someone already sat with him and talk about bitcoin creator,he doesn't look like interesting,and he said that bitcoin creator should keep hiding and not coming up,i dont what the reason.

who''s to say Satoshi wasn't  just the front man? If I was bitcoin''s creator and was that obsessed with staying off the radar i'd  have multiple layers. Even if Satoshi, with all the measures he took, had been exposed I'd  still be fine.

may be the main reason is TAX

On some news, Satoshi Nakamoto is bitcoin creator. But on different news  satoshi, it's the only inventor of bitcoin. I make me confused about it.

http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-36168863

The moment Satoshi will try to move his coins and convert them to FIAT his identity most likely will be exposed.
It is not possible for him to sell his coins now without fear of being hunted by either by haters or crazy followers.

The second option is that he might be already dead.

I wish he still around in this forum and talk with him https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3   :'(

Indeed no one knows who the founder is because its anonymous and I also think this will always be like this.
Some people are saying they are the founder but there never been any good proof...

Yes with all information and news that I read satoshi Nakamoto is the founder bitcoin. I think there are two reasons why he did not reveal himself in public.
First : as we know bitcoin currency is hated by many governments around the world, and as we know bitcoin is desetralisasi. So did not recognize satoshi Nakamoto I guess to avoid the intervention from the government.
Second : when bitcoin turned into a scam then satoshi Nakamoto will be safe and free from the law instead, but of course I did not expect this thing happen
thank you

Yes satoshi Nakamoto created bitcoin, He just want to be anonymous, no one know him, he just want to hide himself from the public. I think for safety purposes. He might be kidnap or rob

You already said the reason why satoshi nakamoto dont show on public.Being a billionare isnt that easy your life is in risk everytime you go out and shown your identity in public.As owner of the most well known cryptocurrency coin he is already a millionaire and thats the reason why he keep his indentity in publicBevause im sure therr are threats to him

Everyone here who says that Satoshi sold reveal himself is most likely a kid. They don't understand the dangers of publicity, and even creating something like bitcoin. You could bring down companies and markets, and people you want knocking on your door.

You could be an assassination target.

I think the reason why satoshi nakamoto is not showing his real profile is for his privacy and for his security purposes, He might be rob or kidnap

who cares about the founder of bitcoin!
bitcoin is an open source technology which means it belongs to everyone and since there are many developers working on it now they are the creators of the new bitcoin (i am talking about the new code and the changes)

Yes satoshi does, i don't have any objections with that.
But he should not show personal indentations on public because it will potentially give bad affect with satoshi real life mainly with assets safety or own life. So satoshi nakamoto have good decision to make her/his self keep anonymous.

Yeah right and if you are looking some proof you can found it here he name account is satoshi nakamoto that you can see under his name found of bitcoin and this bitcoin forum. that's a proof that i know because of research here before..

Awesome,good answer mr. Lauda,yes  agree with you,satoshi is the founder of bitcoin,and he should not show his self to public,its dangerous for him and people around him,and also i hear that dorian Nakamoto also suggest same thing,he ask Satoshi to keep hidung.. but i wonder untuk when?its foverever we can't see the real Satoshi??

I am not sure Satoshi is the real founder of Bitcoin or not. but it doesn't matter, why should we waste our time to find founder of bitcoin when he himself want to be anonymous and don't publish his identify..
we believe on bitcoin and the current bitcoin rate, thats all for us.

If Satoshi was the real founder of bitcoin the he is probably no more.

I agree with you that bitcoin is created not founded. SO there is no owner in bitcoin community

Good luck with the IRS if he's going public.

When Satoshi initially set up the bitcoin network he was the only person running the software so he mined all of the first bitcoins, about a million of them. Those coins are still there, you can see them on the blockchain, they haven't moved in years and everyone knows that they are Satoshi's coins. For someone to prove that they are Satoshi all they have to do is spend some of those coins.

And here we are again :)
Nobody can answer this question.
It can be even group of people or organization behind this name, we don't know.
For me personally, much more important question is what we can do with Bitcoin?
Can Bitcoin change our lives?
How?
I'm sure that founder of Bitcoin have very good reasons to hide his identity.
So, let's focus on Bitcoin and more productive things.

