Yes. Bitcoin should get a Nobel Prize.

Exactly why it won't happen.

Why?

Nobel prize of economy is created and sponsored by swedish central bank, which is the oldest central bank in the world, so forget about it

Yes, Bitcoin deserves. Since, Satoshi will not come forward, the winning price should be shared with all the active members of Bitcoin Forum.

It might actually get it because think about how much money they would get. If Bitcoin makes it the price could reach $2,000. This is a big opening for a pump-and-dump for whoever decides on the Nobel Prize, Kim Dotcom is an expert in this: twitter@kim.com

Maybe Adam Back should get it for inventing proof of work.

Proof of work is becoming the reserve currency of the internet ...

They will probably not nominate guys like Assange, Snowden or Satoshi for Nobel Prize - this guys stand for everything that is against the establishment.
People who fight for liberty and the best of humanity dont need their approval, because millions of people already have awarded them in their heart.

I thought this too and is another reason I believe satoshi nakamoto is dead. Why not claim his prize?

Because USA will follow and arrest/kill him. Is that not enough for you?
He needs to stay anonymous.

[btceic]

yes and it should be the center point of the next TED talk

[melon]

the most to hope for is a mashable award ...   ???lol

BTC will need to prove itself first by surviving and becoming a bigger part of the economy. Most of the Nobels, at least in science, are awarded many years after a discovery.
