Is Satoshi Nakamoto Ukranian?

[bitfocus]

Ukrainian, or Japanese, or American or from any country - does it really matter? we should let him/her/them stay as he/she/they like to live, among the crowd.

base on the "banking on bitcoin" documentary on youtube the closest clue that we have is nick sabo and halfiney, those are the early members of the cypher punk movement , you guys better watch it its an eye opener

Honestly I don't have a lot of deeper information's about Satoshi Nakamoto, but one thing I knew about him? he is a great man who invented, discovered, and developed the virtual world of currency. He was a good person with a clever mind that caused groundbreaking revolutionary development on our economy, social community and personality. That's why even he is still anonymous maybe we should give him a big thanks for everything that  he could gave us in the world of cryptocurrency.

Just for your information: Satoshi Nakamoto invented bitcoin; but Satoshi did not invent cryptocurrencies, and virtual currency in general. We had lesser-known cryptocurrencies in the past like Hashcash[1] and Nick Szabo's Bit Gold[2].

Yes. But "Satoshi Nakamoto" is only a pseudonym. If that was his real name, then people have found out who he is and where he's at already. We don't even know if Satoshi is a "he", "she", or "they".

[Urbinklin]

"Satoshi" can be Ukrainian, Norwegian, Japanese, American, Yes anyone. His identity is hidden, and it is unlikely that we will know who actually created bitcoin and whether it is one person. And I don't think it matters at all.

I also saw the article on some crypto news site. As I know the statue is a combination of three different people with three types of skin color and robot legs. In general it is a combination of possible looks of Satoshi, which means that nobody actually know who is he and how he looks like.

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)

As far as I know, the course of Ukraine is absolutely not aimed at legalizing cryptocurrency. The government pays very little attention to this. Now everyone is busy preparing for the upcoming elections. And the course aimed at euro-integration suggests that Ukraine has the same opinion about cryptocurrency as Europe. I doubt Satoshi is related to Ukraine. ))

As a Ukrainian, I am immensely surprised by the news. Information that a monument to Satoshi will be erected in Kiev has been discussed in the Russian-speaking forum thread for several months now. Many people treat this with sarcasm, others are perplexed, since not less than half of the population of Ukraine has no idea not only who Satoshi is, but what bitcoin is. In this regard, I consider it doubtful a statement that Bitcoin will save Ukraine, because there are very few coin holders among Ukrainians.

And Hal Finney is dead. Died of ALS 5 or so years ago. Hal was the first person Satoshi transacted bitcoin with, he was also the first person aside from Satoshi running a node. And a former home of his was located only blocks away from the Satoshi Nakamoto that People magazine incorrectly named as the Satoshi. And Nick Sabo had a very similar cryptocurrency proposal earlier in the 2000s and Satoshi's white paper explains his/her concept using language that is eerily similar to the exact same words used in Nick's proposal.

My hunch is that it was Nick and Hal that created bitcoin - they are Satoshi Nakamoto.

I think it's some kind of fiction or newspaper joke. There can be no such thing in Ukraine, instead of a monument to Lenin, someone made a monument to Satoshi Nakamoto. This is probably a common joke in order to draw the attention of the world community to the problems of Ukraine.

Please give a link to the article. This is interesting information.

I think no one can know exactly. Everything about Satoshi is just what they guess, not true. No matter who he is, we also should say thank to him for creating a great thing like bitcoin

[Eraldo Coil]

SO, we look at his full name we can easily say it that he is a Japanese or maybe either of his mother and father is Japenese. Since we really don't know he doesn't want to be known or reveal himself to us. All we have to do is thank him for his invention and be grateful that there are people who really wants to help themselves  and others.

we really have to be selective about news. i think this news is far from logic. but let us hope we remain selective in filtering news, especially if it is related to the development of btc prices, so we are not trapped by news

[georgiasus]

Funny theory, but I can not say anything about this. He can be anyone. Ukrainian, Russian, American, Australian, etc.

[beami]

An interesting article and many pros and cons that occur. To respond to this, there are certainly many who consider jokes, while Satoshi Nakamoto will not appear. This is bitcoin for the future that everyone also wants to find its founder that is still a mystery.

Name " Satoshi Nakamoto" doesn't seems like a Ukrainian name but more like a Chinese name but who ever he is the work that is done to the world is really great because most people heard advanced technologies like Blockchain technology and first decentralized digital currency concept through his invention which is bitcoin and it changed the world immensely to a new path technically and economically
