How do we know if Satoshi is still alive?

[CrackedLogic]

Well, how do we know if he is still alive, what if he passed away when we all thought he dropped out of bitcoin.


Unless, Dorian is actually him

I am fine. Don't worry about it

I am fine. Don't worry about it

Sorry - it will be announced in a few more days that he was on MH370.  RIP

I have  been working closely with his family and we have been able to recover most keys

What if satoshi Is still a member of this forum but is using another account!

Shhhh.  I'm trying to keep a low profile here.

Open Source = Original creator doesn't matter

The better question is, "Why should we care if Satoshi is still alive?"

Isaac Newton is long dead, but his ideas live on, through us...

Satoshi gave a tremendous gift to the world, and in doing so has immortalized herself/themselves/himself.

Most people care because of the BTC1M he/she/they supposedly has in his/her/their possession.

What they do not know is that Satoshi gave them true freedom, not just monetary freedom.

Heard of the RFID chips?  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuinaIm-kd4
Well, that plan gone to waste now all because of Satoshi.

When Isaac Newton died, gravity stopped working.

That is why we have general relativity now.

Hahah, good one.

It's easy to tell he is alive.  He was just on TV the other day.  People thought he was dead but he was just really sick.  Unfortunately, his mom sold all his computer stuff when he was in the hospital.  It was either the computers or the toy trains, she couldn't afford to take care of both.  So all his bitcoins are as good as dead.  But he is fine, for now.

Yes, but everyone knows exactly who Isaac Newton is/was.  He's Googleable!

Had "Isaac Newton" been an unknown person or group who suddenly popped onto the science scene, dropped Newtonian mechanics and universal gravitation and then promptly disappeared, maybe then you could draw comparisons.

It's inconceivable for most people that such an incredible, disruptive creation as Bitcoin can go unclaimed.  Throw in the 1 million BTC fortune supposedly sitting dormant and it begins to look slightly sinister.

Bitcoin is open source, of course, so we shouldn't care, but we're human, so we do.

Oh... to soon.

Well, if he isn't dead, he will be sometime. We all die.

The important point for all of us is the next life. The important thing in this life regarding Satoshi is that we take his example and run with it.

Every average person can innovate more than he does when he sits on the couch and watches football all day. The example that Satoshi left us is not simple innovation, simple inventing a new method of turning on the couch to see the tube better. His big example is that he made an innovation innovation. He innovated innovation. He taught us all how to think about improving thinking. And he opened it up in such a way that we can ALL use it.

Most of us, at least those of us who are middle-aged or older, have been set in a thinking rut by schools, our jobs, and years and years of "practice" at remaining in the rut. Satoshi showed us a way to actually, practically, pick ourselves up out of the rut. We may not be the genius that he was, and probably not in the way that he was, but we are ALL unique, virtually genius in some little way known only to ourselves. Lets get out and innovate like Satoshi innovated.

The bad thing about innovating like Satoshi is that, we won't have time for meaningful talk in Bitcointalk, and the whole forum will become boring.

Correct me if I'm wrong but i believe he made a post on some p2p website stating "I am not dorian nakamoto" a few weeks ago.

ask NSA, they know everything
but I am sure, he is swimming in the pool full with money.

It wasn't him/her/them.

Someone hacked his/hers/their account.
That is for certain because he/she/they didn't sign the message.
