Bitcoin Forum

If Satoshi Nakamoto is a person and alive, wont he come out and claim the fame and success his invention has achieve so far?

many people say that satoshi nakamoto is one person, but not least mention that it is not single person but is a certain group. In my opinion, satoshi nakamoto is the one person who creates a brilliant idea about bitcoin and about he will not come out to claim fame because it's better still a mystery and anonymous.

They must have been a person, or I guess an alien must have invented Bitcoins from some other Galaxy and sent it to our World as a gift, ehh!? /sarcasm
Apparently, Satoshi IS A PERSONALITY who was behind the success of Bitcoins, and I believe he still is! :)

No, because they must be thinking of their own concept of anonymity before taking a step further to disclose themselves in front of the world. Don't you think you would have remained behind the scenes and supported your invention if you were Satoshi? Won't there be a fear of any life-threatening situations that may arise after their exposure? Think why people are supporting Bitcoins? Because they are all able to manage their money being their own bank and that too, without coming in front and doing it "pseudo"-anonymously. There's nothing wrong if they are trying to hide themselves from the general public as they are SPECIAL.  ;)

It is too risky if he or they would reveal their identity, bitcoin is hated by the government of some countries. Some people do not like bitcoin, there are possible danger if he or they will reveal the true identity of satoshi nakamoto.

Would you do it if you were him? It wouldn't be very smart.
The world is not only a happy place where your mom is baking a pie in the kitchen while you're playing games in the Internet. There are government agencies, crazy people, serial killers and rapists, contract killers, gangs, hackers and more. If he showed himself now, his life would turn to hell. He'd have to hire bodyguards and run to live in the jungle to avoid paparazzis and people who want to rob him.

Adding to the fact that there is risk in revealing his identity, most people don't enjoy fame. He would only be making his life much harder.

Satoshi nakamoto is a hood name of the creator of bitcoin and whoever he is even until now definitely alive and maybe one of developers of new digital currencies today.
Nobody knows who exactly this person is but it is one of the many good and effective reasons why there are too many investors in Bitcoin. People were feeling safe when in fact that nobody is controlling Bitcoin network.

There has been several threads along this kind of topic.
One of them was discussing possibility that its a made up name for who leaked the technology which was originally made by USA government agency for military use.

In my opinion he is not one person, but group of people or possibly even CIA but not for military usage.

we heard the name of Satoshi Nakamoto who invented Bitcoin..& satoshi is named after him...but we don't if it is a person or group member name...if he is alive, he would already claim his success

There are a lot of theories about this name, a lot of people think that Satoshi Nakamoto is just a person but some other people think Satoshi Nakamoto is a group with many members and in my opinion Satoshi Nakamoto is a group cause it's not easy for a person can do this incredible think. Beside I think this group still alive and work but they are trying to hide their identity cause if someone know who are they it'll become very dangerous for them and Bitcoin also.

Do we really need yet another Satoshi thread?  Use the search function.  Read those topics instead of rehashing the same old crap over and over again.  I'm almost tempted to ask if the mods can make it a rule, assuming rule #3 doesn't cover it already:

 
6. No new Satoshi threads.  No exceptions.


Also, Satoshi went back to their home planet, not far from all the Rock and Pop Gods (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1692061.msg16988298#msg16988298).  It's as good an explanation as any.

Whoever is behind the name is alive and kicking and actively nurturing his/her/their creation BTC.. 
Some mysteries are better as mysteries, I think this one qualifies in that context..

Hello author! Hello all! I think this is an illusion and fake but it general no matter who is the creator? What is change for us? No matter the brand or official name. We just can know what allowed to know) Who is Nakomoto? Where is the proof - of - creating? Nobody see him...it's just a legend!
Maybe it's russian hackers?
Maybe Satoshi is hikikomori and living under bridge and eat cats and dogs)

I guess he is but not showing up it's because of the fame that he gets from bitcoin. There are successful people who don't want to be recognized at all because they're afraid to be threatened. Bitcoin is a big thing to work on and maybe Satoshi doesn't want any issue becauss people will ask many information about him or an interview. With that, he escapes from medias just to avoid publicity and so on. If he is still really alibe,I will thank him for everything that he have done with bitcoin. It is too precious for me to part of crypto world.

Apparently, we no longer know whether Satoshi Nakamoto actually existed, for what reason he wished to remain anonymous and whether he is alive at the time. Judging by his actions, he deliberately concealed his identity, which means that he is unlikely to appear in public. And the time has passed since January 2009, when the first Bitcoin was created, long enough to stir all this up.

Many theories, from Michael Clear to Hal Finney died in 2014 have been told.
The mystery is that the bitcoins of the first blocks have not been moved for years.

