How do you feel if satoshi back

[Imran232]

I just saw this on my news feed. Though I know it's been edited. But we all know that satoshi is a feeling and emotion for us. And if he comes back, it will be a great feeling, but on the other hand, it is also scary. Because people say if he comes back and starts to sell his holdings, the bitcoin price will be dumped brutally. That is why I am scared too.

What would be your feelings if this happened?

I am sure satoshi did not back on April Fool and if there is no link to that topic, it's more obviously that it is an April Fool Joke.

No offense but what a bad edit.  It hurts my eyes to see this.  Even the writing style, it is so bad they clearly did not even try to make it look a tad more real.

Now back to your concerns.  Why are you concerned about Satoshi coming back and dumping his holdings?  I look at it from a different angle.  There are supposedly at least one million Bitcoins in Satoshi's bag.  That is around five percent of Bitcoin's total supply in the hands of one single individual.  Should he sell his holdings, they would become more distributed.  That is one problem gone.

And then.  Why do we care so much about Satoshi returning and selling his holdings?  At this point, it is clear we do not really need Satoshi anymore to grow Bitcoin up.  He left us a legacy developers have so far been able to carefully and successfully take care of.  Bitcoin is up and running.  Bitcoin has grown up more than Satoshi probably wished for it to.  He does not have influence over Bitcoin any more.  So there is no point in getting concerned as we speak.  We have bigger threats to Bitcoin we should be concerned about right now such as governments hating it.  Satoshi has no more power other than words and maybe the short to medium term influence of his holdings, a supposedly million Bitcoins.

Literally in OP's text from the tenth word on.  'I know it's been edited'.

Let's just stop thinking or assuming with these what-ifs and reactions of us if ever he's back. Let's save those reactions if ever he's literally back for real.

And the first community to know of his return is this forum as he's the foundation of bitcointalk. But going with the reality, let's settle and don't think about it anymore.

Not an April Fools joke released a day before April Fools is just...well, it's maybe too much on the nose, if you know what I mean XD That being said, Satoshi as a figure of BTC returning, I don't think it would benefit BTC at all. I think the initial appeal of secrecy of who created BTC still, to some degree holds up today and works for BTC. But also, even if Satoshi came out, I can't see him dumping everything just now, it wouldn't make any sense.

If he reappears, I will be very disappointed, since the decentralization characteristic will become inaccurate if he decides to interfere with the protocol that he created from the start. Even if this seems impossible at first glance, his ownership of more than 5 percent of the total volume of the currency can influence the price once he decides to sell part or all of it. I understand that this may seem like an opportunity for some to acquire more Bitcoin at a low price but do not forget that this will open the way for the rise of other currencies that will be mostly centralized .

This is the original satoshi's post that was (poorly) edited:


https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2228.msg29479#msg29479

The screenshot was taken some time ago (judging by the number of merits on Satoshi's account) but at first glance it was obvious that it was a fake.

As I’ve seen the font of the screenshot’s timestamp, I knew it. Saw that on Twitter several hours ago. Badly edited indeed. But we would all be freaked out if this was a real post by the GOAT of crypto himself.

No hard feelings, but given the time you spent on the forum, you should understand some things a little better. Why would Satoshi appear in public first, and only then sell the Bitcoin he allegedly owns, if he can do so at any time without causing panic in the market?

Furthermore, Satoshi is just one man who chose to disappear for the reason that he did not want Bitcoin to be in his shadow, so you and everyone else should be glad that he did so. And finally why people can’t figure out that Satoshi did his part of the job and now it’s all up to the rest of us.

Satoshi won't come back after all this time. He is not an attention-seeker and the last thing he would want is to become the center of a media frenzy. He disappeared when Bitcoin got the attention of the US government and their 3-letter agencies, and he has successfully managed to keep his identity a secret ever since. If he wanted to propose changes to Bitcoin, he could submit BIPs just like every other person in the world.

I'd be nervous as heck because almost whatever Satoshi says if ever he/she/they come/s back can be used in a negative light by mainstream media.

In the end, Satoshi shouldn't and wouldn't come back, which is good.

[Wexnident]

That is one bad edit if it was used for April Fools well, I don't think it could even pass off as one tbf. I won't exactly feel anything really. The media would probably use everything satoshi would say for their own good, no doubt about that. I myself won't really care tbf, the market might shake early on (if he ever did sell the BTC he's holding) or heck, maybe even if he started doing market/trading stuff (which I doubt, he'd probably go off to develop more tbf), but hey I look at it in the long term. At the very least, I don't think him coming back would do anything "permanent" to the current state.

After all this time, Satoshi is unlikely to return. To Satoshi, the Internet and a free society, was all he had ever wanted. In his absence, the Bitcoin world has developed as his wishes and expectations. The adoption of Bitcoin has grown exponentially with many start-up projects and Bitcoin related businesses emerging in many countries. There are many new entrepreneurs in this space and Bitcoin has even penetrated the mainstream media.

Satoshi will be proud of the community that has grown up around his creation.

Pretty much this. If he came back, any word written or spoken by him would be misinterpreted by hundreds of journalists.
If he'd say his hobby is reading Harry Potter, they'd say he must be childish, probably addicted to computer games, living in a fantasy world, and must be transphobic because Rowling is transphobic, so the bitcoin community was established by a childish, transphobic, man who likes magic... It's better for Satoshi and for us if things stay as they are. I wouldn't want to be a celebrity in today's world.

[ivankoh]

No need to worry too much.  Because it was obviously a rudimentary work for April Fools' Day. Even when I was slightly surprised, I rushed to check his profile on bitcointalk.  And of course, nothing happened.  Either way, he understands that “absence” is better for bitcoin.

[andeluna]

Why he needs to be back in bitcoin if he was the founder of it ? He already did what he wants and its all happening right now that the bitcoin or crypto currency that he made is one of the most valuable and high value crypto currency in the market thats why I don't really think that he will going back to bitcoin for what ? hahahaha!

[adzino]

I wonder how many dumb people would fall for this joke. Satoshi doesn't sound like a person that would say "I am back to bitcoin". Very badly edited and written. At least they should have given some effort if they really wanted to fool people. And yeah sure, saying "not an April fool joke" would make everyone believe that.
But if he does return, that would feel weird. People would start worshipping/following him as a leader while others would be annoyed.

Maybe you should read the whole post before posting.

[DOH!]

I feel he will have no reason to show up again.  Bitcoin is in the perfect position the way he created it by allowing freedom since the initiative fills everything.  Bitcoin is representing a maximalist, liberal philosophy that means his presence is probably unnecessary.  I think he understood this because that was his intention when he left.  So I will also be disappointed when he actually shows up again.  Anyway, everything is clear

If he really wants to come back, he should have done it years ago but as we could see, it's his personal choice to keep his life in private. As for me, since he has done his part in creating a great currency, he wouldn't show up for no reason. However, if such a thing happens, lots of people will thank him for his masterpiece since it changed lots of lives.

I understand that this is a screenshot of an edited post. But give me an answer, if you type Satoshi in Google, why does this guy's picture show? What is the science behind this ? We know that Satoshi Nakamoto is a disguised man .
