What do you think happened with Satoshi Nakamoto?

[andigentho]

I think he left because the decentralized platform system was running on its own, and it didn't need the owner because it was running on the basis of users and investors. I thought that Satoshi Nakamoto did not leave, he monitored and enjoyed from a distance and did not want to be exposed to the media or the government. This is just my opinion, Sorry if there is an error. thank you

I think Satoshi nakamoto is someone who is not from Japan, but from a group of rulers who control this world through their hands behind the monitor, so the name Satoshi is a mere pseudonym. Because I believe that there is a group of people who are very strong behind today's world finances.

Wherever he is, I hope he is going fine with great health and family, etc but I don't think it matters and it's better to not know, let's the Bitcoin myth survive Cheesy For the conspiracy theories fans, I suppose they will say he is still working for the NSA,

[dvdrewritable]

No one can express what actually had happened to Satoshi Nakamoto even the most interesting thing is nobody has seen him yet. In fact, Satoshi Nakamoto intentionally disappeared himself most probably due to having a security issue. Maybe Satoshi still living in this digital crypto market in disguise mode.

What happened to him or her or the group known as satoshi?
Maybe nothing of note, maybe he has many many alt accounts on the forum?
Maybe satoshi is Franky1? Maybe I am satoshi?
All these answers remain unanswered because satoshi remains anonymous.

So we caught you, Satoshi!

Maybe, maybe not

Some people think he just left so that bitcoin wasn't under his control/guidance and it could left to be truly decentralized. Personally I think he died.. I don't see how any human could leave their wallets untouched if they had that many bitcoin in. Unless he/she was already wealthy 

if he/they was already wealthy?
after death someone inherits something. it is as a rule.

If satoshi was already wealthy that may explain the willingness to leave their wallets untouched. No one would inherit them unless he gave them the private key, which if they do not want the money for themselves they're not going to pass on to their next generation on death. Inheritance is also not a rule. People can simply forego their things when they die and no-one inherits them.

Currently, I’m studying for hobby/work all the information we have at our disposal in The Complete Satoshi of the Satoshi Nakamoto Institute website.

 I started with the early emails and I‘m in the forum activities now, although it is quite technical and there are things of programming and encryption that I do not understand, his way of explaining and his excellent command of English make it quite understandable from a newbie perspective. 

I also know the different forums that he took part in and how he/she/it was creating a community around Bitcoin, until apparently ceased to exist in 2014, inquiring a little in his different users on those forums, I realized that he neither said goodbye and never seemed to retire, was really a sudden disappearance and left me a bit surprised.

What do you think happened to him?

He knew he initiated what he wanted to then he knew that people will take it forward. He didn't want to play with fire, because he knew it wouldn't make a difference with or without him. The whole concept of bitcoin was to distribute power among people, how would that go if the leader is keeping power to himself!

[abanansah]

The mystery behind Satoshi Nakamoto disappearance can't be unveil and I think it is related to the way he wanted the cryptocurrency market to be. Decentralize without a trace of the owner or holder of a particular coin.

[thirsten]

I would like to think he left the spotlight for noble reasons, such as allowing decentralization to be a collaborative effort that depends more on the individuals who believe in it rather than any one person, but I think he was scared.

Many people would've wanted someone like this dead, and would be an enemy of various corrupt governments.

[Whaletale]

I think he is still alive and somewhere very close to the forum with new identity for the betterment of the cryptocurrency to really be what it is called , decentralized and for him taking this bold step to hide his identity is one of the best thing that has happened to cryptocurrency , he is still very alive and close to us in new identity.

[Chiefmonkey]

I'm sure he/she/they are still around

I think in order to help you find your answer to where they are now, it'd be good to know where they came from first

I'm not a conspiracy fan so to speak but I do have an open mind and accept conspiracies are a part of life... like the desire of the financial elite to have a single world currency

If you wanted a currency that is highly traceable then bitcoin is perfect

Bitcoin by the people for the people as the antidote to the fraudulent system we have right now is almost too good to be true it's like a fairy tail... but that doesn't mean it's not true

Still it's worth keeping an open mind... have you seen this link before: https://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/classes/6.805/articles/money/nsamint/nsamint.htm

Can you authenticate it?... allegedly it was produced in 1996 and pretty much describes bitcoin and blockchain tech

FriedFrank.com allegedly got permission to publish it on MIT servers... maybe you could follow them up for authenticity

If this paper has already been discredited then my apologies for sharing it... it's still a good read even for a non tech

Good luck
p.s. if satoshi is of the people then I wish they remain anonymous... if it's state then it's only right this is revealed... regardless of it's origins the pandora's box of open source code, innovation, fairness and humanitarian altruism has been blown open

This is the usual practice of many legendary characters, leaving a legend of a hero, disappeared from people's sights. no one knows who he is, no one knows where he is now. does not take anything, but leaves an immortal legend.
Suddenly appeared and then disappeared quickly，like ghost pirate.
