If that's even his name. Just read the bitcoin wiki on him and I'm amazed. Nobody knows him.
Long time passed since he last posted in here. Why? "Busy"? I don't think so. He was active when bitcoin needed support but since the slashdot...
Also, it seems has knowledge in many areas, especially economy. He doesn't act like the average human. Not taking advantage out of his creation, leaving without telling anything. Is he even a single person or a group?
How can someone create something so great and not stepping out to get the credit?
I think 2009 is one of the memorable year in the history of human welfare and specifically for those atleast who are big fans of crypto currencies as it was the year when almost all the crypto currencies were introduced and one of the finest invention out of all the crypto currencies was the bitcoin and SATOSHI NAKAMOTO is considered behind the invention, though nobody has saw him or met him yet but people use to say that he use to talk to his investors through social networking sites and once in my life I would like to meet him. |

For almost a week the crypto market has maintained a certain support level and ride in a range. Many thoght we where in the mist of a bull run until the last 24hours whend price declined further down.
Now what you think will happen next? Bull or Bear? I think we will see more bear trends till maybe in December when it could hold on a certain price to continue declining by January.
What do you think?
I have been told and everyone who starts investing into crypto, they all told that same thing so that they could minimise their loses in cryand that thing is that crypto currencies are highly volatile in nature and their valuation is subject to flactuation and varies according to market demand and supply so if you are a newbie then it is advisable to be very wise and patience while investing into crypto as you have to be very precise with when to buy, sell or to hold your coin, as the valuation is very low these times, so this is the time to hold and then there are assumptions for having pump very soon. |

Hello. I want to hear your opinion. Cryptocurrency is a bubble? How long will it last? Is it worth continuing to invest in it?
A decade ago a news came that the crypto currencies that has been introduced are the biggest bubble and it could burst anytime, some called it a scam or some called it Ponzi scheme and every one was in against of it but then there were very few people who took stand and invested into bitcoin and u won’t believe that they are today’s bitcoin billionaires and we guys are reading their success stories so I think that time and now also, those who are calling crypto a bubble are the morons. |

Hi Friends,
What are the reason behind Bitcoin and whole crypto market fall.
Is this SCAMS or SPECULATIONS???
Few days back I read news about a big Bitcoin scam busted in Gujarat state of India.Its approximately $314B( INR 22000 Crore).
Also every day news came from different parts of world about same kind of scams.Are these scams also responsible for crypto market fall and halt growth of this new technology???
****Note(02/09/2018):- Hi Friends,
Thanks for the discussion.I just want to clear few points that I never call Bitcoin a scam.I am just highlighting a news published in a top most news paper of my country.Bitcoin is used to scam people by BitConnect.Latest update about this scam is much more money involved.
From that news following points came into light:
1) A big chunk of money disappear from market because scammer run with that money.
2) The investors who already invested never think or maybe hesitate to invest again.New investors if came across this news try to avoid this market.
3) Because of these kinds of scams RBI and Govt. of India try to restrict transactions related this market which intern affect this market.
I read same kind of scam cases came into light from different countries like Indonesia, Malaysia,Thailand, Japan, Canada UK etc....
I also read a news that many prominent crypto exchanges and crypto personalities joining hands to ride out these kind of scams.I hope they will succeed in their mission.
More over this post is not to panic any one but to discuss and spread awareness about this new market.
I think we all are aware with the volatile nature of all the crypto currencies as when I was a newbie I have been told that I have to be very much patience and wise while investing into bitcoin as these currencies are very much volatile in nature so it’s va is subject to flactuation and varies according to market demand and supply and as we all know that the valuation of bitcoin was sky high in the last December’s month and then started deflating with the beginning of this year so being volatile there expected a another pump in the valuation in the next coming months. |

