Satoshi Nakamoto has been nominated to receive Nobel Prize in 2016

[GermanGiant]

When I said Satoshi has got Nobel prize, a few eyebrows were raised and finally the topic was moved to off-topic. But, now it is real. Satoshi Nakamoto has been nominated to receive Nobel Prize in 2016.

He deserves to win the Nobel prize, but can he remain anonymous and win it?

We haven't had a single communication from him for years that's definitely from him. There was a post on a different forum from his old account this year, but nobody can be sure it was really him. The account could have been hacked, or his email name he registered with could have expired. Someone could have registered a new email account using his name if vistomail recycles old expired email names. Then they could have asked for a forum password reset using his old email account's name.

Many industries such as Banking, Finance, Law will see a big upheaval. The consumers will be big beneficiaries and indeed the poor and marginal sections of the society will reap the benefits of financial and social inclusion in the coming decades. I can barely think of another innovation in Economic and Finance in the last several decades whose influence surpasses the welfare increases that will be engendered by Satoshi Nakamoto's brilliant, path-breaking invention. That is why I am nominating him for the Nobel Prize in Economics.

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

God i love quotes.

Has been nominated or will be nominated? I read the article, writer offers for nomination. Annyway, Satoshi deserve this more than any other economists.

[coins101]

We've been saying he should get one for years.

Its only a matter of time.

[Cereberus]

I really do think he deserves this award. It takes most to wait their entire lives to be considered to be nominated for one. He revolutionized how we as a society views how a monetary system should work and be successful at it.

[crackfoo]

They'll just pay him with Bitcoin Duhhh

[chek2fire]

I think is the right person that deserve the nobel prize. His system is a revolution that will change the financial system for ever. I dont know if will take nobel in 2016 but i am sure that he will take it in some day in the future.

It is just a trap to make him reveal himself. They will assassinate him afterwards.

[btcbug]

Barack Obomber won it too and he's a mass murderer! Satoshi is far above meaningless nonsense like this and his TRULY meaningful contribution to this world is only degraded by putting him in the same company as sociopaths.

God is Satoshi!

Assassination by riding in the backseat of a New Jersey taxi?

Moreover, worthy also of the Turing Award - https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_Award - the "Nobel Prize of computing", our Satoshi is.


    The course our city runs is the same towards men and money.

    She has true and worthy sons.

    She has fine new gold and ancient silver,

    Coins untouched with alloys, gold or silver,

    Each well minted, tested each and ringing clear.

    Yet we never use them!

    Others pass from hand to hand,

    Sorry brass just struck last week and branded with a wretched brand.

    So with men we know for upright, blameless lives and noble names.

    These we spurn for men of brass...


    O U O S V A V V

He has not been nominated so far. His name has only suggested to the committee. I don't think he could be. I'm not totally sure about that, but I think there needs to be some exchange between the people nominated and the committee before the award taking place. Satoshi Nakamoto would have to reveal himself if he wants to be nominated.

[gentlemand]

He's moved on to other things. I believe this involves running a burger van in a layby somewhere on the south coast of England. The only thing that might tempt him out of the shadows would be a Michelin star these days.

[Slark]

I wish Satoshi would be eligible to to be nominated and the end receive Nobel Prize. There is very little inventions of our age which really deserve that.
Unfortunate I am quite sure that you can't be anonymous person to receive that prize. Nobel however can be awarded to organisations and group of people as well.

If someone deserves to get Nobel Prize, that is sure inventor of blockchain technology and Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto. Even if he stay anonymous forever and even if "he" is group of ppl. Blockchain technology is in my opinion best invention (not only in economy) happen so far in this century and we still did not see 0.1% of his potential. Nobel Foundation should find way to give that prize.

[gentlemand]

I think it's going to be a good while yet before the rest of the world digests what the technology behind it entails. Even those of us who are mired in it can barely conceive of where it's going to take us. Give it a couple of decades and then check back.

And as if that was not enough, they hacked his website and ridiculed his achievements. Truly disgusting.
