maybe SATOSHI is dead and BTC is at mercy of GITHUB developers, owned by blockstream


what you guys think ?

Dead or not, still bitcoin is the best and I really appreciate his work in the technology. Blockchain is one of the greatest thing he did in the modern technology and we can innovate more through that chain network.

Satoshi is quiet now because he wants a happy life, that's the reason why he's not showing up.

well anything can be true, and yes BTC is best, not for technology but for the simple fact of being the 1st and widely expected !

i would rate NANO & ETH over BTC, but we can't den the fact that BTC has 60% dominance

No one knows,
He could be alive and dead.

It is also possible that he is keeping people informed that he is still alive because we know that he may have a threat to his life or that he may be used by influential people.

Whatever the reason, I can say that he is smart because he created a coin that has the potential to change the global financial trend.

what if satoshi is currently watching and stalking us, so that when he comes suddenly and sells out all of his bitcoin, I think everything will panic mess, I'm not sure he's dead, I believe he is still there and watching everyone in the This forum includes laughing at your thread

Maybe he is, maybe he isn't. I bet we aren't going to find out.

As for the mercy of blockstream, even if Satoshi is alive he won't suddenly come out to impose his vision on us, like Craig is doing. He wants the project to go its own way and be driven by the people, not a frontman.

Blockstream isn't running Bitcoin! If you want to become a bitcoin dev you can do it, just like people who proposed LN and Schnorr.

We really don't know this, but if he's really dead it will be a big heart break for all of us, for sure that we will all be sad for this thing. For sure there is a group of people who really know who's the real Satoshi is, I know that one day we will be able to find out, maybe they are just waiting for the perfect moment for this to happen, let's chill a bit and let us stay tuned.

Maybe Satoshi is dead, maybe Satoshi isn't dead. In the end, this is once again a very pointless conversation that's not going to really get anywhere nor achieve anything either.

No one lives immortally here in this physical world, and I thanked for this name Satoshi regardless if he's dead or alive right now. For sure nobody know where he have been these days, he'd opened the word of crypto for me for there's an opportunity beyond the reality of physical money unto virtual form which becomes worth of our spending.
If ever this man is not a real person or used anonymously by whales who controlled the world of crypto, I guess one of them who created Satoshi was already dead according to my personal opinion.

If that Satoshi birthday appeared in Google is real, I think his too young to be dead by now. He might just simply want to hide himself and lives a normal life. There is no point on discussing as there are not much personal datas provided about him, all are just speculations and claims of being him and them not.

Maybe Satoshi is really dead, accidents happen on a daily basis and perhaps Satoshi was hit by a car, perhaps he was killed by a gunman or some three-letter agency keeps him trapped somewhere. But even if he is alive and completely free, I do not believe he would appear on the Internet, because it would cause more harm than good.

Bitcoin is strong precisely because it does not have one person behind it, and I think Satoshi himself was aware of that. Bitcoin is on its way, Satoshi launched it and went into the legend. For all those in need of great leaders, I suggest some another coin.

I don't know, some of the people here knows but most of us do not know who he is or where he is right now. All we know is that he left us a brilliant invention that we should keep on going since this technology will be revolutionized in the upcoming future. Also, there are a lot of ways to get information about Satoshi and my idea was surrounding the first members of this forum, I think that is a bad idea though since even though some of them talked to him, they do not know who he is.

We could never know if it's true but it could be it has been 10 years already,
What if Satoshi was already old when he created Bitcoin and there are so many things that could happen in 10 years,
So many natural disaster or could be an accident or due to illness or being old.
But no matter what we should be thankful for Satoshi, For this great gift that he gave us.

OP got tired of figuring out who satoshi is.

Unless someone is proven to be satoshi, we can never tell his health conditions as well.

And unless he is making a comeback, it is not important if he is dead or not. A lot has improve in bitcoin since satoshi left the scene. Even if he won't come back, I think we are in good hands.

As you are saying, Satoshi being dead is a possibility, I read a thread here in the forum about a theory that Satoshi died on an accident, thus the reason for the unmoved Bitcoin on his wallet address (can't find the thread though).  But there is also a possibility that he can be alive and just saving himself from lots of controversy and hard decision since the Bitcoin economy somehow became politics.  No matter what it is, I respect the decision of Satoshi wanting to be kept hidden, and thankful to him for creating this great financial innovation.

