"Who is Satoshi?" Should we put an end to this discussion?

[Pingip]

I think we'll never know who he is.

if you try to trace the name that send information to journalist by wiki leaks you will get no where and there only clues

and

really with dont need more then this clues mate,

Don't expect them or any underground team to say clearly with did Bitcoin we also cicada and everything come from wiki leaks, if it was like this they for sure didn't was behind this projects.

But the facts out there and deep research need to be done, and it's the most realistic rather then fiction and life sometime stranger then fiction.

Wiki leaks it's the biggest operation that was in history in leaking information even agents go to see what new over there,.

Ok ....cicada the biggest operation that was in searching very smart people focus on cryptography and hiding information,

cicada 3301 have the same vision as wiki leaks and also talked about cash in leaked emails from winners in 2012.

Between them you have the biggest stratup/operation done in the finical area.

It's true some people from wiki leaks said that peer to peer file sharing can bring finical freedom.

Wiki leaks work heavily with peer to peer and cryptography.

It's all tied together whether you want it or not and realistic* compare to all the shit out there, the vision behind them is the same, satoshi in the papers say the same what wiki leaks and cicada say in different words and they all work with the same technology -- peer to peer and cryptography

Wiki leaks projects when they send information to journalist is always under one name.

From here you don't need more information it's all tied together , and realistic.

at last to know this more deep then this dont try to get...

but still inspire to know all this

Hal Finney, end of discussion.

[Darker45]

A loud and clear YES from me! I cannot see the whole point on this Satoshi Nakamoto identity uncovering mission. Perhaps there really is no point on this. We have Bitcoin on our hands already, plus a core team that is sort of making sure that the operation is kept at its best form and running forward smoothly. What else could we ask for? The rest of the responsibilities, say to promote wider adoption, are left on us, the community of Bitcoin supporters. 

If the mission to uncover the person behind the name is simply out of pure curiosity or the want to raise some questions directly to himself, I don't think it is worth it. Satoshi is better off left a mystery.

[Daniel91]

I think we will never find out answer to this question.
Given the fact that people are naturally curious and want to know everything, Bitcoin users will always ask themselves this question and this discussion will never end

[coin-investor]

Satoshi Nakamoto probably  planned all of this, he knew that his creation will be huge since this is a unique concept and can disrupt the banking system, he knew that he stumble something that will be against the present system, he is using a tor whenever he login here do not have a social media account, and he limits his interaction.

We really like to know who Nakamoto is, all inventions and creations have a personality behind it and it's very unusual for a popular and revolutionary creation where the creator is nowhere to be found, but we should respect his wishes he wants a private life and we should just be thankful that he creates Bitcoin and blockchain.
 

[samcrypto]

It doesn't matter who really is Satoshi Nakamoto now. What significant is that the one he invented (Bitcoin) is popular now and can be seen beyond his expectations. His main goal in creating bitcoin was already achieved. And Satoshi, whether he is still alive or not, will be remained as the Founder of Bitcoin in our heart. So many fake satoshi is spreading in the internet, why can they gain from this? Short term Popularity? Lol

Claiming yourself as Satoshi will just result to hate, we heard so many self-proclaim as Satoshi and now the public hates him so much. Let’s stop this and better to look for some improvemets with bitcoin so the price can start the pump. Satoshi made a good invention and we are enjoying that technology, thanks to him. Bitcoin will be better if Satoshi is still unknown.

what if the real satoshi nakamoto showed up ? and he will show alot of proof to prove that he is really the real satoshi nakamoto  . will he still be hated by the public ? no i dont think so   .  his invention bitcoin is too great and people already enjoyed using it even if they will insist and  lie   . recently , so many threads have opened up about this unmasking satoshi  but idk if the case has been solved or not   . if not then its okay to keep seeking for the mysteries behind satoshi  ,

[FlamingFingers]

I don't know if this discussion will be ever closed.

This type of discussion will not close from cryptocurrency enthusiasts because it has a mystery that people want to see behind Bitcoin, they would want to know that who are behind the technology either as an individual or a group of persons, they would also want to know the family of the creators and at last be able to know their company and country of residence. It will be unending discussion from now to eternity.

Definitely the discussion will not end,  continuous discussion about Who Satoshi  will not put tension on Satoshi to disclose his identity

It's best we put an end to this discussion and channel those energy used in discussing to think about how more adoption for bitcoin will come to place. I believe if Satoshi disclose his identity it might have a negative impact on bitcoin, he knows what he's doing that's why he chose to be anonymous

If he actually did show up one day and provided concrete proof that he is actually Satoshi say by signing and verifying a signed message generated by the Gensis block then most likely it would be bad for the markets.

Sure he might sound like a nice guy but people these days are assuming that the 1 million BTC is lost forever and will never hit the markets. If it turns out he is actually alive there is the possibility of him to start selling and causing massive panic.

Hence its best for Satoshi to just remain a mystery.

I don't think it's that important, because if we find Satoshi, a lot of people might be disappointed in him.

