What is your Satoshi theory? Deceased or alive & well

[odolvlobo]

In my opinion, the best narrative so far is that Dave Kleinman is Satoshi, and that Craig Wright and (perhaps) others were also involved somehow.

Mr. Kleinman is gone and the private keys are lost. That is why nobody has proven that they are Satoshi, why his coins have not been touched, and why Craig Wright thinks he can make people believe that he is Satoshi, but instead he looks like an idiot.

It could be completely wrong, but I think its the best one out there right now.

What is your Satoshi theory?

Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on Satoshi Nakamoto.

If he's not with us today, I'm sure he'd be appalled with the amount of money being printed by governments/central banks.

One of his legendary quotes are:

"If you don’t believe it or don’t get it, I don’t have the time to try to convince you, sorry."

Is he deceased? Did he pass away from Cancer or some other grave illness?

We don't know whether he is alive or dead, neither we want to know.

BTW, there's a new theory in the market about Wei Dai being Satoshi Nakamoto. Read below,

Nothing out of the box like any other Satoshi claims but you won't feel bored while reading!

This has been discussed over and over again here a thousand times over.  Now I must admit it is a very intriguing "mystery" of who created this breakthrough technology that no one else was able to do before "them".  I however am glad that we don't know who satoshi is.  I personally think that all along satoshi knew that he would leave bitcoin for good early on in the process.  I feel that he knew that for bitcoin to be truly decentralized it needed to be free of an central figure.  By leaving, and never touching his coin wallet ( that we know of ) he's done just that.  Now there are several figures that I feel have the scope to be satoshi... Nick Szabo would be my guess first and foremost.  The guy is a genius who created bitgold and smartcontracts.  I also feel that Hal Finney might either have been satoshi or part of satoshi.

From my perspective, the person behind that pseudonym is alive and he choose to hide his identity to secure his family against harm from people who are opposing bitcoin. He just wanted to protect their safety, he's probably observing how people react and share thoughts with regards to his invention that changes the lives of many of us. In spite of his anonymity, i'm still grateful because I was able to grab great opportunities.

Everyone knows Craig is Satoshi.

All bitcointalk members know Craig is an identity thief and extreme liar. Don't believe in him, he misleads you. Satoshi would never do such a thing as Craig did. He is a supporter of anonymity, so surely his identity won't be revealed to the public.

Not my theory, but another conspiracy has popped out recently.

He passed away in 2014 due to illness. Please no more threads on this topic. Let the man rest in peace.

There is nothing much about Satoshi to build a theory all you hear are speculations and nothing else .

Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on Satoshi Nakamoto.

An intelligent group or individual who created a billion dollars market which could be well above a trillion dollars in the next ten years.

If he's not with us today, I'm sure he'd be appalled with the amount of money being printed by governments/central banks.

Printing money is not a new thing, it is a process that is going on for centuries and that is not going to end for centuries.

"If you don’t believe it or don’t get it, I don’t have the time to try to convince you, sorry."

May be an alien who created a billion dollar market and a reality check how you evaluation money and set sail in space .

[Mttewndew]

Theories must be based on at least some facts. They need a foundation. It is unlikely that we have anything here except speculation.

But we can freely speculate on this topic. I think that he is now reaping the rewards of his brainchild and living a good life.

[mohdk52]

He's probably alive, or at least I'd like to hope so.

No concrete evidence that really is and its hard to believe on certain proclamation by someone since even up till now no one can prove that they are really the real satoshi base on their claims and I will be convince here if he can message here by using the satoshi account and can able to make a movements on btc or provide a sign message for the wallet he use upon creation of bitcoins.

I also sometimes think that he passed away since he's identity still a big mystery eventhough his creation is so successful for the past years.

He's still alive, and I am sure about that. But we don't know where is he now, and I think we should let him choose what he wants because we cannot do anything to make him show himself. But theory will be theory, we cannot prove it, and sometimes, we should not think much about that. Meanwhile, we can continue to use what he introduced to us, and we should thank you to him that allows us to use bitcoin.

I think if Satoshi  is not a covid19 victims and not one of those thousands of deaths then he is still Alive. Anyway our comments here is just an speculation and not a theory since it has no basis. Theories are base on some facts that can be a proof of evidence regarding his personality.

He's probably chilling on his own private island where there's no shadow of COVID-19.. Or even if he was to live in some urban area, he surely is protecting himself from it.

Unless he'd ever come back and prove he's the real one, all will be speculation only.

[wxxyrqa]

There are many versions of what happened to Satoshi Nakamoto on the net and whether such a person really existed.  But anyway, these are just conversations or assumptions of certain people.  Just recently, I also read a specific story from a person who is the leading Bit Pay programmer Jeff Girzick.  He convinced people that he personally constantly talked with satoshi nakamoto on the bitcointalk forum until 2011, after which the connection was lost and he was convinced that satoshi nakamoto died back in 2013 from an infectious disease. Moreover, this person was convinced that Satoshi Nakamoto was none other than Dave Kleiman from Florida, who was disabled and since he was partially paralyzed, he constantly studied and worked on programming. Nevertheless, I believe that even this version does not have definite evidence.

I'm guessing that,unfortunately,he is not alive.
Think about it,he has 1M Bitcoins sitting in his wallet that are untouched for so many years.
Every other guy would probably sell a portion of those BTC and buy something.
I don't believe that Satoshi is so disgusted by his own creation,that he refuses to sell his BTC for fiat.
All theories regarding Satoshi Nakamoto are conspiracy theories.A conspiracy theory involves more imagination and guessing,rather than logic and facts.

[CryptoPressAssociation]

Deceased.

Do you know anyone who could have billions in bitcoin and never touch it?

Neither do I, and sometimes the admiration (worship in some cases) causes people to forget Satoshi was still human.

[Wexnident]

I first read this and first thought of it as people wishing for him to be actually dead lmao. No offense though. Still, I doubt he'd be actually dead or something. People who could develop stuff like BTC aren't really into it for the fame, they just want to research on stuff and progress. And well, with how these stage of his project has already reached, I suppose he's lying low as a developer or probably researching more stuff out there. Just imagine, he pretty much has no problem with wealth already. There'd only be things he would probably do, which is either continue researching(whether it be blockchain or something else) or just calm down and live the life slowly somewhere. I'm more biased towards the former though.

[Chris Barth]

It's quite difficult to reject fame, otherwise I'd say he's alive. I don't think he is dead otherwise I'd say he's dead. So, my head is stuck with this mixed thoughts about him. But maybe, he's alive out there, somewhere he isn't called or known as Satoshi. I just really hope that he's seeing what greatness his idea and effort has yield.

[LogitechMouse]

This is just my theory right now and I just think of it as I am posting this.

Probably Satoshi right now is everywhere. Satoshi can be your neighbor or Satoshi can be a politician or maybe Satoshi is one of the agents of CIA already. Satoshi is just there and isn't dead at this time. I believe that satoshi right now is happy that the invention he/she/they made which is Bitcoin is gaining popularity already around the world.

That is Satoshi's main goal, for Bitcoin to be used by the people worldwide aside from using it as a way of transaction where banks aren't needed when we do it.
