Well played, sir, well played!

And congratulations to Satoshi Ōmura for sticking it to those roundworms.

The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2015
William C. Campbell, Satoshi Ōmura, Youyou Tu

Prize motivation: "for their discoveries concerning a novel therapy against infections caused by roundworm parasites"

I think when Satoshi Nakamoto will get The Nobel Prize the prize motivation would be:

"for their discoveries concerning a novel therapy against infections caused by $ parasites"

If I were Satoshi, and I received a Nobel prize, I would make a public statement declining it.

The institution is a joke; past winners are clear opposites of the virtues the prize supposedly rewards (e.g. Henry Kissinger won the Nobel peace prize), and Alfred Nobel himself was what? A military equipment engineer (I think munitions may have been a speciality of his)

Lol that got me there for a moment but as this is not discussing about the inventor of bitcoin, it should be moved to politics and society or off-topic

Spot on mate! You have nailed it! This prize has become just a paravan of the world's most powerful people, to justify at least a bit the crap they are doing and they are responsible for.

Also this Satoshi guy must be Nakamoto's older brother!

The institution is a joke

you are wrong my friend, the institution is not a joke, is just another business for "some" guys, that's exactly what it is, so is by far, worst than a joke, maybe some years ago was a good institution, "maybe", but not now, not anymore.

would be funny to see things like that, in the end, is the real truth

Bitcoin is still in a experimental phase and are nowhere close to being a success. A lot of things can still go wrong and he can go from hero to zero in a single day. Let us not crown him King of the Castle, before the experiment is done.

The basic principle and the combination of different ideas, came from different people and he only put it together in a very unique way.

Umm if you didn't realize it yet, it is not the Nakamoto it is another scientist that discovered something about parasites, the whole thing is meant to be a joke

[maokoto]

Thanks for the link, very informative.

What is now joke later can become reality, just wait and see.
Bitcoin is really revolutionary idea which can change the world so soon or later I'm sure Satoshi will become very strong candidate for Nobel prize.

[JeWay]

Wait, I thought it was Satoshi Nakamoto.
So this is just a joke???
Cause anyway, they will never give a Nobel prize to someone they don't even know who.

[Amph]

As a child, [Satoshi] Tajiri enjoyed insect collecting as a hobby, which would be an inspiration for his later video game work.

Are roundworms considered insects?
