If I were Satoshi Nakamoto...

[ahmedjamal1998]

If you were Satoshi Nakamoto, would you:

    reveal yourself?
- NO WAY ! That's just an endless amount of trouble/questions/interviews.

    if so, how would you do this?
- I said no !

    what would you think of Bitcoin today?
- Hell yeah I'm proud of what I did and I'm a billionaire already.

    what would you think of altcoins today?
- Naah nothing to worry about. Just some kids playing in the backyard

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?

1. I wouldn't right now, I'm too young lmao. The craziness and mania, I couldn't personally handle it.
2. But I would reveal myself to close friends etc. and progressively widen the scope of who knows. I have a little passion for making crappy websites, so there you go haha
3. I would be extremely baffled by how mainstream bitcoin is becoming, looking at market cap and price alone.
4. Altcoins would be part of the success, competition and most being essentially inferior versions of Bitcoin.

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.

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

Well that's unexpected but possible. But as far as I know he voluntarily leave in this community for his own various of reasons, whether he is alive or not up to this day I think his life is still on danger.

Will you provide some links on where you've read that Satoshi died and Craig wright had a familiar programmer that died in 2013? That would help me to know more in bitcoins history.

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.

If remember correctly satoshi once said that lost coins are a small contribution to everyone in the network, so there is no need to distribute the coins, he could lose the coins on purpose, he could send the coins to an address for which he does not have the private keys, or he could destroy the wallets that contain the coins at the moment, and to me that is easier than to try to distribute the coins.

when satoshi release his coin publicly i think it would just make the market back to unstable , i mean the expensive and worthy bitcoin are because of how rare to get and earn bitcoin itself . but when satoshi did it , it wouldn't as rare as before. so i know satoshi would do something better rather than have to release his coins.

Well, I’m not suggesting for satoshi to sell his bitcoins, I’m suggesting for ways those coins are lost, if they are not lost already, so those coins don’t destabilize the bitcoin economy, and influx of such a huge amount of coins could crash the price almost overnight, but at the same time it will be a golden opportunity to buy bitcoin, so I do not think satoshi would do that.

The impact of these coins hitting the market would be pretty unpredictable

Obviously, if Satoshi (or whoever gets ownership of these coins) dumps them all at once, that will surely crash the prices everywhere, though it remains to be seen how much exactly. On the other hand, injecting so many bitcoins would be beneficial in the long run since that would mean more even wealth distribution provided the coins are really sold on exchanges and not off the market to some private investor like Winklevoss and his evil twin

reveal yourself?
No. I would probably end up in prison if I were Satoshi.

That's a possibility. It's funny but true, BTC has been used in under the table transactions so you're be playing a Tom and Jerry game with cops if they find you.

In addition, I would anonymously send bitcoin to strangers.. as many
as possible.  1 bitcoin to each one. What a thrill!!!

Nice idea. Send what you can afford. I wonder the look on thier face when they receive one BTC; "wow I just received 1btc". I think they can have a heart attack on that. I think when the world notice that someone has randomly sending BTC worldwide, they would be curious about it and try to track you down.

If i was sathoshi nakamoto, I'll stay unknown "anonymous" forever!

I know my skills and idea change the world for good forever.

Revealing himself to public will only destroy his freedom.

I think i am agree with you this is one of the reason i think why still satoshi still not revealing.. but i strong believe that satoshi is always here in bitcoin forum we just don't know that man he is talking with your thread..
And that is why he is hiding due to many complains about bitcoin about development or any that can request for development. that annoying to his ears to hear them..

[Searing]

If I were Satoshi Naamoto...I'd get on bitcointalk randomly...say 1x a week and dump 10,000 btc to folk on here with a btc address in their profile

someone did that ...said he was spreading the joy as Satoshi...damn...would be like Santa Claus..maybe some folk would get some hope from the gesture

and get some of the  bitcoin devs of many flavors to compromise ..just knowing Satoshi was about as the above trickster


Damn it would be wild would in not? Great fun indeed Also would be typical Satoshi..involved w/o really being involved...

- Definitely not just 1 person, so that would be difficult and/or not possible

- Even if it was possible I'm not sure I'd even want to ever reveal myself. Too many questions from too many people to make it worth it

- I would think that BTC was a great experiment that shows promise, but also highlighted a bunch of things that need to be fleshed out before the world is ready for adoption on a larger scale

- I look at most altcoins and see ponzi schemes, so I would imagine he/they do too

[thisappointed]

If I were Satoshi Nakamoto, probably I'm just going to ignore the mess in the bitcoin world right now, maybe I'm going to help a little bit but I'm not going to reveal myself or something so stupid. Satoshi Nakamoto is a very mysterious man, we don't know where he is right now, who he is, what does he looks like, and so many questions to ask.

But I know only one reason, he is hiding himself(if he is still alive) because he knew from the start that bitcoin would be this popular, that would be on the highest place above all of the coins in the crypto world, he doesn't want so much attention from the public, because it could be the reason for someone to do bad to him or something else that is unnecessary because of the jealousy on his success.

[Jody.Drummer]

If i satoshi nakamoto i will keep behind all bitcoin and will never address to the media that i am satoshi nakamoto

[Ucy]

Most Nerds are like Satoshi Nakamoto. They don't enjoy too much attention or they may have physical deformity or disabilities they don't want the World to see.

[traderethereum]

i think i don't want to show my face or my voice into public because i know maybe it will make some chaos in the market and i think i will not do this. what i am think about bitcoin today is i am very happy that bitcoin is works good like what i am doing in the project before and i think i will only watch and make some work to make sure that bitcoin can works with good and no other problem that maybe makes people too worried about bitcoin.

[lecongnhan123]

Satoshi Nakamoto, I will continue coding Coins after years stoping coding because when Bitcoin price is so high, it is a good chance for other coins to grow up too

[Fappanu]

is this person really exist some of them are pretending. back to question what if i am satoshi nakamoto. I don't reveal my self and instead i will change my name for security purposes .

I exhibit myself out to real world and get the copy right on bitcoin and blockchain technology. Now many people creating the altcoin with this technology. I will attack them with the copy right notice and get the share partnership on all the bitcoin and altcoin related business.
