Bitcoin Forum

I know (and can convince myself) that reappearance of Satoshi Nakamoto or disclosure of his identity will be when and exactly when 1 satoshi=1 dollar cent. 

no it won't!
the whole purpose of it was anonymity or possibly also privacy. so no matter how high or how low price goes or no matter what happens you shouldn't expect Satoshi to come forward ever.

Satoshi may spend the coins if some day mass adoption happens and everywhere bitcoin is accepted though.

How would you know? ;D If he wanted to claim his identity he would already have done so, why wait till when a BTC is $1 Mil? :) Who knows? Satoshi may have a million of Bitcoins himself on hold, heheh...

I guess we have to wait 5-10 years then...

 ::) ::) ::) ::)

Considering how volatile fiat is against the Bitcoin, it could happen at any time  ;)

Seriously, there's no reason why this would happen.  Satoshi's intention was clearly to avoid the publicity of being a major figure.  Especially since a decentralised network shouldn't have a definitive leader except for during the early development phase.

You can't expect satoshi to reveal themselves, ever.

Maybe, and if things happen same as that Op has quoted then majority of the users here in the forum were millionaires. Also the possibility is there to some extent, because bitcoin has got limitations in the mining of coins and continuously the adoption is increasing higher and higher. At some point only with the increased value the distribution is possible. Let's hope this happens.

you do realize that Satoshi didn't name 0.00000001 as 1 satoshi and the community did right ?

I dubt at this, he wanted to stay anonymous. He didn't wanted to be recognized in the crypto world as a creator. He wanted bitcoin to be decetralized without that we ask him for everything. He might be living on some island now or in his home like always. Perhaps he didn't stashed that a lot of bitcoins to be able to be like  a millionre till now. Maybe he is dead who knows....

These Satoshies posts never get old.

I don't see Satoshi coming out because of that. Its a great feat but that would mean 1bitcoin would worth as much as a million dollar which is far from reality. Even if that should happen, I still don't see Satoshi coming out but maybe those who wants to make us believe they are the ones behind it though. As at today, the price of bitcoin has witnessed a lot of improvement for some to come out compared to its price in the last 8 years but yet he didn't and I don't see that even happening.

apparently it wasn't as "natural" as you may think. the first suggestion was actually to use 0.01BTC as Satoshi ;D
and also apparently 0.01BTC was the smallest unit that the interface showed

Why resurrection? is he/she dead? :) He dont need to reveal himself/herself. let him/her enjoy the fruit of his/her technological invention.

Supply is really limited and i see it wouldnt be sufficient enough to circulate on the whole society that is why its nearly impossible for it to be considered as global or main currency and i cant see such thing why would Satoshi would come out if the price of bitcoin would come into that state. No matter how big it is Satoshi would really decide to hide itself on eyes of public.

just to clarify "the depth" for numbers or the decimal places have always been 8 meaning 0.00000001 has always been valid.
what i said about 0.01BTC was just an interface thing meaning what the wallet GUI showed.
otherwise the code has always been the same. it actually is not in decimals it is a big integer which is then translated to bitcoin with decimal places and shown in the GUI.

If Satoshi predicted price of 1 BTC, he was brilliant. If I could be at his place, I would kept a large stock of BTC. Now he could be the richest man in the world. Satoshi Nakamoto may never reveal the price even Satoshi equals the dollar cent.

I agree Satoshi will not bother to come out of the public and ruin his safe and silent life right and and if I were Satoshi I would really do the same thing he did and I think this is the assurance that we would spend his quality time with his family and he is rich right now so why bother show himself to the public I think it would just ruin his peaceful life if his out and the world known his identity,

and also I really think Satoshi is not his real name and I think they really work in group and not just only one person.

When 1 satoshi will be worth 1 cent, one bitcoin will be worth one million of dollars. If we rich such prices, that will be solely because there was a very high inflations in U.S. dollar, because that would be a marketcap of 16 000 billions, as big as the U.S. debt if I am not mistaken.

But sure if this happens, that will resurracte Satoshi Nakamoto and Lenin to crush capitalism !

hardcore cypherpunks take their real identify to the grave ...  8)

if we assume price will reach that high and if we assume all the speculation about satoshi's stash size of 1 million is correct then he will own $100,000,000,000,000 (i don't even know the English word for that number, is it trillion!)

do you think someone with that much money suddenly comes out and puts a "come attack me here" sign up for the world publicly to attack him? 8)

We all do not have any information about Nakamoto Satoshi, it's just a name, which is dubbed the "founder of bitcoin". I'm curious, is he a real person? There are so many mysteries from this man.