A blood bath we are a taken...or are we?
I would like to add my 2 satoshi's to the madhouse of speculations, sky is falling, doom and gloom we are seeing, feeling and sick over.
First, if you had no plans of cashing out today, you have nothing to worry about. If you took your rent money to buy btc, you might want to look for a second job and/or a tent. But have no fears, bitcoin will be back.
Second, if you're in this for a fast buck with no hard work, good luck on that one.
Third, always and I mean always talk in satoshi value.
Fourth, there was a generation that only dreamed of making 7% off their retirement stash after paying 40 years into that fund. Today, this generation expects it within weeks...sad
Fifth, bitcoin will find a way, it always does. The blockchain is a living , breathing idea that no person, government or space alien can stop. When the blockchain space gets filled up with scammers and selfish people, the blockchain shakes those people out. This is what's happening now.
In closing, remember what your why was when you entered this space. Maybe this is a perfect time to x out the market and dig into the core "why" bitcoin came to be.
Bitcoin will find a way.
A decade ago in 2009, bitcoin was introduced and at that time it was completely unknown to the people like an alien technology and so it was indigestible for the people the potential of bitcoin that how could it be so beneficial so they started calling it a Ponzi scheme or a bubble that would burst soon but there were few people who believed on it and now they are the bitcoin billionaires and since then bitcoin has made tremendous progress and now there are millions of people around the world who are investing into bitcoin so no doubt that bitcoin always make its way. |

There are many rich person on this earth day bill gates, mark zukerberg , Ambani’s and many more and somewhere all these people are related with bitcoin and if talking seriously then somewhere bitcoin is a key to success now a days and if not now then definitely in the future as bitcoin has very great fate and potential and therefore it is able to provide good employment to millions of people around the world and there are even examples of bitcoin billionaires who has become rich by just investing into bitcoin only. |

Is buying BTC currently a good idea, or should I be going with ethereum?
Pls suggest...
This is the same question asked by millions of people about a decade ago that should they buy bitcoin but they were pulled back by some morons as they were told that bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme or a bubble that would burst soon but instead of all these, there were very few people who believed on brand now they are the bitcoin billionaires and after that people started understanding the fate and potential of bitcoin and now there are millions of people around the world who are investing into bitcoin so don’t ask and just invest into bitcoin. |

How could war affect crypto?
I think the war would have some positive impact on the valuation of crypto currencies, as we all know that war is destructive and massive and the most important thing that the war would effect is economy of any country and as the central currency of any country get down then people and government of that country started searching for other option and then crypto will be the only option as it is the future currency and is much superior than all the currencies available in the market. |

Often times when people win the lottery, they get to excited and take rash decisions on the spot. These decisions taken on the spot can make or mar them. However, majority of them take decisions that make them go back to square one after some years. Study has shown that lotto winners tend to go broke after a while. So, in order to avoid going from grass to grace to grass, follow this easy steps on what to do when you win the lottery. KEEP QUIETThe first thing to do when you win the lottery is to keep quiet. Don’t go about telling your children, cousins, best friends, loud mouthed neighbors, your boss, colleagues at work and every one you believe would be happy for you. The only person that should know about your winnings is your spouse. Telling too many people about it will only lead to poor decision making- due to different advises. So for the first few months, keep quiet and make your plans with a clear head. GET A LAWYER AND FINANCIAL ADVISER You can’t go wrong if you make these two guys your best friends. At this point in your life, you really need to walk hand in hand with them so that they can help you make good decisions. I am sure you wouldn’t want to declare bankruptcy after few years of winning, therefore make sure you don’t skip this crucial step. STRATEGIES BEFORE MAKING DECISIONSBeing strategic will help you not to make the same mistakes thousands of lottery winners have made in the past. » Do you need to change your car? No. » Do you need to start wearing designer wears? No. » Do you need to quit your job? No. » You don’t need any of these in the first 6 months. Find more about Crypto Lottery here: WEBSITE: TELEGRAM:Winning a lottery is a very big think and I think this is the time when you have to make make one of the wisest decision of your life as more the people you will tell about your winning, more are the chances you will get looted so the foremost thing you should do is to keep quiet and don’t tell anyone and then the second thing you should do is to hire a financial advisor as he can help you the best what to do with that money and then you are luckiest person if you won a lottery. |

