2361  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshi likes Pokemon and possibly where the pseudonymous is derived from on: November 24, 2022, 11:35:34 PM
It really amaze me on how human mind can create lots of possibilities.  The imagination of people especially those who bored and has nothing to do is quite astonishing.  Imagine, from the given link above, how people connect a pokemon card to Bitcoin, I wonder how they decipher the messages on that card connecting it to Bitcoin Roll Eyes
Well, when I've watched the episode and as a bitcoin folk, it made me thought about it as we know satoshi only by his name and with all of those theories and conspiracies. It's got into my mind. That's it's a probably and a theory.

Seriously though, we don't see any connection whatsoever about Pokemon and Satoshi and bitcoin.
I just thought of the name and until Welsh have said that it's a common name, that ticked my mind and did my research as well and saw that it's a common name in Japan. I don't know about that since I'm not a japanese.

This has been talked about before and was considered a big possibility. I mean pokemon may have been a kiddie thing when it first started, but Satoshi could be a young person when pokemon first started as well. I am not saying he would be a 5 year old, that would make him 30 right now and under 20 when he created bitcoin which is a possibility but unlikely.

But, even if he is literally 50-60 year old guy, nearly 30 years ago means he was in his 30's and that is not an old age to watch anime (I should know lol) which is why it’s totally a possibility. Also let’s remember, he didn't had to pick that name right away, he has been working on stuff like this since 90's so it means he would be picking the name a lot earlier when pokemon was even more popular.
That's it, it made me outright thought of it so quick just because I saw his name and surprisingly as someone who's been watching this anime when I was younger. I have never thought that his japanese name is satoshi thus, satoshi, the real one might have just picked this name as we don't know what's his real nationality.

@OP having a subtitled name Satoshi doesn't necessarily mean it is Satoshi Nakamoto and has a connection to Bitcoin.  The Wikipedia link shown by @suzanne5223  clearly stated who that Satoshi is.
Yes, I know that and I've only seen a reference without Ash Ketchum's japanese version of surname but only name, satoshi. It's on the original post that I've made. I'm not saying that there's direct connection to bitcoin and pokemon but satoshi and the probable reference where it's taken as a pseudonymous.

According to our wiki, "Satoshi" means wisdom or reason, and "Nakamoto" central source. He might had picked those words for a purpose, to imply that bitcoin is detached from central points, perhaps? I kinda doubt he used a pseudo-name generator, as he was likely cautious and purposeful with the whole concept from the very beginning.
Amazing. So it's like a central source of wisdom/reasoning? He's certainly a genuine genuis guy.

What I can say is that it's hard to understand the real scenario of Bitcoin and how the name of Satoshi Nakamoto was developed if we're not part of the team that does it. However, from what Theymos once said Bitcoin was run in a community-driven way and the name Satoshi Nakamoto created some of the teams that were working on BTC at the early stage.
Technically, the name was not provided by Satoshi himself.
Wow, thanks! so in theory that in lines with the other theories that I've read, it's "they".

-snip-
I've known that joke as well but that's hell of reference for entertainment just like what I've thought about watching the highlight and seen in the subtitle when satoshi's name appeared.

Wish you had developed some sort of conspiracy with strong arguments trying to prove what you are saying.  Like finding some Pokemon references in the Whitepaper or in Satoshi's posts.  Otherwise, this is pure and vague speculation.  Make it more entertaining and this might become one of the biggest Satoshi conspiracies!

Seriously though.  Satoshi is just Satoshi.  Considering it remains one of the biggest anonymous personalities in history, chances are their real name was not Satoshi Nakamoto nor were they Japanese.  And since he never wanted to disclose his identity in any kind of way, it is unlikely he chose this name because he loves Pokemon.  I for one would not link my anonymous personality to my passions and obsessions.  Except for privacy, which I am going to talk about on the forum all day long anyway.

Satoshi knew what he was doing very well and calculated each and every step of theirs precisely.

Exactly, it's just a referred name probably by the team or himself elsewhere to make it more confusing and put that attention that they or he's a japanese. On the latter of what you said, it's true that's why we all admire him and every thought that an individual like me hits it whenever there's something that "might" be close and related to him as a speculation by a mere person like me.