This is certainly a nickname. Well, it does not have to be a man. Maybe a woman or a group of people. I read about the Bitcoin creation theory that was supposed to destroy the USD. Conspiracy theory lovers claim that this is a way to monitor all your income and expenses in the world. We probably never know the truth.

Bitcoin is not meant to destroy anything,it is meant to have sovereignty and freedom for the asset you hold,it is not meant to monitor your income and assets and it cannot do so unless you use a single wallet address and it is know to the whole world that you are the owner of the known address,so that myth is debunked for you. :P
@OP if anyone has to prove that he is the rightful man behind the alias satoshi he has to prove to the whole world by signing the wallet he used in the genesis block,other than that no one is going to believe anyone.

I know that in the former USSR was such a math genius Mavrodi who has already conducted a similar experiment. He created a pyramid MMM. Bitcoin is very similar to it only on a global scale. Maybe Satoshi Nakamoto is an alias.

As I mentioned, this is just a theory. I wish BTC  was the official currency. Satoshi Nakamoto is one of the biggest secrets of the internet at the moment. There is a good chance that truth it will go away with the death of a true BTC creator. We will not know out if a single person, group or government is behind the pseudonym.

Highly unlikely. A major factor of Bitcoin is anonymity. It wouldn't make sense for him to reveal his identity.

I wonder if Bitcoin will actually rise above the $1,000,000 that people are saying and actually become $10,000,000+?

Please name a few of hardcore cypherpunks, please. We don't even know if Satoshi was one of them or this is simply a cryptonym for some elaborate research program.

We are unable to predict that. Only time will tell.
When something like this happens in the future. It will be either in really long distant future or the time when the dollar will crash and will be replaced by new kind of global reserve currency.
I doubt it will happen within next 30 years though. The USA is still strong. They have the measures to prevent this from happening.

BTC is an independent currency. True, USA has plenty the measures but is it enough to control the BTC?

Satoshi Nakamoto is not a real person guys. When will you understand this and stop spreading rumors about a person who does not even exist?

That's the wisdom of Satoshi Nakamoto. He is still not appear but his idea will apear soon. but be careful there is another " Satoshi Nakamoto" . He wants to control bitcoin. He patents all blockchain related and ledger and now worth Million dollars. Satoshi Nakamoto VS " Satoshi Nakamoto"
Andrew O’Hagan, who seems to have bought-in on chronicling Wright as ‘Satoshi Nakamoto,’ says that Wright may make more patent filings than that, and may be in line for a return of in excess of $1 billion USD source : https://cointelegraph.com/news/discredited-craig-wright-working-on-building-a-bitcoin-blockchain-empire (https://cointelegraph.com/news/discredited-craig-wright-working-on-building-a-bitcoin-blockchain-empire)

new to mw that you could file a patent for something that has been public before

is he some sort of crypto 'dramatis personae' like Alice, Bob, Carol, Oscar ?

I found this guy on twitter: https://twitter.com/RealCraigWright
He claims to be Satoshi Nakamoto.

https://i.imgur.com/Hn17y4N.jpg

He also claims to have created Ethereum and Dogecoin such Altcoins that had so much attention to the public, and he just gave a post that he have been giving proof to his mom that he is really satoshi!

well I think everybody can say that he or she is Satoshi Nakamoto not to just get attention but to have the peoples attention towards him and the Nakamoto dead issues died, or he may claim it to be popular but we can really never know for sure what is his plan in giving such claims, and I really think there is not much believing him anyway!

Do you think Craig Wright can be Satoshi Nakamoto? About Craig I have heard many theories ...

So far no one has been able to reveal Satoshi Nakamoto's identity, and information about him is still vague, there are some who claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto but none of this has been proved true, so far we still benefit from Satoshi Nakamoto's creation and still use for transactions , Investment or trade

Some hints are here...

Satoshi Nakamoto would not appear and let himself be known in public due to security reasons. I believe that Satoshi Nakamoto has a large stash of bitcoin and is enjoying the profits he made everyday. He would not waste his time appearing in the public that can possibly shake the whole industry and it will go against his idea of decentralization. Though there are many who claims to be satoshi I can say that they are all fake since they only appeared when bitcoin is already high in value. The self-proclaimed Satoshi Nakamoto have claimed they are Nakamoto so they can control bitcoin and its value. For me there is no chance that bitcoin will be appearing in the open in the public.

Satoshi was never a person, satoshi was a group of developers who created this coin. Think about it.