Who is that person?

yes i think he is alive, and probably he is also visiting this forum from time to time so try to be nice to others because maybe if he will like you'll wake up with few bitcoins in your wallet;)

i didn't get notice if he/she alive...also i dont know who is he/she ..group? a man? a woman? but, it could be you and anyones on this forum. so just enjoy, and many thanks to the community  8)

Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto.

eveyrbody are nothing information about the creator of bitcoin mr. nakamoto satoshi he the famous person but he not front in any interviews, saotshi nakamoto decide himself being anonymous to secured of his indentity.

Some hearsy told that Satoshi is still alive and hiding himself in a private island with beautiful girls at lots of delicious foods. If were Satoshi I would not bother myself to go in public, to face legal accusations and death threats. All I can I say now is Thank you mr. Satoshi.

If you invented something that is now worth almost $100Bn, and lets's say you own at least 1% of it.
Why are you going to risk your life by claiming that you developed it. Something that came from nothing
with a value that keeps on raising every time. And with a possibility to over come the traditional currency.

Bitcoin was created with a feature of anonymity maybe the creator wants to keep his identity. Satoshi Nakamoto
can be anyone. He can still be in this forum, he can be a politician now, he can any person doing anything. And we
will never know who he is because he designed this bitcoin anonymously.

I will for sure appear and claim all the glory which my invention has produce. If he die, no one knows he did that .

How true this is the photo of Satoshi Nakamoto. This man has been in several social media meme for quite now. It wont be bad if it is him either. But I intend to run a thread to search for Satoshi Nakamoto. Hope I find him.

I believe that Satoshi Nakamoto has a higher probability that he is only ONE person, since if it is a group, there is a much higher probability of this information being leaked.
Also there are theories that Hal Finney IS Satoshi Nakamoto.....with Satoshi's disappearance coincident with Hal Finney's pass away.

That is what most people believe and i think it is  a fair assumption .I mean who wouldn't have touch all those bitcoin by now any human live would have by now .Just curious did anybody go through is old computer trying to get excess to then

I don't know if Satoshi Nakamoto is alive or dead, and I don't eally care about knowing such info. The most important fact is that Bitcoin itself is alive and keep growing fastly with time. Satoshi is just the creator and I think its not important to know about him

I guess he is still alive and enjoying the fruit of success. Why come out when you are already famous even without your presence.

Well.....it IS kind of important considering he made one of the largest invention in CENTURIES.
Bitcoin is just a start. look at all the new altcoins and their advanced technologies.
If Satoshi is alive, I would hope he could work on new Blockchain technology!

Not all people are the same fame greedy as you think. Just imagine what wave of attention will crash on Satoshi's head after he will uncover himself. It is obviously that he doesn't want this.
Actually I am a supporter of the idea that under the name of Satoshi Nakomoto are hiding a group of people, Bitcoin's creators. This seems to me more truly than any other theory.

I do not think that there is any clue through which we can say anything about satoshi nakamoto. Even though it can also be a reality that he is a single person and is a live, but it can also be possible that it is name of a group where they work as a team. i think it is a misty and as soon as it will  remain as misty. there will be more value for that.

My hope is that Satoshi Nakamoto is alive and silently watching what is happening with Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. It may be doubtful whether he or they will ever use his or their Bitcoin holdings though. (It'd be cool if he or they have a plan for what will happen to Satoshi Nakomoto's bitcoin holdings if government agencies ever catch up with him or them though.)

so far only rumors have evolved. I do not know satoshi nakamoto exists or not. but that's how the story grew to this day.

His anonymity was extremely essential and needed. Bitcoin is decentralized and with him being anonymous makes it more strong. If he did show up some people might feel that he is the owner of bitcoin network. And since he would be the leader, he would have faced a lot of pressure. He would have been forced to change protocols of bitcoins by the regulators so they could easily regulate bitcoin.

 whether he is alive or not its irrelevant. what matters is that he gave us one of the most revolutionary technologies in modern times and we should celebrate that regardless. also the fact that he/she/they wanted to remain anonymous sums it up all

I am Moses ! BitcoinMoses.

Satoshi Nakamoto never meant to reveal his identity but as something went wrong with the bloody bitcoin, he is now planning to correct the problem and in order to correct the problem he may have to reveal his identity. Satoshi Nakamoto is watching every movements of the bloody bitcoin community and the greedy Cypherpunks and government's sponsored agents. He is not afraid of any governments or any mafias or any bloody bitcoin community leaders. He has purchased a secret security machine for his personal security and may be he will use it of offensively to defend himself now. You all will witness the 'Wrath of Satoshi' soon,  in a blockbuster movie called 'Bitcoin Sumo'. Princess Sushi and Princess T'ortilla are the two main female characters in the full Bitcoin feature film. Tom Cruise and Shah Rukh Khan from Hollywood and Bollywood are the main characters. One is real Satoshi Nakamoto and the other is the impostor of the inventor of Bitcoin and Blockchain technology. The film is coming soon based on true history rather story of Bitcoin invention and Satoshi Nakamoto.