You are right but still it's interesting to know who he is, well to me at least. I was watching with big interest that BBC guy the other day, thought it's him. Actually I still think it's him, but I know the majority of the community don't think so.

We can not even tell  if Satoshi Nakamoto is an individual person or a group of people. He/she/they hide most probably beacuse of security reasons.

Is Satoshi Nakamoto really the founder of bitcoin?
Yup satoshi nakamoto is founder of bitcoin.
Then why he did not show in public?
I think he have a reason why. Because if he public his name Many rubbers or bad guys want to find him. And they do bad things like kidnap for bitcoin ransom.
What do you think the reason maybe?
Because if he shown up many things that will happen bad things and good things but i think he have a simple life that he wants
He might be a billionaire by now if he showed his true identity in public.
I think he is quite billionaire that his family only know how much money he have.

,
Interesting aspect, from what I know IRS classified bitcoin as a 'property' and not as 'currency'. In general the IRS is taking a cautious approach due to infancy of cryptocurrencies.
So I wonder whetehr IRS could tax BTC and if yes, then 'how' huge bitcoin stash could be taxed? We have to remember that law is not retroactive.

I said IRS assuming Satoshi is a US citizen. Although most likely he is/they are not, the same will apply to any country. Where I am from, I shouldn't declare bitcoins I have mined. However, when I am going to sell them, I should declare the income for taxation. Therefore, if I was to declare that I hold 1.000.000 btc, they will watch and monitor any step I make.

Thats right he is hiding himself from the public to able to protect his private Life and for his security, But i think he is only an individual

i have hear about a person who is from japan. his name is SATOSHI NAKAMOTO. he develop the bitcoin and now it is going to be become a global currency.

the founder of bitcoin is satoshi nakamoto and satoshi is anonymous and i think it is time that people accept this fact and stop trying to find satoshi.
this way frauds like craig write can not mess with the community and get away with it.

yes satoshi nakamoto is the founder and the inventor behind bitcoin but he's real identity haven't showed or being known by the public i don't think that the founder of bitcoin is only a one person but is a group of programmers that is expert of cryptography .

Came to know that Satoshi is the founder, but I believe it has got a big team. One among that is Satoshi and he's the person from whom such a innovative idea came forward.

I believe that if Satoshi Nakamoto is not the real found of bitcoin then there are few people that invented bitcoin as an alternative way to send money and decentralized. About not showing his/their identity in public it's ok because lots of money are hold by him/them, and it's a bit risky. I think that after few years when bitcoin will be stabilized they will come up.

i doubt that there was actually a team of coders as the anonimity of the whole team would be nearly impossible to hide in my opinion as their family members or something like that would know

i think that satoshi nakamoto was the only one person that created bitcoins because he was a perfect programmer who understood the need of anonymous and centralization free currency

I agree chief, in the first place its just a name and i come to think that in that particular name of Satoshi Nakamoto there is a hidden name on it and the thing that he was a genius to create this .like bill gates who create windows now its widely known in the world.

That fact is that we all know that it is SATOSHI NAKAMOTO invented Bitcoins, and there's nothing more to it. Satoshi can either be an individual, a group of people, a company, a dog, an AI, or an alien.
Nobody really knows the truth about it.

i have hear about that a japanies person named Satoshi Nimattodo  or some thing like this is the founder of bitcoin.

Well, satoshi is certainly the founder of bitcoin but nobody really knows who satoshi is. He chooses to stay anonymous and there are many hoaxes about who he actually is(Dorian and Wright).

I think it's best to leave him alone.

well according to the history for how bitcoin created, it was Nakamoto Satoshi  genious person invented it.
but for the reason only Him know the right reason but for sure its for our own good sake to all bitcoins enthusiast.

as far as i know, it was like mr. satoshi nakamoto invented the first air bitcoin. 😇😇😇 as I know only that, but I'm not sure if he really invented the first air of BTC

Sure it was Satoshi Nakamoto but it's fake name i think, cause we still don't know who is he or maybe even she is. I think it's should be a young man.

