This thread is now about the Treaty of Tordesillas. Further proof that psy is Satoshi.

Satoshi is just an Artificial Intelligence. I won't be surprised if it was created by an accident in a Google lab.
THIS And the first question for this A.I. was : how to find moar powa ? Give people a imaginary coin for calcul sharing.. Genius !

Lost coins only make everyone else's coins worth slightly more. Think of it as a donation to everyone. it has lots of buttery taste..

We live in a simulation - the programmers run various scenarios to fix their own f@cked up economy. Satoshi is the name of the software house (like Microsoft or Google). ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

Next question: Who killed Satoshi? (What if Satoshi was given an order to create a p2p currency and after he competed his work one of the 3-letter agencies got rid of him?)

Im sure Satoshi does not care much about bitcoin. He just wants to cash out his holdings. I'm guessing for him it's a full time occupation, working out how he's going to do it. I cant imagine anyone with so much money would be bothered to work. Plus he would need to keep a close eye on the exchanges and news to watch for anything that could affect his net worth. IMO, (many ppl may not agree - fair enough) Satoshi is not one person. It is 3 people as identified by a magazine article recently published , with undeniable evidence that has been presented about Satoshi. If one goes through this article and does some research on the people mentioned, looks at their previous postings (one in particular has a style very similar to satoshi), you will also be able to see that they have posted on these forums under different usernames since Satoshi disappeared. Whilst using the search function I noticed 1 suspicious example. http://bit.ly/WkjEHgRE: uncirculating bitcoins http://eprint.iacr.org/2012/584.pdfIt is interested that apparently an 'unknown entity' has commanded 3 million BTCs distributed across 78,000 addresses. Im not sure if the entity still owns this many BTCs however. It would be interested to identity this person. Similar anonymous entities (ex Mt Gox & identified mining pools) have processed: (just copying from the paper here) 940,000 BTC 870,000 BTC 690,000 BTC ... with a further 11 entities processed amounts of over 400,000 BTC. Now ok I understand that this list is probably mainly mining pools & miners but also could more than 1 of them be Satoshi. The number of ppl who could accumulate so many BTCs in such a short time is very small (this was in May 2012). (up until May 13th 2012) we discovered that most of the minted bitcoins remain dormant in addresses which had never participated in any outgoing transactions. We found out that there is a huge number of tiny transactions which move only a small fraction of a single bit- coin, but there are also hundreds of transactions which move more than 50,000 bitcoins.
The design of bitcoin, the complexity around it, required more than 1 very smart person. In addition, the way in which someone has distributed their holdings amoungst so many addresses - it's very smart. I dont think any of these coins are 'lost'. IMO these coins will emerge at some point, maybe alongside 'Satoshi' himself. Thanks also to Citigroup for this research as it seems they funded the paper. THe biggest 4 addresses as of now have been identified to below to Silk Road and Coinad. I don't think Satoshi created the bitcoin just to cash out his holdings, looking in retrospective everyone can claim that they should have come up with such an idea, but who could have envisioned that this thing could become so successful that it can actually produce a few millionaires? It would seem plausible that the only attention bitcoin would get is some random people coming around to take a glimpse at his paper and code, and leave some trashy comments, and nothing more-the internet is full of dead projects. If someone was so convinced to devote such a huge part of his/their time to create and maintain such a project, I am sure there was something else motivating him, other than wealth. Not to say that whether it's one or several people, their intelligence and capability should be able to land a fine job for them.

If someone claims to be Satoshi, how would you want them to prove it? Maybe release the bitcoins from the first few unspent transactions?

There only like 5 million bucks on MtGox.
well over 8 and that is just on the open orders Exactly...there Isn't much money available if someone tried to sell millions of coins all at once...certainly not $500 million! We can't all sell our cons at once and all of us make "money."

Because Satoshi is not a human, but Purple alien. This (*coin project) special operation was called "Nakamoto" by Purples. The goal of the "Nakamoto"-plan - to enslave Earth and humans. The first step : create *coin(s) and suck into them all wealth on the planet. The second step : destroy all *coins. The final step : invade Earth < after 1) and 2) it'll be relatively easy. > Haha, quite funny. Here goes mine... Give those primitive creatures a tool that preserves wealth, incentivezes saving and frees them of "leeches" = Check
Wait for the moment their IQ is over 100 and start inventing real defense systems, like star-ships and laser cannons, and be fair with them. We then can invade Earth = Waiting for it...

Satoshi is a time-traveler who came from a dystopian future where centrally-managed currencies have caused economic havok and chaos. Strapping himself in his machine, he pushed a button and popped up on the outskirts of a major city. Making his way to the nearest hackspace, he began his coding odyssey.
When the whitepaper was complete, along with the code for the first client running along on his personal network, he sent the results out into the greater internet for it to germinate into the vibrant movement that it is today.
Looking down at his monitor, he only had a few seconds to consider what he had accomplished, before his upstream timeline was wiped out by the tsunami of change that bitcoin will be.
A well worn coin dropped to the floor from thin air, rolling to rest in the cracks of the dingy linoleum. The world had been saved, but would never know the man that started it all.
