Bitcoin Forum

I have always taught about this, who owns this forum and how did it start?

You know?

Well, as I understood it was founded by the creator of bitcoin. To whom I belong now, I do not know. After all, it could be sold and resold hundreds of times. But as we see it, this is the most popular playground. I think if you are very interested, you may be able to use the search and by asking the right question you will find all the answers here.

This forum was started by Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, as a place to discuss cryptocurrency into the future..
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5

The forum now is owned by Theymos (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=35) ever since Satoshi left him in charge of the forum as administrator.

There is also another admin along with the theymos (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=35) is Cyrus (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=78147).

Have they tried to show themselves in any event?

sometimes I still ask myself, how can Theymos take over this forum? did he buy this forum from satoshi or maybe he know satoshi? because I haven't found that information until now

You can see this info by clicking their profile which I have linked under their respective names,so don't be bothered to click and read them.No one really know who is satoshi,he is in offline for too long so the administrator needs to take care of everything but I never found any word from theymos stated that he is owning the forum.

Who knows maybe theymos can be satoshi too. ;D

That is a bit strange for most of the people here including me, if satoshi was the creator of this forum why he is no more active and secondly why do not the current admins come in front i mean they should be more vocal in social media, youtube and also should represent their platform at crypto conferences around the world, this anonymity does make things very curious for the community.

As far as I know, this forum was created by Satoshi Nakamoto, at the time when he started developing Bitcoin and actively communicated with his assistants, but now this forum is completely in the hands of Teymos and his closest associates. It is he who controls this forum now for a long time.

Satoshi Nakomoto created this forum in 2009 so that people can share information and discuss it.

this forum is started from Satoshi Nakamoto and he created a team to manage the forum those teams are handling the operations of the forum till date

Although Satoshi Nakomoto created this forum, it does not seem to belong to Satoshi Nakomoto now, maybe Satoshi Nakomoto used an alt account to manage it. Teymos actually manages this forum now, I don't know if they know who is Satoshi Nakomoto.

I think that Themos from the beginning was admin of Bitcointalk. Satoshi (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3) is here as a founder.
In addition to the two you mentioned (Themos and Cyrus) - If I remember correctly, BadBear (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=41911) was also an admin before, but recently he is not very active here.

Don't forget about sirius. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=4)

Check this first ever thread made by satoshi.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5.msg28#msg28

yep, i found this thread right in the moment when you post it here.. faster fingers ;)

But we can look even deeper ;) Here is first post of Satoshi on mailing list from December 2008 ;)

(scroll down to the end of page)

I don't know about this, but I am very grateful to the founders of the forum. He/she has given me a lot of help, no matter who you are, thank you.

if we think at a glance, it is clear that what makes this forum the one that creates bitcoin, so in this case I think that the one who made this forum is satoshi nakamoto, the rest I don't know.

Satoshi nakamoto was the creator of this forum till he went into hiding now this forum is simply been managed by other mods.. who may have links to satoshi.. still no one knows their identity outside of this forum

Damn, never thought it would be from the founder himself!

I have been asking myself same question.  But if satoshi owned this forum and handed over to Thermos, that means Thermos must have known satoshi himself

Badbear is not an administrator of this forum again but cyrus has already taken that place, I guess the admin (theymos) ever interact with satoshi nakamoto directly.
But this forum is still owned by satoshi nakamoto as a founder.

This may not be the case, maybe Satoshi with Thermos are only connected online, they have not really met.
Even if Thermos knows who Satoshi is, there may be a secret agreement between them, and Thermos will permanently keep the secret of Satoshi identity.

I did not stand at the origins of this forum. And I do not have information, as it turned out. But the essence is different. Few people are interested in his history, everyone is interested in his great function, which he performs now.

the owner of this forum is the creator of bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto, but he left I don't know if it is true, the owner of this forum now is theymos, maybe he knows where's satoshi is.

Though,  i may not really know how it started actually,  but from what i can deduct so far from the discussions of the biggest guns here, i am more than convinced,  it was started by Satoshi himself, now under the control of some guys now ranging from Thymeos,  Cyrus, mprep and the likes.

The answer: Indian spammers

Here's a list of some of the most important threads here :

Maybe that can help you figure out a few things about the history of this place,

This forum originated as a result of the creation of bitcoin. They say that he is Satoshi was there to help. If you search in the vastness of this forum information then you can find a lot of interesting facts.

They are handling the forum so well they have a good ranking in the internet and this is where everybody is going to get the latest news in cryptocurrency, and every coin started here, Bitcoin, Ripple Ethereum etcetera and this forum will soon challenge the top 10 sites in the future.