This could be a kiddy stuff for most but what do you think?    

It could be fun topic for casual discussion. But honestly i'll just refer to this answer https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/83891 when people talking about possible meaning/source of "Satoshi Nakamoto" in Japanese.
Thanks! This discussion has given me more information about the references and more detailed ones for those explanations that have been shared.

I don't think it is related to that. Satoshi is a common masculine name in Japanese if I'm not mistaken, but they have different meaning, depends on the character you are going to use when writing the name. Satoshi Nakamoto could mean the exact same thing that google says;

It doesn't mean they mentioned satoshi they really know him, Satoshi is japanese name so most provably there are so many individual people was named on that word and its common name on japan so there's not surprising if a TV show will mention the name Satoshi since its not a coincidence to happen in TV programs. It will be different if they mention about bitcoin and its creator since for sure they are pointing him on that accurately.
Yes, that is and there's more that. That's what I've known after realizing the first reply on this thread and made me googled it asap and saw the meaning of it.

we are in the field of pure speculation.
 it is possible that his name has this origin but I find it rather unlikely for several reasons... Otherwise we dont know of he was really japanese ... Roll Eyes
I don't think we'll ever know why he chose this name, he's one of those mysteries that will probably stay with us for life Sad
That's the guarantee that we got. We'll never know who actually he is or they are. A mystery that will never solved unless someone or a group appears with strong evidence to claim that they're or he's satoshi.

There are a lot of theories about why someone chose the pseudonym "Satoshi Nakamoto", but I have to admit that I can't remember anyone connecting him with Pokemon. Each possibility has some chance of being correct, although in many discussions it has already been concluded that the name Satoshi is very common in Japan, and once in some reports from the Second World War I found a person whose name was exactly that.

Very interesting conspiracy theories can be constructed from some of the meanings of those words.

The Japanese term satoshi has many meanings. Among some other things, Satoshi means "enlightened", "wise" or "intelligent". And last, but not least, Nakamoto means something like "middle", "base", "root" or "central". This would make Satoshi Nakamoto the “Central Intelligence” Smiley
Truth to that and the one that I've researched after realizing things after making this discussion is about the masculine thing and then added more from the other contributors of the forum about the other meanings of it and I liked the most about being the central source of wisdom.

Well, in the world of many twists and turns, the possibility that the name Satoshi can be derived from Pokemon can really be there. Having said that, I think this is just another theory among many candidates and nobody can be sure which is the fact unless the real Satoshi Nakamoto will surface and will shed light to everything related to him, the blockchain and Bitcoin. For entertainment purposes though to pique our interest, maybe this pass well. Now, let's assume that the name was taken from Pokemon character...so what's next?
Just another speculation that has just been thought by a playful mind and far from any other better resources that we've got on this thread.  Smiley

So, in theory, is it possible that Satoshi Nakamoto got the alias from Ash Ketchum in original japanese name of the protagonist and watched the series and derived that first name and just added the surname Nakamoto from somewhere else as reference too?

Possibly, or also any of these people with the name Satoshi:

~snip~

or any of these fictional characters:

~snip~
'twas too late for me to realize that it was a common name there.


Btw, happy thanksgiving to everyone.
2362  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Throwback: Bitcoin was $64k today, a year ago. on: November 24, 2022, 10:16:10 PM
And until now I still regretted of not holding on to Bitcoin during the long bear market. I decided to sell it until a few weeks later it shoots up to $20k, $30k, $50k, $60k and so on.

I blame myself for being hesistant in buying BTC with my extra “not beer money”.

Right now, I am at a loss despite doing DCA with Bitcoin. But I’ll keep hanging on coz’ I know one day it would definitely bounce back despite the uncertain timeline. Maybe after the next halving, but no guarantees or promises at all.
I feel you brother! But don't you worry, everything's going to be fine again soon. And as you DCA, keep doing it and don't lose hope because you're doing the right thing at this time. You may have lost that opportunity from the last bull run, there's still going to be the next bull that we'll see a few years from now. There's no guarantee but we all know how cycle works and we've seen it happen before and there's a bigger chance and possibility that it will.

