If YOU were Satoshi, what would you do now?

[iamnotback]

He'd rejoice. Everything is going exactly according to plan.

I can smell the sarcasm

Lol. Good one.

Except I was 100% serious. The plan for Bitcoin to be a settlement layer and enslave use peons is proceeding exactly as planned. The game theory which prevents any consensus changes to the protocol is working perfectly as all sides fight but nothing can be agreed.

It is all perfect.

I would do nothing than continue to hide my face for my safety. As i don't think I would be able to do something for Bitcoin. And I don't think Satoshi would have be able to do something either regarding bitcoin. He disappeared since too much time now, he may have an influence but nothing more

[unamis76]

Probably nothing. Satoshi wouldn't be able to save Bitcoin out of the blue, he'd be just another voice in the crowd like each one of us. I'd stay in the shadows, watching it all unfold and see if the experiment would be successful or not.

[NorrisK]

Keep quiet and stick to the decision to leave bitcoin in the hands of others.

It was a choice satoshi made and bitcoin has evolved a lot since he left. He shouldn't have any influence anymore, just like someone who leaves a company to move on.

If you were the one, Satoshi Nakamoto
What would YOU do at this very important time with bitcoins life?

He'd rejoice. Everything is going exactly according to plan.

Despite your claims that Satoshi practically expected Bitcoin to be a power vacuum and give way to altcoins, I think Satoshi actually aimed for Bitcoin to grow gradually and scale accordingly.

Based on his forum posts from just before he left, he was annoyed at WikiLeaks for adding Bitcoin as payment as he didn't want to draw too much attention to Bitcoin since it still needs to mature and become better.

In fact, one of his last posts was:

It would have been nice to get this attention in any other context.  WikiLeaks has kicked the hornet's nest, and the swarm is headed towards us.

Other members on the forum generally agreed with this sentiment.  Check the thread.

If I were at Satoshi's place I would do exactly the same thing as he does know. Keep hidden from public and all this hustle and enjoy the products of my work.
Actualy, I don't think there is something that Satoshi actualy could do to change something so there would be no use of revealin himself.

[Dorky]

Bitcoin can only enslave what we own here on earth.

Whether we allow spiritual enslavement or spiritual freedom is a choice we can still make.
Refer to Matthew 6:19-21

[Quantus]

Idk I guess if I had Satoshi Bitcoins I would wait until after the continuous Hardfork then I would start selling all my Bitcoins on all the top exchanges on the chain I did't like. Then I would pass that money thew 6 or 7 shell companies on off shore tax havens and start a new Mining company that made small affordable 100 watt miners. Then under the guise of bad management I would build millions of them without buyers and then sell them at half cost but only sell a max of two per address.  After my companies goes bankrupt I will make all my ASIC architecture free to the public. Then I guess I"d go back to playing minecraft in my 100 million dollar underground bunker.

[YuginKadoya]

Well I have been thinking about things that many people are very intrigue with Satoshi and I have come up with an answer that we are the satoshi right now, and just like us I think he is now doing things we are doing to earn bitcoin if he don't own a million bitcoin, but satoshi doesn't have control anymore, bitcoin is getting big because of the many people involve in it.

You misunderstand my stance. I think Satoshi designed Bitcoin to scale as a settlement layer that can handle a $xx trillion marketcap.

I don't think he designed Bitcoin for "altcoins can take over".

Your misunderstanding is because you think Bitcoin has to scale transaction volume and it doesn't need to. It can be the transaction layer, which is much more important from a fungible money perspective than being a transaction coin.

I was aware of his comment. I have read everything Satoshi wrote in public.

If I were Satoshi Nakamoto right now I still hide my identity in bitcoin world and enjoy my life being an normal person. Normal person that's not fame, normal person that don't have death threats, Normal person that has a freedom to travel all over the world without hesitation.

[Heyo:P]

If you were the one, Satoshi Nakamoto

Probably continue to hide my identity; I'd hate to be on some government's or person's hit list.

They're probably sitting in a meeting room laughing their asses off while reading these threads.

[BrewMaster]

asking questions like this means you possibly have no idea what the concept of being a decentralized system means.

[crazyivan]

I d buy an island and invite all BTC nerds to come and live with me under condition they pay rent in Litecoin. 

[FlightyPouch]

Satoshi Nakamoto is a really great guy, creating such digital currency withkut taking any credit on it is really nice of him. How can a guy like him do not take credit in what he done and be happy and contented with it. If I am Satoshi Nakamoto, I will be introducing myself the same day I inteoduce bitcoin to the world and help the core developers.

[jc89]

If I were Satoshi Nakamoto I am probably lurking in this forum. Reading threads. Laughing at trashy posts and feeling bitcoin-expert users. Or maybe constantly staring at the value changes of bitcoin and enjoying the feeling that " yeah, I freaking invented bitcoin! My son grows very fast!"

I no longer can keep silent myself. Now it is the time to go into battle. I mean world war 3. I had no enemy. I never thought any human can become my enemy. Now, I have found out that Cypherpunks a group is my enemy. Whether they are self centred individual group or sponsored by some sort of government secret service it does not make a difference. You all have pushed me to confront you. Therefore I have no any other option. I wanted  you all to leave me alone but you are hacking my computers and tapping my cell phones ever since I invented Bitcoin and Blockchain.  I am a minister of peace. To defend myself and peace-loving generation, I will create now Clockchain in the Blockchain. Hide and seek was a game, I played in my childhood. It is a boring game now. I am not a child. I have created a new chess game. It is called Bitcoin Sumo. You all are welcome to my 'Bitcoin Sumo Festival' to watch the world war 3.

if I was Satoshi, I would do nothing as there is no need to do anything in the grand view of things.
Cryptocurrency has been invented, is thriving, and will continue to grow.  Whether it is Bitcoin
or another currency that is dominant is totally irrelevant in the long run.
