Nobel prize for Satoshi.

[Blawpaw]

Of course Satoshi should not be awarded with a Nobel Prize. Apart from creating one of the most important developments of the XXI century, Satoshi presented a gift to the world. Now, for those behind the Nobel Prize Mafia, it wouldnt make any sense as they only award the worse prople ever. Besides, why should we care if Satosi gets awarded on not? The Nobel Prize award is nothing but the get together of all the personalities that broght harm to the world.

Depends on where it comes from. Expecting the "system" to give Nobel prize to Satoshi is like expecting rats to give awards to inventors of rat poison. They will think it will legitimize Satoshi idea/ideals which the system considers as dangerous. If it ever happens, it will likely be given to Fakesatoshis. Fakesatoshis = those whose Bitcoin/crypto ideals run contrary to real Satoshi's ideals

Im not shure if the nobel price comitee is really part of the establishment and would not consider giving a nobel price to satoshi. But for now the success of satoshi is not in inventing cryptography but only in giving the first ever example of a long term working cryptography coin. So I guess thats not enough for now.

Satoshi is deserving of every humanitarian honor and award there is. But the problem is that anyone who identifies themselves as Satoshi exposes themselves to being tracked and watched by the entire globe. And for Satoshi to consider doing so would be foolish. Wherever he is, he will be pleased with how far what he invented (bitcoin) has come in resolving nations and people's emergencies.

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.

If think satoshi deserves that prize too, his contribution to society was enormous, he made from the world a better place with Bitcoin and he give freedom to the economy, And made it in a fair way for all with his decentralized project. But looks like the Novel Prizes has problems giving the prize to someone that still anonymous, maybe they are waiting to find out who satoshi is before giving the prize.

let us just be grateful of this invention. i don't think he will come out just because of this possible award. sure, he can be a part of history books, but i don't think he will aim for such recognition and risk his anonymity just to get the award. we are very fortunate to live in this generation knowing this technology. there's no need for the nobel prize just to know that we are thankful to this creation. just be a part of its continuing existence is more than enough.

Can you describe in what way satoshi did an enormous contribution to society? Because I believe, the days of bitcoin are not yet there but the contribution will be enormous if governments stat to push for cashless banking systems.

His invention has a great potential to end the era of money created out of thin air and its value reduced constantly due to political decisions.
His invention has a great potential to move the banks out of their comfort zone, rethinking their services to be cheaper and better for people.
His invention has a great potential to get a good use to some of the resources that used to be wasted (and although it's not discussed much, that waste does/did contribute to green house effect).
And, let's not discuss only about money: his invention has a great potential to help you know where your clothes (or, more important, your medicines) were produced.

You do not have to give it to someone directly, it could be either post mortem which means they are dead, so you can't give it to them directly, or you could give it to someone imaginary as well, after all "someone" created it, so we know there is a human behind it all (I guess? ) but that means you just won't give it to someone physically, that's it.

I personally believe he should get it, he deserves it, can you name a single person in any economic or many other areas that changed the world as much as Satoshi did? This dude created something that peaked at over 2+ trillion marketcap together, nobody in the world created something that huge and won Nobel before.

[Ebede]

I've not come across on this topic lifetime of food before but I believe that what you mean in this aspect it's making sense but the problem is that I don't think that satoshi deserve a price because I don't know the kind of price you are interested on whatever we get any digital currency it is the same thing as associate it only the initiator of cryptocurrency from my understanding

[mendace]

It is not within the purview of the Nobel Prize committee to award the prize to individuals who are anonymous, as the Nobel Prize is a public recognition and the recipient must be publicly identified. Furthermore, the Nobel Prize is typically awarded for achievements in the fields of chemistry, physics, literature, peace, and physiology or medicine, not for contributions to the field of computer science or finance. While the invention of Bitcoin has certainly had a significant impact on the world, it is unlikely that Satoshi Nakamoto would be considered for a Nobel Prize.

