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

[ufaiz50]

all events are said to have OP could possibly happen because we don't know who and what is satoshi? I have the opinion that satoshi is an organization well I think if just one person who makes bitcoin it a little impossible

If FBI or CIA was eager to find who the hell satoshi is, i am pretty sure they would identify him in a very short time.

In fact, either they already know who he is or there is no need for all this because they are (USA) satoshi.

Do you really think that an anonymous forum account would protect you from the FBI? What about the other admins? If the FBI knocks (or knocked) their doors, they would sing satoshi's identity like birds.

He dead? I don't think so.

Actually we don't know who is Satoshi or who is the team behind satoshi (I think that there were or are more people than 1)

If they or he is dead then the bitcoin number that are available is less than it was before so the price may be increased.

You are just speculating which we really can't believe or have any idea who is behind the bitcoin.

They don't know shit, they're idiots with no resources.

Bitcoin value high or low does not depends upon if the bitcoin creator Satoshi live or dead. Bitcoins are being mined and satoshi has nothing to do with that. It does not matter much if we did not know the exact person behind this technology but we do know that whoever he was , he was genius and master mind.

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.

The chances that he is dead are rather high. He could have been the guy that had that terminal illness and got his body cryogenized, and he was the first miner and the person to recieve a transaction from satoshi himself, I forgot his name, how was it?

Even if he isnt that guy, im pretty sure he could have been another guy that is now dead. That, or he forget his keys, lost them, or he is a hardcore long term holder.

Well, considering that satoshi supposedly always used Tor to enter this forum, all they would get from his posts are Tor ip addresses, which means the FBI would have nothing work with.

Even if he used his normal internet connection, most ISP delete logs after a couple of years (but again, I think he used Tor)

Therefore they couldn't catch him.

I think the name you are looking for is Hal Finney.

As far as I can see that we haven't had any idea about who really is Satoshi. Is satoshi a person, a group, a company or even a computer program, this still remains a mystery of mankind. So there could be many possibilities about what happened to Satoshi. But why do we have to bother what has been the case, as long as bitcoin still has certain developments, Satoshi won't be such a big problem.

[Juggy777]

Satoshi I feel clearly knew that if he would made himself public, he would have been first humiliated and then tortured to death and Bitcoin would never have evolved. It would have ended and that guy took a hit for the future of Bitcoin, but no all we have to do is criticize him for hiding without even understanding that his identity would have meant a sure death for Bitcoin. It is every day we should thank him, for staying anomous and making sure Bitcoin lived forever. We should just respect it and move on.

[bob123]

The possibility of Satoshi being dead exists.. but personally i dont think this is the case.
If i would have invented something like BTC, i would give them to my relatives after my death..
And i cant believe they didnt make use them..

My thought is, he wants to stay anonymous.. People love him, people hate him.. its better to stay anonymous..

[Yakamoto]

There is always a chance that an important figure who hasn't said anything for over 5 years is dead, however I would doubt it for now until there is any sort of serious confirmation about it.

I believe he just decided it would be best to leave the community for the time he's been gone, and if he did die then we might just never really get any new information from him or anyone who knew him again.

[cpfreeplz]

Wtf I'm not dead? I mean, satoshi isn't dead. He's probably just busy with a new project that he can't discuss on the forum because it's totally top secret etc. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Move along folks, nothing to see here.

[jak3]

i do not think that satoshi nakamoto is dead because i do not care on that but if anyone takes the name and the fame of this system like his relatives or his family members and can really prove that he or she is related to satishi then i am sure that person will become a superstar within a night

[dunfida]

No one really knows if hes dead or not since satoshi doesn't even reveal himself on the public and same as his invention bitcoin hes truly anonymous and until now even his shadow cant be seen.How can we recognize on his status if we doesn't even saw his appearance?

[Loganota]

It is possible that he is dead. Honestly, I do not know if it's good or bad that he has hidden his identity (on his part it's certainly good). But it would be nice to know who it is. It would be a shame if he did not see the revolution he created.

Satoshi decide to hide himself on the public because of his creation i think hes life is at risk for sure because many would really cease him specially government which are oppose on bitcoins existence.Maybe he still alive and seeing its invention is progressing succesfuly.

[boybugs18]

there is a chance but we all just giving false information about satoshi . I will do the same if I'm with the group/person who create bitcoin as I'm sure my life is in danger because many will hate me because of its purpose on our world. Many oligarchs dont want bitcoin to replace international currency such as dollars .

[instacalm]

Of course, there is a chance that Satoshi is dead or not dead (and for one or none of the reasons you listed).  But, is this important?

What would it mean to you if the creator of Bitcoin died? His project lives on -- as open source project and as decentralised peer to peer network.

[South Park]

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.

That is a nice theory but one that I find difficult to believe, just look at the internet, while we are monitored on every single thing we do online at the same time there are methods to protect your privacy, if someone in power created bitcoin then I can say they released something that could become a major threat to themselves.

[e1ghtSpace]

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

I heard his code was very messy, far from perfect.

I think it was one guy, and they're hiding now, and probably won't spend their bitcoin.
