Why Satoshi... ?

[Boseda]

Why Satoshi doesn't express his opinion about BU, segwit, hard forks and other crucial things like these?

I think it would be very important to hear his voice and to know what he thinks about it, because those crucial things could even lead to a Bitcoin implosion.

But if he doesn't express his opinion maybe he just don't care about Bitcoin anymore or maybe he's already dead, as many people believe...

As none is clear about his identity, someone will state them as Satoshi and give opinion about it. This is not the fair way, Satoshi himself have given as the innovation without any of his interruption. As the identity is not clear recently Craig claimed that he is Satoshi and has applied for patent for blockchain technology in several sectors. I think even if real satoshi comes we cannot do anything as everything is happening with technology.

Satoshi Says:

I think it is terrible - it means that they have learnt nothing. They will blindly follow authority, not facts... how is that good. Please do tell them that.

If they choose to follow rhetoric and lies and not check the truth, then I want to have nothing to do with them.

I will compete. I will see if my way, brutal economic competition or my opposition, "fairness" wins in the end.

simple. Satoshi itself is anonymous in fact so far, nobody is able to reveal who exactly is. and for the bitcoin updates, is probably from the contributors. as you know, the founder Satoshi used to be here to moderate this forum, yet he banned himself for the reason we won't know (maybe he wants to hide himself from his/her identity?). plus, even if you have bitcoin, hard fork is not really gonna infect your wallet unless you have put your funds into the non-wallet sites; hard fork is not meant to destruct the blockchain, so satoshi is unlikely to trespass announce / investigate.

If satoshi is alive,he may not be quietly watching the situations happening around bitcoins.He may have revealed him out or would have expressed his opinion.I think he is no more.R.I.P.May peace be on his soul for gifting us such a wonderful Bitcoin.

Yes, You right. Unfortunately, I think he is dead. If he was alive. I don't think there is a reason to stay without saying or doing anything to bitcoin community. As a founder of this amazing cryptocurrency. I think he can be do a lot of good thing that grow up our lovely coin. So, R.I.P Satoshi. You are a great man.

There are some programmers who have commented on this forum telling the community that Satoshi had actually programmed bitcoin blocks to increase but it was not followed and miners had followed other ways to increase blocksize. I am not sure if that post was legit but if that was true then probably satoshi was just watching from the corner and is selling his bitcoins one at a time.

Allow me to call Nakamoto Satoshi him, because we all do not know him well, he can be anyone, maybe a person, a group or an organization. He creates bitcoins for trading purposes, so it's not his own money, so he can not make any decisions as he can not get it. The things we know about him are our respect. A great man And with the number of people wanting BTU at the moment, I think he can not do anything else, everything comes from people. The decision does not belong to him. But I think his opinion will tell us what is the right direction, and we can choose easily.

[gilangIDR]

he is the one who allows us to use bitcoin today. the father of digital currency. everything is as it is now because of him.

The big question mark "?"
Who is Satoshi Nakamoto, why did he just disappeared and vanished without a trace?
Of course everyone is wondering why, and who is that guy. He's like a legend, a fictional character, a hero, a myth. Groups of programmers, an individual programmer, groups or organizations, there are many speculation in who really is SAT.
 In these vast changes in the past 6 years, theres so many changes that happened in Cryptocurrency world. And the guy who started this all is needed because he's personal opinion is important. Important? Why? Because people think that when it comes to these things he is all knowing, but in truth whats happening in today's era is out of his hand. Is he dead? We don't know if it's a group or association, it would take a lot of effort to erase the existence of a group of people. If he is an individual maybe people that work on him or his partner or hes co worker got jealous and killed him. Maybe a government association or underworld association killed him. No one knows and nobody can give an answer. What we have right now is a name and a legend. We're the one who's going to fight for this battle ( Bitcoin ). Don't depend on someone whos not here anymore. As president Lincoln said:

Plant your feet and stand firm, the only question is where to stand your feet.

even if satoshi came back and enough people believed he was who he claimed to be he'd on a hiding to nothing taking any type of position. the whole scene has moved on without him and he's best left as a respected memory.

