If Satoshi Nakamoto is Revealed Today, How Much it will Cost to Read ?

[kryptqnick]

Suppose an investigative Journalist unmask the elusive Bitcoin inventor today - How much he will he charge to read the Feature Breaking News of Satishi Nakamoto ?  I can spend US $3.60 dollars or up to US$5 Dollars. If 1million people read and pay then the investigative Journalist definitely will make a good profits. But it depends how much he already spent to find Satoshi Nakamoto ?  Who knows ? May be it will be free to read. If Satoshi revealing news really comes up today, it will go viral but there arises a question ?  Why Satoshi Nakamoto just don't give 100 Bitcoin to that greedy journalist, who is so obsessed to reveal the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto ?  I think some prominent bitcoin  community leaders do not want Satoshi's identity to be revealed. If the real Satoshi finally decides to reveal his own identity then it is solely up to him. What is your opinion ?

I'd say it would be $0 because there's really no use in charging people for reading your article. It would only make people angry, and they'd just read the news on another website which would pay that journalist once for access and then reveal the key info on their platform. What would be a smart move instead is making it free and publicly available, but get money from the advertising for which companies would gladly pay due to heavy traffic.
Satoshi's identity might be known by some, but they don't reveal it to others. I think I would do the same thing because I feel morally obliged to respect the privacy of a person who gave so much privacy to us with his/her/their creation. And I don't think Satoshi would pay for the identity not to be revealed, I agree with hatshepsut93 on this one.

I will not pay a cent for scams like that and so does the majority of the users here, if there is a public investigation then i will go through the article but if it is a paid one it is certain that it is a scam and nothing else  .

If Satoshi revealing news really comes up today, it will go viral but there arises a question ?

There were many investigations in the past and hence it wont be a surprise anymore.

 Why Satoshi Nakamoto just don't give 100 Bitcoin to that greedy journalist, who is so obsessed to reveal the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto ?  I think some prominent bitcoin  community leaders do not want Satoshi's identity to be revealed.

Satoshi is not a fool to come out to pay someone to avoid any investigation as he is certain that he is secure with the way things are and no one has any clue about the identity as far as i know, even if the real Satoshi comes out it is difficult for him to prove his identity even if he signs a message from his initially known addresses.

[ene1980]

even if the real Satoshi comes out it is difficult for him to prove his identity even if he signs a message from his initially known addresses.

If someone comes out and then if he is able to sign a message from multiple known address then you need to accept him as the creator as it is difficult to assume that all of those addresses are stolen. There is no point for him to return now but i wont be surprised if the coins from the earlier wallets starts moving as he is holding over billions of dollars worth of bitcoin and other forks.

@OP i just do not care even if it is a free journal about the investigation .

[Pomogator]

I think this article will be free. It will be more calculated not for making money on this article, but on the hype that has arisen around this journalist for revealing such a secret. Reading will cost $ 0, but the journalist can still earn money for this hype around him. Of course, most likely his article will go to all the newspapers. This news will not be able to stay in one newspaper for 2 days. This information will travel at the speed of light.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. An investigative journalist working for a big publication would get a big promotion if he would be the first to publish something like this. Otherwise, if he is working as a private investigator he would surely get a lot of publicity and gig/job offers.

That's most likely what OP is trying to explain but my question is how much people are going to buy for it of they actually told the real story about finding the real Satoshi Nakamoto? Although, I don't believe such thing that one Satoshi will ever gonna himself/themselves since it's been a decade since he was gone and no one knows where his whereabout except for those people he who trusted the most.

Does paying for something/someone that hasn't been for a decade is worthy enough? I know some people would like to know who Satoshi was and I'm sure they'll gonna pay a good price for it just to find him but usual scammers might be joining in just to gain those fees/rewards. What would you do, OP about them?

[shield132]

No "If" before clarifying one thing: Was satoshi a person or a group of persons? And answer to this question means a lot, every detail can have a huge and different effect on a lot of things.
Maybe satoshi was just a fictional character? You know, it's common on storytelling. At some point, you write a wonderful story and reality goes well but on another hand, this story is artificial, still magical to captivate the people.

Also, if any website just says anything satoshi the way you think, believe me, this is such exclusive news that everyone will ignore the copyright thing and write an article from original source with images included, etc.

[BuNga_cute]

It has now been more than a decade since Bitcoin was created, and there is not the slightest hint of the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. Which means
Satoshi Nakamoto managed to cover his tracks well, so I won't pay money to journalists who will expose Satoshi Nakamoto's identity. Since I believe
that not a single journalist can reveal the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, so I won't waste my money on news that is possibly a scam. After all, I had
no interest in knowing who Satoshi Nakamoto was, the most important thing for me right now is Bitcoin, which clearly can provide benefits for me.

If Satoshi Nakamoto is revealed today, two things are likely to happen:
1. People will still raise disbelief that he is actually not Satoshi.
2. It won't add any value to Bitcoin. Rather, Satoshi will be haunted down by various governments and secret agents for allegedly disrupting the global financial system and giving banks a good run for their money..