We can't tell because Satoshi can be a group. But there's always a possibility. A decade passed already and it's been too long yet we still have no idea about who Satoshi is. Maybe he's still alive and just watching us while having his own freedom. If he's actually dead, then there would be lesser possibility of knowing the real Satoshi...

I'm just curious if his family does actually know that he is Satoshi, the one who created bitcoin...

It's already proven because the chain network of the others are just copycat from bitcoin. Blockchain was originally made for bitcoin, the other assets just improve and develop it to make it more interesting than bitcoin but still people are trying to invest more in bitcoin rather than the other assets.

eth's chain are not also made from the scratch, it is developed from bitcoin's chain network.

Even if that's the case, Bitcoin has been created as open-source code so anybody can contribute to it or fork it, but in order for the main Bitcoin blockchain to change its parameters we need consensus of the miners and that is the beauty of decentralization, but we need to maintain it, otherwise we will be exposed to some central entities who control the majority of the network.

I think maybe yes. Even I thought of this for a while but isn't it just an excuse because we haven't been able to find him until now. But the main thing is that if he is dead all the addresses that he had with tons of btc would go into completely frozen stage as that supply would be lost forever in emptiness. Now this can be both good and bad as decreased supply would mean increase in price but the currency would deflate much more.

10 years in the making and i would guess he's probably dead due to some health problems because i know he's too old to be staying here in this complicated world. Some great people will always going to perish with a great work left for us to use and be amazed at the same time. And Satoshi now is one of the legend in our history.

I don't know whether its alive or died and I will not think about the possibility of died hope he it's still alive ,maybe he was smiling happily seeing all of us I know that Satoshi makes the financial system more sophisticated and I am still idolized him like a president of crypto

Even if it's a group of people, there must be the leader of this group that should be considered the Satoshi. I don't think it's a group, though. For one, this forum's Satoshi was lost likely one person. More importantly, why would Hal Finney be the first Bitcoin recipient? A group of people could run some tests between themselves.
Satoshi could be a woman, though, as far as I know. People keep saying "he", but it could be a "she".
Perhaps, we'll never know. And I think it's for the best.

I don't think Satoshi has died

Satoshi only hid his identity and his family, because of the Bitcoin that he created maybe, he was afraid it would disturb the comfort and security of him and his family, but we do not know for sure what reason he chose until now he still hid himself.

I think this is a fairly political post with a clickbait title.

Blockstream and its developers are more involved with a set of products of their own that build upon bitcoin. Their contributions to bitcoin core are going through the same open process as any contribution to bitcoin. In fact, if anybody, including OP, came up with a complete Bitcoin Improvement Proposal and had the experience to back it up, it wouldn't matter who he was working for.

People shouldn't just pay attention to Blockstream being used as a buzzword for evil. We should be thankful for their contributions to bitcoin. If we are to be critical of anything, it's more useful to focus on specific instances.

Satoshi Nakamoto's identity is truly mysterious and no one knows his whereabouts and no one accurately reveals his identity which raises the question whether Satoshi Nakamoto is still alive or dead and I cannot answer it.
and he is a great person and very genius has created bitcoin that can help everyone.

Yes he is and can you guys leave him in peace so that he can have a successful "RIP". All these queries about his identities and whereabouts are definitely a pain in his butt and you guys need to put an end to this once and for all >:(. If he wants to be known he would have done this about 5 years ago. Let's all learn to respect a man's last wishes!

Looks like the direction of the discussion is going to Fud. It doesn't matter if Satoshi is dead. He has long been gone and he wants it. Nothing bad will happen to BTC and its development.

People from then on can build apps on of its blockchain and its still opensource that it can be used by anyone. The result of so many blockchain companies today is what satoshi had started.

It's totally a prediction on a person, whose identity is even not known.  But there is one big factor we all know that the person owns lots of BTC and if he is dead then the Big question is what happened to his BTC?

Whether dead or alive, satoshis legacy will leave on. Satoshi left behind an innovation that will continue to be in the lips of everyone as Bitcoin is gradually gaining adoption by the day. Projects such as Ethereum, ripple, neo and to mention but a few exists today because of the satoshis innovation. His legacy will never die.

