Nobel prize for Satoshi.

[CryptSafe]

I was scouting through internet and i came across this very interesting post on if Satoshi deserve a Nobel prize.
Infact many forums had discussed it
Infact a professor  Bhagwan Chowdhry at the University of California in the United States presented the proposal of Nobel prize for Satoshi stating that technology presented by Satoshi is the most significant development of the 21st Century and will have immense implications in the way finance will be conducted in the future

Personally i believe that Satoshi do deserve nobel prize for his work.
Especially after recent Ukraine crisis when we saw how donations could pour in in bitcoin. We saw how bitcoin can help people in events of war when banks were either closed or had frozen accounts.. People were homeless and short of money. We saw how bitcoin helped war affected people to overcome financial barriers and this showed the true potential of bitcoin and how it can support financial support and financial inclusion of poor and needy.

I believe for such a great contribution to science and humanity Satoshi do deserve a price, even when he is anonymous.

I request members to express their opinion as well.

Bitcoin l must say should be amongst one of the greatest achievements in the world do far. This award and recognition should have come long ago before now but I believe it was as a result of the counter argument and disagreement over the bitcoin policy that resulted to Satoshi not being recognized for his prestigious development. Now if I may ask even if he has been drafted to be given the award, do you think he would come out to showing himself to the world to accepting the honor? Do you not think it might be a bait to get at him?  If truly they had seen the effect and impart of his innovation was it today he invented it to have been recognized?  Award or no award, honour or no honour Satoshi has done more than what the award meant to the world.

The problem here is to whom we can give the award or the Nobel prize ? No one knows who is satoshi and this award cannot be given to any person who is not known.😔

These awards are given by the government and the situation here is that no government is in favor of cryptocurrencies and bitcoin. Therefore, I don't expect that government will ever give Nobel prize for creating bitcoin.

The first thing is that none of us know who Satoshi is, whether he is a boy or a girl or an organization or a single person. so who will get the Nobel Prize.
You don't need a Nobel Prize for your good work to be recognized if you have done something good that will be published as good work.

Who is Saroshi this question have been asked a million times within the last one decade ago when bitcoin was developed and launched. So who will award the of merit be titled to, is it the multiple fake Satoshi that have parades themselves claiming to be the real Satoshi. Or the award will go to a public ledger in form of blockcain based award that could be added to the Bitcoin network and verifiable on the blockchain using.the award txd harsh,  just kidding any ways but going by the privacy and identity battle of Satoshi the award is irrelevant for any one of us and Satoshi in a whole.

Maybe it is the first time that a winner will be given to a person who only uses a pseudonym and remains anonymous. But is the Nobel award still prestigious these days? Maybe the other categories like science? I think the Nobel is now influenced by politics. Sweden a neutral in the previous 2 world wards is joining NATO. Not saying it is a bad decision for them.

Anyways, I think the real Satoshi Nakamoto is already dead. Hopefully, I am wrong and the person is living a good life and will remain anonymous forever or at least for a hundred years.

I think it was Hal Finney as well, and unfortunately he passed away and unless he left any proof that he was Satoshi, we can't ever know about it and it's gone, he probably ordered his items to be destroyed properly and that means we will never learn who he was. On the other hand what kind of Nobel could he win?

There are two possibilities, either economics or peace one and I am not entirely sure they would give him the peace one, he didn't do anything to bring peace to anywhere, well to be fair Obama didn't neither, he ordered killings of so many people and yet they still gave it to him, but at the very least Satoshi doesn't get it. Economy in that case? But are we sure if this was a Nobel type of invention? Or was it more like a product type of invention? That's he question we need to figure out.

Only such way that I will sell that satoshi deserve and Nobel prize it is a situation where am I the technology he brought to the world is now one to replace the Fiat currency so it deserve underworld because of each methodology of thinking and the ability to know that cryptocurrency especially bitcoin profitable generally to the world

Satoshi deserve Nobel Prize, even after a decade no one is able to find the identity. Even if the organisers and jury take this into consideration the prize won't be received by the respective person. Each and every member of the forum will have the same thought and wish he gets Nobel Prize.

For now we can't do anything more to get him Nobel Prize. For now we can add a Nobel Prize badge to his Bitcointalk account through which he made his discussions. Maybe in future if the identity gets revealed, community can work for the real Nobel Prize.

What if no one comes to accept the award? I actually don’t really want to know who he is in my lifetime? I hope he lives in our imagination, in which he can take countless forms. The energy is endless.

Never thought about it but yes, the real Satoshi would definitely deserve a Nobel prize.
However, just imagine they issue the prize to Satoshi and who shows up? Fake-Toshi Graig Wright. *pukes*

Besides that, the current committee issuing the Nobel prize is questionable at best. The prize has big popularity / publicity, but it is far from politically independant or innovative.

Will there be a lot of Satoshi Nakamoto...
Bitcoin is worth it. He brought so much convenience to people. As long as you can remember your password. Your money will always be there, and you won't have to worry about your country's currency devaluing or becoming useless due to war consumption. Bitcoin can give people hope.

The guy is a genius. Pretty sure everything that may connect or provide hints were destroyed. There would be no evidence left behind as he understands well that bitcoin being decentralized will fare better when its founder remains unknown.

Nobel is missing something in their awards, technology. Peace is really impossible. It will fall into the economy category, although even at the current stage, bitcoin is not yet at the level wherein it influences certain nations' economies. If El Salvador somehow continues to buy at dips and then one day a single bitcoin reaches a million dollars in price, the bitcoin founder will qualify for the Nobel nominations. Anyways, posthumous is not possible for the Nobel.

Indeed, Nobel does miss a lot of categories. And more importantly, they are not a truely independant prize-award.
What I am looking forward more than any prizes is the time, when the Bitcoin whitepaper will make it into economics schoolbooks all around the globe. My guess is this will happen in around 5 -10 years.

I think it is possible, and I am very supportive of it being included in textbooks, and at least some graduate courses in universities can include white papers.
Satoshi Nakamoto should not have appeared at this stage, I am worried that he is in danger.

I don't know, we even don't know who Satoshi in the first place so how can we award him the Nobel prize?
