People claiming themself satoshi

[Cling18]

There's nothing to claim, Satoshi can prove by signing a message, or moving his coins.

And that's what those claimers can't do.

A simple way to prove that they're satoshi.

But, they can't provide any signed message to prove that they're the owner of those bitcoins that satoshi has left, the real satoshi.

No one could provide any proof and evidence that they're the real Satoshi so no matter what they do, they couldn't support their claims. It's Satoshi's personal choice to keep his identity private so I wonder why these people are trying to pretend and steal his identity. He has chosen peace over anything else so he wouldn't show up instantly for no reason just like what fake Satoshis are doing.

To be honest, I do not see the point of those people who claim that they are "satoshi" or anyone whatsoever. Aren't they just endangering and compromising their safety with such declaration? Are they just purely doing this for pride and for recognition around the world without even thinking the possible outcomes in the event that people do believe that you are satoshi?

Anyway, what you guys mentioned is the most easiest way of proving that you are indeed satoshi. If you can move the BTCs stored in his wallet address and personally sign a message, then you would be able to prove that you are indeed the almighty satoshi!

All those who try to falsely proof that they are satoshi, shouldn't we put them in the scammer list. Those people are scammers who speak false.
If they can falsely claim to be satoshi, they can also do many scams by giving false statements.

A few days ago I read Elon Musk's tweet about Satoshi.
https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1501449525831081987?s=20&t=6ANNlLbrSRB4IYoSWzA2xg. I still don't really understand what that's meant.

In addition, I also read the news in the local media if McAfee actually also knows who Satoshi is. McAfee analyzes from the habits about writing and the language of whitepapers created. Unfortunately, there is no valid evidence regarding McAfee's statement. I still can't believe that. I think let Satoshi be an unknown person, just the technology that continues to evolve provides benefits for all of us.

FYI McAfee  passed on last year. so that is very old news

I think they're doing it mostly because of the fame and fortune. With a huge stash of Bitcoins from Satoshi's early Bitcoin addresses, anyone can try to impersonate him with the intent of gaining mainstream recognition. Even Craig Wright tried to make people believe he is Satoshi by "faking" his ownership of Satoshi's early Bitcoin keys. People should just move on and focus on what matters most. It's not about Satoshi but rather the community as a whole. As long as Bitcoin works as intended, nothing else matters.

So far, the project's been doing good without Satoshi thanks to its decentralized and open source design. Who knows what the future holds for Bitcoin and crypto in general? Just my thoughts

Satoshi Nakamoto is actually alive or dead, many say he is dead. Now it is seen that many people are claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto. I visited his bitcointalk account profile and saw Last Active: December 13, 2010, 10:45:41 PM Satoshi Nakamoto, Now the thing is that those who are claiming can claim themselves as satoshi by posting from this account? And even if he can do it, why not do it if he is still alive ?

[worle1bm]

There are many who have claimed to be Satoshi but none of them have proved themselves right owner of the funds and you know why most of them are doing this thing because they want fame only or to scam people through these schemes.They know they can't have access yo to the funds so some have gained popularity like CSW but he will soon be out of this game.We can't unfold this mystery so it's better to leave it.

[19Nov16]

There are some people who have claimed themselves as satoshi nakamoto. Craig is one of them. I'm sure all of them are fraud. Just trying to get into the focus, they are nothing but attention seeker. Anyway, can someone give me a complete list of people who have claimed them as satoshi nakamoto?

There is a lot of news stating that someone claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, and I'm sure everything is a lie, I better believe that Mr. Satoshi is dead because there has been news that wants to track about Mr. Satoshi, let's don't waste time thinking about who Satoshi, but we deserve to thank because the idea makes everything easier.

Thank you very much for sharing that tweet, well I don't know if Elon Musk knows who the inventor of BTC is, but the way he put it, and how he places it, it seems that he wants to show that Satoshi is a person who is in the world elite and If so, the one who is closest to genius is himself, although I really don't think it's him, but he places it as if to reflect or just to make another of his controversial tweets, it is not known if it is to want to enter again to BTC or Doge, do a pump!?

We don't know he's alive or dead but he chose to stay silent so anyone claiming to be Satoshi is a liar. People who claim to be bitcoin creators just because they want people to notice, they can't access any assets left by real satoshi.

