Satoshi Moving on to Other Things

[th3nolo]

What do you think these other things could be?

I generally assume he was moving on to battle an illness, and that he lost the battle and died.

Maybe all this time it was Hal and because of that he never wrote a message again on the forum.

If satoshi decides to revive his account, can he do it? or have you blocked his account so that no one can revive it?

Bitcointalk, Theymos, would you support Satoshi's comeback?

[electronicash]

he is into 'other things' could mean he is up to bigger things, bigger than BTC. it could mean he is up to set up another project but we are yet not seeing it. but this is if he is still alive.

i always thought he was kidnapped by The Adjustment Bureau but i did not expect he got ill and died due to it, i hope its not tuberculosis because it certainly isn't bigger than BTC.

Probably this. He was dealing with ALS, and he died. He was probably Hal Finney.

Theymos: “Bitcoins Belonging to Satoshi Should Be Destroyed”  

If anyone's coin be destroyed including Satoshi's then what is the security of the coins you are holding, so do not come up with dumb questions  .

Bitcointalk, Theymos, would you support Satoshi's comeback?

All the members will be welcoming Satoshi if someone who claim can provide the necessary proof cryptographically.

Probably this. He was dealing with ALS, and he died. He was probably Hal Finney.

There are many discussion regarding this, Finney had an account here and he used to communicate with Satoshi and help him with the codes during the initial stage.

I know that this is very speculative and impossible to know with certainty, but I would like to hear your opinion.

Satoshi was already concerned with the growing interest in Bitcoin. When Gavin decided to go be interviewed by the CIA, it was the last straw.

He moved onto other things that would allow him to roam free without a bullseye on his forehead. Most likely he's currently a Wal-Mart greeter or holding some other such nondescript job.

satoshi was not that paranoid about being sniped by CIA rifle marksmen. his motives were more so about having multiple occassions where he realised he was becoming a central decider for what was supposedly meant to be a decentralised system
he made a few comments about how he personally didnt want to be reviewing other peoples code and such. and a few times mentioned his dislike for things like SR and also yea gavin doing a lecture infront of government guys.

but it wasnt the fear of the government guys that made him move on it was the realisation that he was becoming to much of a focal point of decision and so he backed off instead of becoming a tyrant on the code..

exactly what happened to Hal.

Yes, Hal Finney, a very smart guy who could make us believe that he was not satoshi, for me this is the very probably.

Well it seems to me the CIA would be more interested in neutralizing threats to the USA, was bitcoin a threat for the USA? It seems to be more a threat for certain types of governments who often happen to be in the opposite side of how America does things. However the project being Free and Open Source software, ensued its continuity regardless of the author. This was the smartest move, once code is released, there is no turning back.

Or maybe he was "quietly removed" as some suggest, but that didn't stop Bitcoin, did it? What would happen to some of the other altcoins if their figure head is imprisoned or gone?

I guess even this is another reason for bitcoin value. The simple fact that its creator is gone, and yet it moves...

[Baby Dragon]

I think it was just an excuse so that we wouldn't bother searching for Satoshi or the person behind the name.
What if Satoshi is still around and hiding with another pseudonym ?

What do you think these other things could be?

I generally assume he was moving on to battle an illness, and that he lost the battle and died.

And this could also be true and could be the reason why Satoshi couldn't comeback to the community.
It has been 10 years now many things could happen maybe before Satoshi even begin creating Bitcoin the person is already sick.

We can't change the fact that it was possible right? but let's just stay optimistic because we can't easily say those things particularly now that Satoshi's identity is still hidden. Also, he/they are the only one who can tell the meaning behind those messages. You have your point there and its absolutely true there are possible things that happened in those years, maybe he's sick or maybe its not about his/their health well I just admire him and his decision because there can be a lot of reason why he have said it. I'll accept it and just be grateful for what he have done for us.

Do you think Satoshi will introduce us to some new concept?

[South Park]

I think Satoshi secretly knew that every single part of his life and online presence would one day be examined whenever Bitcoin makes it big and this seems like a good cover story.

When you think like Satoshi, and you've just created probably the most technically advanced crypto-currency in the world, what would you move on to? Unless it was an illness or condition I definetly think it was just an excuse for him to be able to disappear before things got too heated, and I reckon he's still around in crypto, under a different alias, and possibly still on the forum as well.

If satoshi was really an individual as many of us think then it is entirely possible that he indeed moved to something else that interested him more than bitcoin, satoshi was a genius so it is not difficult to believe that he had other projects in his mind that were more important to him than bitcoin, I know this may seem difficult to believe since bitcoin is such a tremendous invention that is going to change the world but maybe he was not passionate about it anymore and he wanted to do something else.

[Casdinyard]

Do you think Satoshi will introduce us to some new concept?

You mean bigger than bitcoin? Is there will be? Maybe it have but probably not the one that is related to bitcoin.
That, if Satoshi will be here again. But I doubt that not unless he can access the 980,000 bitcoin in allegedly Satoshi's address.

Yes, Hal Finney, a very smart guy who could make us believe that he was not satoshi, for me this is the very probably.

I don't think so, if you could just read their conversation on early development of bitcoin you could sense they're two different people and besides I'm sure Satoshi or Hal wouldn't create alt account just for the sake of fooling us.

Anyway, just a little bit curious if Hal Finney's account here was been hacked or what? I mean he died August 28, 2014 but he was last active here March 29, 2017.

Good catch. Most probably his children tho. He wrote that he'll leave all private keys to his children.

We just dont know whether he will come out of hiding to make something more spectacular or not at all, something might still happen. I just agree, what he did was extraordinary. Bitcoin is likely to change the world completely through its use and features. Bitcoin still has a bright future, although its security will continue to be tested as one valuable asset. In addition, the rate of adoption of bitcoin which continues to increase little by little will affect the success of conventional currencies. My assumption.

Yes as i already said, he is/was a smart guy who know what could happening since the beginning... for me that possibility is more than possible, even most of the things in Hall life fit with the S.N. "life"... Obviously is just an oppinion.

[pawanjain]

I think he was very much confident about bitcoin and also about his morale that bitcoin as a technology should continue as a distributed decentralized peer to peer currency. May be this is why he stopped using bitcoin completely and passed it on to be maintained by his trusted peers.
He was obviously a genius which is why he moved on to different things rather than sticking on to one.

[Youghoor]

I generally assume he was moving on to battle an illness, and that he lost the battle and died.

Well that could also mean so many things considering the context  of his message. It could also mean that he is developing a system to help with the adoption of bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general or on a vacation somewhere enjoying the bitcoins he has in his wallets.

LOL how you assume that he died.

To make it clear, he said that himself, suppose to be the case without any proof in short assume .

We need to look the value and make the money with that if Satoshi comes to live we may expect good price growth considering this as positive move for crypto field. We wish to have the official announcement of Satoshi soon among us.

If Satoshi could prove himself at a later stage he would have been back when there was a big battle going on regarding scaling and if he ignored that it is evident that he is not interested to assume that character once again.

[rodel caling]

Maybe he was Craig Wright and he actually  already invented Bitcoin 2.0  by the name of BSV. That's stupid, I don't think he'll again work on a bitcoin related project. He might be working on a new form of crypto or maybe the work is not related to crypto at all. All we can do is assume, satoshi had the plan to leave bitcoin and disappear without a trace and we should respect his choice.
[/quote]



Haha perfect not possible he was Craig Wright. He want to destroy bitcoin that news negative feedback to the digital currency, I think satoshi not saying that words moving into other things he has the inventor of bitcoin why he need  give negeative statement for their creation.