[marcbitcoins]

The journalist will probably become famous and will be promoted with the possibility to become rich, still, I don't have any clue of how much pay per reading will cost as I am not familiar with news costing but the idea of finding Satoshi is difficult because I think Satoshi may not be just a single person. If Satoshi is a group of people, I would think that there is some sort of contractual commitment that prevents the members from revealing any information.

I have managed to contact the Journalist. I have asked him several questions.He has confirmed that he has found the 100% real Satoshi Nakamoto. He said, he joined the Bitcoin space in 2014 and left his work to beome a full time Bitcoin trader. He has traded a big volumes  of Bitcoin in the last 6 years. He is not working to publish the news regarding satoshi to make money from his investigation. My third question was how much he spent to find satoshi ?  He has answered, he and his twin brother who is a news broadcaster in the main stream media and other 6 people worked in his team to finally discover the trues Satoshi nakamoto. He has answered my 7th question, a total 470,000 Euro he has spent over the last 6 year  but he is not planning to charge any money to the reader to read his feature news report for breaking news of Satoshi Nakamoto. He said, Satoshi Nakamoto is one single man, who invented Bitcoin and Blochcain and few developers joined latter to improve his Bitcoin Core Network that he designed. He is not scared of Goverment as he has not committed any crime by inventing Bitcoin and Blockchain and by innovating the financial service industry. He said, governments secret service new about his Bitcoin development project since the beginning while he was designing the Blockchain.

Right... so this entire topic is just a diversionary way of pretending that you know satoshi's identity and you figure you'll stir up more interest if you make it sound more mysterious and act like there are other people involved.  There is no "journalist" in the accepted sense of the word, you're not in contact with anyone.  You are the discredited loser behind "Hoffman investigations" and you are weaving fictional tales.  Thanks for letting us all know you're full of shit.

Obviously the reason you were asking how much people would pay to read the article is because you wanted to check if anyone was stupid enough to give you money in order to see your lies.

[CryptocurencyKing]

Should his elusive anonymity be made public, I see a lot of chaos in the world of cryptocurrency. Firstly, I believe he would do all within his power not to make this revelation come to the light. He has been good at it thus far because, he certainly would have some colleagues or advisers during the whole research and development phase of the Bitcoin project and they have maintained his or her secrecy so far. So, taken another step to totally silent a journalist won't be off the table because, it's his or her legacy on the line but, let's say should all his or her attempts fail,

His going to have the government and crypto enthusiast to deal with. In terms of shot down by the government and matters ranging from partnership to finding a possible loophole by the lots of people that would want to get it easily. It's going to be so much that, he just can't handle. That's why he or she isn't even here, participating actively in forum discussions. Smart move.

[acroman08]

I wouldn't pay for anything. this story is too big for everyone who is curious about bitcoin and it will be almost impossible to keep the information private. people will talk, discussions will be made and I will be there listening to what they have to say/share/think about it. although I am not too keen about people hunting what his Identity is, I am still curious who he is. but I wouldn't pay a dime to read an article regarding him.

[pinggoki]

If there is any chance that Satoshi Nakamoto will reveal himself right now, then what's the point? It is just because he is the one who makes the bitcoin and developed it? It will be hard for people to find who the real Satoshi Nakamoto because many will just pretend and make use of the name in order just to have some income, until now there are so many people who are imitating and claiming that they are the real Satoshi Nakamoto.

[XavierLaurent]

I don't think revealing Satoshi's identity will lead to good things. Call it a gut feeling. Sure I'm curious, but I'd like Satoshi to stay elusive.

There aren't many. To my knowledge only Craig Wright is the clown who mislead people being an impostor. People who are looking for fame are no good. Do we need to find who is the real Satoshi Nakamoto? - Not at all. The code is there, the code is working and has been audited and used for over 10 years.

Bitcoin is a masterpiece of the Information Era.

If I found out satoshi, I would ask him to pay me just 100 bitcoins for not revealing his identity. Why would I do stupid thing of publishing it and asking people to pay for reading it.
If one person reads it, he will spread the news like wild fire and nobody will pay me to read it as they already knew who satoshi was.

[elmuchodingdong]

I hope he will never be discovered. If he remains unknown he will remain a legend forever. Plus he does not expose himself to a lot of danger. If I was him I would at some point try to find a way to sell my Bitcoin but I would make sure to remain as anonymous as possible.

[maxreish]

Look, if all those years he came here revealing himself with strong proofs that he is the real Satoshi, of cpurse everyone will be glad to read all his posts. The curiosity will always get the attention of the members. Although I strongly believe that could be impossible since we really do not know yet if Satoshi is a group of people or one person, but remaining as anonymous is perhaps is his decision that we have to respect.

Enough with the hopes, I mean he's enjoying his life at peace without complications.  As long as we recognized Satoshi as a Founder, that would be good.