I am still confused whether bitcoin's creator Satoshi Nakamoto or not. from my search on the internet turns out there claiming to be the founder of the actual bitcoin, he named Steven Wright comes from Sydney Australia.dan many people who agree that The real Steven Wright is the creator of bitcoin. hmmm, could it? I'm still not entirely sure .. everything is still unknown about bitcoin creator.  ???

Satoshi nakamoto is the name by  we identify creator of bitcoin but his actual identification is yet a mystery and no one exactly knows who is satoshi. Many high profile guys claimed to be satoshi but they all came out to be fraud. So still it's a mystery. I think satoshi have kept many bitcoin I wallet and might be thinking that After sky rocketing price he will sell his bitcoin and will become next billionaire. Or he might fearing of get arrested by police. I am just guessing these.

Satoshi Nakamoto could be more than one person, we do not know. One thing we do know now, is that Bitcoin was handed over to the people, so every single one of us using it now, are Satoshi Nakamoto. We are the miners that keep the technology going, we host the nodes and we make the decision and we are the developers of the new code.

We are, Satoshi Nakamoto. ^smile^

You are right, if  hes  project  is  completely anonymous then  for sure  hes anonymous too and also  he wouldnt intend to show  himself  on public  because  of  many reasons,  one , his  life would be  in danger   because  he would surely arrested  by governments on  creating bitcoin and there are lots of things and thats why  until  now theres no one  knows where is  satoshi nakamoto nowadays.

Yeah and either he can be a one person or group of people, we would never come across through the reality till bitcoin dies I guess, but without thinking much I think we should concentrate on collecting maximum coins.

If he reveal himself then there will be huge panic within traders as satoshi holds so much bitcoin in his addresses and to be billionaire he have to sell them all which will make huge price crash for bitcoin. I don't think satoshi wants to make his great work to crash like this way.

That's also what i know but no one ever claim that he is Satoshi Nakamoto. No one even knows how does bitcoin started or where it was first used. There are some comments that bitcoin was created to ruin the fiat and monetary system worldwide but im not sure about it.

Why should he show his identity when he is already a billionaire without it?He doesnt need any endorsements or offer from Hollywood to make money and if he shows himself to public,this might put him in some trouble

well yeah there is no reason to be honest, he would most probably be hunted if he revealed that

He is indeed already rich from his bitcoin

People knows that satoahi nakamoto is the creator of bitcoin but no one knows whether he is person or a group his/their identity is still is not known to common guys and many intelligence agencies are trying to find the identity and many high profile member claimed to be satoshi be all they came out to be fake and still his identity is a mystery. And no one knows that when he will come out of dark and give his identification to common people.

Whenever I thought about this issue then my I concluded based on my little bit research that satoshi could be anyone including a person, group, company or even a government of any country. It’s really difficult to figure out the real identity of satoshi unless satoshi himself reveals his identity and we might see some 5 or 20 satoshi claims till the end of this decade but to identify the real one is really a tough job.

Nobody knows. He is afraid of being a target for the Mafia probably. Satoshi Nakamoto ain't even his real name probably. Maybe there isn't even one person who created bitcoin but a team. That's more likely. I guess we will never know.

I like to separate developer from founder.

Founder: One who establishes something or formulates the basis for something: the founder of a university.

Developer: creator - a person who grows, makes or invents things.

The developer of Bitcoin is known as Satoshi Nakamoto and may or may not be a single individual. He immediately abandoned Bitcoin after its development and left the alert keys to the guy listed below to promote.

The founder of Bitcoin was Gavin Andresen who for years was worshiped as a god on this forum. Any meaningless drivel he spouted was parroted back in quotes by every member of this forum like it was spun gold emanating from the vocal cords of Jesus Christ. He's now on par with a floating turd in a clogged truck stop toilet.

I doubt it's anything so fancy as a billionaire or such, He/She is simply someone who made an interesting idea and made it reality, it's amazing and deserves all kinds of praise IMO but it's not their property and I am sure they are proud but if they would like to keep their privacy then it's their right.

If you search about satoshi nakamoto online you will get pictures of different people all who were guessed as real founder of bitcoin in past. However satoshi is just a hypothetical name given to founder of bitcoin and nobody have ever meet him or have any contact of him.

