Do you really believe Satoshi is real??

[Wakate]

Bitcoin is in many main languages but not Japanese. Why would the guy who created it not make it in his own language? Don't you find it suspicious MtGox is in Japan?
Also the project really isn't a success. A lot of progress still has to be made. Security is still an issue along with sites still growing. Anyone ever even talk to him? I'm not saying he isn't real I'm just putting this out there.

I think you need to read and try to do research before coming here with your less understanding about Bitcoin and it's history. Do you mean Satoshi is not real or you are trying to bring language here. Satoshi was a wise man because he knows that the government is going to come for him, that is why he made everything decentralized even his identity. He showed us how the decentralized world ought to be practically. I am very happy now that upon the government curiosity to know whom he is, nothing is found.

anyone can claim to be a satoshi including me, the real satoshi will remain anonymous for the sake of possible security, but i'm not sure if the sathoshi is from china/japan, the name is just a name but doesn't mean it's from that country

I think Satoshi is an individual person. He writes with a consistent style. I doubt he's American, since he sometimes uses British spelling.

This thread is old. Since 2011 it has been created. But what interest me to respond to this. Is, this response of theymos explanation through contemplation that it assume that he doubt that Satoshi is from American and it writing is British writing, with this. It's shows that theymos have not seen Satoshi in person, but i assumed that theymos communicate with Satoshi even seat man to man and talk, that means no body will know if Satoshi is man or woman. This world is very big world.

That's interesting to know, and a very good observation from theymos, i think little details like this is what people should focus on to give a certain picture of who satoshi is. Again from what theymos pointed out about his style of writing, it could also mean either satoshi is one person and not a group of people using the name as some people imply. Coming back to what the @op said about satoshi being a Japanese i don't know if he has a source for that info, anyone from any part of the world can take on any name as alias which does not directly connect to the persons origin.
Although this thread is old but i have just only come across it today, if the op is in doubt if satoshi is real then he is also in doubt if btc is real, satoshi decided to remain anonymous does not mean what he invented is not real or he/she is not real.

[BOAEDAN]

personally I really believe that satoshi is real, if satoshi wasn't real there would never have been btc until now, but I don't know the individual Satoshi or the name of the group, or the organization, until now I also don't know where he came from, even though he has Japanese name, but not necessarily Japanese.

true as you said, even though he has a satoshi name like a Japanese name, but we can't conclude that he is Japanese, he can use Japanese names but he is American, and vice versa, maybe he was born in another country then he moved to another country , I think Satoshi is real, but his whereabouts until now no one knows, because he doesn't want to appear in public.

[m2017]

I don't know and can't tell if Satosh is real. I don't have such information and I think almost no one has it, otherwise this information would become public. Perhaps it was one person, perhaps a group of people. I don't think we'll ever know. But I know bitcoin is real and I believe it, as many of you here do, I guess.

It’s not about the debate that where the name came from?
Or which country does Satoshi belong to?
Rather you need to keep your thoughts on whether you believe in Satoshi or not.

If you ask me then yes, I believe Satoshi is real.
Yes I don’t know whether it’s a group of people or single person, but yes I believe there was a time when Satoshi was present.
Satoshi is the one for whom the Bitcoins that are being used in massive quantities are produced or developed.

And for the ones those who don’t know, this is the profile of Satoshi https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3

Various studies have been carried out on Satoshi with no results, I believe Satoshi is a real person, it's just that his name is not real, if Satoshi's name is registered as a real name, it's easy for people to investigate.

I'm sure Satoshi, is still on this forum, only the name of the account he manages is unknown, what is clear is that Satoshi has done his best for the whole world in terms of digital currency, namely Bitcoin.

Who thought you that satoshi uses his own language or different language from Him? and besides what do you care if satoshi is real or not? isn't better that what you must be thankful is that the man provide you something that is really worth to be thankful?
imagine there is a Bitcoin and now tons of cryptocurrencies that helps us with our own lives and our transactions here and there.

