Would it be awesome if we have a rap battle between Satoshi Nakamoto and Ben Bernanke over whom monentary system is the best?  :D


Receptionist: Welcome to the FEE conference on Austrian Economic.
Bernanke: Tell those Austrian crazies that I have arrived!
Nakamoto: And tell the Austrians that I have come to counter Bernanke and his shenanigans.
Receptionist: (looks to Nakamoto)...who are you?
Nakamoto: I am a cryptography researcher who invented a new kind of money called....BITCOIN!

This is so ridiculous!  I get the impression that Nakamoto is a very quite and reserved person.  I only hope that he knew what he was getting into when he made bitcoin.  Being portrayed as a comic superhero, or rapper, is just part of the job I guess.

Eh? I thought it was a long established tradition to turn economists into rappers?

Step 1: Create world's first cryptographic, pseudonymous, peer-to-peer currency.

Step 2: Be quiet and reserved, while gradually improving the code.

Step 3: As time passes, and the currency grows, respect for you will grow, and people will slowly start to revere you.  Slowly by slowly, people start making fantasies and legends about you.

The End: You are now a comic superhero rapping economist.

4. Win the Nobel Prize for Economics.

5. Visit the Bernanke in his local soup kitchen.

6. Rule 34 :P

It only sounds ridiculous if you haven't seen the awesome reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0nERTFo-Sk

As for Satoshi, I think he was well aware of the revolutionary nature of Bitcoin. I don't think he is shy at all, he just chooses to remain low-profile because he figures that the first thing the media will do when Bitcoin becomes more popular is try to discredit its author, kinda like Wikileaks and Julian Assange. Also there is no need for him to venture outside the technical development and discussion as other people have eagerly taken over the jobs of community building, project development, economic discussion, etc.

That already happened between steps 2 and 3.

You did see Kiba's art thread (http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1929), didn't you?

LOL!!!  I did pay the 2 bitcoins, and I was quite disturbed!!!

Holy shit thats awesome!!!

Might as well write a rap:

This is revised, short introduction.

Receptionist: Welcome to the FEE conference on Austrian Economic.
Bernanke: Tell those Austrian crazies that I have arrived!
Nakamoto: And tell the Austrians that I have the solution
Receptionist: (looks to Nakamoto)...who are you?
Nakamoto: I invented a cryptocurrency called....BITCOIN!

.....on the speaker stage.....

Yeah, we oppose each other, economically
Battle for economic domination.
From the opposite side of the world

Have you been living in a cave or something ;) ?

Apparently....

What we need is a hot Japanese Chick Rapper...

Dear god, when the public finds out that Satoshi is actually a guy....








I will be declared as the master of gender-bending.

HAHA!!!  You have fooled me!  You are playing on our deepest secret desires for super-hot Japanese coder chicks.  I want it to be true, but I know it can't be...

Satoshi probably has a fetish for the mystery we make about him.

Don't assume anything about an individual...that we don't have any information on.

This rap video sounds like a Perfect fit for http://JibJab.com
Does anyone have a photo of Satoshi?

Nobody have a photo of Satoshi. He's a true mystery man.

;)

.

Does he have a forum account? 0_o

Yes, but he uses his real name.   So no one knows which one of us he really is.   He could be me.  Or he could be you.   ;)

But his real name isn't satoshi nakamoto?  o.O

Real name? We don't know.

Some think he's a Westerner of some kind, not a Japanese person.

I think he's Indian.

Either Indian or Thai.

But I can't be completely sure.
