Satoshi should be in Time's influnetial person of the decade list

Very impossible. If it happens that Satoshi Nakamoto reveals himself in the world then he accepts his death too (not talking literally) but the problem is, he seemed not interested with any popularity or fame, if Nakamoto is after the fame then he should have revealed himself 2 years ago. 

Not sure what is with these death threats and what did he do to get these threats, it is evident that Satoshi is not looking for fame and if he was looking for that he would have revealed himself long back and even now he is able to reveal his identity but he is not willing nor interested in coming back to bitcoin and its development, if he comes out he will get laurels and there is no doubt he will be considered as an influential person because his invention help create a new market and it is not a small development.

He very well could be but only once we gain widespread, mainstream adoption which is possibly still some time away. Bitcoin will need to be standing alongside giants like Paypal before something like TIME recognises Satoshi’s true genius.

But we are talking about a man and not about PayPal and etc. The question is different, is it possible to nominate a person who is still anonymous?

He has given to the world a remarkable technology that has been life changing and has got a potential to be implemented anywhere to make things work flawless. As a part the technology gained popularity through its implementation on financial infrastructure. It succeeded and it is on the way to mainstream adoption though the usage is very small compared to the global fiat usage.

To reach mainstream adoption it takes decades and by then we can have Satoshi to be one among the most influential person list.

Emphasing the word, diversify social ways of communication is a must have for that to happen.

It will not be easy but if you really want to do that i am sure you will be requiring alot of new friends and a group of knowledge people to know where to spread it

Just the news take what's best for their interest on a particular subject on a particular time.

As we know this new year, a decade would have passed. And this time the Time magazine will be taking out most influential person of this decade list. I was thinking, we should start a petition and as Time include Satoashi's name. He was the one who started the financial revolution.

Thoughts on how we can make it happen?

Through mainstream adoption of Bitcoin. If that can happen, Satoshi might very well be the most influential person of the millennium, maybe.

That's a good idea, just try to make an online petition, if many people agree then it will be a pleasure to join in the petition. However, I'm not sure whether Time will consider it, especially with an anonymous, anonymous identity, how can they create inspiring profiles and conduct interviews? Well, that looks very difficult. Although Satoshi made a controversial new breakthrough, it offered many opportunities but was also at high risk, too many pros and cons.

I love how this thread's OP got plagiarized over at cryptotalk.org, complete with the misspelling in the title.  That forum is a running joke.

How much material do you think Time magazine would have on Satoshi, anyway?  I doubt it would be enough to write an article on, unless the article was more focused on bitcoin than on Satoshi.  Plus while bitcoin might be extremely popular with us on the forum, it hasn't exactly changed the world in any appreciable way, and that's just the cold hard fact of the matter.

Those lists are a bunch of BS anyway.