Do you think Satoshi wanted the market to grow that much? So many different companies, ICO's, different opinions etc...
Bitcoin was introduced in 2009 and SATOSHI NAKAMOTO is the inventor behind the invention but there are assumptions only that he is the inventor as there is no assurity that he is the inventor as no one has met him yet and he used to talk to his investors only on the social networking sites but in my point of view of he exists or ever existed, then he would be very happy with the growth of bitcoin and if I got chance once in my life then I would like to meet him. |

So we all know BTC drops when people sell their coins... but the peaking is purely because of investments... The mall in S.Korea that started accepting BTC as of this month played a massive roll in BTC's growth. Obviously this is because BTC's awareness is growing! Surely there are ways to bring the awareness of cryto to the population. Are there any other 'blow ups' of crypto that you have heard of? Similar to the mall... What are you doing to spread the awareness?  There was a time a decade ago when bitcoin was like alien technology to everyone and then nobody believed on it and they started calling it a Ponzi scheme or a bubble that would burst soon but there were very few people who believed on bitcoin and now they are the bitcoin billionaires and after that people started getting the potential of bitcoin but still there are people who doesn’t know about the bitcoin as in many remote areas where there is no access to internet so for them awareness is the biggest influence. |

How many celebrities or high profile individuals do you know of that owns and support Bitcoin? I think if we can get some high profile users, we might get some good exposure going forward. When Playboy started out, they realized that they should start the magazine with a BANG, so they bought nude pictures of the most well known person in the world at the time and put her on the front page. <--- Marilyn Monroe ... This put them on the map and they built a global empire. Who will be our Marilyn Monroe? So far we have had some high profile users like Mike Tyson and Ashton Kutcher, but we need a globally recognized ambassador for Bitcoin... our very own, Marilyn Monroe.  Source : http://www.coindesk.com/10-celebrities-investing-using-talking-bitcoin/Now in present bitcoin is the very huge and the most potentiating crypto currency and now there are millions of people around the world who are investing in bitcoin, from having millions of haters a decade ago to millions of investors now, bitcoin has made tremendous progress and now people started getting the potential of wand now being getting benefited by it and the Indian celebrity that I know who has earned crores from bitcoin is Bollywood king, Amitabh bacchan, who has earned crores from bitcoin. |

Hello guys ! I'm going to write the main things you need to do to protect yours bitcoins & altcoins. First of all , let me advice you something: If you hold less than 1.5/2 BTC , do not buy a ledger wallet or others stuffs like that. For me , it's a lake of money , really.So , let me introduce you the differents ways to hold your cryptocurencies. (from the safest to the less safe) : - 1 : Ledger .
I won't introduce more Ledger , Google is your friend. - 2 : Mobile Application :
Bread !
Really easy to use , and it's safe , with 2FA Authentificator , for example. - 3 : Desktop Wallet !
If you want to use it , just go on the website of your cryptocurrencies , and look for the desktop wallets !
For example , for bitcoin , electrum is really good !
Just do some research if you want to know !
Ps: Desktop Wallet could be safer than a mobile application if the computer isn't connected to internet ! (the goal of the computer is only to store cryptocurencies : no virus !  ) - 4: Exchanges :
The worst way to store yours cryptocurencies ... Store in exchanges , like Binance , ....
If you do that , PLEASE , follow this rules :
- Use a strong Password ! (symbols , nombers , letters )
- Use 2FA AUTHENTIFICATOR
Have a nice day guys ! Bitcoin always promises its users to provide the safest and the most confidential transactions and I think this is the most probable reason that why millions of people are investing into bitcoin as they have the feeling that they are investing in right place and in the future they will get some profit, as we all know that bitcoin transactions does not involve any third party seizure so no third person has the right to see the transaction between the two and thus it provides user anonymity and the next thing is that never share your keys and passwords to any one, keep them very confidential. |

