Economic Nobel prize for Satoshi Nakamoto

[Kprawn]

What would the point be? Satoshi Nakamoto might not be who we think it is. It might be a group of people or even a whole secret agency. We

know who created SHA, why not Bitcoin? Satoshi might be a serial killer or a Paedophile or even a group of them... just imagine the

embarrassment, if a Nobel prize is given to Satoshi and it turns out that he or she is someone sinister. Before I get crucified, I am not saying

that he/she or they are bad, but what if they were.

I agree altogether. If Satoshi could be literally anyone, then we should be behaving like that's literally the case, and that includes the whole range of everyone, including people we would prefer he were not.

Yes he deserves that nobel prize because he had done enough and more. He had started a new era of currency which modern era definitely needs so some country are moving to digital money.

We might attend that day when Nobel prize goes for him, but I think that day is far, because blockchain technology still at the start of the road, a lot of banks and governments around the world are interested in this technology, blockchain will change the economic world for better in the coming years.

your theories about satoshi doesn't make any sense.
bitcoin code is obviously written by an experienced coder and people knew him back then people like Hal Finney were even in contact with him, characters like what you mentioned can not become a good coder.

[bryant.coleman]

While the proposal is good, I don't think that it can be put to practise. First of all, we don't know anything about the real identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. We don't even know whether he is dead or alive. Also, what if "Satoshi Nakamoto" is a group of individuals rather than a single person? And another complexity is that if the real identity is known, then there will be legal issues (related to the usage of Bitcoin in the dark markets).

I wonder why they would give a Nobel Prize to someone for doing something on internet which does not have any physical existence nor much usage which would prove it able enough to get that price, i'm not sure if that is even possible, and even if they announce this, who will get it? Would satoshi appear for this thing in front of the world?

No, there's absolutely nothing known about Satoshi, other than what he wrote on this forum (and previously on cryptography mailing list). And it was only ever about Bitcoin, you simply cannot deduce anything else about him, other than that he was one or more humans.

Also, it's well established that he almost certainly was not an experienced coder, or at least he spent a lot of effort to give the impression he was not. Every experienced coder that has examined the way the 0.1 Bitcoin codebase was structured agrees on that, only an experienced coder that was trying to disguise how experienced they were would have structured Bitcoin 0.1 the way Satoshi did it.

Yeap, that was my first thought... Who do they give it to? We know nothing about the creator of bitcoin, only that he's called Satoshi Nakamoto and that can be a pseudonym, and as you said, considering the bitcoins involvment in darkweb and criminal, I don't think he will ever be reveal himself to the public. Maybe they can just announce the winner of the price but not necessarily hand him the prize.

Very interesting idea...but it will never happen
Why?
First, anonymous people can never receive this award.
Second, Bitcoin is still not part of mainstream.
Third, official financial and banking sector are against bitcoin.

Are there any archived posts on this forum from Satoshi?

hm, looks like he was really trying to hide his trails by pretending that he was a inexperienced coder or even if he really wasn't, he probably had a vision, an idea and tried to learn coding quickly in order to fulfill that idea, that's probably why it's open sourced, so that many more experienced coder can improve what he started.

I don't really know, but what I do know is that knowing the identity of bitcoin creator(s) is the one thing I one to know before I die.

Now I have to say, most Nobel Prizes (except for the stupid peace prize, and probably Economics too) are given for achievements that are absolute breakthroughs.  From what I understand, the blockchain concept is revolutionary but I don't think bitcoin or any other blockchain-based thing has proven itself to be as useful as many masturbators here think. 

the whole concept is still way less than ten years old. of course the potential still hasn't been digested in full yet. the concepts that bitcoin introduced absolutely will change a huge amount of of things. we haven't even started to warm up.

way too early for a nobel prize and it's a worthless bauble anyway.

I like it : 'we haven't even started to warm up"  . If blockchain technology and bitcoin could last at least 20 years, it's gonna be huge digital gold and has mass adoption. I think Mr. Satoshi deserved to get that nobel even not given directly to him because bitcoin is a breakthrough to economic system.

Its a great idea why not he deserves one. If war criminal can get it. I think the community needs to get behind him, but does any one who is he and where is he. I hope he gets it, will be a big thing for the Bitcoin community.

[Sithara007]

Right now, the Nobel prices are decided based on political consideration rather than merit. We, as Bitcoin users know the worth of the crypto-currency. And all of us are thankful to Satoshi, for creating such a currency. We don't need a certification from the Nobel council to confirm it.

[Victorycoin]

We know the the blockchain technology is the source why Bitcoin is really good. It was just the first cryptocurrency to adopt it. Unless they have really made an impact here in our world with real applications (not saying that it is not applied yet) it needs to make an impact to the whole world. To have a nobel prize award, you need to make a great impact towards mankind. Blockchain is really revolutionary but it's still at its infancy. There are a lot of things yet to be discovered and improved.

Looks like you have not been looking aright, because Satoshi's invention, blockchain is revolutionary. It has brought us to a frontier for trust and security like none before it and that cuts across every facet of life and not just a money thing. A lot of sectors are currently looking in on how to adopt this discovery, including the banks. People might be divided about bitcoin, but many more do agree on blockchain.

Satoshi's blockchain is life changing and is deserving of a Noble Prize award. Only problem is that he went under after coming up with such an amazing discovery, though that can be understood from the point of view of the government over bitcoin. I think if he had not gone under, the authorities  would have compelled him to abort bitcoin, because it does not speak their mind.

[sportis]

    Why not? I think it's worth getting Satoshi Nakamoto the Nobel prize. I don't know if it will be on the economics sector or innovation. But its contribution to the achievement of a completely different vision on economic transactions globally, that is blockchain technology,  is something that should not be passed unnoticed by the critics of Nobel prizes. On the other hand there is an issue with Nakamoto identity. Is he a real person or not?

[beerlover]

Yes he deserves that nobel prize because he had done enough and more. He had started a new era of currency which modern era definitely needs so some country are moving to digital money.

Yes I am also agree with you, he really deserve to receive the noble price, I will really like to attend that program when he will receive noble price, but I think it can only be possible if governments will consider bitcoin as legal currency.

[avikz]

I would have been very happy if Mr nakamoto win Nobel Prize for life changing innovation. Bitcoin is truly a life changing innovation that has changed many lives across the globe.

That's a good idea, he definitely deserves it. The thing is, however, he won't disclose his identity even for receiving the Nobel Prize, in my opinion. He has too much to hide from the stupid tax agencies which will try to put him in jail for "tax evasion". I know they will be not right in doing that but I'm sure they will try anyway.

[BlackPanda]

This will be one of the awards unique in the world. will appear a new award that can change the world thinking about bitcoin. This is revolutionary.
