Bitcoin Forum

Recently I came across a 2014 comment where an individual on Bitcoin talk claimed to have 50000 BTC. He must be a millionaire today but then I was left wondering if Santoshi is also lurking around on this forum and having a laugh?

I also don't know whether Mr. Satoshi is on this Forum using it or not, is the person they are talking about is Satoshi Nakamoto? or someone else?

i think Mr. Satoshi is busy now and maybe relaxing a bit drinking wine in a luxurious resort dont you think? with that much of money i think its just fine to just stop everything and relax his mind.

I doubt it. He suddenly gone in 2010 without any sign or notice. I think he's either wants to completely detach from Bitcoin or dead.

But let's say that he does lurk here, given how the overall discussion quality on this forum, I imagine he would only read the technical section :D

This thread is not suited for this board.
Speculation (altcoin) board is meant for discussions and predictions about the market and chart flow.

Meta is an appropriate board for all posts related to the forum.
You can move this post there using the move topic option at the bottom left of your thread.

If he is, then we need him to show his face  ;D


Shit happens most times. Anything is possible to happen. Meanwhile, how do we even know if something like that happens to some names we are already used to here... ::) :o. I'm just thinking out loud maybe.

haha, interesting thread. If he (or they...) is alive he surely is reading silently or even posting through sockpuppet accounts.

I really wonder why he never attempted to move the "old" coins of his. Must be like 1 million BTC. Maybe one day he ll do and hell will break lose in this forum :D

and sadly that part also changed a lot from where it used to be, if i remember it correctly. a few years ago, peoples were talking about technical problem that they were facing when running the wallet but today it becomes a place for those people who do not know how to use their wallet or having a trivial matter.
and even some of them were asking an unnecessary question such as, "cracked the wallet and stole their BTC". it keeps moving down

yes, I also think so, satoshi is good at hiding his identity but without realizing it he must still be in this forum by using different names and always seeing the development of this forum

Who's that person that claimed to have 50,000 BTC? do you know him? And first, it is not Santoshi but Satoshi Nakamoto. You can always check his profle satoshi (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3) here in bitcointalk. He's not been active for 8 years already and no one knows if he's still alive.

I think these people do not sit on the forums.
The real Satoshi is resting in his own mansion far from people and loves silence.
Do you really think that the creator of bitcoin writes on the forum?

He's active here since 2009 - 2010 but he left the forum already. I don't think that he still have time to check the forum because no one knows if he's still alive or just having his luxurious vacation. This has been the mystery that we can't solve right now and no one knows where satoshi is up to date.

and personally i agree if satoshi doesn't show up his face,, and always become a mystery,,
to keep the democrations on bitcoin,,,

maybe sometimes,, such as a once a in a year,, he will back here just to see how is this community growing

He never appears again in this forum you can see the last activity of satoshi nakamoto https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=3
as the founder of this forum and that makes sense to see that. he is not busy but he is unknown person. Theymos doesn't even know who satoshi is.

there are a lot of crypto enthusiasts who have 50000 btc back then during 2009-2011 when only a few have knowledge about bitcoin.  mining was very easy and you can mine hundreds of bitcoins daily with cpu.  If only we could turn back the clock, I would have bought as much as 50000 btc also.  this would only cost me less than 1000 usd.  but then, who knows bitcoin will be worth as much as today.  and also, nobody knows how much bitcoin will be worth 10 years from now.  if we know that bitcoin will be worth 1M usd apiece 10 years from now, i think everybody would buy as much as they can today.

Everyone who knows bitcoin at that time and ignores it at this time is very sorry to have missed a golden opportunity that could change his economy, but we must not dissolve regret because there are still many opportunities for someone to be able to change the economy by utilizing bitcoin exchanges or currencies other virtual and take advantage of it as long as we know the knowledge and master the knowledge in the field of crypto currency trading then anything we can get as long as we are sure.

I don't think Satoshi still lurk around this forum, I still feel Satoshi is more of a group of individual not a single person. If Satoshi still lurk around  and is one single person he would have been tempted to move some of his coins in response to the debate in the space. Satoshi is one of the richest individual in the space and money and power is a strong tool to possess.

I do not know whether he is here or not but I think of course he is now a millionaire with his BTC, maybe you need to provide gaabr about someone who claims that 50000 BTC.

We still do not know if Satoshi is an individual or a company so that suspense still exists today. Also we do not know if that person really hold that 50k Btc or not till today as it was four years back . Anyways everyone should aim to hold as much Btc as possible in their life.

Guess that's the catch with Bitcoin getting more popular. It's inevitable I would say.

Here's an interesting history to read https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583286.msg6386535#msg6386535
Paraipan was a respectable member here. May he rest in peace.

It's very interesting reading his last four days on here.   He was extremely active on Dec 9th to 11th, 2010 and then on the 12th, his last post says:

"There's more work to do on DoS, but I'm doing a quick build of what I have so far in case it's needed, before venturing into more complex ideas. "

No one knows if he will back again here. If he's living, let him live the life to the fullest after his creation became successful. But that's what we want to happen, we just want to say thanks to him if ever he's going to be back. The mystery is, we don't know if he's still alive and kickin'.  :-\

well maybe, he is now billionaire, could it be he is one of the reasons why bitcoin is down you know he just sold his bitcoins, "enjoy your life Mr. satoshi". ;D 

Haha, I love the question on this forum, is Satoshi is lurking in here. It's seems that satoshi is like a monster fish just lurking around. If he is alive and kicking, most probably he is. Being the inventor of bitcoin, he is definitely proud of where is it now. But mostly probably he is also sad with the bad intention of people. But in the end, he just wanted to create a decentralized way of managing wealth and creating freedom for all regardless of personal background.

Considering he holds around 1,000,000 BTC * $6,300 that's around $6.3B. But accusing if as the resource person and reason why the market has been down is wrong.

the current decline in bitcoin has nothing to do with satoshi nakamoto, why can you think that, isn't Satoshi just a history that hasn't been revealed, it's been a mystery to bitcoin users for years

I only know this account https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3;sa=summary , I think this is true Satoshi, it's just that the account has been inactive since 2010. I don't know about the amount of BTC that Satoshi has, but no matter how much it doesn't matter, because Satoshi deserves it.

Yes that's the account of satoshi and its legit account see the UID, it's "3". Means its the 3rd account created in the forum. He already left the forum for years and we don't know where he is now.

Can't find the said wallet of satoshi but you can search that there were articles that estimated he owns roughly 900,000 - 1,000,000 BTC. And he's even listed on forbes as the 247th richest person in the world.