Satoshi Nakamoto is the Founder of Bitcoin, but it is unknown whether he is just one person or a group of people who created it together...
And not necessarily is Satoshi the name of the founder as this is all about anonymity, so it's unsure who actually invented Bitcoins...

i never think if bitcoin is has a founder, but more likely for call that is has a developer. because is not creating by the individual person and in my mind bitcoin is made by the team, that's so amazing if bitcoin is having a founder like he is creating by the individual. bitcoin is not have a founder but that is just have a developer but till this time i never know about the developer of bitcoin, that's so really vague.

OMG! This news is new to me. Thank you very much for this. You mentioned that after the development of bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto immediately abandoned it and left the keys to Gavin Andersen, does it means that Andersen personally knows Satoshi Nakamoto?

I think I've posted in several threads like this already,
but I would like to point out, again, that it doesn't matter who Satoshi really is.
The ideas of Bitcoin are what matters.

We need to discuss the possibilities of a new financial system,
develop new technologies for transactions and blockchain confirmations,
and realize that the ideas are what is important here!  ;D

From what I've read on this forum, Andresen communicated with Nakamoto via email and this forum about Bitcoin but I don't believe they ever met in person.

founder bitcoin is Satoshi Nakamoto
but in this him only anonymous, he is not realy and diclare iam founder bitcoin in public
you can't gender founder bitcoin female or man, and where can't he is from country only anonymous

That means satoshi nakamoto is exist and live in real life. How far this evidence without doubt.

Yes nobody knows if that his real name either. But I guess he just want to make himself really anonymous and doesn't want to be known well by many people.

I'm not sure if the speculations that he is dead is just hoax and wanted to him dead so that people are not going to dream of seeing him.

But still he did a great job for all of us.

With founder of bitcoin is being anonymous, in my perspective it adds extra value to bitcoin's core concepts of decentralization. Just think practically, for a decentralised system there won't be any need of one central power authority/creator.

After Satoshi went anonymous, bitcoin becomes like a God given gift to mankind. Or it is brought into this earth by aliens. Imaginations are unlimited. But in my opinion, a decentralization system with the no founder/owner must be a perfect one.

It would definitely put him in a lot of trouble.

Also note that Satoshi hasn't done basically anything since Bitcoin was >$50 or whatever, probably means he isn't interested in coming back for his money yet. While he might really want to have that amount of money, I think he might have honestly tossed away the private key for the good of the blockchain, but that's just my opinion and not really backed up by anything.

and so the andersen is the close people of satoshi? or he just a friend. but this is my first time heard about andersen in this forum.

Everyone say that Mr. Nakamoto is the founder of bitcoin and some people is wondering why he is not appearing to the public. He has a valid reason for snot appearing and I truly support that reason.

Bitcoin is a revolution towards a free world. He has tried to establish an alternate economy in to the current situation. Unlike any other fiat currency, bitcoin is not a tangible asset. So no country will want bitcoin to mix in to their own economy. So if the actual Mr. Nakamoto revels his identity to the world, he will immediately become the "Most wanted criminal" for all the enforcement agency. So let him live his life peacefully and please continue enjoying the bitcoin without disturbing him.

"If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry" - Quote from Satoshi Nakamoto

You don't need to know, who is really satoshi , the person? or the group? or somone else? and he doesn't need to show his identity to be a billionare, he has already super rich since the bitcoin was created, why should he revealed his identity when he has lot of bitcoin, and i don't think he will do that, just respect what he has created.

well is it still in debate who is the founder of bitcoin, if he mention it to the world maybe he is going to be the most wanted person by hackers and all robbers, and the government will looking for him to give him tax, so its better the founder to stay hidden

He is the founder of Bitcoin, and he likely won't show in public because he is the creator of a $10b value currency, and this means a lot of people would want to get their hands on him for one reason or another. Might be political, might be criminal.

He might be a billionaire, but a ton of governments would want to get him, and criminal orgs would equally want him. If he says nothing that is best for him, plain and simple.

Hahahaha,  I like how simple and direct to the point you are saying.

He won't show up mainly because of tax.

