We can't tell because Satoshi can be a group. But there's always a possibility. A decade passed already and it's been too long yet we still have no idea about who Satoshi is. Maybe he's still alive and just watching us while having his own freedom. If he's actually dead, then there would be lesser possibility of knowing the real Satoshi...

I'm just curious if his family does actually know that he is Satoshi, the one who created bitcoin...

Even if it's a group of people, there must be the leader of this group that should be considered the Satoshi. I don't think it's a group, though. For one, this forum's Satoshi was lost likely one person. More importantly, why would Hal Finney be the first Bitcoin recipient? A group of people could run some tests between themselves.
Satoshi could be a woman, though, as far as I know. People keep saying "he", but it could be a "she".
Perhaps, we'll never know. And I think it's for the best.

what you guys think ?

I don't think Satoshi has died

Satoshi only hid his identity and his family, because of the Bitcoin that he created maybe, he was afraid it would disturb the comfort and security of him and his family, but we do not know for sure what reason he chose until now he still hid himself.

I think this is a fairly political post with a clickbait title.

Blockstream and its developers are more involved with a set of products of their own that build upon bitcoin. Their contributions to bitcoin core are going through the same open process as any contribution to bitcoin. In fact, if anybody, including OP, came up with a complete Bitcoin Improvement Proposal and had the experience to back it up, it wouldn't matter who he was working for.

People shouldn't just pay attention to Blockstream being used as a buzzword for evil. We should be thankful for their contributions to bitcoin. If we are to be critical of anything, it's more useful to focus on specific instances.

Satoshi Nakamoto's identity is truly mysterious and no one knows his whereabouts and no one accurately reveals his identity which raises the question whether Satoshi Nakamoto is still alive or dead and I cannot answer it.
and he is a great person and very genius has created bitcoin that can help everyone.

Yes he is and can you guys leave him in peace so that he can have a successful "RIP". All these queries about his identities and whereabouts are definitely a pain in his butt and you guys need to put an end to this once and for all . If he wants to be known he would have done this about 5 years ago. Let's all learn to respect a man's last wishes!

Looks like the direction of the discussion is going to Fud. It doesn't matter if Satoshi is dead. He has long been gone and he wants it. Nothing bad will happen to BTC and its development.

People from then on can build apps on of its blockchain and its still opensource that it can be used by anyone. The result of so many blockchain companies today is what satoshi had started.

[suvo05]

It's totally a prediction on a person, whose identity is even not known.  But there is one big factor we all know that the person owns lots of BTC and if he is dead then the Big question is what happened to his BTC?

Whether dead or alive, satoshis legacy will leave on. Satoshi left behind an innovation that will continue to be in the lips of everyone as Bitcoin is gradually gaining adoption by the day. Projects such as Ethereum, ripple, neo and to mention but a few exists today because of the satoshis innovation. His legacy will never die.

No one knows,
He could be alive and dead.

It is also possible that he is keeping people informed that he is still alive because we know that he may have a threat to his life or that he may be used by influential people.

Whatever the reason, I can say that he is smart because he created a coin that has the potential to change the global financial trend.

Hmm that would make him/her Schrödinger's cat.

We can then assume he/she exists in both states, and only if you manage to find him/her, you will then know which of the states is in...

See? It all relates to quantum superposition, proof that he/she was aware of quantum physics

But do note that as long as there is no observation, both states are true. Would you risk killing him/her?

So from now on we can confidently assume that Satoshi is in both states as long as he remains unobserved, which is why no one may ever find him/her ever again.

There, mystery solved. Move along, move along, nothing to see here...

Either he is already dead or he is really determined that since he already took the path of moving away from Bitcoin so that we should not anymore look for any possibility of him coming back and taking the rein in Bitcoin. Now, please elaborate to me why we are at the mercy of GitHub developers...what are the many instances that we can consider for this kind of conclusion? Personally, maybe it could have been better if Satoshi Nakamoto is still here providing the good leadership that we are all needing but the reality is that there is a little chance he is getting back to us, so we have to move on and help in any way we can to make Bitcoin be adopted by as many people as possible.

I don't think he died but you need to put yourself in his shoes. If he makes himself public there will be a big controversary. One being that he has over 1 million coins that he or his family can sell anytime and cause the price to crash. Another could be for his safety. Being a billionaire isn't easy since there are many who can kidnap you and hold you for ransom so you need to hire security at all times.

He might of mined some coins in 2010 which he sells from time to time, if he starts selling some of those earlier 2009 mined coins then people will start seeing some pattern and might trace where the coins get sent too. Very rarely these days is a coinbase transaction executed unlike in 2011-2012.

Either that or he just misplaced his private keys, however being involved with security I highly doubt that and he most likely kept backups.

Nobody can identify the answer to this question because we don't even know the person behind that pseudonym, let's just accept the fact that we are not capable on finding out his real identity. Maybe he did it for some unknown reason where he can protect himself from any issues and we should just respect his decision because we have no other choice but to understand his situations. Let's just be grateful for what he did because he helped us on changing our lives into something better.

[PointHope]

Maybe Satoshi is alive and well, still working for the  NSA!
He's keeping quiet for obvious reasons..

We don't know if Mr. Satoshi Nakoto is still alive or not but I still hoping he still alive and I want to thank him for making this kind of technology. Until now, no one can say who he is and no one can find him. Even there are some people who claim that they are real Satoshi Nakamoto I do not believe and maybe we should wait until the real Satoshi Nakamoto show up. But, I know it's hard for him to reveal himself and if ever he reveal himself do you think it might have an impact in bitcoin, especially on its price?

[wxxyrqa]

I don’t understand why, since it is important to get an answer to the question whether Satoshi Nakamoto is alive or dead and where he is.  If these questions were important, then such conversations could be called speculation in the name of Satoshi Nakamoto, but I do not think that the future of the cryptocurrency and the entire cryptocurrency market, including Bitcoin, depends on the answer to these questions.

[inanilujimi]

Satoshi is dead or not but has created something valuable for many people, he should be equated with Thomas alva edison and other inventions. Which is very useful for many people.
But unfortunately until now no one really knew who he was.

GITHUB developers, owned by blockstream

Which developers owned how?

If Bitcoin dies, it'll be because the public was too stupid to handle having a system that doesn't have any higher power taking care of it-- like a child that forgets to feed their pet gerbil.   The fact that so many people fall so easily for that sort of nonsense is probably the biggest danger signal against Bitcoin's future.

[cynical]

I haven't been active her for a while and I come back to see that things haven't changed,
still people are speculating about Satoshi.

Bitcoin is doing just fine since he disappeared, development has progressed too.
That is how he created it and left it, so that it can be developed by anyone not just one single figure because there is strength in that and it's one of the reasons bitcoin is so strong.

the fact when anything goes global it will stay, no matter the users, like if people will start selling there btc, i will buy them all just  as collection !