I do not understand why you have to separate the firstname to the surname.  Anyways, for sure Mr. Satoshi is still alive and he is having the best of his life.  For sure he is having a good time with his bitcoins and earnings.  In case that it is not his real name and that he is not a Japanese, then maybe he is just one of the westerners that have been contributed and make a big change in the world along with Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Mark of Facebook ;).

How it's possible to mention as Mr and he? What if Nakamoto is a woman or they are group? We will never be sure who Nakamoto is unless someone proves the ownership of Genesis Block's signature...

I think that this person does not exist. Behind this pseudonym hides a team of people who are probably connected with special services of some countries. No one knows the true motives of creating bitcoins. The collapse of the existing financial system can have very large consequences. Maybe bitcoin is a big bubble.

I think he won't do it. Just think, he got about 1 million bitcoins. The current rate is about 5 billion dollars and he has not sold a single bitcoin. I think he just made the world a better and more he did not need.

I still do not know who you are (Satoshi Nakamoto)

I think it's a great achievement to stay so secret

there are so many people who want to have this reputation and I hope that is a real person and watching us.

it could be that way because without his fate of the bitcoiner later so we have to appreciate the sacrifice with full sincerity and always give the spirit in order to continue working and make innovation creative the future.

You would do that if you were him? I would personally not because Bitcoin is a powerful thing. A powerful technology. Bitcoin is watched by the governments,by the hackers, by all the people. If Satoshi would reveal all the attention would be on him. The reporters are going to ask him all kind of stuffs, some people will hate him....
It is better for all to remain a mystery

its not secure to express themselves infront of world.Bitcoon is banned by many countries and ofcourse government will try to give them punishment if they can identify them.I think for the security reason, they hide their information and remain  untouched.

we don't know for sure whether Satoshi Nakamoto ever actually existed, it this one name is actually a group or anything else. but Satoshi Nakamoto remains immortal for Bitcoin. here are a bunch of Satoshi Nakamoto news and rumors, you might like reading https://www.bitcoinmarketinsider.com/?s=Nakamoto

we don't actually know who is or who are satoshi nakamoto, what we know is he/ them contributed alot for our future. Satoahi has every right not to reveal his identity and lets just leave it as it is.

I think he's alive. Only he will never show his face, he is not so badly alive))

Satoshi Nakamoto is alive and her is an information about it

Nobody really knows if he is. Or if he is just one person, or if satoshi nakamoto is the real inventor or just a anonymous name.

he is a systems engineer, his name is Dorian Nakamoto, the man who first suspected he was the creator of Bitcoin was a journalist named Leah McGrath Goodman. he related Dorian's background to a physicist with cryptographic abilities. the journalist forced Dorian for interview, even he had to camp in front of his house and inevitably Dorian had to deal with him but that ended in misunderstanding, Dorian himself wrote a post on Reddit entitled "Ask Me Anything" to clarify the news.

but in my opinion with that background, he is still the strong candidate as the creator of Bitcoin, although in a P2P forum there is a user with username SatoshiNakamoto said, that he is not Dorian Nakamoto and Dorian had clarified himself in Reddit but still he can do that to cover the truth.

Satoshi Nakamoto, the inventor of bitcoin, likely wants to remain anonymous because he is ideologically-driven. Possibly he is anonymous to preserve himself and his life, since he has disrupted so many industries and threatens to undermine centralized power and control.

I don't think satoshi is still alive, even if he is alive he will never come out and claim that he is the real guy behind bitcoin. FBI might take him down within few hour and might interrogate him for many years till they can find way to shut whole bitcoin network down (which sound quite impossible). 

Many government are actually searching for him, they will not reward him for sure. Government and big banks are completely against bitcoin...

lol I thought that was a dummy name used from a person. it wasn't a real name as for as I think. See how wonderful asset he created, and an anonymous one. Then why on earth he wont hide him under an anonymous name, it was definitely a fake name used by the legend. Otherwise he could have been hanged by haters. Long live satoshi.

I think satoshi is the name of a team

The idea that Satoshi is fine and is now completely uninterested in Bitcoin is laughable. I believe it was a team that came together to create it and then dispersed. I've no idea who they were or whether they were backed by someone with a higher purpose.

I have on good authority, that Satashi Nakamoto is alive and well, living in the NSA.

He will make his next most auspicious appearance when the quantum computing hacks attack the bitcoin algorithms.... 8)

I don't care if Staoshi Nakamoto is alive or dead, and it is not really changing anything about Bitcoin if he is alive or not. Bitcoin is already decentralized and even Satoshi cant control it actually, and its created crypto currency is going viral fastly and that's the most important .

If he's alive I think he's doing a great job at hiding. He knew what he created and the dangers he could be in if he came out in the open.

