Why Satoshi Nakamoto WON'T win a Nobel Prize

[Gleb Gamow]

Was confused at first as Angus Deayton is a comedian in my country: http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2015/oct/12/angus-deaton-v-angus-deayton-nobel-prize-win-sparks-twitter-joke-flurry

It would be cool if he was awarded it, though I think bitcoin would have to be heavily used around the world before he was nominated. Maybe if it breaks into the remittance market or makes a significant difference to the unbanked at some point he will be considered though can an anonymous person(s?) be nominated?

Yep, the comedian Angus Deayton should've won the Nobel prize in economics considering that he successfully serviced a prostitute sans paying her, an act worthy of a thesis.

"Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences" is not a prize setup by Nobel, but Swedish central bank, so its political implication is very clear: To award those theories that benefit the banking business

Similarly banks won't win a Satoshi prize

[RKing]

Nobel Prize of Ecnomics has nothing to do with Nobel. The award of Nobel Peace Prize is very controversial many times.

[arloseb]

Satoshi don't need a nobel prize.

[RKing]

Satoshi don't need a nobel prize.

He will be remembed for ever for changing the way the money is issued.

[Amph]

he winned that prize when he mined and mantained the network with his 1M reward in bitcoin

now he is rich enough to buy the "nobel price" if he want

[BlackPanda]

satoshi does not need to be recognized with the Nobel Prize. satoshi will always be recognized by the wider community, especially the users of bitcoin.

Had to agree with this.
And satoshi probably don't want to be noticed by everyone. Just like his work, the bitcoins, maybe he wants to remain anonymous to us and not be known with a nobel prize.

[gentlemand]

I don't want to sound like a conspiracy guy but im pretty sure the Nobel Prize has an agenda behind it just like everything that has that "officialism" halo around it, so I wouldn't count into Satoshi being given such a recognition by mainstream media, or at least not anytime soon. Maybe in decades. Right now im sure no one of the judges even know what Bitcoin is or understand it.

Indeed. It's not a judgement from universal powers beyond our comprehension, it's simply a committee of people sitting around with just as many grudges, misconceptions and pet subjects as anyone else.

It's going to take a long while before the rest of the world is capable of digesting what the whole thing means for them.

Bitcoin is economics in the first place, ignoring that fact is to misunderstand Bitcoin and to diminish its role. The ideas of Satoshi are based on Hayek's work, who received the Nobel prize:
for the pioneering work in the theory of money and economic fluctuations and for their penetrating analysis of the interdependence of economic, social and institutional phenomena.

[RKing]

Satoshi deserves the Noble Prize. But he may not get it if he remains anonymous.

[neurotypical]

It's way too revolutionary and disruptive, too soon. Sooner or later, the deserved recognize in the historic contribution to mankind that happened in 2009 with Bitcoin, will be rewarded, but not now. Now is the time to treat this stuff as something shady and dangerous, like the internet in the early days.

[ANdr0id]

Isn't it known as "The Nobel Peace Prize"?
Or is there one now, as mentioned earlier, for economics? If so then yes. Why not?
But don't expect him or her to show up and accept it.  

[knowhow]

Besides he being a rich person,and unknow why would he or her care about something material since he made one thing virtual has more value then much material things?

I see nobel as a waste of money,the same way as grammy or others those shows should be used to help poop people instead who won bla bla bla this year was x person ,we recognize the actors ,singers works ,when we buy a cd,go to shows,most of them are rich people why to give the stars a thing to they show to sons and the family?Proud to had been someone?When we die we will go to the same place and without those material things.... but well is good to people recognize you had a better perfomance on x year or moment.

why need to win a Nobel Prize? its useless , i would rather winning ton of money than a shitty nobel prize

First of all the Nobel Prize is not a simple prize but a prize which give even money. And not few money. Then this is a moral incentive and an world recognition which will give at bitcoin a very and more good reputation, importance and spreading. So this prize will help bitcoin more than Satoshi Nakamoto. My questions is: are you a lover of bitcoin or only a simple user of it which care only for its price in the market?

The main benefit of Nobel Prize is the public recognition.

First I have answered to the post quoted by me. So my answer was structured to give him an answer.

Then I have added some other benefits. And made some other interpretations. With interest for the lovers of bitcoin. And that might make happy everyone of those. Including (it is supposed) even you (if you are here in bitcointalk mean that you are here because of bitcoin). Sorry for all this I have made but I think that when it is treated something must be treated fully and not partially. I understand that you discover something big and important and this had given to you joy and need to show to all the world this discovery (showing it to them through your above post) but I suggest that you think a little more and to try to discover all the things connected with something and not only one specific characteristic of it. I can assure you that your joy in the last case will be way more big than the previous one.

Nobel Prize for Econonics is an award created by the Swedish bank and is completely not related to Alfred Noble's award.

Repeat of my previous post:

It is true but is true even the fact that is treated and awarded in the same way like the other Nobel prizes. From the Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_Memorial_Prize_in_Economic_Sciences

"The Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences (officially Swedish: Sveriges riksbanks pris i ekonomisk vetenskap till Alfred Nobels minne, or the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel), commonly referred to as the Nobel Prize in Economics, and as a "category of the Nobel Prize" by the Nobel Foundation itself, which owns the name Nobel Prize, is an award for outstanding contributions to the field of economics, and generally regarded as the most prestigious award for that field. It is not one of the prizes that Alfred Nobel established in his will in 1895, but instead was established 73 years later by a donation to the foundation from Sweden's central bank, the Sveriges Riksbank, on the bank's 300th anniversary. Winners are announced with the Nobel Prize winners, and receive the award at the same ceremony."
