Title: Nobel Prize - Satoshi Nakamoto Post by: JPage on January 17, 2015, 07:23:09 PM Lets face it, it won't be too long before Sweden will start talking about giving the Nobel Prize in Economics to Satoshi. That is pretty much a certainty. But, who will receive the prize? Satoshi is long gone and never coming back.
I think Andreas Antonopoulos should accept it on his behalf. Andreas is true father of bitcoin after satoshi and continues to be a great ambassador for the community now. Title: Re: Nobel Prize - Satoshi Nakamoto Post by: jonald_fyookball on January 18, 2015, 12:02:18 AM I doubt it will happen for a while... just seems unlikely that the establishment will give bitcoin that much visibility right now. if it does happen it would likely be Gavin accepting.
Title: Re: Nobel Prize - Satoshi Nakamoto Post by: Puberty on January 18, 2015, 12:14:54 AM if it does happen it would likely be Gavin accepting. This. I believe Satoshi chose Gavin to be his successor: Quote from: Bitcoin.it Just before he left, he set up Gavin Andresen as his successor by giving him access to the Bitcoin SourceForge project and a copy of the alert key. Title: Re: Nobel Prize - Satoshi Nakamoto Post by: Flashman on January 18, 2015, 12:31:08 AM By the time that happens, I hope some of us are donating to the Nobel Foundation, so they've got something worth giving away... ... ...
Title: Re: Nobel Prize - Satoshi Nakamoto Post by: beatleap on January 18, 2015, 12:32:50 AM How does one get nominated for a nobel prize? can anyone nominate anyone? im unfamilar but Gavin & satoshi deserve it.

Fact is, there are tons of people who would want bitcoin to fail so much that all they want is to have bad publicity on bitcoin. they will do anything to stop the nobel prize nomination in the first place.
Title: Re: Nobel Prize - Satoshi Nakamoto Post by: Flashman on January 18, 2015, 01:29:35 AM Nobel committee has a tendency to be 10-20 even 30 years behind the curve in the sciences, when the progress the discovery made was obvious straight away. Since it's going to take a while to get them stuffy economics professors even mildly perturbed, I think it could be 10 years after BTC has had mass adoption before we'd even expect it would be considered.
Title: Re: Nobel Prize - Satoshi Nakamoto Post by: BADecker on January 18, 2015, 02:41:21 AM What would Satoshi want? He might be honored if he won the Nobel. But, as he seems to want anonymity, he probably would want anonymity with regard to the Nobel.
The thing Satoshi would like more than ever is, for us to make Bitcoin grow. How to do it? Some of us are already, by sharing with others, or by using it in business. The thing the rest of us need to do, myself included, is to get to work and do more. Anyway, I think that this is something that Satoshi would like way more than the Nobel Peace Prize. :) Title: Re: Nobel Prize - Satoshi Nakamoto Post by: grendel25 on January 18, 2015, 04:25:57 AM Lets face it, it won't be too long before Sweden will start talking about giving the Nobel Prize in Economics to Satoshi.

I never even thought about the Nobel prize and application to bitcoin. Bitcoin has been huge and spawned several other virtual currencies that have been responsible for fund raisers and have just helped so many people. There is a Nobel prize for economics and I definitely can see bitcoin fitting in to a nobel prize for economics. Title: Re: Nobel Prize - Satoshi Nakamoto Post by: johnyj on January 18, 2015, 05:01:59 AM Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences is not created by Nobel but Swedish central bank, do you think that banks will give the prize to their competitor? ;D
Title: Re: Nobel Prize - Satoshi Nakamoto Post by: MicroGuy on January 18, 2015, 05:18:54 AM Lets face it, it won't be too long before Sweden will start talking about giving the Nobel Prize in Economics to Satoshi. That is pretty much a certainty. Why would they give the prize to someone who vanished with 1 million Bitcoins at a time when the community needed him most? Title: Re: Nobel Prize - Satoshi Nakamoto Post by: zetaray on January 18, 2015, 05:51:31 AM When bitcoin has mass adoption, or blockchain technology succeeds in another area, Satoshi will be awarded the Nobel prize for economics. This would be at least 5 years away.
Title: Re: Nobel Prize - Satoshi Nakamoto Post by: chronicsky on January 18, 2015, 11:11:37 AM I think they shall rather just anounce him as the noble prize winner and make a showcase of the prize somehwere with all about Bitcoins
as like a "museum" , people will get to know of bitcoins that way and if Mr. Nakamoto ever decides to come up , he can just grab his award :-\ Title: Re: Nobel Prize - Satoshi Nakamoto Post by: newIndia on January 18, 2015, 11:17:53 AM Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences is not created by Nobel but Swedish central bank, do you think that banks will give the prize to their competitor? ;D Rather than looking for a prize, some of the bitcoin institutions may bond together to create a Nobel Memorial Prize in Decentralized Digital Currency.