Until now the truth behind the name "Satoshi Nakomoto" is not revealed. There are many such news that satoshi is a person or a group but in reality we don't know the truth. According to me, satoshi nakomoto was a name of a group of 6 programmers who programmed bitcoins. They programmed bitcoins as a anonymous currency which would be used in most of the illegal sites as a mean of payment.

Later the benefits came upfront and most of the peoples started using bitcoins. I don't think the inventor of bitcoin would come front to reveal his identity for the flame as he would have already made millions of bitcoins and would be a richest person who would not even bother to take all the flame.

Maybe he has changed his name, his residency just to hide from the prying eyes of the public. If he is still alive today, I think he is just smiling because his inventions has truly revolutionize the world over. Now, the banking system is threaten with his invention as evident from all the attacks we have been seeing lately specially from Jamie Dimon. He has really doing a great job because media and crypto enthusiast has been trying to find him for the last years or so, all of them failed. Other's claimed to be Satoshi, but it was never proven. We all know that he hides because he fears for his life.

I am sure even if he died (which eventualy every one dies sooner or later), his name will remain alive for the rest of the world.  ;D

None person would move back from the fame he gets. I don't think satoshi nakomoto is a live person but instead a name used behind a group. Bitcoins were programmed by a group of 6 programmers and at first bitcoin was just known as a anonymous currency. Even if satoshi nakomoto was a person then until now he would have been came in front of us revealing his identity and even he would have been the richest person in the globe.

The price for bitcoins is too high now and if he exists then easily he can generate a good number of bitcoins and can live like a king. But i don't think the group now has control over bitcoins because if they were able to control bitcoins, they would have been came forward.

If he's really alive I think he's staying somewhere in a dreamlike island like Hawaii  ;D ;D ;D ;D I recently saw him listed as one of the richest people in the world with owning a large number of bitcoins.

He could claim it but i don't think he will ever do it. Some people (e.g Banks) may target/kill him if he would show up because blockchain will surely ruin the current banking system

May he still live and enjoy the results of him work that has changed the world and we can be like this. we must say thanks to mr. nakamoto.

I don't think this is the case. There's a chance that he can be identified if he uses his bitcoins

He will not come out in the open for a reason he can’t compromise his bitcoin holding and he might be a target for criminal acts and his family. To have million of bitcoin in hand won’t give you any freedom to claim the fame and it might also be the chance of the government to tax everything you have.

 There is more damaging things when he come out than advantages of hiding.

who ever is satoshi nakamoto its a big thanks to him bitcoin will not exist if he did't make it so its really awesome that this industry had transformed the society into a new level of digitalization.

in bitcoin we trust
thank you satoshi nakamoto i wish you are alive and kicking

nobody know but he did created bitcoin back in 2008-2009 and we also don't know if satoshi is a fictitious person or a real guy walking in this earth along with us, but its thanks to him that bitcoin had been made and providing people profits because of this we are progressing in technological advancement that everything or every industry had a potential to be on the next level when they've entered blockchain technology

He is /They are human. Apparently no one knows who he is/ they are so no one knows if he is/they are still alive.

if satoshi nakamoto is still alive he will obviously be the richest man in the world, the creator of the coin certainly has a lot of savings. and if he was alive, satoshi would not come out and show himself, because he would be asked about his initiative to make bitcoin.

Satoshi Nakamoto, a pseudonym, cannot even be guaranteed to be a single person.

The 'person' behind the blockchain technology may a group, you know. It is a very complicated algorithm and 'he' must be quite a legend to have developed it by himself.

I personally, think that Satoshi Nakamoto is a group of IT experts. I think some of them are still on the development team of Bitcoin along with Wladimir. He could even be Satoshi who just pretended to have let go of it to go public without being hotseated. But that's just a theory, an opinion if you may.

It seems to me that Satoshi Nakamoto is not one person. Behind this pseudonym hides a big organization, maybe even some kind of Masonic club. They hired programmers and decided to take control of the entire financial system of the world. I'm not a supporter of conspiracy theories but why it can't be.

He is hiding somewhere , and dont want to reveal his true identity.  I dont know i  dont have any idea if satoshi is the name of the creator of bitcoin ,or an alias by group of i.t professionals  but bitcoin invention has made a huge impact in our economy today, 

satoshi nakamoto is a pseudonym, in my opinion.

if he is alive, he would already claim his success.

Either way, whether he or "they" still alive or not,  changed the world with the creation of the blockchain and a currency hat every one of us can use, without the regulation of a government or bank.

If you do able to get along with the trend and all news about on those people who do claim that they are satoshi then you would really able to tell that those are just fakes but who knows if one of them is satoshi but yet this kind of thing is impossible to happen.He wont disclose himself into the public for sure. Just like his own creation he do decide to hide himself into the shadows and just seeing on his creation that took progress and innovation which do really beneficial to human kind.

