Satoshi ruined a poor man's life

[whtchocla7e]

If you're gonna make up an online handle (screenname) that is going to become associated (or synonymous) with something as big as Bitcoin
at least be a little fucking creative and not use the name of a real guy who just happens to fit your profile and characteristics...

[coastermonger]

There are numerous people named Satoshi Nakamoto.  He didn't ruin anyone's life.  You can thank the reporter Leah Goodman for that.

There are numerous people named Satoshi Nakamoto.

Name at least one..

The Newsweek article described several in the USA. You can find like 6 people on LinkedIn. You know how to use a search engine.

[drawingthesun]

Satoshi must immediately sign a message from the genisis block proving he is not this Dorian guy.

Yeah because you can sign a message to prove you aren't someone.

Listen you might be sarcastic but unfortunately I've seen dumber things on this forum, so.

It would, however, establish that the P2P foundation message was actually by him, and not somebody who hacked his account.

[jadehorse]

Yes. it's not fair to blame satoshi for ruining someone's life only because of his name!it's completely journalist's mistake

[PenAndPaper]

The way i see it Satoshi gave a poor man a free launch...

[b!z]

No, the Newsweek reporter did.

[Lauda]

No, the Newsweek reporter did.

This.
Besides there is no way that he's the only person named Satoshi Nakamoto.

lol
Are you serious abut that question?
Name someone, whos Name is "Satoshi Nakamoto"?
I give you a hint: His name is not Justin Bieber.

[Agestorzrxx]

Of course he would deny it.
It's obviously he is the real Satoshi Nakamoto.

[DoctorOz]

And so what if he is... what changes? Not much!

Isn't it obvious or are you dimwitted yourself?

And to a great extent Satoshi predated the popularity of linkedin.
He's probably not even one of the 6 people that show up in a search.

Don't blame Satoshi for the news reporter's irresponsibility in publishing hastily, and without adequate verification.

Do you really think satoshi thought bitcoin was gonna get as big as it is now? no, so stop bashing him for fucking stupid reasons

[BruceFenton]

That's not on him.

[spazzdla]

Why are we acting like there are not richer people out there criminals are probably more interested in.  It's way easier to steal gold or paper.. only a tool would attempt to physically steal a wallet.  OH I GOT THE FILE YA.. now all I gotta do is solve this 35 character password...  Furthermore he lives in america.. the cops would be there asap.  I don't think he is in as much danger as people think he is.

[stsbrad]

And how is his life ruined? They said hes the possible creator of bitcoin. It's not like hes been added to the sex offender list. All this stuff is silly and out of hand.

[RodeoX]

Satoshi Nakamoto is a common name in Japan. During the time I spent there I met Satoshis and Nakamotos.

[Honeypot]

Who is to say this guy didn't post the 'I am not Dorian Nakamoto'? Who can legitimately say who was behind the screen and login for that name? Simple question, but what evidence do you have that he ISN'T the owner of that name online and just typed that up?  

Enlighten us.

I'm leaning towards 'congratulations, great joke' - But the amount of dumb shit I read around here, you could forgive me for having to ask.

We're not just talking about people grabbing Dorian or invading his home (worst case scenario but very unlikely).

We're talking about phonecalls where the attacker makes threats or claims to have taken a family member hostage, demanding bitcoin payments. This happens more than you might think to people all the way down the rich lists and can cause a tremendous amount of stress.

Dorian stands a good chance of becoming a target - for the rest of his life.

Hey dumbass, when the Satoshi psuedonym was chosen, bitcoin wasn't "as big" as it is today. In fact, almost nobody in the fucking world knew or cared what cryptocurrency or bitcoin were back then. It is only thanks to the efforts and struggles of the Bitcoin community over the past three years that bitcoin has grown as big as it has.

Now fuckoff back to your cave, you dipshit troll.

Stupid post, OP angry and can't make a proper case about it. Apparently the stupid posts nowadays don't only come from newbie accounts.

Besides, he most likely is our Satoshi, so it's his life that Leah the scummy reporter ruined!  

Why are we acting like there are not richer people out there criminals are probably more interested in.  It's way easier to steal gold or paper.. only a tool would attempt to physically steal a wallet.  OH I GOT THE FILE YA.. now all I gotta do is solve this 35 character password...  Furthermore he lives in america.. the cops would be there asap.  I don't think he is in as much danger as people think he is.

How many suburban houses do you know of that are more or less completely unsecured and occupied by an elderly gentleman and his 93 year old mother that has $400-$700 million in an online currency, whereby if you get a hold of it no one can reverse the transaction? There are probably hackers that already trying to find out his IP in the unlikely event that he kept some of his wallets on a connected computer.  

The scummy reporter made him a prime target for everyone from government agencies with a political agenda to violent ruthless criminals that would stop at nothing to get a hold of hundreds of millions worth of Bitcoins!

Since 1880, the name “Satoshi” was recorded 297 times in the SSA database.

There are 1,997 people in the U.S. with the last name Nakamoto.

There you go.

[PangaeaCrypto]

There is no way the creator of Bitcoin, isn't securely storing his Bitcoin.


I think its him personally, he's just humble. And we can value the coin at half a billion but when he would sell he would crash the price, meaning its not really worth half a billion if nobody will buy it all off him at 1 fixed price.

[jake23l]

Good night OP is retarded. 
1. Its not an uncommon name
2. Don't think he knew it was going to be as big as it is today
I repeat OP is retarded

It's all about statistics, and it's only in the USA. Disclaimer tells you the results might be inaccurate, however they can't be completely off.
Atleast it proves a point that there is more than a high chance that there's been more than 1 satoshi nakamoto alive for the last 50 years.
I'm just trying to prove my point about how stupid OP is.

No they are not.

They're not suspicious per say, but they're not a 100% accurate when it comes to unusual names like Satoshi. However they're fully accurate if you search for common names.

My name and last name are as rare as his.
I'm pretty sure that my own results are accurate, unless someone made a clone of me (used the same name) while I was sleeping.