Hmm that would make him/her Schrödinger's cat (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrodinger%27s_cat).

We can then assume he/she exists in both states, and only if you manage to find him/her, you will then know which of the states is in...

See? It all relates to quantum superposition, proof that he/she was aware of quantum physics :)

But do note that as long as there is no observation, both states are true. Would you risk killing him/her?

So from now on we can confidently assume that Satoshi is in both states as long as he remains unobserved, which is why no one may ever find him/her ever again.

There, mystery solved. Move along, move along, nothing to see here...

Either he is already dead or he is really determined that since he already took the path of moving away from Bitcoin so that we should not anymore look for any possibility of him coming back and taking the rein in Bitcoin. Now, please elaborate to me why we are at the mercy of GitHub developers...what are the many instances that we can consider for this kind of conclusion? Personally, maybe it could have been better if Satoshi Nakamoto is still here providing the good leadership that we are all needing but the reality is that there is a little chance he is getting back to us, so we have to move on and help in any way we can to make Bitcoin be adopted by as many people as possible.

I don't think he died but you need to put yourself in his shoes. If he makes himself public there will be a big controversary. One being that he has over 1 million coins that he or his family can sell anytime and cause the price to crash. Another could be for his safety. Being a billionaire isn't easy since there are many who can kidnap you and hold you for ransom so you need to hire security at all times.

He might of mined some coins in 2010 which he sells from time to time, if he starts selling some of those earlier 2009 mined coins then people will start seeing some pattern and might trace where the coins get sent too. Very rarely these days is a coinbase transaction executed unlike in 2011-2012.

Either that or he just misplaced his private keys, however being involved with security I highly doubt that and he most likely kept backups.

Nobody can identify the answer to this question because we don't even know the person behind that pseudonym, let's just accept the fact that we are not capable on finding out his real identity. Maybe he did it for some unknown reason where he can protect himself from any issues and we should just respect his decision because we have no other choice but to understand his situations. Let's just be grateful for what he did because he helped us on changing our lives into something better.

Maybe Satoshi is alive and well, still working for the  NSA!
He's keeping quiet for obvious reasons..

We don't know if Mr. Satoshi Nakoto is still alive or not but I still hoping he still alive and I want to thank him for making this kind of technology. Until now, no one can say who he is and no one can find him. Even there are some people who claim that they are real Satoshi Nakamoto I do not believe and maybe we should wait until the real Satoshi Nakamoto show up. But, I know it's hard for him to reveal himself and if ever he reveal himself do you think it might have an impact in bitcoin, especially on its price?

I don’t understand why, since it is important to get an answer to the question whether Satoshi Nakamoto is alive or dead and where he is.  If these questions were important, then such conversations could be called speculation in the name of Satoshi Nakamoto, but I do not think that the future of the cryptocurrency and the entire cryptocurrency market, including Bitcoin, depends on the answer to these questions.

Satoshi is dead or not but has created something valuable for many people, he should be equated with Thomas alva edison and other inventions. Which is very useful for many people.
But unfortunately until now no one really knew who he was.

Which developers owned how?

If Bitcoin dies, it'll be because the public was too stupid to handle having a system that doesn't have any higher power taking care of it-- like a child that forgets to feed their pet gerbil.   The fact that so many people fall so easily for that sort of nonsense is probably the biggest danger signal against Bitcoin's future.

I haven't been active her for a while and I come back to see that things haven't changed,
still people are speculating about Satoshi.

Bitcoin is doing just fine since he disappeared, development has progressed too.
That is how he created it and left it, so that it can be developed by anyone not just one single figure because there is strength in that and it's one of the reasons bitcoin is so strong.

the fact when anything goes global it will stay, no matter the users, like if people will start selling there btc, i will buy them all :D just  as collection !

You look like an author in the yellow press. I do not understand why people create such assumptions? Satoshi is anonymous, no one knows who it is or what it is, the only thing what we have is Bitcoin and it still works. I think just stop the FUD

Whether Satoshi is dead or not but bitcoin is not dead and will never be. Satoshi will remain immortal as well since a bitcoin has 100000000 Satoshis  ;D
Too many Satoshis to live with right  ;D ;D Jokes apart, Satoshi has created something for the public which will be controlled and used by the public.
So he will always remain in the hearts of the people.

