Satoshi Nakamoto has been nominated to receive Nobel Prize in 2016

[beepboopbeep]

He should get it. Bitcoin is peace and love man.

[maokoto]

Well it is not really about him, but about someone who says he would get the price in his place...

[joecooin]

Just about to write a press release on this on behalf of the Bundesverband Bitcoin, kinda the German equivalent to a Bitcoin foundation.

In order to fullfill my journalist duties I need to ask Satoshi for a comment on this, which I herewith am trying to do here.

NRE!

Okay, I'll admit it.  Where do I have to go to pick up my prize?

If in fact Satoshi Nakamoto was nominated and actually won the award, how would he prove that he is the person he says he is if Satoshi Nakamoto was just a pseudonym?  And, what's gonna stop every Tom, Dick, and Harry from stepping up to claim the award?

While accepting the noble prize is good, for sure he wouldn't show up.
If he did, it would change his life forever and will never have privacy for the rest of his life.

So, it's finally possible for an anonymous person/group to receive Nobel Prize
But since he/she is anonymous, he/she can't pick the prize expect he/she tell his/her bitcoin address.

But, i think it's difficult to happen now, maybe it can happen in future.

Maybe we can have someone else step up to accept the prize on behalf of satoshi
The closest one i can think of is dorian
Or maybe the current maintainer of Bitcoin core itself

[Hugroll]

im not sure about the credibility about that article, it seems like the person that wrote it just wants the money that satoshi would potentially win.
If satoshi actually wins the nobel prize of economics though, this would be great news for bitcoin, it would bring tons of publicity and awareness to bitcoin and attract new users.

If sato naka going to get the award real than it is time to buy bitcoin in bulk. The price going to sky rocket soon as the committee announce sato naka won.

Don't speculate like that,
there's no guarantee that satoshi gonna win the nobel prize, he just got nominated to be
And i don't think he's going to win anyway because he never revealed his face before, and i don't think he can win nobel prize with that condition
Unless he reveals his face which won't happen because satoshi don't want part of his privacy getting hit

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.

Love me or Hate me... you can not ignore me

Nakamoto getting a Nobel prize seems like an awesome idea. I don't think that he'll anymore remain anonymous if he gets nominated for the prize. Also, it doesn't seem like Satoshi owns the bitcoin address mentioned in the huffingtonpost anymore.

[lottery248]

satoshi identity is not confirmed. 

[tom555]

Who is Satoshi Nakamoto? We don't really know.
Where does he work and which country does he live in? We don't know.
Which scholarly journals in the field of Economics or Finance has he published his research in? Not in any of the reputed journals that one would look for.
if you excpect this question,just ask to someone or website who know everything about Nobel Prize.
thats not too important,just think easily,if nakamoto included to nobel candidate,so i'm sure they know anything about nakamoto,but if this just a fault,you can check again that website

Geneva Switzerland.
That is where they get awarded the nobel peace prize, so this one should be the same venue.

[rslsrkr]

After reading this post I cannot withstand to say that the Nobel community now should add a criteria of awarding the prize for an idea specifically rather than to the person.

[Possum577]

Nominations are great!

Technically there is no Nobel Prize for Economics - so what category would Satoshi qualify for? E.g., Peace, Physics, Chemistry, Literature, Medicine?) There is a prize for Economic Sciences but it's not a Nobel Prize.

It would be cool if his contribution to economics were honored...perhaps it's a bit too soon. The impact of his work hasn't been fully realized by the world.

The award ceremonies are not conducted in Switzerland.

The Nobel Peace prize is awarded in Oslo, Norway.

The Nobel prizes for Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Literature, and the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences are all awarded in Stockholm, Sweden.

Ah my mistake. I have to get my European geography sorted out with these current events.
So we might see a proxy to accept the award for Satoshi Nakamoto  in Sweden.

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

Ha ha! I dont know if you are serious. But yes, he deserved to win it. A lot of people would say he is a 'pioneer' in his field. and his idea has actually attracted millions of people worldwide. Me thinks he deserves a Nobel.

I don't know from where do you guys come up with those stories. How many altcoin developers have been assassinated till now?? Or why will something like that happen?

[Kprawn]

This would probably be the most controversial nominee, if it will happen. See the list --> http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/lists/all/

Albert Einstein, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr is sitting in paradise... discussing the new nominees for the 2015 Nobel prize.

Albert Einstein : Who is this Satoshi Nakamoto?

Martin : Dunno, but he must be black.

Nelson : Yea, He fights against injustice and sounds very anti-establishment. He must be black.

Albert : You being racist now....

Martin : Says the white guy...  

Nelson : Anyone for more refreshments?

Albert : I will have another double Jack Daniels.

Martin : Give me a double Jim Beam with water.

Nelson : You guys talk a lot of shit, when you boozed up.