Personaly i realy dont have an idea too not only me but all of us dont have an idea if satoshi nakamoto who realy is some people think that satoshi is not the real name of the ceator of bitcoin he is just like at code that he is they only one who knows about it

Is Satoshi Nakamoto Alive: now its does matter..he already did his job and the work is already in progress...thanks to him for great thing to start

I think that Satoshi Nakamoto is still a fictional character who hides under his name a group of professionals who have developed the bitcoin system. And having good reasons to hide your real name. The reason may be in the idea of decentralization, so that bitcoin does not depend on anyone. Or the guys are waiting for a moment to blow up the world by their appearance on the world financial scene.

Still We don't know who he is (and he might not even be real).
There have been several attempts to verify the identity but all we have are theories ranging from engineers, researchers and political figures to possibly a group of people.

I've heard from newspapers in Japan that Mr. Satoshi Nakamoto is dead, right or wrong I do not know for sure, but with the presence of bitcoin then we should be grateful for the greatest discovery in this century.

I think Satoshi Nakamoto, whether that be a person or a group we still don't know, is still out there for sure. I think they might even be holding their bitcoins to give to people, or they're forever lost to make BTC more scarce.

No one can be sure it's one person or group of communities that we know about what they've been doing all along. :)

I would like to thank: Satoshi Nakamoto, your great name who created Bitcoin would not exist if he did not make it so amazing that the industry has turned society into a new level of Digitization.

Thank you Satoshi Nakamoto I hope you stay in Maya World

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoboO6QPGow
And what about that guy?
Maybe he went to that interview just to say that it is not him but its him actually?

I watched a documentary about Bitcoin and Satoshi Nakamoto is not actually identified by anyone. Someone was arrested named Satoshi Nakamoto but he said, and proven also, that he has nothing to do with Bitcoin. In the documentary, the Satoshi Nakamoto was said to be a group of person. He started Bitcoin but gathered people to support and helped it develop. After sometime he stopped answering and maybe, as said in the documentary, he just changed name and became groups of person.

maybe satoshi nakamoto will not show himself because he was happy to be able to succeed bitcoin

For example I discovered bitcoin, I will not show myself and tell that I discovered bitcoin because it will make my life risky and I can't make a life that I want too. Its the same with the creator of bitcoin. He/She or They will now show his/her or their true identity because they don't want to risk their life. Bitcoin is very popular nowadays and with its high price and if the creator shows in public, many people will go and try to do something bad.

Do you think Satoshi Nakamoto would still be able live the founder of Bitcoins if he introduced himself? Surely he will not be resurrected if he introduces him and if he does not kill he will definitely use him and his invention to control and manipulate the price of Bitcoins. I'm sure that these two answers will happen to Satoshi Nakamoto.

We apparently cannot have an idea as long as he has decided to stay anonymous which seems pretty normal to me cause he would have been on a lot pressure by now if he had not. You can just create an idea of what satoshi looks like in your head and just stick with that  ;) but I have always believed it is a group of people who decided to use the name and you may never know, this might be one of their alts.  :)

Yes i thinks satoshi nakamoto  is alive but he always low his profile in order to cover up his status  and all his assets.we already know that satoshi nakamoto is the father of all bitcoin and have an  asset of  worth $1million btc,but this name is like a codename of one people that  like a mystery that no one know it.

I think he perhaps is even involved in BTC yet, maybe one of the members of core team in secret. But who does really now? Good thing is Bitcoin goes on without him.

Its still an unanswered question.He may be alive.But since by creating bitcoin,he has challenged the governments and financial institutions including banks which have well established themselves for over centuries,his life is in serious threat.

For this reason only,he has not reveled his identity and definitely,its a wise move by him.He may not even reveal his identity in future too.But if he moves his bitcoins,then clearly it would be a message that he is still alive.

That's very hard to say or determine, because no one has heard from the creator over a long period of time, I think he's or perhaps the group is acting behind the scene so as to ensure that the market is free of manipulation and its 100% free of manipulation. If Satoshi shows up today, he would be taken as the messiah of bitcoin and let's say one  day he says he's withdrawing 100 BTC from his wallet, that would force people to also withdraw thinking the market might crash, meanwhile it might not.

I think that all the same behind the personality of Satoshi Nakamoto is hidden several people, highly professional minds. And the fact that they hide only increases the power of bitcoin, it allows him to be not just not tied to any country, but not even attached to any person. This is genius.

If i were him i will definitely not come out. I wouldn't care about the fame and all. My life is more valuable. The world is such a shitty olace where people will do so much just to maintain their status. Greed is the main reason. Just like great inventors who invented great things that posted as a threat to big businesses. They were all threatened while others were killed.  If he comes out, he will surely die. Judging by how much the governments and banks hate bitcoins. I don't think satoshi will be able to celebrate his fame for long.