That is still a "maybe" so there are chances that he is alive and government agencies is still in alert if ever he will come out.

But does it matter? He left a unique way for people to transact and also to have privacy in their financial wallets instead of just one option which is the bank.
I thank him already for that and I think many does too.
There have been a lot of changes in the financial industry and now they want to mimic bitcoin.
Isn't that already proof that it is a success?

We really don't know on why satoshi is hiding in public and not making an update like here on forum. He should just make a public message so people will know on why he keep himself anonymous.

And there 's a rumor that satoshi didn' t even make any transaction on his wallet and has a over a million of BTC holdings. He should br waiting for the right time or too old to make a transaction since almost 9 years have passed yet no update or changes on his account here on bitcointalk.

It's quite irrelevant these days whether he is really dead or not. He has already made his legacy and is probably resting somewhere, or in heaven. Either way. the technology, and his mind-opening ideology made us realize at one point in time that separation in financial institutions and government is possible to transact and trade goods and services, without their surveillance. Although this is the main objective of Bitcoin, we could still say that true separation is not possible, as government would always try to regulate/control anything under their watch.

I don't think he is dead although, if I were him, I would have cashed out a few of the BTC he's holding in Dec 2017  ;D

Don't think that's true.
To me, Shatoshi is not relative to bitcoin quite long time ago, since he public and said it's a decentralize currency.
Bitcoin is now controlled by the whole decentralized network. That's the real value, the only thing that made it stand out right the beginning. if he still in control, I don't think people would be happy to know, and no one's using it means the death.

Yeah, he's most likely a single individual and also most likely dead, but we don't know for sure. The coins attributed to him (that he may have mined in the early days) have not moved.

Everyone wished they could have sold their bitcoins in 2017 and did not expect more of the price that went bad the next year. There is really no accurate information of who really Satoshi Nakamoto is, some says it's most likely Finney, some says it is Wei Dai in disguise. Regardless of who he is, where he is I think he will be proud of himself knowing what bitcoin has grown in the past years.

Seeing those unmoved coins, seems like he never really run after the money but the financial revolution. I really wanna know him and thank personally If only he would do. Maybe he's dead because of this or not becase his intention was not about the money.

Maybe, or Satoshi just wanted to stay anonymous, live a normal life and let his creation live by itself on the hands of active bitcoin developers. The thing is we still enjoy bitcoin in the last 10 years and will continue to grow in the next decade. There are a lot of pretenders out there, but they can't proved any thing so lets just thank Satoshi for giving us his creation.

Satoshi Nakamoto could be dead, that's a good opinion though, but something on my mind tell me that he's still alive but hiding and he's one of the whales. I'm not sure, but if he's really alive, it's gonna be good, cause at the end of thing he's the real creator of bitcoin and started the digital currencies.

Maybe he is dead, we can't know that if we don't know who is satoshi, but I'm not agree about the Core at mercy of devs. I mean any one can fork the code and change it the way they want but that doesn't mean the users will take that new code. For code upgrades all the comunity must be agree with the new core and update their nodes to that code. That's how the updates are done.

Anyone can become a developer. Some developers do work for blockstream, many do not. Bitcoin is not at the 'mercy' of anyone

A question that will never get a true answer because no one can validate if satoshi is truly dead and there's even no evidence on who he was in real life. Regardless of it, we're all thankful to him but,

this is an unending discussion and should be closed.

"SATOSHI" shouldn't be the tool for the success of bitcoin. Moreover, I will suggest that he doesn't make himself known in order not to  create panic for bitcoin. Because he would grant interviews from notable journalists who would ask him crucial questions that will cause him to make comments that may derail from Bitcoin ideology,  thereby causing investors to pullback and fuel the analysis  of  conspiracy theorists.
SATOSHI if it's a real person and not a code name, should lay low while Bitcoin achieve its potential. Because even Vitalik Buterin that is known,  it's not empowering the scalability of Ethereum.

Sorry, but I think will be useless to discuss it. No one knows who Satoshi is, or even where he comes from. Then, how we can discuss "maybe Satoshi is dead". He can be still alive, and he can be dead already. This will be never ended!