Lol you’re assuming a lot of things here. First, how do you know it’s a he and not a they. How do you know the person is actually of Japanese decent ? To not call the project a success is just crazy. Of course there is more work that needs to be done, but look how far things have come so far. Cryptographers have been trying to create a cryptocurrency like this for decades..so to say it’s not a success is just wrong.

and also if i may add, if he is thinking that BTC is not a success, then why he thinks he is here? the reason why we are here is because of bitcoin and it expands to other alts. i don't care if satoshi persona is real or not. what matters most is the creation of bitcoin, and because of that, we are forever grateful to him or her or they. whoever is behind this invention.  many changed their lives because of this currency. so imo, knowing the truth behind satoshi is not a big deal for me. let's just accept that this is how it needs to be.

[Mr.sprin]

it's very fun to talk about satoshi, the figure of satoshi Nakamoto has thrown a lot of money into the world saying satoshi came from Japan, and no one said satoshi is the group that created bitcoin but until now no one has been able to prove the truth, the figure of satoshi is still a mystery.

right, for now who is a satoshi is not important, at least there are people who have created bitcoin very well until their current achievements. even if someone claimed to be satoshi for now, would everyone believe it, even though he was for real. currently bitcoin has created a lot of jobs for humans on earth, and in the process, bitcoin will become a real currency, i still enjoy the advantages of bitcoin and other altcoins that is enough for now

I just got more curious about the OP. What happened to him? It was last active in 2013. I am really thinking if the OP has a lot of bitcoin, that it was like he lost the keys. or forget it and still find it. Or he is really rich right now because of the price. But to answer his question, I think yes because he is the creator of Bitcoin, but if not, I am sure that there is still someone who made Bitcoin. Back to my original question, I'm curious how much bitcoin this person currently has or if he has already sold it.

[uchegod-21]

Why would the guy who created it not make it in his own language?

Make what in his own language?
You mean to code bitcoin in a different new code or to name bitcoin according to a native language. But we know bitcoin is an international project, why try nationalise or tribalise it.

Satoshi is real, just that we don't know if Satoshi is he or she. Yet, we know Satoshi is not a woman. What he did is not what woman can do and his tone of communication in masculine.
What I need understand now is if Satoshi is an individual or a group of people.

[bitzizzix]

I believe that Satoshi Nakamoto is a randomly selected person with intermediate to advanced programming skills, but as of now his identity has not been solved and it remains a question whether he himself or the team created bitcoin.
but I don't really care about it all because for me whoever Satoshi Nakamoto actually is, he is a very great person, you can even say like a god and also real, because he made many people rich and also made many people's lives better and all because of his creations .
and I am very grateful to Satoshi Nakamoto.

[maydna]

I believe Satoshi is real, but to say that Satoshi is one person it's very difficult because I don't think one person can create something as complex as blockchain and bitcoin. Seeing from the other projects, they have a lot of coders working together on the project. So Satoshi was probably a group of people interacting with each other working on a project that could eventually become big, and then some of them broke away and disappeared. It's just a theory.

[skarais]

I don't know why this old thread is bumping again but I'm sure there are many threads after this with the same question and purpose but all of them have sunk long ago.

We can believe that satoshi are not individuals made up of just one person, but are more likely to refer to them as a group of people by their pseudonyms. His anonymity has given rise to much speculation to date and there have even been numerous studies that ultimately failed to reveal who he really was. He was real, but no one knew if he was just one or several people with pseudonyms.

So much criticism of people on this post from 11 years ago..

[_BlackStar]

Regardless of who is behind the satoshi name ^{[a person or group of people]} then I don't think we should be preoccupied with finding out his identity any more than what we know now. None of us know who he really is and not even the powerful FBI can reveal him until now, so start being someone who values ​​his invention ^[bitcoin] regardless of whether you are a trader, investor or bitcoin user because I think it's much more important.

Do you think that seems very impudent?