You have a very fertile imagination so to speak bro. That's good.  ;) Who knows, right? Satoshi Nakamoto might end up tired of hiding behind his/her/their pseudonym and end up divulging his/her/their identitie/s. But I seriously doubt it happens. Well, Einstein said imagination is more important than knowledge.  ;)

Why does he want to hide himself? He is a very talented person and he is respected by all. This really made me feel curious.

Because it is not necessary for bitcoin and its better to be hidden rather than to reveal himself/themselves and gain fame. fame is not always a positive thing sometimes it brings

unwanted situations. Have you read the article about newsweek? they victimized a certain old man  because they said that he was the founder of bitcoin. things are not entirely

positive for bitcoin now, governments, media, and the higher ups are watching it. And oh!! We still don't know if satoshi was a single person or a group  :o

You can't possibly know why. Only he/they know(s).
Every assumption as to why he hasn't/won't reveal himself is speculation and cannot be confirmed unless he/they reveal(s) it.

Maybe this is an exception? Maybe it's a way to get a fortune? Create something, keep a large part, wait until it reaches a big price and sell all. Very simple. Truth?

It'll never happen. The moment Satoshi shows himself on here, the price will crash. Fears of him selling off his stash will spread through the community.

I think the identity of Nakamoto is really a plan of whoever invented it. The more it become mysterious the more mouth will be open to talk about this. Pseudonym makes him/her/them popular. I think wether he/she/they show up or hide it will all be the same because bitcoin established itself to the market so it didn't have some impact in the price.

Its a little bit pathetic. If ever that 1 sat would equals to 1 dollar, satoshi nakamoto would be more convinced that his decision of hiding was the right decision

Oh my god. Another one of these conspiracies.

How many time do I have to say that Satoshi Nakamoto left Bitcoin behind in the hand of early developers for a reason. Perhaps it was privacy, anonymity... who know?

But one does not simply fashion a new currency and philosophy of economics itself and walk away without a reason. He obviously, want us to forget about him and work on improving Bitcoin.

Moreover, Satoshi would have noticed the recent success of Bitcoin. Why would he wait until Bitcoin is worth so much just to reappear. I mean he has gone away for nearly a decade and witnessed the progression of his crypto currency, but has still never made an appearance. I don't picture Satoshi ever coming back. I just focus on his creation, Bitcoin, and try to make him proud.

We don't even know whether he is still alive or not.Every bitcoin enthusiast would love to see him.But for that,the security of his life should not be compromised.I thinks he feels comfortable in hiding his identity and if so,then he would never reveal his identity.

It's all speculation and even tough i would love to see him or know who he is I still think he's better off staying anonymous due to the risk of his own life should he disclose his identity. Im hopeful that nothing can make him change his mind and reveal his identity.

Every user of bitcoin has the willingness to see him. This is just because of the marvelous innovation that he has made, which can be used in all sectors based on the varying requirement. In reality such resurrection is never gonna happen and someone with fake identity might disclose himself to be Satoshi Nakamota.

If money was the motivator behind Satoshi, then he would have touched some of his coins already. Satoshi in my opinion have no financial needs and might have sold a bunch of coins that we do not even know about. { coins that are not watched } He might even have been more successful with something else and has done this as a side project or just an experiment to see if it can be done.

I think he moved onto something bigger and was not looking for conflict and limelight, like some other people we know. {C W}  ^hmmmmmm^

I don't understand why a person of Satoshi Nakamoto awakes so many discussions on the forum. I doubt that something will be changed concretely if we will know who Satoshi really is. Satay this topic on peace, I pray you!

I think Satoshi Nakamoto either died or lost his private keys, I also don't get why people are obsessed with him. I understand its a fun mystery to speculate on but if he was really interested in further involvement in bitcoin he would have continued developping new code for it. I think he probably didn't think it would amount to more than just a project and forgot about his private keys.

Why? It won't ever happen the whole purpose of his exit was to safeguard Bitcoin, he did not want to overshadowed his identity so that bitcoin could live forever, why can't you op respect it, his profile is yet there on this forum the day he chooses to be back it will show a fresh date which sadly has never happened since so many years. Instead of hoping for his return, it's time to unite for him and save his child (Bitcoin).

Exactly, I think his presence now wouldn't make much of a difference and he might end up being the target of several powers that wouldn't want him to live so he's better remaining anonymous than disclosing his identity.

The anonymous image of Satoshi Nakamoto is just for his privacy because that will make him free for the crowd attention because we all know that the bitcoin is decentralized so that person will be in big trouble and legalities problem if the government will know his identity.

Usually new comers are very interested on how the bitcoin created and its  founder then when they search theyll realized how satoshi vanished without valid reason. Other cases would be they  just want something to talked about when they cant find something else
