Satoshi Nakamoto - Nationality

[20kevin20]

He's anonymous, and nobody knows who he is. I bet he would have been arrested until now if he would have been known by us. He has created a currency Governments can't live with. They want to find him, I'm pretty sure about that!

More likely arrested  for not paying taxes from his million coins stash. Especially if he is really resident from UK or USA as most assume, as these countries have little tolerance when someone dont pay proper taxes. And Satoshi Nakamoto posts suggests he is indeed native english speaker and the Japanese name is just pseudonym.

[Pursuer]

satoshi nakamoto's nationality is of blockchain. he lives and dies with bitcoin and blockchain and will always remain anonymous as he intended to stay this way forever.

[countryfree]

Satoshi Nakamoto cannot be a refugee. Refugees are poor, and they need to work long hours in difficult conditions to make it, whereas Satoshi Nakamoto must have had a peaceful environment for a long time to think about BTC and to create it. So he was a pretty well-off guy, but who should cares about his damned nationality? His creation doesn't have borders, let's not give him a birthplace to create some sense of location.

If Satoshi is a resident of the UK these rules apply

For VAT purposes Bitcoin and similar cryptocurrencies will be treated as follows below, this in no way reflects on how they are treated for regulatory or other purposes:

income received from Bitcoin mining activities will generally be outside the scope of VAT on the basis that the activity does not constitute an economic activity for VAT purposes because there is an insufficient link between any services provided and any consideration received
income received by miners for other activities, such as for the provision of services in connection with the verification of specific transactions for which specific charges are made, will be exempt from VAT under Article 135(1)(d) of the EU VAT Directive as falling within the definition of ‘transactions, including negotiation, concerning deposit and current accounts, payments, transfers, debts, cheques and other negotiable instruments’
when Bitcoin is exchanged for Sterling or for foreign currencies, such as Euros or Dollars, no VAT will be due on the value of the Bitcoins themselves
charges (in whatever form) made over and above the value of the Bitcoin for arranging or carrying out any transactions in Bitcoin will be exempt from VAT under Article 135(1)(d) as outlined at 2 above

However, in all instances, VAT will be due in the normal way from suppliers of any goods or services sold in exchange for Bitcoin or other similar cryptocurrency. The value of the supply of goods or services on which VAT is due will be the sterling value of the cryptocurrency at the point the transaction takes place

The name refers that he is Japanese , but I don't believe that this name is the real name of Bitcoin creator , also I think they are group of people not one person .
maybe Bitcoin in the beginning was useless for the governments , but when the market cap reached 10 Billion Dollars , I think some governments or big financial companies started their own attempts to control Bitcoin or exploit it for their own benifit , so I believe that some governments control by Bitcoin now .

and no one will know who he is because he wanted to hide himself and he did it perfectly though if i had to take a wild guess i would go with india

[bitbunnny]

Maybe we will never know who he really is. And I guess that is in his best interest not to reveal the true identity. I wouldn't say the exact nationatility but I would say that he is somwhere from Asia.

[bias]

if Satoshi Nakamoto happened to be Craig am sure we all know his nationality but I think satoshi nakamoto was the collective name of the computer scientistics involved in the bitcoin engineering.... there is no nationality involved

[Kprawn]

Let's be creative guys, stop with all the "Bitcoin is borderless" just for this discussion. If he is a human, he or she has to live somewhere... and that puts him or them in a specific area on this planet. I

am convinced that he must be UK or USA but they live everywhere these days.  ... I doubt that it will be CW from Australia, but that is a debate for another thread.  Cmon be creative and give

us the Satoshi group nationality.

Satoshi Nakamoto is the nickname of the person who created bitcoin. He wanted to remain anonymous and didn't want a lot of publicity for himself. Let's leave it that way as this was intentionally done by him.

[0day]

The name is a pure Japanese name, so it mean he will be from Japan, as only Japanese like their names to be from Japanese words, none of the other countries' people like their names to be from Japanese. So from the name we can easily find that Satoshi is from Japan.

Bitcoin transcends national borders. Satoshi Nakamoto would not belong to any country. He/she/they would be on the Refugee team.

Athletes that joined the Refugee team comes from somewhere but they are not been choose by their country because of many reasons so they are listed to the Refugee team. I think that he or they are very anonymous for us but someone should know them until now, my opinion is that he/they should be from U.S or from China. But still the Satoshi Nakamoto's identity's mysterious we can only speculate.

[bravehearth0319]

Satoshi nakamoto is anonymous there not nationality
the flag nationality in crypto curency leading in the world

Yeah, satoshi identity is unknown and therefore nationality was unknown. For me personally it does not really matter, the important thing is that we were lucky to know bitcoin, which he created.

its not important whether what he/she's nationality or citizenship is, besides bitcoin became popular or well known without his/her complete information, because the community patronize it so well due its lots of advantages of having it in ourlives.

[QuestionAuthority]

I found a picture of Satoshi's house. It's where he wrote Bitcoin.

It's located at 1 Honey Pot Lane, Ft. Meade, Maryland

[bravehearth0319]

he is one person, with have eyes, lips, hair, can write with keyboards. satoshi nakamoto don't want his/her life to discuss, he wants to be in behind of the scene and watching all of this happen.

All of us here in this forum we know that there is only one person behind who is responsible for this thing and that is Satoshi nakamoto.
I agreed also that this person doesn't want his/her life to discuss, and thats the question really don't know Why? so I think the creator of bitcoin is very simple or low profile person. BUt in my assesment for me he's an asean type of a person.

australia how the people who say that he is satoshi Nakamoto? I think it proves that satoshi Nakamoto is not necessarily the Japanese people and he is also not necessarily satoshi Nakamoto. its not clear?

[fantom1962]

British or American.The Briticisms could have also been a subterfuge, or they could have been real.

[Ryanteck]

until now the existence Satoshi Nakamoto is still a mystery, no one knows its origin from which country. but I think that Nakamoto satoshi name comes from Japan?

[Kolder]

The name is a pure Japanese name, so it mean he will be from Japan, as only Japanese like their names to be from Japanese words, none of the other countries' people like their names to be from Japanese. So from the name we can easily find that Satoshi is from Japan.

i think so but considering the fact that BTC is not popular as much as in European counrtry, I'm now confused if that name is just an alias so that he might cover his true identity because we all know that BTC has negative feature at the early stage when it developed and release. I think the devs is not careless to choose that name because it is obviously a vulgar name, And as i proof that the dev is not careless on his moves, Until now he is not been identified.
