Is Satoshi Nakamoto Alive

[richan]

If Satoshi Nakamoto is a person and alive, wont he come out and claim the fame and success his invention has achieve so far?

[sakahayang]

many people say that satoshi nakamoto is one person, but not least mention that it is not single person but is a certain group. In my opinion, satoshi nakamoto is the one person who creates a brilliant idea about bitcoin and about he will not come out to claim fame because it's better still a mystery and anonymous.

They must have been a person, or I guess an alien must have invented Bitcoins from some other Galaxy and sent it to our World as a gift, ehh!? /sarcasm
Apparently, Satoshi IS A PERSONALITY who was behind the success of Bitcoins, and I believe he still is!

wont he come out and claim the fame and success his invention has achieve so far?

No, because they must be thinking of their own concept of anonymity before taking a step further to disclose themselves in front of the world. Don't you think you would have remained behind the scenes and supported your invention if you were Satoshi? Won't there be a fear of any life-threatening situations that may arise after their exposure? Think why people are supporting Bitcoins? Because they are all able to manage their money being their own bank and that too, without coming in front and doing it "pseudo"-anonymously. There's nothing wrong if they are trying to hide themselves from the general public as they are SPECIAL.

It is too risky if he or they would reveal their identity, bitcoin is hated by the government of some countries. Some people do not like bitcoin, there are possible danger if he or they will reveal the true identity of satoshi nakamoto.

Would you do it if you were him? It wouldn't be very smart.
The world is not only a happy place where your mom is baking a pie in the kitchen while you're playing games in the Internet. There are government agencies, crazy people, serial killers and rapists, contract killers, gangs, hackers and more. If he showed himself now, his life would turn to hell. He'd have to hire bodyguards and run to live in the jungle to avoid paparazzis and people who want to rob him.

Adding to the fact that there is risk in revealing his identity, most people don't enjoy fame. He would only be making his life much harder.

Satoshi nakamoto is a hood name of the creator of bitcoin and whoever he is even until now definitely alive and maybe one of developers of new digital currencies today.
Nobody knows who exactly this person is but it is one of the many good and effective reasons why there are too many investors in Bitcoin. People were feeling safe when in fact that nobody is controlling Bitcoin network.

There has been several threads along this kind of topic.
One of them was discussing possibility that its a made up name for who leaked the technology which was originally made by USA government agency for military use.

In my opinion he is not one person, but group of people or possibly even CIA but not for military usage.

we heard the name of Satoshi Nakamoto who invented Bitcoin..& satoshi is named after him...but we don't if it is a person or group member name...if he is alive, he would already claim his success

[Frank0209]

There are a lot of theories about this name, a lot of people think that Satoshi Nakamoto is just a person but some other people think Satoshi Nakamoto is a group with many members and in my opinion Satoshi Nakamoto is a group cause it's not easy for a person can do this incredible think. Beside I think this group still alive and work but they are trying to hide their identity cause if someone know who are they it'll become very dangerous for them and Bitcoin also.

Do we really need yet another Satoshi thread?  Use the search function.  Read those topics instead of rehashing the same old crap over and over again.  I'm almost tempted to ask if the mods can make it a rule, assuming rule #3 doesn't cover it already:

The policy to not remove anything worked when the forum was small. Now that we have thousands of posts a day, we can't afford 50% of them being junk. The moderators are now instructed to be less tolerant of low-value posts.

Some guidelines:

1. Free speech - you can say anything as long as it is relevant and presented in a calm and polite manner. Swearing, SHOUTING etc. make your post more likely to be removed.
2. No zero value posts or threads, like "SELL SELL SELL"
3. No pointless or uninteresting threads.
4. No referral code spam
5. No NSFW content

 
6. No new Satoshi threads.  No exceptions.


Also, Satoshi went back to their home planet, not far from all the Rock and Pop Gods.  It's as good an explanation as any.

Whoever is behind the name is alive and kicking and actively nurturing his/her/their creation BTC.. 
Some mysteries are better as mysteries, I think this one qualifies in that context..

Hello author! Hello all! I think this is an illusion and fake but it general no matter who is the creator? What is change for us? No matter the brand or official name. We just can know what allowed to know) Who is Nakomoto? Where is the proof - of - creating? Nobody see him...it's just a legend!
Maybe it's russian hackers?
Maybe Satoshi is hikikomori and living under bridge and eat cats and dogs)

I guess he is but not showing up it's because of the fame that he gets from bitcoin. There are successful people who don't want to be recognized at all because they're afraid to be threatened. Bitcoin is a big thing to work on and maybe Satoshi doesn't want any issue becauss people will ask many information about him or an interview. With that, he escapes from medias just to avoid publicity and so on. If he is still really alibe,I will thank him for everything that he have done with bitcoin. It is too precious for me to part of crypto world.

Apparently, we no longer know whether Satoshi Nakamoto actually existed, for what reason he wished to remain anonymous and whether he is alive at the time. Judging by his actions, he deliberately concealed his identity, which means that he is unlikely to appear in public. And the time has passed since January 2009, when the first Bitcoin was created, long enough to stir all this up.

[CryptoRamp]

Many theories, from Michael Clear to Hal Finney died in 2014 have been told.
The mystery is that the bitcoins of the first blocks have not been moved for years.