Well Satoshi does deserve the nobel prize without any doughts but they can't give it to him since he is simply annonymus and he may never come back just like you said. and I don't think that Andreas M. Antonopoulos deserve the prize to be honest , if they should give it to someone else then Gavin the man for it Title: Re: Nobel Prize - Satoshi Nakamoto Post by: pozmu on January 18, 2015, 06:13:12 PM I thought he'll get this years prize.
In the event of his disappearance I think the Nobel Prize may be awarded to the Bitcoin itself just like European Union won Nobel Peace Prize in 2012.

Last year bitcoin emerged as the worst investment of the year.

Andreas is true father of bitcoin after satoshi and continues to be a great ambassador for the community now. I don't think it will happen. Just like he'll never be elected president...there are some things that won't happen to people who choose to remain anonymous…and I think he will remain so. Title: Re: Nobel Prize - Satoshi Nakamoto Post by: Divinespark on January 19, 2015, 12:49:30 AM Indeed, why not? surely a prize can be awarded to a pseudonymous hacker
Title: Re: Nobel Prize - Satoshi Nakamoto Post by: MacAndSwiss on January 19, 2015, 02:46:08 AM I doubt that Satoshi or any bitcoin people will be receiving a Nobel Prize until bitcoin gets internationally noticed. It has, but people need more trust in it.

Title: Re: Nobel Prize - Satoshi Nakamoto Post by: johnyj on January 19, 2015, 05:24:21 AM It is more likely to be a Satoshi price for future economists
Title: Re: Nobel Prize - Satoshi Nakamoto Post by: bornil267645 on January 19, 2015, 12:38:44 PM Satoshi Nakamoto should win the nobel prize in peace, because he helped to remove the Banker tension out of people mind....somewhat :P :P :P

Is it even under their protocol to award a non-identified person? I'm not doubting Bitcoin's potential to win Noble prize, I just don't think it will be given to a person whose real identity is still unknown. Title: Re: Nobel Prize - Satoshi Nakamoto Post by: sifter on January 19, 2015, 12:42:14 PM Satoshi caused more destruction than peace.
Look at what he's done to cex :D Title: Re: Nobel Prize - Satoshi Nakamoto Post by: croato on January 19, 2015, 01:00:21 PM I bet there will be Nobel prize when world discover true potential of blockchain technology. Not sure who will get prize and when but Satoshi deserve it no matter if he is one person or group.
Title: Re: Nobel Prize - Satoshi Nakamoto Post by: ipoop2much on January 19, 2015, 04:57:36 PM I thought he already received one in 1994?

Title: Re: Nobel Prize - Satoshi Nakamoto Post by: Blazr on January 19, 2015, 09:58:04 PM I don't think Satoshi will win it. I think Ross Ulbricht will for his "economic experiment" Silk Road.
Title: Re: Nobel Prize - Satoshi Nakamoto Post by: AtheistAKASaneBrain on January 19, 2015, 11:51:43 PM I may be missing something, but why Sweden in particular, would be interested in doing that? I don't get it.
In any case Andreas should recieve the price, unless Satoshi himself wants to break his anonymity, which is highly unlikely.

The day Satoshi breaks his anonymity is the day that the USD and Ruble have a 1:1 trade ratio.