Bitcoin actually reached $69,000 last year. I remember it miraculously reached that price when it was claimed that our chance of getting paid for doing some work depends on price reaching $69,000—70,000. The price eventually got to the level soon and people were happy even though the price increase was attributed to someone else instead of the ONE who made it possible.
Yes, the ATH was $69k and the $64k was just a way of it. But those tasks that were paid in dollars, they're converted into bitcoin and they got lesser because of the high price during that time.
Is that someone else you're talking about is Elon Musk? Or there's someone that has been attributed with that price increase and ATH?
2363  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: November 24, 2022, 09:09:59 PM
It's actually a win for Pacquiao back then but he was so careless and didn't think lightly during that time. He's about to win that match but suddenly, he became so aggressive, and Marquez saw an opening. And the sad truth between these two great fighters of our time, we will never see them again to have fight against each other.
That win from Juan Manuel Marquez was not a fluke he have seen a clear opening and taking it was a risk but he still takes it because he is much losing to Manny Pacquiao at that time, it was a do-or-die thing for him, I was really shocked and I think many Filipino was really shock in utter dis-belief in seen their iconic hero face down the canvas, not moving at all, and many didn't really think it could be a win for Juan Manuel Marquez, that day but still, it has marked history in boxing that anything is really possible even though they have thought that Manny Pacquiao could win this it is really possible that something like this could happen,
The world was shocked with that counter and outcome of the match. When Pacquiao was owning him and leading in the perspective of many, that didn't do well when Marquez was able to see an opening and got lucky successfully by doing that punch.
It's one of the biggest match in the history of these two boxing legends that will never be forgotten. It's carved and will always be talked about when people starts talking about the greatest matches of this era.
2364  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Throwback: Bitcoin was $64k today, a year ago. on: November 24, 2022, 11:55:46 AM
It is a day to remember every year, because for users who have the confused mind whether bitcoin will reach new ath or not can get answer. Almost an year and a month passed, the present price of bitcoin is one fifth of the ath. No matter what the market movement is, 1BTC=1BTC. So, all that required is the patience and the understanding about the market to experience the same.
Yes, the equivalence of bitcoin remains to be there. And when someone is feeling down with the market, they can just go back to a thread like this or any other thread that's showing how huge the market has went already. If it's not for the cycle and pattern that has been shown, many won't be optimistic as we are because we know that the same thing will just happen and repeat.

Well, just a reminder that it's been one year that has passed and there's going to be more to go and hopefully, we go back to that former price and even higher soon as we know a few years from now, halving is about to come.
How time indeed flies, right here and now, it's still feel like it was yesterday that bitcoin reached this all time high.
And it is unfortunate for those who bought at this top, most especially for those who wanted some quick profit and never intended to hold for long, they had (and for those that haven't sold) still have the option to either sell at a loss or keep holding waiting for the next break which will put bitcoin back to this price and above.

Halving is coming for sure, but my question is, has halving become the major and only  catalyst to bitcoins boom? Does it mean that we will have to wait for every 4 years to experience a new all time high and what is the guarantee that this is going to continue for as long as bitcoin continue to exist?...
Sadly, those that have bought at the top has to keep until it goes back there but those that have no chill and lost their patience, they've probably sold at loss already. About your question with halving, well, it's a sure boost to bitcoin's price because on how it cuts the reward for the miners, we're just going to look at the part of its lesser supply but higher demand. It's really the main factor of why the price of bitcoin goes up, it's been recorded if we start looking at those numbers in the past up to this time.
2365  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Satoshi likes Pokemon and possibly where the pseudonymous is derived from on: November 24, 2022, 10:02:54 AM
Since the episodes are on Youtube, is it possible that the subtitles are just wrong?
Yes, it's possible that the other translations are wrong but I've looked for other videos and they're telling the same name for Ash in Japanese version, Satoshi.

It's also very possible that Satoshi is meaningless. Now, that's probably not the case since humans of creatures of habit, and we usually has a bias when choosing names, passwords, and all that. So, quite possibly it was to do with Pokemon, but just because there's somewhat of a correlation, doesn't mean that's the case. I'm not familiar with Pokemon enough to verify your claims, but if that is the case I imagine that "Satoshi" is quite a popular name in Japan. Since, Ashley is a fairly popular name.
I think you're right that it's a popular name in Japan with regards to masculine for men. But I've just thought of it that maybe there's a relation to it since it's a popular anime ever since.

