Bitcointalk history

[KarpovE4]

Greetings everyone, I want to learn more about the community and its history. All I know is that Satoshi Nakamoto started bitcointalk and disappeared.  What hapoened to his account?? Who controls the forum after his disappearance? Why would he trust someone else(unless...) to manage the forum? There isn't so much information on the subject on google.  After Satoshi Nakamoto exit to the unknown, many have claimed to be the original creator of bitcoin. I think the truth is hidden here

To discover the real identity of Satoshi Nakamoto is a seductive thought but I prefer to read about the history of this forum .

Satoshi is one of the early users of this forum and contributed more than that for the community to become this big. Don't think of it like he is the one who created the forum. But he created Bitcoin. Threads like these come out when BTC is having a bull run, I don't know why it matters whether this is the domain or not but this is the biggest Bitcoin community. There are a few other threads related to this inquiry like these

Bitcointalk's important historic changes
Bitcointalk history of hacks and vandalism.

So far no one has tried to summarize the history of this forum in story form, maybe it takes more than 10 pages.

I already know Nigerians at least 60% who are in this forum, they have a community there, they are all friendly and polite, why don't you join them to learn more about the Bitcointalk and Satoshi Forums.

As far as I know they here learn more about Bitcoin, the rules of the Bitcointalk Forum and those related to crypto, they rarely care about Satoshi's identity what else to reveal, they might know it's pointless to find out where Satoshi is, its a waste of time, better learn about the real Bitcoin.

What I want to say to the OP is: if your question is compiled, it might include the 1000th question that has been asked here, so here it goes, forget Satoshi learn what he left for the world, I mean Bitcoin and Bitcointalk, I think it's better for you and everyone.

Learn other things that can increase knowledge for the community here, for example: wallets, crypto, trading, and other things, maybe something top.

All I know is that Satoshi Nakamoto started bitcointalk and disappeared.

Satoshi didn't create Bitcointalk.org. He created a forum which was hosted on bitcoin.org. Here is a great thread on the history of the forum that was bumped a few days ago > [BCT FACT] Bitcointalk was originally on Bitcoin.org but ... drama.

It's only three pages long, and you should learn a few things after you read it.

Well, if you go through https://academy.bit2me.com/en/who-is-martti-malmi or this https://twitter.com/marttimalmi?t=BSbbLsdvx8tzCvMYw884RA&s=09 you would realize that Martti Malmi is Sirius and who is most likely this user https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=4. You can read up the rest content to acquit yourself with his story into the computing world and Bitcoin. Apart from being a handsome dude, Malmi has brains too; that's all I can add.

Well said. For all I know, discovering who Satoshi is or where he's at this time will even be to the detriment of the development of Bitcoin. We've gone past the level of caring where he is. We're more concerned now about adoption and continuity of Bitcoin mechanism and usage.

A Newbie with a negative trust can also have a valid point.

Satoshi did not communicate on the new forum (Bitcointalk.org) I think all his posts and inbox were transferred from the first forum (htp://www.bitcoin.org/smf/) archive to Bitcointalk. What Satoshi is, what he knows or do is none of out necessary.

All I know is that Satoshi Nakamoto started bitcointalk and disappeared.

Satoshi Nakamoto just handle the community that deliberates about bitcoin to theymos, which we usually called bitcointalk forum, so about bitcoin, it's very obvious that no one controls bitcoin, and it's the reason while it can't be manipulated in any angle or form.

What hapoened to his account??

Just click on this link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2228.msg29479#msg29479 you will see what happens to Satoshi Nakamoto account, in 2010 is when Satoshi stopped coming to the forum.

Who controls the forum after his disappearance?

Theymos currently.

Many bitcoin users have asked who really is satohi nakamoto. Because of it, they even found a Dorian "satoshi" Nakamoto but he denied that he is the founder and creator of bitcoin.
