If I were Satoshi Nakamoto...

[ethereumhunter]

If you were Satoshi Nakamoto, would you:

• reveal yourself?
• if so, how would you do this?
• what would you think of Bitcoin today?
• what would you think of altcoins today?

i will stay behind the wall, i don't want to show myself into public area because it will be make big questions for all people and of course the media will asked their question. i will enjoy my life with all my bitcoins that i have 

bitcoin will be growth more than yesterday and i am sure that many new people will join and using bitcoin because bitcoin giving many value for them and they can make real money with bitcoin. altcoin is something different than bitcoin and it could help us to earn more bitcoin.

If you were Satoshi Nakamoto, would you:
reveal yourself?

I like it to remain anonymous it's like supporting the whole concept of bitcoin's anonymity.

if so, how would you do this?

Simple, but not revealing myself and will just look around seeing people on how they love my invention.

what would you think of Bitcoin today?

Well, there is only one word I can say, it's great!

what would you think of altcoins today?

Also a very nice alternative for bitcoin, the concept is nice and amazing.

• what would you think of altcoins today?

• Actually, yes. But I know that it will be so dangerous
• I will reveal to my friends, they will talk to the others, nothing much have I to do
• "I'm highhhhh"
• It's getting better nowaday, I think Internet of coins is coming to town

of course it's dangerous as people know you are holding 1 million bitcoin worth billions! , satoshi wouldn't do a fool thing like that . keep being anonymous like what happened today are the best way to make bitcoin established. as long as bitcoin used globally and accepted nicely , i as satoshi would feel grateful that my invention work smoothly as planned.

* I wouldn't reveal myself at all, that would attract all sorts of bad attention from Mafia, CIA,NSA and the like and fangirls "us ?", seriously I don't think there is any need to and I guess satoshi doesn't like show or would have already did it
* by doing noting
* a Hard question, BTC did change compared to before but I wouldn't be sure about his opinion if his old design or the new one is better
* it's an open world here I think, I think Satoshi would be OK with them

[tabas]

I will not reveal myself because I know my life will in danger and there will be some big people that will try to extort or give me some death threats. It's better to store 1 million bitcoins and just sit at my home doing some another projects or trying to think on how much bitcoin will be worth after a lot of years.

[mike1183]

Agreed completely, if you reveal yourself as satoshi you would be the focal point of attention of things from national security agency regarding security, and on the other hand from gangsters, criminal organizations and would lose all your privacy like movie actors or the like.

It's strange because I was thinking about that yesterday. I believe at some point people will start to fear that his 1m coins may be moved and that would crash the market. So to prevent it I would sign a message saying that I will share the majority of the premine among every bitcoin address based on their balance (that would prevent people from creating an infinite number of addresses). After that I would disappear forever.

Curious to why Satoshi didn't reveal himself in the beginning, Now it is not smart to reveal yourself but now it's just a project, no one would have caused issues, on the other hand the principle is privacy, therefore Satoshi and allot of developers preferred to remain anonymous.

Satoshi Nakamoto didn't reveal himself because it might cause a problem, his identity will be in danger and might've cause some fights between people about the country who owned Bitcoin.

I just hope he also gave it to Gavin, so that million coins is circulating now. Even so, there are still a lot of coins that are not mined so I think the unusable bitcoins is still not a problem.

That's a reasonable choice.However I more astonished by the fact that he hasn't moved his coins yet. That's so rensponsible of him and I hope he continues to do so. He probably recognises that he is a billionare who can't have his money.

[fathur.aza]

I will die first

[bamboylee]

I will also do what satoshi have done. I will hid myself and I will not move my 1 million bitcoin.  I think what he have done is the best move.

that would prevent people from creating an infinite number of addresses

Why would you want to limit creation of address? It is meant to be an invoice, so it is meant to be created every transaction.

If You were Satoshi Nakamoto, Are you going to reveal who you really are? If not, who are you really?

If You were Satoshi Nakamoto, Are you going to reveal who you really are? If not, who are you really?

Even satoshi nakamoto will think a lot of that before he reveal himself because it is like taking the risk for being hunted by the criminals for the sake of money. If i were satoshi then it will not reveal my self but i will just make at least a voice message for other people in the world to proof that bitcoin is not scam like the way they think about it.

I don't think so, many of the world's great inventors who clearly reveal themselves, Bill Gates introduced himself as the inventor of microsoft windows. And nothing happens to him after becoming the richest man in the world. Only one reason that satoshi is invisible/pseudonymous, is because of its intention to make the world change through decentralization of the currency. This will have no widespread impact if satoshi appears to the public space.

I will hide my identity because being anonymous is the best, maybe you can be the target of evil because it creates something so valuable.
It's better to let bitcoin like now but if it can to solve the problem about the transaction it gets better.

Perhaps Satoshi died in 2013. I remember that someone wrote that when Craig Wright said that he was Satoshi, someone discovered that Wright had a familiar programmer who was more suited to the role of Satoshi and died in 2013. Perhaps Wright knew something about him, And so he could first convince Andersen that Satoshi is he. But these are just my guesses, most likely we will never know the real name of Satoshi, most likely it's even for the better

[Dudeperfect]

If I were Satoshi Nakamoto,

* reveal yourself?
- Not really until CIA officers would say that 'hey Satoshi we know it's you, who created bitcoin.

* if so, how would you do this?
- By saying, Yes, you CIA folks are really cleaver.
 
* what would you think of Bitcoin today?
-The best invention in my life.

* what would you think of altcoins today?
- I would be following Mark Zukerberg policy and buying top competitor alt coins in the market.

I don't wish that I need to be Satoshi, because everyone​has something unique. We need to explore and make the best out of it. Satoshi gave one among the best innovation to the world. Possibly this will be changing a lot in all sectors through the blockchain technology as the base and bitcoin being the first success.

Yeah, no one loves America but everyone and his dog love American dollars

I guess virtually the same could be said in respect to Satoshi, no one wants to be him (hiding from the public eye all the time) but everyone would love to have his bitcoins. Regarding the man who died in 2013 and who might in fact be real Satoshi Nakamoto, the question is about David Kleiman, a computer forensics analyst, whom Craig Wright was familiar with. Thus he might know something about Bitcoin that no one else does and on this account pretend to be Satoshi Nakamoto (though he is an impostor, obviously)