Look at above! We only found that most of the replies look like to be speculation only or own theory.

Do you have a clear explanation of this?

---

I suggest to lock this thread soon.

it could happen, what is impossible if it involves death .. I'm sure you will die too, and we will all die .. !!

He is like Schrodinger's cat, we never know if he's alive or dead until we find him which I think will never happen because of how he hid his identity to the world. I'm sure this Forum moderators have some significant clues that could lead to his identity but we shouldn't meddle as it must be the wish of Satoshi.  Bitcoin is an open-source and anyone can contribute to it.

For sure everybody in this world eventually will be dead including satoshi and as the identity still nor leaked yet so we only just speculate where satoshi or who is satoshi but satoshi dead or alive it doesn't matter because his created which is called bitcoin will be alive forever and can help and solved people economy issue around the world

Finding him will be impossible, we should consider the risk not only for him but to the whole crypto space if his identity and location will be revealed.
The forum admins might have some knowledge about it, but even if they know, I'm sure they won't say a thing about him since they wanted to ensure the anonymity of everyone especially the developer of BTC.

I do not know whether Satoshi has died or not, it is still a huge mystery and big question mark until now. But I hope that Satoshi will be fine wherever he is. And I am very grateful to Satoshi because Bitcoin has always been the leading coin among other coins, even the bitcoin is growing until now.

A mystery where we should never be looking for the answer. Whatever happens to him, or wherever he is, his existence is still unknown and there is no reason for bitcoin user to find him. He wanted to stay unknown and he wanted to have an anonymous living where there is no one knows that he is the creator of bitcoin.

Who knows what happened to him as he successfully done with what he desire to do, being anonymous makes him a mystery and makes him
comfortable with his life now. We will all die no question to that in whatever causes it will come to our way. What is good is he introduce this
new system that we are all enjoy he will never be forgotten.

Probably, but should we really talk about this by now.

Attacks with his beloved bitcoin are being made everyday including big companies that want bitcoin to be shut down.
Even governments are trying the same thing or creating their own coins just so the investment with bitcoin could be pulled down.
They want it out.
Maybe we should focus more on how to be more wise when making such FUDs and also how to encourage more people into why bitcoin should be their first pick.

you can rate any alts as you want but you cant change the fact that the 60% dominance of bitcoin will stay for a long time.

and those alts that you are betting?will never ever take the number 1 position even if this for a lifetime.

Satoshi Dead Or Not?doesnt matter because being thankful to him is more than enough to say that he created the best thing world as ever had,and this is Bitcoin that followed by tons of creytpcurrencies.

LOL :D
I wish he is alive, imagine he is not dead and watching BTC price and Smiling for what he did,
if is dead then he's name is still Alive and will alive, The Satoshi Nakamoto was a scientific

That's possible but no one really knows the fact. No matter what Satoshi's status is, I'm sure that he's happy for his achievements and everyone is really grateful for his creation. He has contributed a lot in the global economic situation especially for countries with a shaky economy. Bitcoin is now playing a vital role as a digital currency and everyone should thank Satoshi for creating it.

well there's really a possibility that satoshi is dead
but if he is still alive maybe he really wants to hide his identity for security purposes

Indeed, his identity is a secret so far, so many people around the world have wanted to know who he is and where he is to ask him about bitcoin but the result is still zero, whether he is alive or dead, it is still a great mystery. And to be honest, I feel he should not appear in public because sometimes it may be an opportunity for the government, they can through him control bitcoin as they wish, and the child he creates will not have too much value for the community, which is probably what he understands and he never wanted to appear.

It can be possible and it can be no one knows who is satoshi and where he came from, for as long as I know bitcoin and how to earn it then there is no problem with it. Whatever it is, dead or alive, bitcoin is still bitcoin and it is still the mother of cryptocurrency.

He doesn't want recognition. His recognition is that Bitcoin managed to grow out to a +$100 billion market cap asset, and if there is enough demand in the future, maybe even a +$1 trillion market cap asset.

I can see why people want to know who Satoshi is, but you won't gain anything from it personally because nothing changes about the fact that Satoshi can't contribute to Bitcoin anymore. Satoshi is a massive Bitcoin whale and that's it.