With so many new blockchains coming on a daily basis, do you think there will also be a time when government will decide to open a public blockchain ? If yes, would they prefer to operate identity based blockchain or something else ?
If governments own identity based blockchain, government will be able to monetize this data and help the world become tax free ? Anyways people are talking about 'basic universal income' in the world of Artifical Intelligence (future).
Do you think that instead of asking taxes from public, government will give them the money in return of their basic data to be stored on the blockchain ??
Afterall, what sense does it make in the current system if someone goes to a bar and shows a driving license ? The bartender doesnt needs to know your address - on the driving license.. He just needs to know whether you are 18 plus or not... May be he can just run a check on government based blockchain in future?
We all know that bitcoin is a decentralised crypto currency and thus no proper authentic regulating body over the bitcoin leads to its illegal use and it is the most probable reason that why millions of are in against of bitcoin but in this decade bitcoin has made a tremendous progress, from having millions of haters to millions of investors bitcoin has travelled a long journey and in this journey millions of people understood the potential of bitcoin and came in favour of it, so now there are countries who has legalised bitcoin in their nation and the time when bitcoin will be centralised all over the world. |

Who is Satoshi Nakamoto ?Satoshi Nakamoto is a talented cipher and coder.
Wrote the whitepaper on bitcoin "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System" and published it on the cypherpunks mailing list in October 2008
Developed the code for bitcoin and founded https://bitcointalk.org
He used an e-mail address and a web site that is untraceable.
In 2009 and 2010, he wrote hundreds of posts in flawless English.
He invited other software developers to help him improve the code, and corresponded with them,
He never revealed any personal details.
Stefan Thomas, a Swiss coder and active community member, graphed the time stamps for each of Nakamoto's bitcoin forum posts and found:
He made almost no posts between the hours of 5 a.m. and 11 a.m. Greenwich Mean Time.
In April, 2011, he sent a note to a developer saying that he had “moved on to other things.” He has not been heard from since.
His birthday is said to be on April 5, 1975 according to this post.
(But it is likely that he didn't select his real birth-date)
His writing is clean, with few typos.
He shows a high proficiency in English. Making very few mistakes.
After his first post, in which he used American spelling, he switched to English spelling for all the rest. From: "Satoshi Nakamoto" < satoshi@anonymousspeech.com> Sent: Friday, August 22, 2008 4:38 PM To: "Wei Dai" < weidai@ibiblio.org> Cc: "Satoshi Nakamoto" < satoshi@anonymousspeech.com> Subject: Citation of your b-money page I was very interested to read your b-money page. I'm getting ready to release a paper that expands on your ideas into a complete working system. Adam Back (hashcash.org) noticed the similarities and pointed me to your site. I need to find out the year of publication of your b-money page for the citation in my paper. It'll look like: [1] W. Dai, "b-money," http://www.weidai.com/bmoney.txt, (2006?). You can download a pre-release draft at http://www.upload.ae/file/6157/ecash-pdf.html Feel free to forward it to anyone else you think would be interested. Title: Electronic Cash Without a Trusted Third Party Abstract: A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without the burdens of going through a financial institution. Digital signatures offer part of the solution, but the main benefits are lost if a trusted party is still required to prevent double-spending. We propose a solution to the double-spending problem using a peer-to-peer network. The network timestamps transactions by hashing them into an ongoing chain of hash-based proof-of-work, forming a record that cannot be changed without redoing the proof-of-work. The longest chain not only serves as proof of the sequence of events witnessed, but proof that it came from the largest pool of CPU power. As long as honest nodes control the most CPU power on the network, they can generate the longest chain and outpace any attackers. The network itself requires minimal structure. Messages are broadcasted on a best effort basis, and nodes can leave and rejoin the network at will, accepting the longest proof-of-work chain as proof of what happened while they were gone. Satoshi Was Satoshi a good coder ? It was pretty good: I'd give it a grade of B+. The worst problem was that there were only a few, huge files, but if you ignored that then it made a lot of sense. It was written in (then-)modern C++, clearly with a lot of care. It was clearly not written in a stream-of-consciousness manner. There were very few bugs that you could blame on lack of programming skill.
My personal suspicion in this area is that Satoshi was never (or not recently) a full-time programmer, but he was pretty familiar with computer science (maybe a student or academic?), and he'd read some comprehensive C++ book just before starting on Bitcoin, so he made full and correct usage of C++ features in a slightly messy way.
Someone hacked Satoshis email account to try and discover who he is: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2062951.0There are websites dedicated to preserving the writings of Satoshi Nakamoto: https://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/http://satoshinakamoto.me/The Dai / Nakamoto Emails: https://www.gwern.net/docs/bitcoin/2008-nakamotoSatoshi Nakamoto translated (meaning) https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@decentro/satoshi-nakamoto-a-comprehensive-translation-of-an-enigma https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=399281.msg4336076#msg4336076Lots of people have been suspected of being Satoshi:People who corresponded with him have all been named as suspects: Hal Finney, Martti Malmi, Adam Back, Michael Marquardt, Gavin Andresen and Wei Dai. But in doing so are we minimising those individuals own contribution to Bitcoin.
They may not be the founder but they are the apostles.
Bitcoin is a collaboration of efforts based on a combination of ideas all consolidated in this whitepaper
It was then executed by a group of individuals, both identified and anonymous.
Many threads with some compelling arguments have been made about it. I'm not going to duplicate the theories but have instead provided the links to various theories on here:People or organisations that have been suspected of being Satoshi: Charles Bry, David Chaum, Neal J.