Also, I think Pokemon probably has more adult followers than kids these days due to its age.
True, after more than 2 decades, most of its fans and followers have grown up.

They don't care about bitcoin. They don't care about you. They only care about getting left behind and not making profits.
Truth be told, no other intention but to make money for the benefit of their company.

But it's still up to the people if they'll trust them or not.
If someone still trusts any centralized exchange after the events of the past 4 or 5 months, then either they haven't looked at a single piece of crypto-related news or media in that time, or they are a moron. Sorry, but there is no other way to look at it. Centralized exchanges all fall somewhere between "completely untrustworthy" and "an outright scam".
Most likely they don't care what the news are all about, they lean on the idea that their funds are on a "reputable exchange" after all. And that's why they still trust them to keep their money there. But, soon, they'll learn the biggest lessons of their lives if they don't listen to people warning them about taking it out before another big scene and event has been made by another centralized exchange or company.
2368  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: November 23, 2022, 06:38:30 PM
Damn, how long was that when it happened? It's so long, right? Are we this old already? Cheesy
I can remember that counterpunch that made Pacquiao fell for his knees when Marquez got him right there. That's also where everyone thought of that there could always be one lucky punch, a counter or not that's going to be done which will make an upset.

Marquez was unbelievable that time, most of the fans thinks that it will be a win for Pacquiao but that lucky punch that landed solidly
and give him the win.

I agree that it was one of the biggest upsets as this was part of that long-series rivalries between Pacquaio and the Mexican fighters,

maybe or not maybe it was the reality back then that pride is greater than money unlike now, money is more than anything.

2369  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Satoshi likes Pokemon and possibly where the pseudonymous is derived from on: November 23, 2022, 05:35:38 PM
As I've seen the news[1] about Ash Ketchum(main character) of Pokemon became the very best. All of those folks that have watched the series when they're young understands the first lyrics of its intro song. "I wanna be the very best". So, it was after 25 years when he became a Pokemon World Champion.
Little did I know, when I've watched the highlight[2] of the final battle of Ash. The video's subtitle was on and to my surprise Ash was called "Satoshi" by his opponent. Seriously, for that long, I didn't know that Ash = Satoshi in the original language of the series. Yes, I've got no idea for the whole existence of this anime until I've read that subtitle.

So, in theory, is it possible that Satoshi Nakamoto got the alias from Ash Ketchum in original japanese name of the protagonist and watched the series and derived that first name and just added the surname Nakamoto from somewhere else as reference too?

This could be a kiddy stuff for most but what do you think?

Ash Ketchum (Japanese: サトシ Satoshi) is the main character of the Pokémon anime. He is also the main character of various manga based on the anime, including The Electric Tale of Pikachu, Ash & Pikachu, and Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl.

He is a Pokémon Trainer from Pallet Town whose goal is to become a Pokémon Master.

We would be pure electric and maybe electric/hydrogen hybrids.

Pretty easy fix if the rich were willing to do it.
You've said the keyword. Yeah, if they're gonna allow that to happen because for sure that lots of bucks will be missed out if they allow it to do so. But we're all still going to see a lot of oil/diesel-gasoline engine cars because they're making a lot of money from it.

As a matter of fact, instead of a sudden full shift to expensive electric cars and vehicles, why not a gradual transition to electric/oil hybrids? I'm seeing a few hybrids like this but it seems the hype and attention are always directed toward sleek fully electric cars, which are more about showing costly beauty and class than practicality.
I am seeing the gradual change from diesel-engine cars, I guess that there's already the introduction for hybrid to full electric cars. I think what most countries will have are hybrid types because not all countries are capable of having battery charging stations from mile to mile. It'll cost them money unless Elon steps in with his Tesla to majority of the countries that are starting to adopt hybrid and full electric cars.