Ah.. the typical "Blockstream controls Bitcoin" argument. Maybe at least check the GitHub repository yourself to confirm? Sure they have a big influence over Bitcoin, but it's not solely them. ChainCode Labs and other independent contributors exist. Saying that solely Blockstream controls Bitcoin's repository just screams utter ignorance.

Here, I'm going to link it for you as maybe you'd have trouble finding it: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/graphs/contributors

I don't think the developer of Bitcoin is dead he is hidden because that's the only correct way which protect him from many things which could be harmful for him there is no need to explain about his net worth so in my opinion if he has chosen to hide himself then he did absolutely correct.

I guess Satoshi knew it already that his/their creation would be great in the future and they literally make something that is against the government a decentralized cryptocurrency called "Bitcoin". That's why they really hide their identity in the first place and up until now, no one knows if Satoshi Nakamoto is a person or a group of organization or even dead or alive. But one thing is for sure, they have made a life changing discovery that we people now are using for a decade.

True, and even he is alive he had to protect his identity for security reasons. Satoshi can be any person or a known one but reluctantly admit he is Satoshi Nakamoto while those impostors are gladly announcing he is Satoshi. We never know until he can move bitcoins from his identified address.

More likely that Satoshi doesn't simply exist!

I spent some hours reading into this in my early days of BTC.

I came to the conclusion that Hal is Satoshi.

There's too many similarities in the writing and Hal was extremely intelligent, the conversations early on felt like brainstorming with himself (I quite often do this myself). Plus the thought of him leaving something as his legacy makes me want to believe it's true. The unsung hero.

I think it doesn't matter anymore if Satoshi was already dead or not , In my opinion no body could claim the name Satoshi or they are the one who created the bitcoin technology,
my theory is a company made this bitcoin , I don't think their is a guy name satoshi made this kind of technology in my opinion.

So you mean that there is no satoshi Nomakato and all these are fake stories that bitcoin was created by satoshi.  :-\ Well, the problem is that we have no evidence to depend or oppose your argument and everyone has the rights to pretend sathosi as they want, because we never hear who is the real satoshi.  When you do not have a real source of information, then everyone comes up with his own story.

We cannot deny that bitcoin technology made by this Satoshi was really revolutionary, A digital currency and its unique technology could really change the world I could easily imagine people using this in the future as a currency paying in stores just using bitcoin or using the QR code scan and that easily you're already paid. Dead or not I think it doesn't matter anymore since bitcoin was already popular in the world maybe this is what Satoshi wanted to his work and just don't want to reveal his identity to stay anonymous.

i think no, sathosi nakamoto still life he is just hide their identity for reason that we does not know. and people ask why sathosi nakamoto hide their identity but i think there is a reason who ca not speak in the publik. but there is no guarantee about your statement or my opinion was true. because i believe that satoshi nakamoto still life and it make bitcoin can grow untill now

It is just a waste of time if we keep on thinking about satoshi. Unless or until he comes up in media and public, there is no point discussion on his existence. No matter who he was, but he left with us the great invention of him, the bitcoin which is truly a revolutionary change for the world in the coming years.

No he's not dead and probabily wont be for this time being ;)

Have you wondered if he was brought from the future with an intention of making bitcoin to this Era?

Many things could be possible, just because a man doesnt reveal himself doesnt mean he's dead...

On the other hand what is important is bitcoin being alive just as he suposed to be.

It's not a waste of time giving values on the creator of bitcoin. Dead or alive, Satoshi must be respected for opening the gates of the currency revolution. Maybe he's glad right now watching us use his creation. But don't just focus on who he is or where he is now, the fact that Satoshi did not showed up and introduced himself is a sign that he does not want any fame or popularity but a peaceful mind knowing that he created a great invention such as bitcoin.

I do not know, the discussion about this will not be endless, many conjectures, assumptions, and all ended in vain because it is only a statement with evidence that only matched it. Until now, Nakamoto is a mystery, who is he? male or female? individual or group? nobody really knows.
I'm more certain that Satoshi is just a camouflage from a team that is behind Bitcoin. So if one of them dies there must be a backup plan to continue operations, even if Satoshi is an individual, looking at this extraordinary planning and unique innovation, I'm also sure Satoshi already has a plan. So that it does not interfere in general.

