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

[culberth]

You are right, Satoshi never revealed his identity to the public and it's make big question that we always ask.I think if he reveals himself he might be targeted by the media, the bad guy, the government, etc. To me Satoshi just wanted to enjoy his life peacefully. Enjoy his money and live peacefully with his family.

[Dondisimo]

I still think that bitcoin was created by a team of developers, not by one person, so some of the creators are still alive. But it is unlikely we will know who it is, although very interesting.

[freshm4ker]

Satoshi is a group of people who form the name satoshi as bitcoin icon. Anyone will die one day. You have sold the coin will create a panic but he has taken advantage of it. Maybe bitcoin can be developed by alien or human civilization itself.

We cannot say that Satoshi is a group/individual.
We cannot say that Satoshi still alive or already died.
But we can say that Satoshi is the greatest inventor of this century and bitcoin always been remarkable to the mind and heart of the people. Even the person behind Satoshi Nakamoto was passed away, the name Satoshi will stay in the earth. The legacy of Satoshi will be preserved even in the future generation.

[Cheenguboc143]

In my opinion,  I think he might just want to have a peaceful life,  he may use another name or he just want no one could trace him because he don't want to be in a complicated life,  even us want a life like that if we have lots of money,  we don't want our selves to be in danger.

[tinkerman]

In the end. It doesn't even matter.

[drukoz2]

Of course, it is possible that this person has already died, which unfortunately is not to avoid any of us. But I still think that this person-the creator of bitcoin - is just hiding, and doing the right thing.

[olegblinov86]

I think the creator or creators of bitcoin are still hiding on purpose. The government and the public would put a lot of pressure on them, and this is not necessary for the creators.

[Victorias]

 Most likely, Satoshi Nakamoto will remain a secret and magic for everyone forever. Perhaps this was conceived from the very beginning.

[Sumo]

This person is right to make that decided to hide his true name. Why did he spare the hype, the pressure from the state, the press? Perhaps this person is very modest and does not want to attract too much attention.

[Axelseseclevz]

The possibility is always there,but i hope he's still alive.Because his created bitcoin continue helping a lot of people around the world.

Likely this guy, Dave Kleiman, seems to have the 'most consensus ..he is passed away...

https://gizmodo.com/the-strange-life-and-death-of-dave-kleiman-a-computer-1747092460

The other scenario is that he also was part of a group that included Craig Wright and Hal Finney..who also is passed away

That will be a nightmare, if true, in that 'supposedly' Craig Wright says on Jan 1st, 2020 he will have access

to a trust set up of Billions of dollars of BTC. With the other 2 of 3 from the group (if this was the case) now passed away, that

would not bode well for the open source nature of Bitcoin..in that Craig Wright is patenting everything

blockchain related he can, If he can have access to these addresses legally, thru the fund, he can prove

he is Satoshi and thus can then claim patents on the works...

https://bitcoinpatentreport.com/2018/02/21/the-truth-about-the-patent-portfolio-of-dr-craig-wright/

In that, he pretty much 'hates' the BTC crowd who disavow he is really Satoshi or part of the above group,

that would be bad, very bad for BTC and all crypto, IMHO. Very unlikely, but that is the 'Nightmare Scenario"!!

[brylle34]

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.

Satoshi was heavily involved with the Bitcoin community, and collaborated with them in order to modify the underlying bitcoin protocol. After two years of involvement, Nakamoto handed the reins to Gavin Andresen, and seized involvement with the Bitcoin project in December of 2010. Then, in the Spring of 2011, Nakamoto returned to leave a final message, stating in a post that he had “moved on to other things,” and that Bitcoin was “in good hands with Gavin [Andresen] and everyone.” That was the last the world heard of the secretive Bitcoin creator.  read the link for more details https://blockonomi.com/who-is-satoshi-nakamoto/

he maybe dead but one thing is for sure his legacy of bitcoin will sure grow and remembered thats why we are here, working, trading, advertising and a lot more. im sure his wallet has a lot of bitcoin

[ethereumhunter]

since we don't know who is the real of Satoshi, we don't know where is he now and if he still alive or not. maybe we need to have more evidence to prove someone that is the real Satoshi and I think Satoshi itself won't come out and said that he is the real Satoshi. many possibilities that might happen with Satoshi and we can still guessing about what is happen with him. I think if the time is right, maybe he will come out and shows to us who is he and I think he will explain all about bitcoin and now he still covering his self for secure his life.

[Oppang Inamo]

You cant really tell whether satoshi nakamoto is dead or alive since his identity or even his existense his unknown. The reason behind all that is because of the danger to the crowd since the bitcoin has very high value. He will be really popular if he show his true identity but there is a consequence, he will be in danger for some bad people who only wants to have some money in an easy way. Maybe he's still alive or maybe he's already dead. Thats all I can say.

[AurumService]

You know, the thing is that there`s no actual and reliable information about Satoshi. Nobody knows for sure who he is - whether it is a man, a woman, a group of talented enterpreneurs. All this news regarding this person may be simply nothing more than just a fake. It`s important to pay attention to technical expert analysis of cryptocurrencies and not to believe all hype that surrounds Satoshi.

[shmenton22]

the dude is probably a huge nerd and just doesnt want the spotlight. if he dies we will hear about it. one of the richest people in the world dies? the world finds out.

[tdtduy]

Satoshi does not care whether anyone is paying attention to him or not. I think so. But surely, Satoshi is a very talented person. And with the foundation of Bitcoin, Satoshi deserves what Satoshi needs physically and mentally. Satoshi does not want people to know about the personal information involved except that the recognition of Satoshi has started to change the way transactions through Bitcoin. We should respect Satoshi's intentions.

[jame suny]

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

[AurumService]

But maybe bitcoin is developed by aliens civilisation

Great joke!
