I've been pulling for this for years. It just makes sense. Btc is the only real innovation in economics in decades. I'm sure if satoshi was not pseudonymous and anonymous he would already be a laureate and the problem of "who do we give the medal to?" Is what holds them back

Couldn't disagree more. The list of all Nobel Laureates from all disciplines is (variously) a cast of criminals. If Satoshi were nominated, I would be very pleased if he returned with a brief PGP signed message to decline.
