Bitcoin Forum

I found this twitter handle a few months ago
which claims to be own by the founder "Satoshi Nakamoto" and I've been following it ever since.

What are your thoughts... I know there are lots of "Faketoshi(s)" out there ;D

Of course it's not the real satoshi.

He or they disappeared. He probably planned to disappear.

So bitcoin could be free of him, and decentralized.

On the other hand you have Vitalik's blockchain, ethereum. Centralized on him.

That's not his real twitter, and don't search for him, you will only get scammed at the most.
His real profile is this one:

He made many posts before disappearing.

Just looked at the Joined Date, and why would Satoshi suddenly shows after so many years of "hiding". So its obviously fake and no matter how many times we dig into Satoshi, the more we won't find him.

Forget it. Of course it's fake and just trying to fool people and which obviously got you. ;D
Don't bother to find the real identity of Satoshi Nakamoto because he made sure that he didn't leave any trace and being pseudonym is something that we should value in cryptos.

Since there's a lot ''Faketoshi'' that i already found, i can't trust any 'satoshi' thing so easily, such as his identity or his social media and i guess that twitter is fake too, i guess he create that account just to get some followers and probably someday he will sell his twitter or do something fishy. I remember got spam email that claim if he is satoshi in the past, and he said if he can double my bitcoin in 24 hours, pfft.

You think in advance.  :D
Probably what you said is true. People tend to get caught by clickbaits like that. There are also similar cases on facebook where they get more likes on their page by using a popular personality name and then change it once it gathers a number of followers/likers. I think this is the method that social media seller /promoter do.

Anyway, OP, yes, that account is fake. Satoshi didn't go into hiding for the last years then just create a twitterbhandle just so he can let himself be known.

yeah, sure.
Satoshi stayed anonymous for 9 years and kept his privacy then all of a sudden he decided to come out on Twitter and with his name and then keep advertising a website called nakamotostudies [dot] org which is a bitcoin-cash advertising website! LOL

Haha... that's very funny, actually :D
Don't tell me this is another trick by the bcash boys.

The Twitter account is still newly created, of course it is a fake account from Satoshi Nakamoto, as we know there are so many fake Satoshi accounts, they create fake accounts and make it look like it's genuine to spread hoaxes.

I don't think so.

Yep. It is very funny. We all know that Satoshi Nakamoto is a pseudonym and or anonymous figure. So, no wonder, many people attempt and claims to be Satoshi Nakamoto...

let satoshi be a mystery ... I'm not sure this is Twitter. because he made sure that he did not leave a trace and was a disguise is something we must value in cryptos.

did you even have to ask?!
it is so obvious that I feel silly saying NO! just because someone has a username called "Satoshi" on some platform and is talking about bitcoin doesn't mean they are real Satoshi. and so far everyone who has used this name after Satoshi's disappearance has been using it to scam people. in other words to perform identity fraud.

I don't think this is not Satoshi's real Twitter account. He left many years ago and has not appeared in the media since then, so why should he do it now? He's cheating. IMHO

This is just a joke. It will never be the account of Satoshi Nakamoto. I saw the registration date is May this year.

There are so many fakes. AS I hear he has no social media so I would suggest doing some more research first. don't believe everything you see online

Well everybody can claim that he is satoshi nakamoto through internet and even in the real world, you know many fakers nowadays so we should not believe and I think that account just made for fun trying to be real satoshi nakamoto.

people who keep pointing out the sign up date on twitter have to realize that this has nothing to do with the sign up date. whether that account started in 2008-9 or 2018 makes no difference. what makes it fake is the fact that apart from the name this account has nothing to do with Satsohi and if it did then it would have started by providing a cryptography proof of identity already.

I think this ID is fake because all the tweets before 15 may deleted. How is it possible there is no any tweet before 15 may and suddenly he started twitting.

Also, Satoshi would have had been active first in his account here in bitcointalk if he wanted to go back discussing his invention. IMO, he would not suddenly use twitter out of the blue to discuss it without hearing something from his account here. Also, he can provide the latest posts that he made if he really was the real Satoshi, not just old messages of Satoshi which can be accessed easily by the public.

I think that's right because I just made this twitter 2018 done so many people would like to take a bit because the whole bitcoin if satoshi nakamoto create bitcoin.

I believe it's not.

Nope, it's not A real ID do not follow the ID because Someone sharing there face Links that can be dangerous for you.

i think thats not real satoshi because as we know the person like him is never public himself because its dangerous if he get a badthings doing by a bad people outside

Of course it is not,satoshi is anonymous,nobody knows anything about him or her.i really think all these news about satoshi popping up everyday is highly unnecessary,he disappeared so bitcoin and Altcoins could remain decentralized,i think we should leave it that way.So let's stop believing all this fake news

LOL, NO he joined twitter on may 2018, that means only to increase the popularity of his account

See what a little bit of research reveals if a person is real or not. That goes to show how people here will expose scams like it was throwing baseballs into a pitcher who would miss batting it. I believe that until the last bitcoin is mined, we will never see even a shadow of this Satoshi Nakamoto guy. Like never ever. He will forever be just a personality behind the whitepaper of bitcoin and no one will ever see how he looks at everyone. He may be laughing right now, or he may be just sitting drinking some tea. Nobody knows.

Satoshi can not be careless enough to show his face in this time that governments are desperate to see him. I think the handle is fake and I think it is made by only one of these regular scammers.

It used to be quite easy to social engineer and "hack" twitter accounts, I know because I used to speak with the guys that would do it and sell them. I really doubt this is the original satoshi, I mean how often does somebody actually get their first name on Twitter? For example, do you think twitter.com/vitalik is Vitalik Buterin? No, it's not. This is likely a pretender.

To be honest now a lot of people to sign up for this alias and it is not clear where reality and where it is not true ! Know that only on forum there is the official account in which I am confident !

Because someone has a username called "Satoshi" on some platform and is talking about bitcoin does not mean that they are actually Satoshi. I do not think this is the real Twitter account of Satoshi. He cheated. It will never be the account of Satoshi Nakamoto. Everyone can say that he is satoshi nakamoto over the internet and even in the real world, you know many fans today so we should not believe and i think the account just makes fun Try to become real satoshi nakamoto.

I think that if you want, you can find hundreds of such "real" Satoshi Nakamoto and Vitalik Buterin not only on Twitter but also on Facebook and any other social network.