Satoshi is hidden several people as you said because he is totally annoymous when bitcoin reach to the sky and take over on local currency he might appear and say that he is Satoshi because now a days many governments are against him but he is doing right thing for humanity while government is not doing these things.

i hope he's still alive and i can meet him in person so i can take him personally !! fro bringing bitcoin in humanity and heelp rthe less fortunate to gain a better salary

If he hasn't come out already then he won't come out at all. I personally believe its one person, not many like others are saying. I really do hope hes still alive and does come to light but its highly doubtful and only time will tell.

I don't know if he's alive, but I hope so. It is also very much hope he's all right.

He is not one person! I think his name is a project name and there is big forces behind his name.

Why would he do that? If he is alive, and since he has a huge amount of bitcoins, that he got from the genesis block, then it's better that no one knows his identity. He would get attention from all types of people and institutions. I mean who knows? Criminals might want to kidnap him because of his bitcoin, FBI, CIA would be all over him as well, he would have no chances of getting a normal life.

we dont know ... if he is alive or if his alive why he not show him self to the world ?

Its too dangerous to reveal himself because he hold some bitcoin

I bet Satoshi or bunch of people who done it are/is still alive. But is the fame and public success are appreciated by anyone? I guess there are some people on the Earth who do not want to be revealed by now and Satoshi is a one of them

ahhh im thinking how much bitcoin he have now then how they keep it safe

this man was Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto, he was suspected of developing the crypto currency protocol bitcoin, but as it turned out it was a man with a similar name and surname.

Well, I am not sure if this person still alive or not. I believe that most people are only guesting about his/her existence right now. If he's still alive, then maybe he/she might now trying to spread good news about bitcoin to let the whole nations' legally accept it. And if this person still exist right now he/ she might be continue to improve bitcoin strategies to make it more grows. And he/she does not exist by this time, well, I am sure that he/she lend it  to his/her very entrusted person/s.

Is Craig Wright really Satoshi Nakamoto, the anonymous creator of bitcoin? Or is he really Japanese? ::)

Is Satoshi Nakamoto is an a living human or nope.But i heard about him.He is the unknown person who designed the bitcoin and created its original reference implementation.Nakamoto has claimed to a be a man living in Japan.Nakamoto speculation about true identity has mostly focused on the number of crptography and computer science.

In my opinion noone really knows who Satoshi Nakamoto really is unless you are one of the bitcoins early project developer or team mate . And we wont even know who he really was we dont know if he is a boy or a girl. Or maybe Saatoshi nakamoto is a pseudonym used by a techie man/woman who created bitcoin.

Yes, bitcoin is so popular and satoshi nakamoto is popular too and known to be rich because of btc, when he reveal his true dentity it is very dangerous for him and his family. A lot of people know the value of btc,  so better keep it that way.

If the real creator of bitcoin or satoshi nakamoto is being on live television or known his identity on the live tv maybe he will be targeted by the people who's behind finance or banks because he make banks worthless in the near future . Because using bitcoin or other crypto doesn't need any third party or mediator using it.

BACK TO BITCOIN COMMUNITY.

I believe he is. But I also believe that he is into hiding because of some political issues which may be life threatening. I mean, why should I go public and allow myself to be a target for  these suited monsters, right?  ;)

I believe hes Alive .Maybe hes just hiding because a lot of poeple are now finding and even want to thank on his work and some are threating him ..But a big thanks to him we are now a digital crytocurrency

I hope so but it's very hard to believe that he wouldn't touch the stash that he is currently holding in Bitcoin which is worth literally billions at the current price. Unless he is holding that to make Bitcoin more valuable.

If Satoshi is real, and alive, then he's currently worth $5.739.000.000




I wonder if he's single  :P

I think that satoshi nakamoto is just a pseudo name it is possible that one person came up with the blockchain technology, but group of people or companies helped him to develop the technology. For the topic yes it is possible that him/they are still alive remeber that blockchain technology is fairly new and if ever the story is true that he/they have millions of bitcoins in their wallet then of course with the price of bitcoin today it is worth billions. If the group of people invented bitcoin most likely they have spent some coins already but if companies have invented it then they are already millionaires and i think money is not a problem for them. They could hold their coins as long as they want.

Tm

Yes most probably he is alive. but living with a different name, he was genius to hide his name though.

We already know the answer. It's very obvious the person or the group who created bitcoin is/are alive not even a decade have pass since bitcoin was created.

No one even knows this one person, or a group of people. In any case, I think this name will claim the most mysterious. I think he or they will not open their identity

If he ever wanted to claim the name and success why did he hid himself on the very first note? Sometimes I doubt if any such person exist or is it just a cooked up story about the beginning of bitcoins because I dont think such a humble person exists in this world who does not wants to take credit of such a great invention.

