Is Vitalik Buterin Satoshi Nakamoto?

[Nextgen]

I know it may sound crazy, but given the fact that Vitalik is one the most smartest programmers in which he created the Ethereum platform himself (also with a very complex system) it makes me think whenever Vitalik may be Satoshi or not?

There is a team behind Ethereum and he didn't made it all alone.He might be the leader or the one with the idea but there is a difference when people work with a team behind them to backup and when they are independent developers clearing doubts online.

anyways,There is no suspect other than theymos himself to be the inventor of bitcoin.The "satoshi" is just drama IMO.

[Abiky]

analyses of bitcoin core code revealed that there maybe more than one person involved in creating the bitcoin. I think out of millions original bitcoin they mined, probably each person knows about half the private key.
I belive Satoshi is more than one person, definitely not a young kid.

I am starting to think the same way as you mate. Based on my theory, I think that Satoshi could either be Gavin Andresen with Nick Scabo or theymos with Gavin and Nick, don't you think? 

Anyways, what matters most is not who Satoshi is, but instead what he did (and that was Bitcoin with the Blockchain)

[FinalFantasy]

I don't think this Satoshi Nakamota fella is good for the BTC community. He's a freak with a ton of coin!!

[Amadues]

a boy of 14 years old can't imagine all this project!
also he has at this age the ability to write a paper like "btc paper" so don't make me laugh ...
the ability of a full professor at 14 age is too much to ear

VB -> born 1994. BTC -> white paper 2008.
Would have been age 14 FYI

That is true. But considering that he is very smart at just 22 years of age (based on calculations from this year) I think that he might knew something at just 14 years of age don't you think? 

I'd say it's pretty much impossible, no way that a 14 year old could write something so complex as the Bitcoin whitepaper.

Those who know would not confirm his identity, time to move on with speculation until he chooses to reveal himself.. or not.

I think that is different "evolve" btc from create it... I think is not easy imagine all aspects related this coin.... make a clone is an easy step

What do you think it would happen if Satoshi reveals his identity? Perhaps, a lot of people would be after him asking a lot of questions about Bitcoin and the Blockchain, or maybe governments would be after him until he is caught in jail for good (maybe) So I think, that for the sake of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies it is not best to know who Satoshi is.  

[kingaltcoins]

Never!
There is a huge generation gap between Vitalik Buterin and Satoshi Nakamoto

Also as far as I know Satoshi had already left the crypto scene and has died by now.

"We promote financial invitation"
"Jail the guy that created bitcoin!"

he won't be put in jail... but we would most certainly bombard him with questions comments and such

I don't think governments can jail the creator of a coin. Now, the creator of a currency exchange, that is another matter . . .

what you read such things?
satoshi died?
mmm stop spread wasted news!!

[MyBTT]

No, definitely not!

The Bitcoin core software was not written overnight, therefore he would have to start already one or two years earlier at the age of 12 or 13. Impossible from my point of view.

He could have been, but it is just a really low chance that he is Satoshi. Someone at that age just couldn't be that smart.

I think that he is referring to Satoshi's loss of absence in the crypto world, in which you could say that he is "dead" by some time ago. In order to protect his identity, I think that he did a very smart move. If he would have been active all this time, I think he would have risked the chance of getting caught.

yes but there are a big diff... between a people dead and an "absence/silent".
For what I know there are nothing "sure" at this moment...

maybe satosi can be jail with Tax fee, he must pay more than $100m . like last story about australian people claim he is satoshi nakamoto. this is make satoshi nakamoto still hiding from public.

i would think he would need to sell for USD to be subject to their tax laws.

are we getting taxed simply for holding assets these days?

The income from bitcoin mining  is the main reason for taxing, satoshi must pay some percent from his mining income, maybe goverment will accept bitcoin as payment of tax fee, then he sell his bitcoin in dark market or open auction to sell it.

When he mined 1 million btc it was only worth about a total of $100 at the time it was mined. Even if he was a U.S. citizen, he would only owe the IRS about $30. As long as he doesn't trade, no capital gains. No tax liability. No law broken. Instead of jail time, he would get a Nobel Prize.
