Satoshi Nakamoto and the Nobel Memorial Prize

[Snorek]

Perhaps the prize will make him come to light. Who knows.

He is madly rich. If he wanted to be famous celebrity he would show himself alredy. It is either he don't want to be in a public eye and has reasons not to disclose his identity.
Or (I hope not) he is already dead like Hal Finney etc. The point is: a petty award is not gonna lure Satoshi out of his seclusion.

All are suppositions who knows if satoshi nakamoto still alive? may he didn't turn up cos he couldn't..

I think people need to move on and forget the creator of the protocol and start to work towards development.


Nobel price who cares. long time ago they stop to reward  good scientist.

Satoshi Nakamoto for the 2016 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.?
What do you think about this? Are you agree with? Why?
Many people agree that the invention of Satoshi Nakamoto has changed the financial world, and due to the las mentioned
He would be a totally worthy person to gain it.

As far as I understand, he was only suggested for the nomination (how many others were also suggested? idk). And truth to be told, it is not officially a Nobel Prize actually. IMO he deserves much more than that.

The candidate of Satoshi Nakamoto has been offered by Bhagwan Chowdhry, UCLA Professor of Finance. The Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences that Nakamoto can get is not officially a Nobel Prize. It was established by Sweden’s central bank, Sveriges Riksbank, in memory of Nobel Prize founder Alfred Nobel. It is awarded annually in December at Nobel Prize Award Ceremony.

He is supposed to own 1 million bitcoins. If the price of bitcoin goes to $10,000 each, he will be worth $10 billion. Still not as high as Bill Gates (79 billion) and Warren Buffet (66B).

I know he deserves it! But, if we don't know who he is, and giving that nobody knows his real identity, who will receive the prize for him?

It's notable, but he/she/they have no chance of winning because it is still new. Whether or not Bitcoin has actually changed anything has yet to be seen.

not this year but in the next years he will win it

It's not bitcoin it's the blockchain tech he/she/they invented that would be the reason for their victory.

Blockchain technology is the what the bitcoin is based on. Blockchain is to be used in many parts of our lives. When banks use that, it will cut their cost and save lots of money for them.

Yeah, the blockchain tech may be what ends up being the greatest benefit to the greatest number of people. I think  we're way too soon though. The impacts haven't been realized by many at all. If he were to get the nomination  now  it would be similar to the Nobel Peace prize going to Barack Obama (without him actually having  spent  a  lifetime fighting for peace, obviously he hasn't - he's gone to war!)

I don't think the blockchain or bitcoin will fail, but we need more evidence that it had a significant impact on many. We're just not there yet.

Give a very wealthy human being a monetary acknowledgment for his contributions to finan...I mean science and then what?

Are we going to give George Soros props for BitGold too? This is a strange world.