I dont know. Maybe yes maybe no.
If his alive he better hide in a secured place where no one can trace him or them. Because CIA FBI and other federal agencies is interested on him or them.

he still alive
the presence of satoshi nakamoto
always in Bitcoin

satoshi nakamoto is still alive and still hiding in somewhere that we don't know. I think he is watching bitcoin with the increasing of the price and make big smile because the price is really expensive now. but I think satoshi nakamot is not one person but he have many friends behind him or maybe satoshi nakamoto is a group of people which planning something with the bitcoin.

it is good for satoshi nakamoto to stay in underground because once he is reveal his identity then many people especially the media or the police will after him and asked him for many question.

Great opinion so far. I totally agree with your opinion. Satoshi Nakamoto is not a single Person. It's a group, group means there are few friends who built this group and their incredible invention is the "Bitcoin".

I think maybe no, he wont come out some of the governments think that bitcoin is illegal so I think he just afraid to reveal his identity so that he won't be in jail, If I were satoshi nakamoto I rather be silent and enjoying my life and relax in the beach.

If Satoshi Nakatomo is just one person and he/she is that smart, I think he/she wouldn't reveal his/him self. Why would someone genius do anything that bring harm to him/her and his/her family or relatives. 

However, until now, who really knows about Satoshi Nakamoto or who behind Bitcoin project.

There's a big probability that Satoshi Nakamoto whether one person or group are still alive.

If Satoshi Nakamoto is alive, i don't think he will show up and claim that he is indeed the creator of Bitcoin. As we know, Satoshi's whereabouts are still unknown maybe it's because he might be fearing for his life.

I think this threads are presenting yes or no polls because the question leads to the answer. if it can be edited, it will be better.

well, but I'll keep trying to answer. I think satoshi nakamoto is still alive today. he must be a very creative person. there is what makes me curious, how many btc owned sathosi nakamoto?

If we presume that Satoshi Nakamoto is one person and he still alive, he would be a man that believes in open source and sharing knowldge for free. That's why he will never reveal himself or ask anything for what he did. Besides, I think the man who invented Bitcoin would be so rich by now or maybe he is focusing in inventing something new. All genius spend their time inventing more than collecting money.

I read an article about Satoshi Nakamoti saying that, he was the one who created and developed bitcoin and the man behind its success. How about the revelation that Satoshi Nakamoto is not a person but a group of companies such as SAmsung, TOSHIba, NAKAmichi, MOTOrola? If this is true, we do not know who among them are still alive and who were gone already. It is better for them to keep their silence for the sake of their family. And consider this mystery as a part of the history.

We don't have any clear evidence Satoshi is still alive. He banned himself from this forum and haven't express his voice for a very long period of time...

Hahahahaha!!! I believe the theory of combined name from Samsung, Toshiba etc has some truth in it.

Regarding the personality of Satoshi Nakamoto, there is a constant intrigue and there are many versions on the Internet about this person. Satoshi himself will never appear on his own will and all the more will not pretend to any fame. Apparently, this will forever remain one of the greatest mysteries of the crypto currency.

I think he himself might have understood the reality of being known to the world. Then the system might have not developed and started to function in the similar way. Importantly the innovation that he made is very young of less than tens years of existence. So, he'll be living a live and not dead.

Is he is alive. And must be in hiding. If he were to show up some day. I am pretty sure there are many governments waiting to shoot him dead!

that mysterious, satoshi nakamoto 1 person or group, that still mysterious
but thanks for this bitcoin, so many advantages

ur statement make me laugh,, so funny bro
ya i with u he must hiding for many reason

What is with the poll options? They should be:

1) Yes
2) No

lol

Just because Bitcoin has only been around for less than 10 years doesn't mean Satoshi is still alive. He could have been an old man and passed away by now, or even young and died of unnatural causes. :P

Whether it's real or not, Satoshi Nakamoto is still marked in the history the one that who found and introduce the decentralized money on the internet. That's why a lots of government officials want him, so that's why he hide himself before someone could locate his location. These governments are aiming something before that maybe Satoshi's know already what will going to happen, that's why he erased his existence on this forum, and we never know that might one of us here is him.

First thing there is that no one is sure whether 'Satoshi Nakamoto' is a name of a person or group of persons.
If it happens to be one person, then nobody knows who and whether he's still alive or not..

Because satoshi is probably, a philantropist, disgusted with the turn his project has taken in the speculation... Maybe also, that he doesn't want to feel responsible for the issuance of a currency considered as unhealthy by many people (drugs, weapons trafficking etc...)

Hello I think that Satoshi Nakamotoi is a group of people and not a person

Does it even matter if he is alive or not,he might not thought that it would catch up like this when he first introduced bitcoin to the world and so is the reason he wanted everything to be anonymous fearing that the government will be after him and all of his data to prove that he is the real man might have gone by now or he might be afraid that when he presents himself then the millions of coins he holds will become a topic of interest .

