Satoshi only provides one of solutions to reduce the negative effects of QE by questioning. What if the people can control the total supply, can audit themselves, Extremely lowest cost of maintaining,lowest commission fee with Maximum security?
Satoshi is just the head, I don't think he does all based on the construction. I think there are four people including him, doing the thing.

You have this doubt because you still have faith in government issued money, so you think dump the coins for some fiat is a nice move. I guess Satoshi does not have such faith, it is clearly written in the genesis block
what utter bullshit. im sure whoever satoshi are they are quite well off not to give a remote shit, and likely that was the whole point of this all. |

You have not addressed my argument. I have, the only 'argument' you're making is the tired claim that Bitcoin or the creator of Bitcoin is a scam, while bringing absolutely no proof or evidence to back it up, you're lucky I bothered to respond at all. |

Instead of arguing the actual points at hand, you attack me personally, by stating that I am dumb enough to trust fiat. I have no intention for any personal attack, and I don't think it is a bad thing to have faith in government issued money. Many people include myself have certain degree of faith in fiat money, because you can use fiat money to purchase anything domestically. But bitcoin can give some more faith due to its transparency in money supply, so dump bitcoin for fiat is not necessary until you definitely need to spend some to support your life/business/project |

This conclusion (Satoshi=scammer) is inescapable, if you agree with certain assumptions:
1) Satoshi is highly intelligent
2) If Bitcoin wants to become currency, it must be widely distributed and in actual use (not hoarded)
3) Bitcoin goes against point 2)
If Bitcoin does go against point 2), then fiat money will surely go against point 2). Take USD for example, FED printed 4x more base money after financial crisis, and commercial banks hold 80% of those money and only let a small fraction of them circulate. So even USD is widely distributed and in actual use, the majority of USD is in the hands of a few bankers http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2013/06/81-5-of-money-created-through-quantitative-easing-is-sitting-there-gathering-dust-instead-of-helping-the-economy.htmlComparing with bitcoin, even Satoshi holds 1 million coins, he has only 1/21 of the total money supply, much less than the USD holdings by those bankers |

Is Satoshi a scammer, out to enrich himself?
No, he's a genius who's trying to liberate us from the fiat scam. |

Satoshi wasn't a scammer but a highly skilled computer scientist.

Satoshi would only benefit if the promises of Bitcoin come true; he wouldn't have any reasons to trick anyone. If Bitcoin wasn't good for the people using it, it wouldn't be good for Satoshi either.

This conclusion (Satoshi=scammer) is inescapable, if you agree with certain assumptions:
1) Satoshi is highly intelligent
2) If Bitcoin wants to become currency, it must be widely distributed and in actual use (not hoarded)
3) Bitcoin goes against point 2)
Here is why Bitcoin goes against point 2) (as has been explained on this board before):
1) Bitcoin heavily favors early adopters. 50% of the currency supply is already mined, and Satoshi holds the biggest stack.
2) This fact entices people to hold onto their bitcoin and not spend them.
3) This fact discourages people from adopting bitcoin, as they would enrich the early adopters, unless they believe that they are early adopters as well that can still profit from a coming wealth transfer.
Pyramid, get rich quick nature:
It seems to me, that the distribution of bitcoin heavily favors its pyramid get rich quick nature. Satoshi never wanted to create currency, but instead was out to create a pyramid to enrich himself. He cleverly disguised this pyramid as a currency.
This might be the reason why he wants to stay anonymous.
The result:
A boom of people wanting to get rich. A bust once no one enters (believing that they are too late to the get rich quick party).
Destruction of confidence after the bust.
So have we presented sufficient evidence to convince you of your idiocy, or do you require more?  |