Satoshi already said he didn't want his software forked:

A second version would be a massive development and maintenance hassle for me.  It's hard enough maintaining backward compatibility while upgrading the network without a second version locking things in.  If the second version screwed up, the user experience would reflect badly on both, although it would at least reinforce to users the importance of staying with the official version.  If someone was getting ready to fork a second version, I would have to air a lot of disclaimers about the risks of using a minority version.  This is a design where the majority version wins if there's any disagreement, and that can be pretty ugly for the minority version and I'd rather not go into it, and I don't have to as long as there's only one version.

I know, most developers don't like their software forked, but I have real technical reasons in this case.

The nature of Bitcoin is such that once version 0.1 was released, the core design was set in stone for the rest of its lifetime.  Because of that, I wanted to design it to support every possible transaction type I could think of.  The problem was, each thing required special support code and data fields whether it was used or not, and only covered one special case at a time.  It would have been an explosion of special cases.  The solution was script, which generalizes the problem so transacting parties can describe their transaction as a predicate that the node network evaluates.  The nodes only need to understand the transaction to the extent of evaluating whether the sender's conditions are met.

The script is actually a predicate.  It's just an equation that evaluates to true or false.  Predicate is a long and unfamiliar word so I called it script.

The receiver of a payment does a template match on the script.  Currently, receivers only accept two templates: direct payment and bitcoin address.  Future versions can add templates for more transaction types and nodes running that version or higher will be able to receive them.  All versions of nodes in the network can verify and process any new transactions into blocks, even though they may not know how to read them.

The design supports a tremendous variety of possible transaction types that I designed years ago.  Escrow transactions, bonded contracts, third party arbitration, multi-party signature, etc.  If Bitcoin catches on in a big way, these are things we'll want to explore in the future, but they all had to be designed at the beginning to make sure they would be possible later.

I don't believe a second, compatible implementation of Bitcoin will ever be a good idea.  So much of the design depends on all nodes getting exactly identical results in lockstep that a second implementation would be a menace to the network.
  The MIT license is compatible with all other licenses and commercial uses, so there is no need to rewrite it from a licensing standpoint.

BU = menace to the network. So yeah there you have it.

Why do you think he hasn't given any opinion? Of course he has, you just don't know.

[jakelyson]

Satoshi already left us with something beautiful and thriving. It is on us now if we choose to let it grow or let it die. BU or Segwit, hard or soft fork, it is for us to decide. Satoshi has already done enough and we should just let him be.

[acroman08]

Why do you think he hasn't given any opinion? Of course he has, you just don't know.

What the OP wants is to see satoshi saying something about the hard-fork and him saying what he
thinks about the idea of forking his software but as the comment above you satoshi already said in the
early days of this forum that forking his software will be a menace to the network(see comment above you).

[Bibite]

Did you know the CIA debated about using a crypto currency since 1996, there is a long email you can find online, certified to be from the CIA. You can read in tthis long letter how and why it would usefull to have a crypto currency, to take control (over the population i guess). So not really sure if we can Satosh is the father of the cryptocurrency. Or maybe he is a cover for the CIA ? you never know really this days.. He may be the creator but no the father i think. As well i am pretty sure cryptographers have think about a crypto money far before him

[jeraldskie11]

We really don't know who is satoshi. He is anonymous and we doesn't know if he is only a person or a group. He know that he will be successful on Bitcoin that he did so there is no need to ask why and that's why satoshi not posting on social media. Satoshi is very smart, he hide his identity because he know it make himself to danger.

[danherbias07]

What a coincidence!
Funny, a friend of mine and I talked about this just yesterday. If only Satoshi will come out then this freaking BS show will be over.
Who else wants to compete to bitcoin. Of course everyone wants to be the genius just like him. All are thriving to be at his level but just cant. Every full support bitcoin user will just think this is just another thing and will pass in some week or worse days.
Everyone wants that money in their hands. I mean c'mon! that is a thousand doll hairs per bitcoin.  

[Janation]

Bitcoin is a really popular and there are lot of problems that made the bitcoin stronger and more popular, still no Satoshi Nakamoto appeared. I think he is now just enjoying the fact that everyone is using his digital currency, I think he still cares about his digital currency, we just dont know that for sure, but I think, he is just there.

[K128kevin2]

Satoshi isn't relevant anymore, he hasn't been around for years.
No disrespect to Satoshi but times change and we should look to the future instead of dwelling on what has been said in the past.