That's one of the most unforgettable counterpunches that I've seen in boxing history and also one of the biggest upsets.
Pacquiao can literally just go away in those final seconds of Round 6 and he already won that round. But that is not his style so keep on attacking and Marquez caught an opening that knock the hell Pacquiao down. It's still fresh in my memory.
IQ and the right timing. I bet he went thru lots of practice to master that kind of technique. It's not easy because it's just a millisecond of a chance to make it land.
Damn, how long was that when it happened? It's so long, right? Are we this old already? Cheesy

The media are flexible, when we're in the bull run you'll see them tell good things about the market and the crazy predictions that have been told by those unknown people that they're highlighting as someone as if they're an expert in the field. But, the people that they're quoting and giving exposure is truly an unknown person. But when we're in the bear market, you'll also see them tell those very low predictions that have been given, so, they're always at the two sides of the market. That's why don't depend your emotion to them.
People are just showing their market sentiments. When the market is bullish, people will always praise bitcoin and the rest of the potential coins. When the market is bearish, people will also develop fear and eventually panic thinking that their investments will not recover anymore. But not all we see and hear from the media are true and reliable. Sometimes, we have to make our own analysis so that we will not fall into false beliefs.
That's so true and that is because many in the media can be paid to do some good reviews for projects. As you can remember, there were celebrities that has been sued due to advertising fraud projects. The same thing can happen to misleading articles and content being done by the media.
They're not just being focused for now but whenever the bull run is back, there will be swarm of it in the market that they're going to publish that's looking nonstop.

How is it a bad thing though? I know we mostly try to refrain people from using centralized platforms, the more centralized exchanges exist, the more the existing ones are incentivized to provide better services because of increased competition.
I guess everybody is invested to the situation of FTX and that's why this could be a bad thing to many. But you said it right, competition is good and even for these centralized companies, they're trying to improve and do better. But it's still up to the people if they'll trust them or not.

JP Morgan are not your friend.

Their wallet website does not mention bitcoin nor cryptocurrency even once. This looks very much like it is going to be geared towards CBDCs, not bitcoin. And if it does support bitcoin, I am 100% sure they will run a fractional reserve just like every other centralized exchange and it will all go to shit eventually.

Don't think that JP Morgan are in this for anyone but themselves. You would be a fool to use this wallet.
I agree, nothing has changed from them for being a banker. And like what we mostly know, bankers don't like what's up with bitcoin and if there are banks that have adopted bitcoin, they're rare and few and their interest to the business is what matter most for them.

But in reality they have turned their stones from speaking negative about bitcoin and crypto in the past to going for self wallet trademark why? Because they are seeing profits and whole lot of people into this and by providing these services they can make more profits and use their stablecoin also.But don't fall for it easily.
They can't skip the market where they can also profit from such. Maybe they saw that many people still relying on known companies if it's about keeping their crypto and money. So, it's like, "Hey we're JP Morgan, we're known! so trust us with your crypto through our wallet.".

A bunch of good sounding keywords that makes it look like you are an expert in the field but without saying anything of importance.
...
Cross-border crypto transactions don't differ in any way to local transactions between two neighbors. They are already simple, fast, and don't require the interference from J.P. Morgan and similar scum 3rd-parties.
Actually, you just made me realize that it's just like to have a description that they're good with what they're doing now. But true, they're jargon words and a new customer wouldn't even understand those.

From the wording they used it sounds more like they target businesses/companies or anyone looking to manage a business in general. Probably not the go-to wallet for retail (as it should be).

More and more centralized parties are starting to enter the market after some went bust, not to mention it has a decent history before joining the crypto industry. Looks like they already stock enough crypto to dump on retail on the next bull run.
Probably it is. Its CEO has been talking shit about bitcoin long time ago and then suddenly turned out that he's packing and stacking a lot of sats on his portfolio just like the known strategy of these bankers and other famous people before.

I don't know if many will be happy with this news because it's another centralized company that's stepping to the market. I remember the CEO of this company, Jamie Dimon, that has said too many negative things about bitcoin IIRC, that was around on 2018. And then afterwards, he changed his heart and said good things about it and it tends out that he's been investing already to the crypto market. Here are some short details about what this Morgan wallet and the said trademark is all about. And read more from the sources attached to this post.