This is the simplest way to prove someone is Satoshi, but I think no one will do that because all of them are not real Satoshi.

Still, there is no any confirmation that Satoshi Nakamoto will either alive or dead by now because no one knows who really Satoshi Nakamoto is. I mean there's a lot who self-proclaimed that they are Satoshi but none of them provide a convincing proof. I still wanted to know the real Satoshi, I wanted to see his face, I wanted to hear how he talk and personally hear from him how he made bitcoin, what makes him decided to invented this digital crypto because this is so far the greatest financial revolution..

All of us wants to see if what is satoshi's real face only because we are curious because the guy haven't appeared for such a long time after he created btc but for the way he talk? you can imagine how genius people talk. Words that will come to his mouth can be pretty advanced that you won't understand most of it.

It's also obvious on why he created bitcoin. He might be an anti bank/fiat or anti centralization/government. It was a good run at the start because btc is fully anonymous and decentralized but later on it isn't anymore. I think when satoshi found this out, he will feel a little disappointed. We are still proud of him because btc is too useful and help many lives.

I admit that in the past, I also wanted to see what's the real face behind the name Satoshi Nakamoto or if it's a he or she but later on, I understand why SN have chose to disappear all of the sudden leaving all those bitcoin in his wallet untouched for 2 decades now.

Honestly, let's just stop thinking about that because he/she chose to be unidentified and stay anonymous about the famous cryptocurrency he created, so let's respect that. He/she already helped us big time and if he/she wanted some credits about bitcoin then I think he/she have already identified his/her name and other details.

It was a good run at the start because btc is fully anonymous and decentralized but later on it isn't anymore. I think when satoshi found this out, he will feel a little disappointed. We are still proud of him because btc is too useful and help many lives.

If he/she is still alive until now then there's no way that he/she cannot know about what's happening.

Im not really buying on what this guy do says or into his tweets on which you should really be careful whether you do believe him or not because of those past histories of manipulative acts then it cant

really be avoided that people would surely hesitate on what these people are claiming specially Elon and that Mcafee.We do have several claims on being satoshi but none of them do able to provide
solid proof in regarding into their claim which it is really hard to trust nor believe if anyone do tend to claim to be Satoshi which we do highly doubt that he would really be showing off himself
into the public considering about privacy and of course security.

I agree with you, but could it be that Satoshi was only 1 person or was it a group of people? that is a question that can make sense of everything, however there are many who proclaim themselves Satoshi, but it is not proven until they launch or write a signed message, meanwhile for me they will all be fakers, there are some who say that Satoshi was Steve Jobs, others say it may be Elon Musk, which is a lot of speculation, although I don't know to what extent Satoshi always remains anonymous, I think that gives BTC even more power.

I would not say I want to know his identity. In fact I think most veteran coiners would say the same. To find out Satoshis identity would be a bit disappointing. The part with anonymity is a part of what makes blockchain and Bitcoin so great. Unless you tie down your wallet addresses to your name and make a link, nobody knows who is who and how much coin they have.

Anonymity is a Bitcoiners priviledge and honor!

I don't know why people like to impersonate. All because to Scam their fellow human beings. When you enter the social media, huh!!! All most all the celebraties are impersonated by someone, with that you will not know the real owner of the account. Even though,  when the real celebrat notice such impersonation they did nothing to stop the person, so the Scammers always goes free.
Satoshi Nakamoto impersonators are more than  20 in the internet.

So, what do we do to eliminate this impersonation? Some Scammers even to the extent of creating fake Bitcoin, websites and apps to defraud people, claiming to be the real person.  If they claim to be the real Satoshi, they should provide the evidence of the creation of  the Currency. Where and the name of the Pentium system, the location, the lunch date and hour, who first used the it. Etc.

Scamming people would be most likely the main motive on why people do really tend to claim themselves as Satoshi without even realizing that the community isnt really that dumb nor that fool to believe into

something like this which we do have lots of impersonation or wannabees for them to be Satoshi but no one had really able to prove it out.I dont know on why they havent
been rethinking that this is something that would really be effective because everything does really need sufficient proof for people to believe.

It's only a rumor that Satoshi is not an individual but is a group of people. What we only have is his Wikipedia images of him and that's it.
There were many faketoshis already and I wouldn't even mention one that is "quite popular" here in the forum.
Elon Musk being Satoshi is never going to be true in my opinion though.
