He means Gavin Andresen. He probably knows who satoshi is, they were in close contact. Once the CIA contact Gavin Satoshi dissapeared.

Do you think Gavin has knowledge of who or how to reach Satoshi?

What I think is that Gavin is actually satoshi, and what better way to remove the unknown factor "Satoshi" from the scene was just goto a meeting with CIA, I think Gavin explained them or was said to stop the bullshit with unknown factor.

Who in the world create something as awesome as bitcoin and leave it to unknown stranger for talking care :3 That's a total bullshit humans don't have that level of trust unless satoshi was an alien Tongue

I think someone on the forum is Just using a cover for unknown reasons.

i'm nearly sure he know more about satoshi than we think. but it's limited to not knowing who satoshi is in real life. don't think anyone know who he is in real life. it's purely internet communication.

I wonder if its just Gavin himself using satoshi as a cover?
Wouldn't make sense, Satoshi got scared when Gavin went to meet with the CIA about Bitcoin and Satoshi went into hiding.
Well Gavin could have created Satoshi so if something went wrong he could make Satoshi responsible. Those are theories and speculation nothing more.

I think your opinion sounds quite appropriate, so he can keep bitcoin secret safely, and in other hand people will only focusing to guess who Satoshi is. I mean, if Satoshi is real, then CIA or any secret agent else should already find him with their technology.

Do you?

You must to have this much curiosity to set up a poll and pose the question. So assuming my premise is correct, what information do you have that leads you to the hunch that Gavin knows Satoshi? For those of us that don't know Gavin's history as well, answering this poll is just like flipping a coin. If we don't have any information to help us make a choice we'll just choose any answer to see the results.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

I don't think Gavin knew until he went to talk to the CIA, and they told him who it was.

I think he does, why would he have the alert keys if it wasnt the case? He's also one of the main rumored guys to be satoshi along with nick sziabo. No one of this changes anything tho, at the end of the day is just speculation and we are getting nowhere without any relevant proof.
I wish Satoshi can reveal himself (if he is really one man, if 'he' is an organization or a group I think it is better to keep status quo).
If people find out that he is not a part of NSA or any government agency, then stupid argument that bitcoin is in reality project to fuck with us will go away.
Additionally for creating innovation like blockchain and bitcoin he could even receive a Nobel Prize, that would be huge for promotion of bitcoin.

I think it benefits no one if Satoshi went public. As soon as he went public, he would be judged, and mainstream media would start dropping headlines to try to damage Bitcoin with something negative related to him, and everyone has done something negative in his life, so they would try to find that and attack Satoshi with that, whatever it is.
If he remains anonymous, the figure of Satoshi cannot be attacked beyond speculation.

You're quite right, lets not provide a centralized point of attack to bitcoin.

But also don't forget the threats possible to steal his btc. Physical abuse, extortion to himself, family.and even friends.

I agree, the identity of the bitcoin creator should stay "decentralized" and anonymous so bitcoin can stay too. We shouldn't really care about who created bitcoin but more of what we can  do with it. All these talks about who Satoshi is, is just "waking" up our inner curiosity.

Gavin didn't "go" to the CIA, the CIA was there from the start. Gavin is essentially Satoshi's handler because Satoshi was only 15 years old.

Err...ok.

You sound 100% confident, so I assume you have some evidence to back up your rumor?
No? Figures...

My vote is no.

He may have some strong suspicions but probably does not know for sure. Even if he does, he should respect the privacy of Satoshi.

I'm only looking for 1% possibility. That's all it takes. You don't want to be the one who didn't believe when the truth finally comes out. Just so you know.

I don't think he does. Satoshi seems to be a brilliant man (you must be brilliant to create something like Bitcoin) who has planed and very  well executed his every step. I think it was planed that nobody knows him and this is exactly how the situation unfolds, until now people are just guessing who he is.
So no, everything was planed an he is still on the top of situation.

    Go and read the white paper OP. It's all explained in there.
   Yes,  If Gavin really,really needs to contact Satoshi then he has a BIT-light that beams a 3d Bitcoin image onto the sky and Satoshi will appear.
  Think bat light from Batman comic's and you'll get the idea. Roll Eyes

That's more exotic than I was expecting. I assumed he'd just send a million coins to the right address for a heads up.