Hello my name is Mobasher , This is my first post at Bitcointalk.org . I am new on this crypto planet . And searched google "The Best Forum for Cryto currency" and guess what found this awesome place. After entering my first board was "Bitcoin Discussion" , There i saw some repeatative questions and answers. Yes i am a newbie. But i have average knowledge about the market environment. But i found some questions here like - (I am not saying these are too silly questions to ask) Time to buy? Token goes down. Wait or sell? Hold or sell ? What is the best time to enter the market ? I think these questions got no real answers. If there is any regulated answer it has to be dependent on that situation. There is no exact time to enter market. No body could say this is the best time to enter the market. Yes you could gather information all around and detect the future by analyzing the token's characteristics. It is never past the point where it is possible to put effort and capital into cryptocurrency, in light of the fact that everybody comprehends that the development of cryptocurrency is inescapable. It is a long process. Actually we all have knowledge about the market. But for mental stability and satisfaction we use these terms. To get releif . BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY WE HEAR WHAT WE WANTED TO HEAR. THATS THE BOTTOM LINE. After opening account i could not post here , i don't know why ? (May be the server was down) People stills fighting for Merit in the Meta thread i saw. How to get merits guys ? Can anyone help me ? I think we all are aware with this volatile nature of bitcoin and this is the reason for the flactuation in the valuation of bitcoin and I have been told this thing since when I was a newbie and I was told to remember this thing till I invest into bitcoin, so we all know that the valuation of bitcoin was sky high in the last December’s month and then started deflating in the beginning of this year so till now it is deflated so this is the right time to invest into bitcoin, if you have not invested yet and for those who already owning bitcoin, this is the time to hold and wait for the next pump. |

