Post by: FreeMoney on November 30, 2012, 11:48:53 PM I think going hundreds of years into the future more people will be remembered by someone but way fewer people from long ago will be know by nearly everyone. I guess this based on an expectation of better recording methods and growing diversity (there will be an ancient cryptographers of the early 21st century fan club).

Post by: Jaw3bmasters on December 01, 2012, 09:05:08 AM Isn't Satoshi a pseudonym?
Where's the immortality in that? Title: Re: Will Satoshi achieve the immortality of Shakespeare? Post by: toffoo on December 01, 2012, 09:08:24 AM Let's put it this way: who is the most famous other ANONYMOUS person (besides Satoshi) that you can name?
Title: Re: Will Satoshi achieve the immortality of Shakespeare? Post by: crazy_rabbit on December 01, 2012, 09:09:35 AM I doubt it. Few people know the names of the geniuses behind our current monetary system, which although not-functional in many ways, really enabled all modern innovation and thus- spectacularly important to the development of humankind. Yet they are by and large nameless.
Satoshi will be the same, in the bitcoin-success future- people won't know why a satoshi is called a satoshi, much like how most people never think of Watt (the person) when they look at the watts of a lightbulb. Shakespeare however gets whole english classes and a significant portion of most school sylabus. So my answer is No. Title: Re: Will Satoshi achieve the immortality of Shakespeare?