The mysterious Satoshi will probably never let us know what he has been doing the last few years. I suggest we wish him a Happy Holiday season and a healthy new decade as 2020 starts.

hell yeah it is not  . its disrespect already once you say that its a waste of time thinking him  . if you can think of other people that dont do anything good for the world then why not give some time too for the person that help the world live more better ?

 its only a what if's though and we still didnt know if satoshi is really dead or not but i suspect he isnt  . i belive that satoshi was not an old man so he is still alive i guess but he only loves to conceal himself idk why he loves to do that  .

Maybe there is a possibility that it is true.
But what would be changed if it is?
We would never know if he is dead or not since we don't even know who is the person behind the name.
Or maybe he is still alive maybe there are some people who really know who is the real Satoshi and one day they would announce it or tell the world if something happen to Satoshi Nakamoto.

Anybody don't know about it.
I guess that satoshi will appear in the future.

Maybe I can understand what you say that most likely the people in crypto also does not know the existence or how things are now. but does it affect with bitcoin? I feel it will not be too influential and bitcoin can be like this is a very significant progress. maybe in the future there will be other satoshi or descendants who can also boost the progress of bitcoin. in crypto everything can happen and nothing is impossible.

That is a very popular theory for those that try to explain why satoshi left so abruptly, many think that he got sick and that he never recovered and that at some point he passed away, the truth is we have no way to know that information since I find really unlikely that the identity of satoshi is ever going to be revealed, personally I prefer to think that he is alive and that he is watching bitcoin from the sidelines and is just happy to have created something that will affect the world in such a deep way.

It is just a theory so we cannot say that it is true or it is a hoax. Satoshi will never reveal his identity because of the threat of the government. He will stay anonymous forever I'm sure with that. I do not have care even if satoshi is still dead or alive. I only have care to what he created and it is the bitcoin and also this forum. It is better if we will just focus on studying about bitcoin and cryptocurrencied than to find out the identity and story of satoshi.

because he is anonymous, we also cannot know about the things that have happened to him. and until now his identity is still unknown, so I think to answer this question is only limited to arguments or theories made by some people.

so what if the man is dead?his legacy will remain forever so dead or not we must be thankful in everything he does for human kind.
he Gives us our financial freedom,and even that one day bitcoin dies with him?still there are tons of altcoins that will remain from what he started.

The name of "Satoshi Nakamoto" has been symbolized, it is meaningless to discuss life and death.

The innovation from him is under discussion, and it has also listed on the top innovations. What's required more than that, and he himself is not interested in revealing his identity to the outside world. As in the quote it is meaningless to discuss life and death of a person as there is nothing confirmed.

until now the name Satoshi Nakamoto is still a mystery and about him is still alive or not, of course we will not know. but that is not important because after he created Bitcoin my life have is began to change. however the name Satoshi will always be remembered by crypto lovers even if he's have is dead or still a alive.

whatever situation has happened to him (I did not specifically say about gender), the clear concept of decentralization of bitcoin will still be maintained in the continuation of network development. If indeed he had died peacefully, and was then replaced by successors who were trusted to continue his vision, then they would also continue what Satoshi was doing by keeping his identity biased in secrecy.

But I'm interested in whether Satoshi Nakamoto understands ASIC.
I once heard others say that Satoshi Nakamoto opposed GPU mining, but then changed his mind. Is this true?

i agree we will not forget the creator of bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto whether he's dead or alive
if we will talk about cryptocurrency the people that will come up first in our mind will be satoshi

Yeah, it seems that no one really knows the real identity of Satoshi Nakamoto and either we don't know if he did or not, It's really a mystery. There's like some ppl showing off as they're the real Satoshi Nakamoto but I think all of them are fake and they're just doing that to get more attention from people or probably because of other reasons. Anyway, I'm so happy that I'm a part of this community and I will always support it.

Most likely not, this cannot be. Maybe Satoshi is probably just a symbol to protect himself from the dangers of the media. There is no evidence that Satoshi appears and shows his face. Many investors and traders were happy about this.

Or maybe this is done precisely so that the crypto market does not react to Satoshi's actions?