The start-up Sirin and the electronics giant Foxconn are planning a smartphone with a built-in digital wallet. This should be much easier - but the mobile phone will not be cheap.
Virtual money like Bitcoin and the smartphone - this is not a real love, on the contrary. Recently, there have been increasing warnings that cybercriminals are not only attacking PCs to illegally dig cryptocurrencies, but also mobile phones. Now a start-up and a large contract manufacturer want to make it clear to the consumer that the combination of Bitcoin and smartphone can also have their good and safe sides.
The Swiss-Israel company Sirin Labs and the Taiwanese electronics giant Foxconn, which among other things manufactures iPhones for Apple, are planning the first smartphone with blockchain technology. So with the technology that forms the basis of all virtual currencies. Thus, the crypto will finally mass market suitable, says Sirin founder and co-CEO Moshe Hogeg. The device, jointly developed by Sirin and Foxconn called Finney is said to facilitate transactions with digital money and provide protection against hacker attacks.
Use physical switches to access the wallet
The two companies are counting on the fact that there are currently millions of Bitcoin owners, but only a few use Bitcoin for day-to-day business. The complicated technology makes this unattractive. To prevent theft, Bitcoin payers must keep their assets on special memory sticks until needed. Then remember to remember complicated usernames and passwords that can be many characters long. An uncomfortable thing that gets in the way of a really big spread. "No chance my mother will find out how to use Bitcoin. And my mother is smart, "says Sirin boss Hogeg.
MORE ON THE SUBJECT
With a smartphone that basically everyone can carry in their pocket, everything should be much easier. With the Blockchain mobile phone, for example, users should be able to shop on crypto-friendly websites. This promises a high level of security. Finney devices - under this brand, smartphones and PCs are planned - are the first to rely on the applicable as uncrackable Blockchain Technik. They run under the widespread mobile operating system Android, in conjunction with special cybersecurity technologies. With the help of its own physical switch, the owners should be able to cut off online access to the built-in digital purse ("wallet") and thus hinder hacker attacks. This so-called "cold wallet" is considered safer than a "hot wallet" that can be accessed anytime via the internet.
Competitors are also involved
Sirin has already raised hundreds of millions of dollars in project development from investors: 158 million USD in December, and another 70 million USD recently. The Bitcoin smartphone is expected to hit the market in October 2018. First, it wants to market it through its own stores, later on via telecommunications companies. The device is not cheap. Initially, 999 USD are targeted; Later, license agreements with other cell phone producers should push this price down to 200 USD. Among other things, Sirin is in talks with Huawei.
Meanwhile, others have discovered the charm of a blockchain phone - competitors like Zippie and Bitvault. Nevertheless, analysts rate the prospects of success quite ambiguous. On the one hand, the use of Bitcoin is still very limited, on the other hand, there is a danger of constantly carrying its virtual money with it. Criminals could kidnap Finney owners and forcibly gain access to the virtual wallets, so the fear.

