His goal was not fame, but freedom.

Sad reality is because thats why he created the use of the bitcoin avoid getting manipulated with the institutions and at the same time makes a transaction anonymously without the trace and efficient way of having a transactions but the sad reality is its now already widely spreading but into different purpose because most of the CEX now shifting into becomes regulated so its up to you still if you want to follow or pursue the use of the bitcoin.

Satoshi Nakamoto did not design and program Bitcoin blockchain as Monero blockchain and all transactions on Bitcoin blockchain are traceable.

If you want anonymous transactions, choose Monero blockchain.

With Bitcoin blockchain, you can have privacy and somewhat anonymity but it depends on how you keep your addresses and identy unlinked with each other, how you use UTXOs, change address, and Tor connection with your Bitcoin full nodes for broadcasting Bitcoin transactions. It's not for Average Joe when using Bitcoin blockchain automatically have privacy and anonymity.

Everything said here has stuck with me. Bitcoin has shown us a symbol of freedom beyond just money. Also, Satoshi Nakamoto, who didn't want fame. He wanted every word of freedom to express it.

There will always be options. Even if Bitcoin were completely private, many people would still prefer their transactions to be visible for reasons like reputation, taxes, or business transparency. The original idea of Satoshi is important, but people tend to use technology in the way that best suits them. Some would rather choose recognition and visibility over full control of their assets and that is their choice and just has to be respected.

I don't even see any second chances, just a single, timeless chances.
I hope second chances aren't offered in a financial revolution (yeah bitcoin is still enough for me), but rather as an individual human right.

Fiat was the first chance, but it is failing. Satoshi gave the world a second currency which is void of some of the lapses of fiat.

Op, I agree with you. His aim was not fame; he wouldn't have chosen to be anonymous. It was not even wealth because he would have started selling his coins.

Fiat was the break from the first chance - sound money such as gold or silver.  Fiat was the attempt by statists to remove an objective value from money so that they could debase it and take a cut every time they did all the while claiming to be in favor of "price stability" when it has been anything but stable over any reasonable length of time.

Bitcoin is a return to sound money but is even harder than PMs.

indeed the original idea of bitcoin from satoshi was not to produce a regulated system just like every other currency on the internet. his aim was to make a decentralized system but nowadays, goverment are desperately making  out ways to overide the decentralization by making CEX regulate transactions for taxes and other data. if anyone would want to choose visibility over the anonymity bitcoin provides, then i think they should do well to go look for such system else where, besides all the regulated and transparent system that has been created for a long while how has it helped us? Satoshi saw the problem and that is why he provided a solution.

Bitcoin is privacy and freedom to it's holders because it is decentralized, it was originally created to be an alternative to fiat which are centralized. Bitcoin changed to a next level when it became a profitable asset which gave it a new title as a store of value, people want what will give them profit and Bitcoin becomes popular and it's adoption continues to increase. Fame naturally comes with popularity and that is where we are now. Bitcoin increasing fame doesn't underscore the privacy that it gives to it's holders, if you hold it in a none custodial wallet and do p2p transactions with a second party only you will still enjoy your privacy and freedom.

He gave the key to both freedom and wealth because through Bitcoin, many people have told their success stories of how Bitcoin helped them to get rich, if it wasn't for that opportunity, could they be as rich as they have become after Bitcoin price surge? Of a truth, if not for Bitcoin, some people will not achieve the success they had now, just take for example the companies that are investing into Bitcoin like micro strategy, they have built a very large profitable portfolio of Bitcoin, what if there was no Bitcoin?

Successful and rich people will know how to put their money to work, so they will not rashly buy something that has no function or benefit. Of course they will buy something that is much rarer than the assets they currently have, such as a company, land or something else.

Yes, Bitcoin is a form of resistance to the global system and freedom, why are many people competing to want as much Bitcoin as possible because they know that this asset is very rare. Even if Bitcoin didn't exist, success could still be achieved by any means necessary. The rich would still be rich because they knew the loopholes or played the game, which was controlled by the central or local governments.

But we must also remember that Bitcoin is not the only path to absolute freedom or wealth, and it's not a must-have for everyone. There's no compulsion or pressure to invest in BTC. In my view, BTC provides the freedom for anyone to own it. Anyone can own it without requiring permission from a bank or government that's true freedom.

Today, many people are losing money due to excessive speculation or poor market judgment, and sometimes not everyone is ready for that. That freedom comes with responsibility and that's where BTC's revolutionary value lies.

Do you think holders these days thinks it as a second chance or they're just in it for gamble and to flip it over time? The second chance is there but if we don't use it as a tool, I think it will remain a casino road. Yeah we can control it but I think majority of holders don't think long term, that's probably the narrative we have right now.

Your question is really a thing of puzzle, but for me I see that many that don't know what they are holding easily fall prey of having oversight with short sightedness of losing  that where second chance will not be considered as a way to regain what would have been a lost before them, by exercising patient and see the system as gambling just as you have rightly said, the operational tool must be futuristic hope of any where holding is mind sealed unshakable to gamble and always accommodate and use the storage in hold to wage war against any lost in other asset or store of value, knowing well that the value of Bitcoin remain and will certainly increase as long as the holder keeps prolonged stock in my opinion it can be if the people endeavor to practice long term without the fear of losing and remove the gambling strategy as many do today.