Yes, the Founder is hidden. But he is one of the famous billionaires in the world. I want to see him once in my life. He created history in digital currency world. Yes because of TAX he is hidden. But my doubt is he is hidden means who is running this main Bitcoin business in the market. Like this number of doubts coming in my mind.

many people say that the inventor is satoshi Nakamoto, I myself do not believe 100% on it..

there are many reasons like he have predicted any future market crash or he knows about bitcoin's biggest mistake or he do not want anybody to treated as a ruler of this wonderful power

People believe's that Satoshi Nakamoto it's the creator of bitcoin but his real identification is still a mystery and no one knows who is he or is it a group. We know only that satoshi nakamoto is the creator of bitcoin. He might have lots of bitcoin and he will come back to real world out of dark when bitcoin price soul go up as high as half million Rs.

Satoshi Nakamoto had already submitted documents and released bitcoin in 2009 January 3rd publicly but still no one knows who is he or satoshi nakamkto might also represent a group. Many intelligence agencies had tried to find his real identity but came out finding fake profiles. So till now it's just a mystery and no one knows when he will reveal his secret.

Some people have motivations to do things that the rest off us "mere mortals" wouldnt, ill be honest i am driven by the cash, but i admire anyone who does things for the common good.  It is aswell that we have people like that or the human race would be in a shit state...... ;)

Damn I really thought Satoshi Nakamoto is a real Japanese guy until I saw this thread which I thought is a joke at first. Anyway whoever created bitcoin is a real definition of a true human. After all service to humanity is the best work in life.

you are right, the only thing that is sure about bitcoins creator is that he is satoshi nakamoto, nothing else is known

The general consensus is that Satoshi Nakamoto is the founder of bitcoin but no one knows for sure who he or she it. We don't even know if it is the real name or if it is even just one person or a group of people.

The founder of bitcoin will be revealed in some point of time, but for now it is better he/she stays anonymous because he may be a target for criminals.
Fact is that we should be very grateful for his efforts.

Humanity is not dead!
Maybe Satoshi Nakamoto is our modern day Robin Hood :)
He have his own reasons for creating bitcoin and I think one of those is to help poor people.

satoshi nakamoto only anonymous, not only one people know the real name satoshi nakamoto
so not only one people know satoshi nakamoto gender female or male, not one people this know where from to satoshi nakamoto

satoshi nakamoto only online name in founder bitcoin not real name

Well, for his/her/their sake, I hope it is only after they have lived a decent life and died of natural causes before they are revealed. I don't think anyone with a decent heart, and an ounce of sense would want those who cryptocurrency threatens to get a hold of them while their live(s) could still be made miserable in retribution.

Yep. Bitcoin and it's protocol has the irredentism l potential affect so many people, for the better out the worse. All it takes is one madman.

But satoshi refuse that he is the founder of Bitcoin in many interviews. I think founder might be from Australian region and as said he is hidden due to Bitcoin seems to be decentralized. Once it become centralized he will reveal that in public automatically.

It might be because he is already dead(which I believe is true).

Or, He has an access to a million bitcoins. Imagine a million bitcoins coming back to circulation. Demand will be the same and supply will increase. But Bitcoin runs on speculation, or so they say. People might not think Bitcoin is a safe investment and might dump all their coins to keep their investment "safe" which in turns drops the price significantly and makes the market unstable.


I never heard about satoshi refusing to be the founder of Bitcoin.

How it would be possible. Really I could not understand how bitcoins will get chances to become centralized.
Even some countries legalizing bitcoin system or adopting bitcoin payments as their regulated currency, I believe, those will not affect any of bitcoin concepts of being decentralized.

Maybe he is best friend with Satoshi Nakamoto told him that he will come out when bitcoin becomes centralized! Lol! Or maybe Satoshi Nakamoto talked to him in his dreams! Hahaha. He is really very funny! :D

Close friend maybe? or stoles of some ideas of him? we dont know. haha i dont know if when or it will be happening it soon that thing "Centralized!" haha i didnt think of it and i dont why? hahaha

I think it's not anything so unpredictable like that, Satoshi is probably someone who had believe in the concept of digital coin and made that, And after that the project went probably above what Satoshi himself imagined, Regarding the privacy part I guess this is the choice he/she made, not our place to intrude.