I see we have a question here who is the main one. Can we find an answer to this question. I think no. The founder of the forum is a well-known person to us. However, it is unknown to whom it belongs. Because this cryptocurrency is also a business.

Sirius was the founder of this forum. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Sirius

Cobra and Theymos jointly owned this domain the last time I remember. But Cobra was asked to step down for his extreme responses to bitcoin forks and community. Don't know if Cobra is still the forum co-owner, he isn't active since April 2017.

Anyone would like to go back to the origins of the forum and become part of it in the beginning) I think it is a cherished dream of every user), But alas... Whoever Satoshi is, he's a great man! And maybe one day, he'll show up here again.)

I don't know who won this forum but I know one thing this forum will change a lot of people lives to a great value and there daily life was changed by this forum and a lot of people will made a lot of happiest thing using and helped by this forum.

In any case, today many bitcointalk users have gotten very grateful to the forum. This is practically the only resources that introduces people with cryptocurrency and makes the community even more.

Yes I have heard about it too that people are saying  this that satoshi is the creator of bitcoin. He invented it in 2009 since then no one actually know him as his identity is anonymous but I am sure he must own this forum too. Just keep searching maybe someday you will have your answer but till now I did not find any satisfactory answer of this question.

As far as I know this forum own by satoshi correct me if Im wrong. And Im very thankf ul to the owner of this forum because of that we can communicate each other easily, gives our opinion and also getting a lot of information and even news are here so that's why this forum is very imposrtant to us and we need to take care this for the next generation who are future investor of the crytpcourrency.

It is owned by theymos himself but it is true that satoshi was a member here and that created the big attention. There was other forums as well and there was many places on internet like reddit and so forth that Satoshi himself could go and talk to people but he proffered here so everyone came here since the founder was here. Theymos managed to make this into a crypto hub but it wasn't all by himself.

I had the chance to talk to theymos only once in my bitcointalk life and he is quite to the point type of person, I asked something, he did in under one condition and that was it forever. It is not a wonder that the current administration in place haven't changed for a long long time because Satoshi left them in charge of the forum and when someone trusts you with something (specially if that someone is as big as satoshi) you have hard time trusting others with it.

So...what did you asked him? Is possible for we to know?

But nevermind, was just noob  curiosity anyway, don't want to cause you any troubles.

Is always a pleasure using this forum: is such a legendary place.

*every time reading his nick theymos reminds me Thanos.

I don't think it is owned by anyone really.
There are moderators who help run the place, so I guess you can say that it is "owned" by a handful of people that maintain the website.
But really, bitcointalk is just a forum, that's why its been so endearing and lasted so long.
It hasn't been corrupted by ads or any corporate sponsorship.
Of course, you could say that avatars and bounty hunting are ads, but they aren't intrusive at all.

That is why bitcointalk is such a great place to go to for crypto information and discussions.
You do have to be careful, for every good piece of information there are 100s of trash ones.
But you can generally find what you are looking for, especially since we are all into crypto together.

This has almost remained a puzzle for everyone to crack, but no one seem to have gotten a particular answer to it or answer that is most accurate.
I am thinking that, what can clear the air of doubt is, if Satoshi  that some people claim he created the forum, comes to say it himself that he created it, or if most recognized admin comes up and if there is no one to debunk it, then I will be sure.

Bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto founded this forum. Then he handed over the reins of the current administration. No further information.

Satoshi is an open source farsight genius guy so I think he would never sell any of his masterpiece to anybody. If I were him I'd like to be 200% sure in the real intensions of people who will will be in charge of such an important thing as bitcointalk ;)

I can't tell who owns this forum. Know that it is historical) It is here that bought a pizza for 10,000 btc, it was here that the founder of Silk Road. But I think the founder of this forum a very smart man and we will never know about it.

I guess this topic started in Bitcoin discussion and was moved here, right?
Nice quads we have here: Teymos, Themos, Thermos, and Thymeos.


Theymos should really change his name to Tomoshi or Tateyoshi, cause it's damn funny how none of the spammers got satoshi nakamoto's name wrong.

Who really owns this forum? - The bounty spammers. :)

Lol,considering they may actually be the vast majority in the forum,you actually could be correct ;D
To the OP:No one actually owns the forum,since users like yourself are allowed to have accounts and spam the shit out of the forum.
Do you think if we had a staunch ruler,king,prince,president,owner etc, you'll be allowed in here to ask us such questions as this  ;D ???,you'll be fired/kicked out immediately.

Who owns the forum? Theymos. Who owns the domain bitcointalk.org? Cobra.

The forum was originally created by satoshi nakamoto but the forum is own by each an every users that is dedicated to the growth of the forum and always observe rules and regulations
. While theymos in his capacity is the administrators that is in charge of the running of the forum

From Theymos sometime ago :
