Is there a chance Satoshi is dead? Car accident, heart failure, ect

[Daniel91]

He may be death or alive.
Satoshi can be organization and live forever.
Who cares, any way?
Enjoy the ride with bitcoin and don't spend time on staff you can't know.

Satoshi Nakamoto the Inventor of Bitcoin and Blockchain Technology is here .......
Ask Satoshi Any Question ?

I'm wonder why Satoshi never reveal his/her identity but whoever reason he/she must have reason for doing it.
I think bitcoin can be use for something criminal so Satoshi want to protect his/her family because creating bitcoin = create another way to transaction especially for bad transaction !

the strange part is that he was MIA before the big jump of bitcoin, so it wasn't because he was rich or something, bitcoin value was still below $1 and with his amount he coudl barely reach 200k dollars...

therefore the other reason must be an accident that cost his life or something else that we can't think about

[bitbunnny]

He might be dead, of course, accidents and bad things can happen to anyone. But in such case I think that is the most likely that his identity would be revealed so if something like this happened we would have heard. So, he is probably alive but very well hidden from public because he wants so.

I think Satoshi is not one man rather group of people,anybody will die one day,his coins,like you have wrote sell of that coins will create panic but he took his profit already.But maybe bitcoin is developed by aliens civilisation

[Victorycoin]

In my opinion, I'd never think Satoshi Nakamoto is the real person behind bitcoin.

Most people share the same point of view, his real identity could be anything but Satoshi. Nevertheless, he gave the world an award winning piece.

I don't think he created bitcoin and leave it without a good reasons.

The entire scheme has a grand master touch, so to have moved on without it, I think must be for good reasons. One of which is his safety and to allow others discover Bitcoin and Blockchain by themselves.

Bitcoin algorithm is too complex and too perfect to create by one man. Correct me if I am wrong.

I believe the idea was his alright, but he got a team of like minds around him. Guess that explains the title on the documentations and earlier posts made here bears Satoshi.

Of course there is a chance Satoshi is not alive anymore. Especially since he was supposed to have been in his forties or fifties, according to many research work. Personally, I think Satoshi is still alive and working on new projects. Perhaps he has already launched a new project under another pseudonym. I am firmly convinced of that.

Exactly, i would say the same, "who cares?" Just enjoy what you have got and forget about the things that are not of your concern. What if Satoshi is dead? Or what if he is alive and hiding because of some reason? We have gotten something great because of him and we are thankful to him for that, we don't know if he is one individual or a group or something, but we just got bitcoin from him/them so we should just enjoy.

We need to ask psychics, perhaps they will reveal the truth... or create more questions.
Sometimes it is better to believe in the legend than to know the truth.

[South Park]

If Satoshi is dead then someone inherited his bitcoins, wife or other relatives and they would spend it long ago no doubt...
I don't think that nobody of his relatives had no clue of what satoshi was doing, when he was inventing Bitcoin.

There is no guarantee no one other than satoshi himself knows his true identity, maybe he never told his wife or other people because he had fears that they could not keep the secret and could eventually leaked out and eventually his identity be discovered.

[aardvark15]

He most likely just wants to stay anonymous and is holding some coins. But it is also possible that he has died. That will happen eventually of course, and Bitcoin will continue to survive.

[Creepings]

I am having of an idea that satoshi is dead, and I think that he did invent the bicoin and he had some workers that know what he had done and what happened to him. So the point is there are people that might be inherited of satoshis work, and I think the other workers that was not inherited by satoshi create they're own currency that can be related to bitcoin.

[thisappointed]

Nobody seems to have a good answer to where Satoshi has gone and why he and his coins have not been seen for years.

I can think of only a few reasons why that might be.

1. He wants btc to succeed and knows spending his coins will cause a massive panic.
2. He is already rich and has no need for more money.
3. He was hired/tagged by an agency or institution and is under NDA.
4. He is sick of btc.
5. He hates attention/spotlight and does not want the leadership role.

What if the answer is even simpler? He had a car accident / heart failure and died. His wallets are lost and therefore never spent.

This is so much more reasonable and probable than "satoshi is an AI" or other crazy theories here. It's sad, but I think this might be the truth.

I guess you are right, your theories are a lot of reasonable than the others saying that Satoshi is an A.I which is really ridiculous. The number 5 in your option is probably the right one why Satoshi Nakamoto is hiding himself from the crowd, because he might thinking that many people envy him and wants to kill him for his money, since he is a really rich man because of his Bitcoin, I guess this is his only reason for hiding in a cave, just my opinion.

[nara1892]

Yes there is a chance that Satoshi is dead because we don't know his real identity. There is a possibility that before he announced to the world his identity, he died due to some reason but we cannot tell what reason it is. He may have died with car accident, heart attack or someone had murdered him. No one can tell.

yeah, it is possible because he is a human being (according to what most people here say). you know, nobody is immortal. I just wonder, is it possible that someone can keep hiding a big secret without telling someone the truth. I think someone or some people out there know why satoshi is not seen.

[Catmony]

Of course there is a chance Satoshi is not alive anymore. Especially since he was supposed to have been in his forties or fifties, according to many research work. Personally, I think Satoshi is still alive and working on new projects. Perhaps he has already launched a new project under another pseudonym. I am firmly convinced of that.

So what you think, what type of project he may be working right now?

I think he is already dead and his private keys were hidden somewhere which nobody gonna recover anytime soon. So we don't have to worry about getting him back active and transferring his bitcoin to any exchanger and sell them out. 

[Przemax]

If Satoshi is the NSA, then somewhere in Utah dudes are laughin' their motherfuckin asses off at this post.

The people in power are one sick mfuckers so I would vote on the most sick way to encourage a greed in people. Lets face the facts. Bitcoin is and never will challange any power. Any people that believe its otherwise is a laughing stock.

I think it is better for bitcoin that he never disclosed his identity, that way there is mystery in the creation of bitcoin, satoshi could be anyone, maybe he is still a user of this forum under other user name, or may be not, we don’t know.

[BitGikI]

first of all if he died the coins wouldnt just go away, it would just be inherated like people said above me, and thats probably not it, i'd say he just doesnt need to use it all and he knows by doing that he will cause more panic and lose himself money.

[Hazir]

If Satoshi was Hal Finney, he ded.

If Satoshi was John Nash, he ded.

If Satoshi is Craig Wraight, he is a jackass.
Any kind of theory crafting about Satoshi's real identity is pure speculation. Everything Op posted might be true.
We need to take into account that over course of years we didn't get any closer to finding out who Satoshi is/was.
At this point it is hard to believe that someone will find a new piece of evidence pointing to who hides under the Satoshi persona.

[Searing]

If Satoshi was Hal Finney, he ded.

If Satoshi was John Nash, he ded.

What keeps me up at night is if craig wright was part of this group and as last man standing has access to the so called
bitcoin trust supposedly made (he claims) and he will have sole access to in 2020.  Like 500 million usd or more by then.

He and others who believe him are running about patenting stuff as we speak.

Likely, it is just the 'long con" on his part...and he is NOT Satoshi (or related with the group of above other 2 guys as he claims)

BUT IF TRUE he will have access to the trust in 2020...

Which leads me to believe ....he will dump big time just to slap us all down (the whole world) for NOT believing him. If he is the anarchist
he claims to be. (and the spiteful little man I suspect he is)

He is quite the ASS imho.

I give the odds of like 5 out of 100. But as far as boogieman bitcoin wise..this is a doozy.
