Satoshi is Back, suggests Fortune

[BitcoinFX]

Why would Satoshi go through all the trouble to hide his identity for years and now release a book that can be traced back to him. A book will have a publisher and the publisher have to pay Satoshi and that will leave a paper trail back to Satoshi. It is not as if Satoshi need the money and even if Satoshi just do this to donate the money to charity, then this will still be traced back to him/her.  

A much better approach would just be to write a email or add a entry on a Blog, with proof of a signed messaged to his/her coins.  

Indeed. A persons circumstances can change greatly. However, I don't see anything (yet) that we didn't really already know or that isn't ad-lib.

As someone who was here early on (when Satoshi was on this forum) I do occasionally receive requests for historical information ...

Example:

"Hello,

I am developing a website dedicated to the history of bitcoin.  I noticed you are an early user of bitcoin, and was wondering if you had any e-mail conversations with Satoshi or other early developers that you would be willing to share?  If requested, I will remove any of your personal information before making anything public.

I am also interested in any IRC bitcoin or bitcoin-dev logs (pre-2011).

Thank you for your time!"

...

Satoshi - If you recall, can you tell me what you told me you wanted to build for Bitcoin, before I also left this forum?   

P.S. Do send me a PM for my protonmail account and yes I ofc have a 2nd 'authenticator' question ready, if you know the first answer.

This is ridiculous, Satoshi has long since disappeared and made himself anonymous. He covers his identity so bitcoin is not a contention for the government and I think there is no reason for him to claim bitcoin back, let alone for popularity.

[nikonova]

it cant be true lol he was hiding for a decade now why would he expose himself after 10 years

Bloomberg Fortune, today (or yesterday, depending on where you live):

"Unknown Bitcoin Creator Satoshi Nakamoto Might Be Writing a Book

Is the unknown creator of Bitcoin writing a book about it?

That could be concluded from a cryptic message posted Friday at a website possibly linked to Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonym used by the person or people who released the original Bitcoin white paper in 2008."

Can someone kindly tell us what website they're talking about? Its not this one is it?

I am no sure if I should believe this or not. Satoshi is undoubtedly the king of Crypto and has introduced it but he has been out of this business since a few years. Let’s see if something actually happens. Till then, keep investing in undervalued coins that can give you great returns like PRG, ICX etc.

The question is will Satoshi actually do that? He can but it might be a rumour too. And why are you just focusing on bitcoin? There are altcoins working great and coming up with new exchanges. Look at Lisk, ADA and TAU.

[mazdafunsun]

Yea.. this seems odd, i dont think he would not want to do such thing and risk his identity to be discovered  for just a book.
If he wanted e would most likely to do in other anonymous way.

Sometimes it is very interesting to think of time when we he was active in this forum and interacted with some people on this forum who are still active.

[dumiya]

I don't think Satoshi wrote this. If he wanted to do so he could do it earlier.
Probaly someone wants to show that he is Satoshi and promote another altcoin as he can get free marketing by pretending as Satoshi. I will not trust any book which is claimed author as Satoshi until I see a signed message from the bitcoin genesis address with it.

[edjames]

It will be interesting to see if anything comes of this, and if it does transpire and a (genuine) book is published, I think it will be a great time for crypto and BTC especially

[galinskiydmitriy]

I think this news people want to confuse and artificially create an agiotage around this crypto currency. There is no evidence that it really was Satoshi not provided.

[yianni]

If he was really back the easiest thing for him would be to post on this very forum that he created and announce his book.
Went through the entire website and read everything there. I have to admit, whoever wrote it did an extensive research even though almost everything is publicly available.
He hint that he might give proof of the genesis block from the initial version of bitcoin. Not proof of the original genesis block from the bitcoin blockchain but it is proof that it is him, if there is a way to verify that to begin with.
Personally I'm very skeptic about it, but it would be nice to have the original dev back sorting out all the issues with miners/devs, blocksize, Gavin, BCH etc etc.

[SUDARMONO]

Satoshi nakamoto is a pseudonym used by the creator or creator of bitcoin, and indeed no one has been able to figure out who actually satoshi nakamoto himself, and he rarely appears and appears only occasionally in writing.

[gesdan]

so Satoshi Nakamoto is the name of a person? for this time i heard about Satoshi Nakamoto there are many rumors about it, some people said that Satoshi Nakamoto is the name of 5 company in Japan, from this news i believe that Satoshi Nakamoto is the name of person

[drwhobox]

It’s possibles that Bitcoin can still be revived by Satoshi itself! Sooner or later there will be a new Bitcoin or a sequel of it. Will wait for the Big update!

[nutildah]

today, this was added to that website.

i don't know what to think, it looks like a hoax

but at least is not craig because he stated in the first pdf that he was on the east coast

Hey thanks for posting this. You're the first poster to post something useful here, and its what I asked for, so I'm giving you a Merit.

[pooya87]

this seems to me more like an advertisement to hype up the book that is coming. it doesn't seem to be released yet so we don't know what is going to be in it! publicly available information most probably with some imaginary added stuff. either sold to earn money or to push some agenda.
i know i am judging the book by the cover! but so far it has been like this so it is my assumption until proven otherwise.

[tailor.and]

I think his coming back will play an amazing impact to bitcoin. I'm very excited to know what will happen in future about it.

[JerryJam]

The crypto-currency society reacted violently to the news that Satoshi Nakamoto returned and even wrote a book. To me personally it is a little hard to believe. Why the man (if man) hiding his identity for many years now suddenly decided to appear in public. Something's wrong.Probably someone hiding behind a popular name trying to promote their ideas. There is no guarantee that these ideas will be adequate.

[Lamisa asfiya]

If satoshi nakamoto is come back. I think for this reason  the price will be affect. We all hope that it will happen and we do not when it happen. if its true and  it would be great and the whales will come back to btc and it will pump.

[kasurnya]

I do not think Satoshi will have time to write a book, he will still work there to progress bitcoin though without acknowledgment. However I think this is a good idea from the author of the book to get a lot of fans, because it has acknowledged itself as satoshi.

[the_crypto01]

Thank you for the link. It seems that they are is going to be a new birth of BTC. I feel very curious about this. I am waiting to see what’s going to happen.
