Economic Nobel prize for Satoshi Nakamoto

[katrimans]

While the proposal is good, I don't think that it can be put to practise. First of all, we don't know anything about the real identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. We don't even know whether he is dead or alive. Also, what if "Satoshi Nakamoto" is a group of individuals rather than a single person? And another complexity is that if the real identity is known, then there will be legal issues (related to the usage of Bitcoin in the dark markets).

Yeap, that was my first thought... Who do they give it to? We know nothing about the creator of bitcoin, only that he's called Satoshi Nakamoto and that can be a pseudonym, and as you said, considering the bitcoins involvment in darkweb and criminal, I don't think he will ever be reveal himself to the public. Maybe they can just announce the winner of the price but not necessarily hand him the prize.

Currently it looks like so but I think that in future when government will recognize bitcoin then may be he will disclose himself to the public, but still not very sure, as he must have worries about his security. And it can only be possible if bitcoin become one of the most popular currencies of the world.

That's all... Claim Economic Nobel prize for Satoshi Nakamoto

Does he really want the recognition? There is a very good reason why he decided to use a pseudonym, you know. Maybe he already knew what the implications are of his creation. And that is to enable the criminals.

You don't belong here. Perhaps you should migrate to another forum.

The main purpose behind the creation of Bitcoin was not to help the criminals. If you really know how to read and write, then you will be able to find it out using Google or Bing.

Nobel prize is tainted by war criminals winning the Peace prize, etc.

It doesn't really matter. The Nobel Prize has been tainted right from the start. Alfred Nobel after whom the prize was named can be considered a war criminal himself since he was deeply involved in the production of armaments (he established more than 90 armaments factories) and most of his wealth came from the arms trade...

In this way, the Nobel Peace Prize is an outrage in the face of humanity in its own right

nobel prize are tainted. let him keep away from all this

[Junko]

The Nobel Prize for anything is a joke. Paul Krugman? Barack Obama? Al Gore? Jimmy Carter? Kofi Annan? Really?

Winning a Nobel Prize would be an insult to Satashi Nakamoto. I don't think they would award him one anyway since Bitcoin is apolitical and doesn't really support the socialist, leftist agenda and the Nobel Prize has a well-known liberal bias.

Satoshi does not need any kind of recognition or prize, besides not a lot of people care about who gets a Nobel Prize, especially since it has become a lot more about politics than actual recognition to great minds.

Is that true? I was not aware of that. Please post the link here for us lazy ones to google it. It would also make your post more informative.

If you can't google it, then you're going to have a hard time reading an article about it.

If you really care about getting a good analysis, look up the name (Alfred Nobel) and start tracing his finance history. It's not like it's an impossible thing to find and as long as you check your sources you can verify the information you're seeing.

I won't go and find a link, but the guy you quoted isn't wrong from what I know.

He deserves that award for the category science and technology but this will not motivate him to come out
any one in the board can come forward to claim the award in his name,no awards can make him come out..

Its just an assumption of OP on which Satoshi gained the economic nobel prize but you do really have a point on which no matter how good was the award it wouldnt still make for satoshi to come out for sure and he would like to stay anonymous the same on his invention named bitcoin. I do agree on this prize which he really deserves it because of bitcoins creation which really helps a lot on most people who uses it.

You can read more about him in Wiki

At first I wanted to add a link to the Wiki article, then I somehow thought that everyone should at least have heard about Nobel since he is famous not only for the prize established in his name but also for inventing dynamite (I hope you won't ask what dynamite is). So I expected that people would get interested to learn more about him and how he had been earning his wealth. In any case, I added the link to my first post

Having all those technologies and his anonymity figured out ahead of time, is another pointer that Satoshi Nakamoto is indeed a mastermind! His invention is talked about in every continent and soon it would be on most households and businesses. I however think he really doesn't need the award even though he deserves it. One thing we seem to be over looking is the fact that the governments are desperate and can throw the Noble Prize as a carrot to see if it ropes him in.

Are you believe sathosi nakamoto is a real person?
Have you ever think sathosi nakamoto is just a fiction figure to hide somethings/someones?
I think about that 11 months ago

We should wait for a few years to find out the exact effects of btc. As for Satoshi winning the prize, I don't know if they give out prizes to anonymous identities.