Base on the bitcoin experts here in bitcoin world, Mr. Nakamoto Satoshi is the real founder of bitcoin, Now for whatever reason why he/she is not showing himself/herself to the public in bitcoin community is we really don't know. All we know that,  is bitcoin helped many people who are totally became hopeless in their lives and now they already survive because of it.

Is Satoshi Nakamoto really the founder of bitcoin?
- Yes, according to the Internet and to the people on the Internet at least.

Then why he did not show in public?
- If you're a billionaire/trillionaire, why would you even need attention? Satoshi revealing himself will just cause a lot of stress to himself. I think his hard work is paying off right now and will pay off even more in the future.

What do you think the reason maybe?
- As I said, revealing yourself when you're one of the most richest person in the world will just cause stress especially if you're the founder of Bitcoin. People have a lot of questions to the founder of Bitcoin just like how much questions does the humanity have to the creator of this world.

He might be a billionaire by now if he showed his true identity in public.
- The publicity of his identity is irrelevant to how much money he has.

i think Satoshi Nakamoto is bitcoin's father. However, he does not like to show up in public because he might love to live in the the shadow. That is my opinion
regards :)

Satoshi Nakamato. Period. Nor do I know who/what he/they are/is, neither do you. The End. ;) ;D

No doubt it's Satoshi who had invented bitcoin. In my view he is holding millions of bitcoin effigy he would sell afyer few years when price will reach more then $1000. So that he could become the next billionaire. Our might be he us thinking that if he reveals the truth they he might get arrested because if violation of government rules

what is his purpose of showing himself in public, it's better he stay hidden, if he showed his identity to the world then his life will be disturbed by media and maybe can become the criminal target, I don't care who is the founder, the one that i know is Satoshi Nakamoto is the creator and i am grateful for his invention

Without anyone pinch of doubt we all know that Satoshi had invented the technology because he had posted and launched the technology. but no one still knows that whether he is an individual or represents a group. but all knows that Satoshi is the founder of bitcoin technology.

Don't think so, if he had intention of being billionaire he may have sold it few years back when price was over $1000. He like to stay anonymous as well as its also better for all bitcoin holders that he stay anonymous and never moves his bitcoins.

I think satoshi nakamoto really the founder of bitcoin!
Maybe he is a group of peoples that have this name or maybe one person.
It's hard to find him, he is anonymous.
By the way, I think he is a japanese man  ;D

Lol!
The name Satosh Nakamoto is obviously for a Japanese Man :)
But we have no assurance that he is really a Japanese as we all know that Bitcoin is popular for bidding someone's identity :)
Maybe Satoshi Nakamoto is just a code name or a user name when he started creating Bitcoin ;)

ROFL

That's right, Satoshi Nakamoto is code for cat loving fat French faggot that steals all the bitcoins.

http://media1.s-nbcnews.com/j/newscms/2015_31/1152301/150801-mark-karpeles-ef-2031_2d50c06094006265d9180ef4a5982124.nbcnews-fp-1200-800.jpg

Correct, Satoshi Nakamoto is just his handle and we never knew about his identity. Though are many claimants or being suspected as Nakamoto still he did not admit publicly I think. There is one that I followed in news item, a professor from Australia, he is likely Satoshi IMHO.

i think satoshi have some personal issues on this and on other thoughts he want to set this whole money system free and open source so on one can clam their rights on this or can torcher anyone for this. even government can not do anything if he doent claim his ownership on it

I think he is a billionaire anyway. He/she has good reasons not to show up in public, because once you show up - some government would find a way for you to pay huge taxes, because what country doesn't want some extra hundreds of millions? And I think things can even get worse than that. Bitcoin might be illegal in your country, so then you might go to jail for creating it.

In fact it is useless to try to locate or research on the founder of the coin. Whoever/whichever organisation created the blockchain technology was a genius - no doubt about that. but revealing their true identity in public would be life-threatening for themselves and all sorts of government mal-accusations would start against them. In this context I believe that what Satoshi did was correct - remain anonymous till their death.