Who is Satoshi Nakamoto ?Satoshi Nakamoto is a talented cipher and coder.
Wrote the whitepaper on bitcoin "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System" and published it on the cypherpunks mailing list in October 2008
Developed the code for bitcoin and founded https://bitcointalk.org
He used an e-mail address and a web site that is untraceable.
In 2009 and 2010, he wrote hundreds of posts in flawless English.
He invited other software developers to help him improve the code, and corresponded with them,
He never revealed any personal details.
Stefan Thomas, a Swiss coder and active community member, graphed the time stamps for each of Nakamoto's bitcoin forum posts and found:
He made almost no posts between the hours of 5 a.m. and 11 a.m. Greenwich Mean Time.
In April, 2011, he sent a note to a developer saying that he had “moved on to other things.” He has not been heard from since.
His birthday is said to be on April 5, 1975 according to this post.
(But it is likely that he didn't select his real birth-date)
His writing is clean, with few typos.
He shows a high proficiency in English. Making very few mistakes.
After his first post, in which he used American spelling, he switched to English spelling for all the rest. From: "Satoshi Nakamoto" < satoshi@anonymousspeech.com> Sent: Friday, August 22, 2008 4:38 PM To: "Wei Dai" < weidai@ibiblio.org> Cc: "Satoshi Nakamoto" < satoshi@anonymousspeech.com> Subject: Citation of your b-money page I was very interested to read your b-money page. I'm getting ready to release a paper that expands on your ideas into a complete working system. Adam Back (hashcash.org) noticed the similarities and pointed me to your site. I need to find out the year of publication of your b-money page for the citation in my paper. It'll look like: [1] W. Dai, "b-money," http://www.weidai.com/bmoney.txt, (2006?). You can download a pre-release draft at http://www.upload.ae/file/6157/ecash-pdf.html Feel free to forward it to anyone else you think would be interested. Title: Electronic Cash Without a Trusted Third Party Abstract: A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without the burdens of going through a financial institution. Digital signatures offer part of the solution, but the main benefits are lost if a trusted party is still required to prevent double-spending. We propose a solution to the double-spending problem using a peer-to-peer network. The network timestamps transactions by hashing them into an ongoing chain of hash-based proof-of-work, forming a record that cannot be changed without redoing the proof-of-work. The longest chain not only serves as proof of the sequence of events witnessed, but proof that it came from the largest pool of CPU power. As long as honest nodes control the most CPU power on the network, they can generate the longest chain and outpace any attackers. The network itself requires minimal structure. Messages are broadcasted on a best effort basis, and nodes can leave and rejoin the network at will, accepting the longest proof-of-work chain as proof of what happened while they were gone. Satoshi Was Satoshi a good coder ? It was pretty good: I'd give it a grade of B+. The worst problem was that there were only a few, huge files, but if you ignored that then it made a lot of sense. It was written in (then-)modern C++, clearly with a lot of care. It was clearly not written in a stream-of-consciousness manner. There were very few bugs that you could blame on lack of programming skill.
My personal suspicion in this area is that Satoshi was never (or not recently) a full-time programmer, but he was pretty familiar with computer science (maybe a student or academic?), and he'd read some comprehensive C++ book just before starting on Bitcoin, so he made full and correct usage of C++ features in a slightly messy way.
Someone hacked Satoshis email account to try and discover who he is: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2062951.0There are websites dedicated to preserving the writings of Satoshi Nakamoto: https://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/http://satoshinakamoto.me/The Dai / Nakamoto Emails: https://www.gwern.net/docs/bitcoin/2008-nakamotoSatoshi Nakamoto translated (meaning) https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@decentro/satoshi-nakamoto-a-comprehensive-translation-of-an-enigmahttps://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=399281.msg4336076#msg4336076Lots of people have been suspected of being Satoshi:People who corresponded with him have all been named as suspects: Hal Finney, Martti Malmi, Adam Back, Michael Marquardt, Gavin Andresen and Wei Dai. But in doing so are we minimising those individuals own contribution to Bitcoin.
They may not be the founder but they are the apostles.
Bitcoin is a collaboration of efforts based on a combination of ideas all consolidated in this whitepaper
It was then executed by a group of individuals, both identified and anonymous.
Many threads with some compelling arguments have been made about it. I'm not going to duplicate the theories but have instead provided the links to various theories on here:People or organisations that have been suspected of being Satoshi: Charles Bry, David Chaum, Neal J.

Such demonstrations can be stage-managed; and information that allows us to go through the verification process independently was provided too late for us to do so fully. Still, as far as we can tell he indeed seems to be in possession of the keys, at least for block 9. This assessment is shared by two bitcoin insiders who have sat through the same demonstration: Jon Matonis, a bitcoin consultant and former director of the Bitcoin Foundation, and Gavin Andresen
https://ftalphaville.ft.com/2016/05/02/2160632/oh-my-craig-wrights-keys-of-revelation/This in combination to the claims made in the Dave Kleiman Estate lawsuit against Craig Wright makes Dave Kleiman the current most plausible suspect.Craig Wright filed a motion to dismissBut I'm still skeptical of the claim because it is reliant on Craig Wrights testimony.

The current situation has caused me to hold huge sum of money that I intended putting into btc and altcoins. I know once btc jump, altcoins does same.
So the question is can anyone predict the price of btc for the next month? To enable me invest...
We all are aware with this fact that bitcoin is a volatile crypto currency and then a part of investment so both these factors contributes a lot in flactuation of valuation of bitcoin, as it varies according to market demand and supply and we also are aware with the sky high valuation of bitcoin in the last December’s month then it started deflating with the beginning of this year but not to worry at all , as there are assumptions that there is about to come a pump after this deflation period. |