Seriously?! You're that young to become addicted in gambling and the school has to kick you out from their institution. Luckily, on my part, I was able to hold still on that younger days of my life.
I'm able to gamble and at the same time it was just maintained. I guess what helped me is that because I was still young, got no money, got no source of money to gamble. That situation I have been in truly helped me at least to naturally control me with my finances and gambling activities, not that addicted but still a gambler.
I said seriously, I used to be very addicted to gambling games, every time there was a gambling that was excited, I would immediately put a lot of money there because at that time I thought big capital would get big profits

stupid me, I did something like that when I was in school, at that time I had no income and the fastest way I made money was by stealing and using school money, I used it in the hope that it would return many times over but in fact it was the other way around, I actually lost everything
That's sad but you're still young back then and thought of things were to be achieved with gambling and money isn't a problem since there were your parents where you can take things from their and put it into your possession and sell it so, you can gamble.

Well it's not surprising that the young ones are engaging in gambling activities, especially if they have company that are not really upstanding and not really watched by their parents as they grow up. I have had a couple of friends way back that does a lot of gambling and made good money while everyone was still in high school. I envy that they have money but I don't envy the way on how they acquire it. Even though I develop some liking to gambling, it never resulted in me being an addict. I still handle my finances well and I never exceed way beyond my set limit for my bets.
If there's really no parent that's giving you guidance, your fate will not end up good. However, there are parents that are giving the best to their children and as well as giving guidance to them. It is that when someone has been befriended to your kid and then they're living in bad surroundings doing things like gambling and stealing, those acts will also be done by your kid because of the influence of friends.

The media are flexible, when we're in the bull run you'll see them tell good things about the market and the crazy predictions that have been told by those unknown people that they're highlighting as someone as if they're an expert in the field. But, the people that they're quoting and giving exposure is truly an unknown person. But when we're in the bear market, you'll also see them tell those very low predictions that have been given, so, they're always at the two sides of the market. That's why don't depend your emotion to them.

I think Vitalik and CZ is working on something right now that focuses on having this protocol, the proof of reserve.
News: Binance CEO CZ begins working on Vitalik Buterin’s ‘safe CEX’ ideas

It's a matter of being transparent to their customers. What I like with this is that, the game for exchanges are stepping up and this gives the advantage more with the users to have that push for these exchanges to have that sense of being transparent.

This is like wrapped bitcoin but the thing is, despite of being equal to the current price of bitcoin. There is a big possibility that it will be de-pegged and will cut ties to the price bitcoin.
AFAIK, there's this wrapped project that has de-pegged to its major coin. I can't remember if that was wrapped Ether or it was another project but it was "wrapped" project! The same as this renbtc that could really lose its value against its connected and copied coin.

fortunately I was cured of my gambling addiction when I was young. remembering the past, before I almost got fired from the school for using school money for gambling and selling my mother's necklace gold for gambling, that was my worst period

Gambling is addictive, so if you feel you have a tendency to become a gambling addict, you should immediately consult a psychiatrist so that it doesn't get worse
Seriously?! You're that young to become addicted in gambling and the school has to kick you out from their institution. Luckily, on my part, I was able to hold still on that younger days of my life.
I'm able to gamble and at the same time it was just maintained. I guess what helped me is that because I was still young, got no money, got no source of money to gamble. That situation I have been in truly helped me at least to naturally control me with my finances and gambling activities, not that addicted but still a gambler.
This is indeed an extreme condition for a young person to achieve or commit out these things on early period or age which does indicate extreme addiction towards gambling.
This is why parenting and guidance do really plays a big role when raising up our children.Nowadays, youth is really that exposed into different things which it would really be that
cant be avoided for them to see up  these things but with proper guidance and awareness on where their parents been teaching into them then possibilities
that they would be simply be able to avoid those things earlier and would be able to avoid possible problems ahead.
I've got schoolmates that have been kicked out from our alma matter but it hasn't came to that point where they've been addicted to gambling. I've been also a gambler since I was young but not to that point that even my schooling has been affected.
That's just really too much and he has experienced that since he's too young. And addiction really can lead to other activities like committing a crime like stealing. Well, even it's her mother's necklace, that's still stealing.