I don't see fiat as the first chance; rather, it should only be considered as the first currency, which was introduced to help solve the problem of trade by bartering and other commodity-based types of trade. It's not like it was the first chance; Bitcoin is just an alternative currency that anyone who needs liberation from fiat can consider using. It's not like it's the God sent to come and solve the world's financial problem.

I get goosebumps all over me each time I think of what Satoshi has done for humanity absolutely free of charge even without being asked to, this can only take a man with great wisdom and vision to do what Satoshi has done and I am glad the world recognized and respects the name "Satoshi Nakamoto" today..

Satoshi nakamoto is a very good example to be used when we are told that in our quest for riches, don't chase riches actually, but go after solutions to problems faced by real people in this real world, and just like Solomon in the Bible (instead of asking for wealth, riches, power, he asked for wisdom instead, and through his wisdom, he became the world wealthiest and richest person in his time), solving a single genuine problem can not only make us wealthy and rich, but it will also add with it fame.
Satoshi solved the problem with money and freedom, and today, he is not only rich, he is super wealthy and famous too, and I think Satoshi nakamoto has entered the list of top 10 riches people in that world based on networth.

There is a clear division among holders in the current market. One group is working with a true long term perspective, they know why they are holding, and the other group is holding in the hope of getting back the money they lost or hoping for a quick profit. Many do not see second chances as a real tool, but rather as a gambling table. To use Bitcoin or any other crypto as an effective tool, it must have a structure. Without goal setting, position sizing, risk management, just holding means blind hope. If someone wants to stay for the long term, then the DCA strategy can be effective, because it reduces the impact of market fluctuations. In my opinion, second chances definitely exist, but to use it, you need to change your mindset. Holding will only be successful when we see it as an economic tool, not a game of chance.

[Japinat]

Everyone aims for freedom, most particularly for those who are rich and are still accumulating wealth, in order to get rid of government interventions and monitoring. However the problem is, no one will take the lead so as to avoid banks and government.

But with global adoption soon, we will all benefit financial freedom, and maximize our bitcoin access and accumulation until we will also achieve financial stability and prosperity, and not just financial freedom.

Satoshi does not anticipate fame, but we all know that with freedom comes also fame, and that’s something Satoshi wants to avoid that’s why he chose to hide from the spotlight.

The question is: will we take it?

Bitcoin can be called a symbol of financial freedom. And this idea was inaugurated by Satoshi Nakamoto. He first thought of a monetary system where every person would have equal rights and complete control over their wealth. He invented Bitcoin as an alternative to the world's centralized monetary system. He did this not only for his own sake or fame, he did it to make the world financially independent. Therefore, Bitcoin is one of the means of independent, decentralized, secure and confidential digital transactions.

Are you referring to Bitcoin as a complete replacement of fiat money, OP? If I'm right, then I have no problem with that. But the question is, will we all choose to let go of fiat and adapt to Bitcoin? But seeing the current situation, people remain confident with fiat. That is why I don't think that will happen. I don't think this is all about freedom but rather all about how people see the convenience of it.

There is no second chance, my dear, because people will choose the system they think will give them favor and convenience and stay away from those who give them problems.

Bitcoin was not created by Satoshi Nakamoto to replace fiat currency.

Satoshi's vision was shown in his emails with Sirius, who used to be one of forum admins. You can read their emails in this archive.
https://mmalmi.github.io/satoshi/

Bitcoin is an alternative technical solution for people to move away from banks and fiat currency system but it does not have any mission of completely replace bank system and fiat currencies. It's only one among many choices for people in the world financial system that has enough diversifying options for people from different nations, under different governments and bank systems.

Freedom is more important than any kind of fame because all we hope for in life is peace and the ability to live a better life. Bitcoin has demonstrated a revolution because everyone has the opportunity to achieve financial freedom if they get involved. This freedom shows a new direction for anyone who wants to build a better life because Bitcoin is available to anyone who wants to get involved. Opportunities and chances are available to everyone, and it depends on how each person approaches the problem of financial inequality so that it can become a solution that each individual can overcome through its involvement in investment.

Actually, so do I. every time I actually stop and consider this whole thing I am
amazed at what has been done.

Ok a lot of us know that Satoshi built Bitcoin on some of the foundations made
by previous projects  like ECash and Hash Cash but to be able to bring a working viable
project to the world was amazing.

The second feat of amazingness is to be totally anonymous without taking
any personal credit.

The third notable feat is to abandon* ~ BTC1,000,000 effectively gifting it to
us all by adding added scarcity.

Bitcoin as a complete replacement for fiat money is not going to happen, and it won't happen if that's what the OP is insinuating, not just because the people can't leave fiat currency but because Bitcoin was not made for such. Only a few can be able to efficiently transact with Bitcoin without a problem; the rest can just be good with treating it as an asset rather than a currency which they will use in their daily life.