One of the biggest mysteries of the crypto currency is the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, who created the digital currency. Most likely this mystery will never be solved. It remains only to guess why Satoshi Nakamoto wished to remain anonymous.

I hope that Satoshi is alive. He was at the right place at the right time. He seized the moment and that single effort will prove to be a giant step forward for mankind. We should celebrate that.

It doesn't even matter if he is alive or not but the reasons why he probably is hiding is convincing enough for him to remain anonymous and so i think he is alive but is not a fool to reveal his identity and get killed.

We don't even know if Satoshi a real person, then how do you make comments about he's death?

Maybe there were 10 people called themselves satoshi, this is also possible.

If he's a true person and alive, he should make something about bitcoin hard forks.

I don’t know what do you mean but the I also don’t know about satoshi because he is not in notice of someone and all people want to know whats the truth, I think if there is some evidence from which we observe that satoshi is alive and if not something there than no one will be sure about that person.

I think no one know what the real matter here and whats the matter of satoshi because if someone find a evidence which will proof that satoshi is alive than people will come out and will do something but I think satoshi get hide and no one knows where that person is so no one will not say anything.

Nobody can prove that Satoshi Nakamoto is an individual person nor this is a group. But one thing in our mind we appreciate bitcoin than any other currency circulating in this world. If he/they are alive then he/they lay low because of this certain rules against bitcoins. I will only impose that please those developers that linked to bitcoin please make an alternative like bitcoin and ethereum for future generation to taste it.

if satoshi nakamoto is alive person or not why he cannot come out and seeking for the truth

when  satoshi nakamoto is really the person who created bitcoin he is like a hero.he changed the world.,a hero never die!!!
thanks to the guys that have created this new way of payments

Well no one knows about it actually bitcoin is decentralized and it’s all things are confidential no one know who is going to operate bitcoin and from where it’s going to operate its very hard to find about bitcoin I just only know that bitcoin is a digital currency and its good and use full for people and I’m lucky that I’m a part of bitcoin.

I agree with you, Satoshi is still alive and he is hiding right now, because he protect her self from dangerous people. I think Satoshi is not too old enough. If Satoshi introduce herself maybe someone can attempt his life, its better not to introduce herself to the people for her safety. The identity of Satoshi Nakamoto is not known and people are hoping that we know her identity soon and we will see him someday.

We don't even know if there's an actual satoshi nakamoto. No one's stepped up to claim that he s him. He may very well be just an alias that the real person uses to protect identity

I think the person or people under the name of Satoshi Nakamoto is/are still alive. They are just hiding for safety reasons I guess. For me, they are just a simple individuals. They do not want to claim the fame. They just want to make our lives easier.

This is a unique thing, the inventor of bitcoin but unknown to its existence, in contrast to the founders of microsoft, apple, google or others, it should be Mr. Nakamoto gets a stake and becomes the richest man because his invention is very useful and changing the world.

If you are looking for some speculations of who he is. There is a guy here proclaming that he is satoshi nakamoto. Look at my thread here. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2312836.msg23472915#msg23472915
There are some articles and videos out there about that guy. He seems very legit but the testimony and evidences aren't enough, so bitcoin experts still doubts this guy. Check the link, he even explained on why Satoshi Nakamoto was the chosen pseudonym.

I believe Satoshi is still alive!  He might be working on something else now.   

i believe he is still alive and probably he wont come out to the public because he is scared to get hunted by scammers and criminals that will be after his bitcoin wealth, although i believe that one of this admin/moderators are the actual satoshi nakamoto but of course he wont still admit it. but i guess that it is  much better if he can just reveal himself to the public so that the president and governments will honor him as a hero and thank him properly for inventing bitcoin.

Have you read one of the theories that this is a group formed by :)

SAmsung, TOSHIba, NAKAmichi, and MOTOrola

It's funny that while my partner was in China, getting contracts with the miner's production factory, he noticed that some chinese policemen in civil cloth were following him most of the time.. He IS looking kind of hacker-style, so he was joking that they might be hoping he is Satoshi (what a great win for them if HE was haha)) ;D :D it was right before China banned bitcoin and ICO

Nobody knows who Satoshi Nakamoto is. Form where he belongs and it is the reason that nobody knows is he alive or dead. I think that it is not a single man but it is a system which creates this digital currency for the world to use and it got success because we see that all who got awareness about bitcoin and know the importance of bitcoin has invested in bitcoin for earning more money.

Probably he is lol. But you never know since probably it was a fake identity created by someone. We just cant say anything with real solid proofs. People and search teams and even I read authorities tried to find him but they reach on no opinion. Long live Satoshi.

Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?
