Is Satoshi Nakamoto Ukranian?

[Dominic_Johnson]

Bloomberg ran an article yesterday about the decline of Ukraine, and how 'guns and bitcoin are the only ways to save the country. The article also spoke about the toppling of the statue of Lenin in December 2013 and, since late September this year, the spot where the statue once was now allows you to see an AR version of Satoshi Nakamoto. And, according to a few people.... “He could be Ukrainian.” Thoughts? (let me know if you can't find the article and want to read it)

Maybe, maybe not. No one knows. And it doesn't matter anyway.

Thank Satoshi for his invention, and let it be. Dude's trying to be anonymous. Let Satoshi live his life peacefully in a beachside of a beatiful country with some hookers and liquor.

If you look at the whitepaper and various postings you will see that he or she has an excellent command of the English language, probably a native speaker. Therefore unlikely to be a Ukrainian

[spadaccino]

Even if he'd be, and I personally don't think so, You won't find out either - look what he ( they ) set up here - a completely revolutionary monetary and economic distrupted world, so do not think for just a second if he wanted to hide from his anonymity online he really could have done it!

If you post something, at least put the link so that everyone can read and give their opinion. You don't need to ask people around. With that sad, we really don't have any idea who the hell Satoshi is, he could be from other planet for all we know. The thing is, let the man remain anonymous if he wanted to be discovered, he could have done so in 2017 where Bitcoin peak at $20k.

Whatever the reason and where it came from, for me Satoshi Nakamoto is a hero for all of us here. Bitcoin has shown great achievements at the end of 2017, and is the center of attention! Thank you Satoshi nakamoto wherever you are and success for you. Even though I have never seen his face.
Thank you!!

That's.. quite an assumption you have there. not because the english writing was good it doesn't automatically mean we should count out the Ukrainians lol. I'm pretty sure there are a good number of Ukrainians out there with excellent english. But who knows anyway.

[funchiestz]

I think everyone would be much more helpful to us if we had worked for Bitcoin as much as we would deal with Satoshi. Satoshi offered us a vision and now just watching. I think we should stop looking for who you are. I'm sure if it has to come out, it will come when the right time comes.

[Phantomberry]

I think satoshi nakamoto is a group of here in bitcointalk you can see there are so many news they are claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto in order to be famous.

[bitcampaign]

I think that is interesting, but I am not interested in reading more details about Satoshi, Satoshi must remain a mysterious person for everyone, so if it is true you think that is true, I appreciate it

[jwplayer0]

I think "Satoshi Nakamoto" is a group of members (developers)

[WalletPlus]

Satoshi isn't Ukranian, Japanse or whatever, he is a world person!

Of course, it's impossible to deny this option. This person can be of any nationality. But if we talk about knowledge of the language, not only the native speaker can well owned them. It's possible that a person was born in one country, and he was taken to another country as a child, and there he learned the language and knows it better than the native speaker. In general, to be honest, I hear such news for the first time.

I share the same view, this is the guy who does not want to become popular and maybe he is a very simple and shun publicity, we should just be thankful that he created this technology and let him go on with his life maybe he is a Filipino, we never know it really not confirms his nationality.

I really can't say anything about it. If you look his name you can just say that he is Japan or Asian ofcourse but anything can be happen todays world. When i see Ukrania i think about the Ethereum, because i know that it allowed with the Russian side. And they belive that the Ukraine will follow the footsteps of Slovenia and raise the public awareness about the cryptocurrency.

Here is the news:

Ukrainian Initiative Plans To Construct Satoshi Nakamoto Statue says

Obviously the name Satoshi Nakamoto sounds Japanese but it's probably just a fake name.  I saw an article that pointed out it was a combination of the following companies:

1. Samsung

2. Toshiba

3. Nakamichi

4. Motorola


The mystery of who Satoshi is will most likely never be solved because he did everything he could to stay hidden.

[Furious 7]

I am not sure he is Ukrainian, some say Satoshi lives in Australia.
I do not want to argue and that in my opinion is not important. he remains a mystery so far.

[eternalgloom]

Why do you care is the bigger question here IMO...
What would it change for you personally, if you did find out that Satoshi is Ukranian?

I really do not understand the appeal of trying to speculate who he might be.
Maybe because some previous searches for Satoshi have ended up in people getting needlessly harassed by journalists.

I'm not going to put any time and effort into trying to doxx someone who clearly wanted to remain anonymous.

[YuginKadoya]

Many don't really care at all if Satoshi is Ukranian, Japanese, Or whatever people might think of Satoshi's whereabouts might be but one is certain for all people that known Satoshi by his name, It is because he created Bitcoin a great technology that lets you have a fast and convenient  transaction wherever and whenever you might be, And yes provided us with freedom and have an extra income regarding the blockchain technology,

Whatever the facts about him he will be well known by that name and will remain a mystery to the whole bitcoin community. 

[syaripudin]

Until now I have not heard for sure about the existence of Satoshi Nakamoto, or maybe he is designing other programs and certainly what he has created today is bitcoin has brought a new civilization in financial terms.