Yes we all know it's Satoshi who had invented the technology but none had ever seen him in reality we all know only the name that's it. He might be in dark due to many reasons like. He might have thought that if he come out of dark then he might get arrested for developing such system.

Same as most users quoted, i too believe that bitcoin Satoshi is the founder of bitcoin. At the same none is cent percent sure that Satoshi is the founder and doesn't know his identity. Only on the name its been true that he's from China.

The only person that can answer these question would be the person themselves?  I think what they did was right and never showing up would be good.

as most mos the people coated that Satoshi is the founder of bitcoin but still no one every saw him, so how can we believe that he is the real founder of bitcoin, to me it can also be just a fake name and there may be no reality about the name of the founder of bitcoin,

i only know satoshi nakamoto is the creator and make calculating in bitcoin with his friends but i don't know who is the real person that created bitcoin. i wonder what is the different about invented and created? there was to many story behind bitcoin creating, and many people which claim that he is the real satoshi nakamoto.

And I don't think that he will ever show himself if you will just see the success of bitcoin today. He might be interviewed to an Oprah Winfrey show or Ellen Degeneres show for his success. But bitcoin is not just all about Satoshi Nakamoto, it is all about the whole development team of Satoshi that wants to be hidden and push Satoshi's name for this creation.

      Nobody really knows if there is a man with the name 'Satoshi Nakamoto'. Many people, so do I, believe that there was a group of people with this alias. As I have read Wired and Gizmoto magazines believe that they found that this man is a 44-year old Australian citizen who admits that he is the founder of bitcoin https://www.wired.com/2015/12/bitcoins-creator-satoshi-nakamoto-is-probably-this-unknown-australian-genius/. In my opinion this idea is so innovative and complex where is difficult to believe that was the thought and implementation from a man only.

i do not care who is the actul creayor but all i know is a story which states someone named satoshi nakamoto as the creator so i want to belive that he is my idea man. all i care is his sence of humor and his genious brain.i truly respect a guy like this who really does think like that.

Based on the information available on the internet regarding bitcoin we can say yes to your question regarding the founder of bitcoin. It may also be possible, like some other respected members of this forum suggested that it's a group of people. Now why he didn't come to the public and claimed him to be the founder of bitcoin or blockchain technology, maybe cuz at that time bitcoin didn't have that much value and now if he's alive he might risk his life and cuz of that fear he prefers to stay unknown.

I know million good reasons why Satoshi would wish to stay hidden. Haha nice analogy, but with million bitcoins I wouldn't like to be found also. Now worth of this coins is huge, and in future price can be just higher.
Other then that I don't know, I don't wish to create conspiracy theory's, I'm glad that we can enjoy in all this.
I guess we will never know the real truth. 8 years passed from bitcoin creation and nothing happens on that, creator will stay hidden forever probably.

yes i am also agree with you to me as bitcoin has a anonymous character therefore it is really difficult to find out the real founder of bitcoin, as some people are thinking that satoshi is the real founder of bitcoin but still there are doubts about that as no one every met satoshi and now one really know that from where he is.

I really doubt we will know some day Nakamoto or the group of person hiden behind those name, the thing is he/they made an amazing work, and some people dont believe a single person has created bitcoin, but we do have several genius and briliant minds, i wouldnt be surprised if just one made it, but the thing is i hope he keep hiden till the moment he dies, its better for him and for bitcoin.

Such a long debate :D ! Of course Bitcoin has been created by Satoshi. He hasn't shown in public because his life would be in danger.

If he knew that his life would be in danger, why will he use his real name?! Even though he does not shown in public, someone might trace him by using his name! Therefore, Satoshi Nakamoto is not his real name isn't it?!

It's Jesus,someone told me about this  ;D

founder bitcoin satoshi nakamoto
but only anonymous, not real name

I think it is a very smart move, not coming out into the open, as if he did otherwise, he would be targeted very much and more often. He is already a multi billionaire, he doesnt need to show up in the public to gain any wealth, probably the amount he has will suffice for a very very very long time. Emphasis on very.

Oh, sorry. I thought you said, "who's the flounder of Bitcoin".

my opinion anyway, if he showed identity in public too much of a risk for it all, the people who influence are usually highly sought-crowd ;D ;D ;D