Fully agree - he is a myth already and many ppl like to have their own idea about what Satoshi should be - and what not

[jake zyrus]

We all agree that Satoshi is an important part of bitcoin. If it wasn't for him, bitcoin would be nothing. But the arguments about who is Satoshi and for a lot of people claiming to be one, it's becoming more and more uninteresting. We're getting used to all those fake Satoshi. I bet this discussion won't end as long as we don't found who is the real Satoshi but for me, we don't have to exert to much time and effort on looking for him. We can still honor him/her even though we don't have any idea about his identity.

[dupee419]

SATOSHI can be considered as an individual who started all of this or may also be considered as a GROUP or an organization, he has no identity or whatsoever and I think that this topic has been running out for a very long time and all of the people are quite curious on who is the real maker of Bitcoin, but one thing for sure is that all of us may want to know Satoshi but in a world where anonymity is everywhere it would also be very much likely be hard to find out who that person is, and one thing for sure is that would It really be important or are we just wasting time trying to find out who that person is wherein we can actually make better progress rather than trying to be a Sherlock knowing everything from the past.

[notbatman]

Did Satoshi ever mention where he got the idea to use bittorrent to host the ledger and "miners" to verify transactions? I know he spent a lot of time on IRC back in the late 90's early 00's...

[CODE200]

There is a theory that we, Homo Sapiens, became number one among all the living things on Earth because we love to gossip, which allows us to co-operate in large numbers. So, maybe it's in our genes, and that's why, I have to admit, I, too, still want to know who the real Satoshi is, how much money does he have, who is he married to, etc. But is it really that important?

In the documentary 'Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It' Andreas M. Antonopoulos is saying the following words:

"Who is Euclid? We don't know. We don't know if Euclid was one person or multiple people. And you know what? It doesn't matter. Euclidean geometry works whether I know who Euclid was or not. Whether Euclid was a moral and good person or whether he was a corrupt plutocrat and a bastard. Science and mathematics have essential truth that stands alone irrespective of its inventors and irrespective of their motives. Well, Bitcoin is a system based on mathematical truths, and these mathematical truths stand alone. We can read the source code in Bitcoin and understand it, and it will be true whether Satoshi Nakamoto is a man, a woman, a collection of individuals, a government agency or aliens from the future."
- Andreas M. Antonopoulos - 'Bitcoin: The End of Money as We Know It' (00:39:04)

I tend to agree with those words.

What about you, guys? Please share your opinions.

Satoshi is very mysterious because he created this whole bitcoin and yet he didn't publicize who is/are behind this large cryptocurrency; bitcoin. This discussion will never come to and end until he, she or they showed up their true identity.

[zedicus]

The end for this endless discussion must be done.Knowing who the real satoshi nakamoto is pointless as it will not help us be better at trading or whatever we are doing in order to profit on bitcoin.Does knowing him will get you tons of bitcoin?

[Quidat]

Didnt know the latest one yet who joined the bandwagon of faketoshis https://www.investopedia.com/tech/three-people-who-were-supposedly-bitcoin-founder-satoshi-nakamoto/

Who knows if Satoshi is an individual or not but we have seen lots of dramas on this crypto space whose people trying to push up that they are satoshi.
I guess i would input my infos on here https://albacore.io/faketoshi .lol

[Kakmakr]

The debate or the conspiracy theories over who Satoshi Nakamoto is, should never stop... because the more we talk about Satoshi and the more conspiracy theories that are thrown out there, the deeper the mystery gets and the muddier the water gets for him/her or them to hide.

Satoshi's real identity should never be revealed, because a lot of people wants to do harm with that kind of information. <Law suites / Hackers / Thieves / governments ....>

Let's create a lot more confusion with all these conspiracy theories, because it is helpful to Satoshi.  

[nara1892]

he is the person who created this bitcointalk forum, and disappeared in December 2010
and I heard that he still keeps 1 million bitcoin from pre mine
there will be many conspiracy theories if we keep thinking about this

But we don't know if he or she or a girl or even a boy. Satoshi is very mysterious when bitcoin created.  Many people claimed that they are satoshi but still unknown who is really Satoshi Nakamoto maybe someday he or she arrive but for now Satoshi wants to be have private life because he or she know once he expose his Identity to the public there is a lot of happen to him.

[agustina2]

I guess it is part of human nature to be curious any time. But, finding out who satoshi is may or may not affect everything at all. I guess the reason why he wants to be anonymous is also for his security. And we dont even know if satoshi is really an individual or a group of people. Sometimes it is best to leave the unknown unknown and satoshi itself intends not to disclose his true identity after his creation, so just let it be.

Satoshi decided to live that way. It is his (or her or their) choice to be anonymous. Yes, it's really tempting to know the truth behind that name, but there are some things left not to be known for the good of many.

Different conspiracies will continue to be created. It's never ending. And it's really tiring to think on which or what to believe. It's better to focus on what matters most: the betterment of bitcoin.