Satoshi deserve any award for creating Bitcoin and they generally many people adopt that solution to collect all the coins that is working with bitcoin today but the problem is that since satoshi created this nobody has seen it or know who is satoshi even many people who is the following today and controlling forum have not seen satoshi before so they are what is something that he deserve what you cannot to give to him is like a bitcoin you can see it but you cannot have it or touch it with your mum

Is there a prize for keeping this forum without UI updates? Because that prize is mine and not theymos'. Stop bothering him with that topic.

Bitcoin has always been a cooperative group work with many people contributions crucial, specially in those early days. You should seek for them, ask them about FULL-RBF, and first seen rule. Hear those early addresses holders for advise.

12 years gone fast.

I'm not a threat for Bitcoin. FULL-RBF is.

The Nobel price is awarded to six fields; physics, chemistry, physiology, medicine, literature, and peace. I don't think bitcoin falls under any of these fields (I stand to be corrected).
That aside, Satoshi stayed anonymous for reasons like this. He probably doesn't want the implications that comes with it.
A criteria for the Nobel price is that the person receiving has to be alive. So since nobody knows the identity or identities of Satoshi how do we even know if he/they are still alive?

I don't also believe bitcoin is the most significant development in the 21st century. There are inventions like the mobile operating system. I also think blockchain is a more significant invention than bitcoin. If a Nobel prize is to be given it should be for blockchain and but then again, the idea of blockchain have always been present since 1982 first introduced by David Chaum. The first decentralized blockchain was created and used by Satoshi Nakamoto (who can be one person or a group of people) and that is what I believe deserves a Nobel prize ahead of bitcoin because an invention has to be acceptable by scientist as been able to pass the test of time. Sadly bitcoin has not done this but blockchain has.

I don't know, we even don't know who Satoshi in the first place so how can we award him the Nobel prize? Is he just a single individual or group of person who created Bitcoin?

I guess it will be better if we leave it that way, we don't need to attract more attention. It has accomplished what it needs to be done in the last 10 years and it continue to grow. For sure Satoshi might not in favor of this one as he really doesn't want to be in the limelight.

Only when Satoshi Nakamoto announces his real identity can he be eligible for the award.

Professor Bhagwan Chowdhry proposed the idea that the bonus can be converted into bitcoins and sent to Satoshi Nakamoto's bitcoin address, but the Nobel Foundation disagreed. In other words, Satoshi Nakamoto must show up.

In terms of theoretical contributions and practical influence, Satoshi Nakamoto is qualified to win the Nobel Prize. This is also the spirit of Nobel: to reward those who have made great contributions to mankind!

Satoshi Nakamoto had a deep understanding of finance. Influenced by the Austrian school of economics. Philosophically inclined to natural evolution, like a free life. He is the founder of cryptoeconomics.

A person who wants to change the world doesn't care about the Nobel Prize. In a world with such advanced technology, it is strange not to know who Satoshi Nakamoto is.

[goldkingcoiner]

I think you guys mean the Turing Award, not the Nobel Prize? Because there is no Nobel Prize for computer science. It does not exist. The Turing Award is however the "Computer science Nobel Prize" or is at least regarded as highly. If you were to ask me, I would say Satoshi Nakamoto, whoever and wherever he might be, we applaud him for his amazing achievement!   Because computer science is indeed a science. A branch of experimental mathematics, like physics but more meta, you could say. It does not get the respect it deserves due to being a new science.

[digaran]

If only he was alive, sadly they killed him and took over.🤔

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

We don't think the nobel prize or anything more relevant goes to Satoshi Nakamoto, the great work he created has no comparable prize to give. Likewise with his personality, we never know whether Satoshi Nakomoto created Bitcoin alone or with his small group. One thing that I always think about right now, we need another Satoshi Nakamoto who can deliver the same masterpiece, so that humans have the option to get out of the investment system which is centralized and fully controlled by the government.

The greatest gift that we have to give him is simply to keep bitcoin to continue to grow and develop, even though the two decades that have been passed by bitcoin, have achieved extraordinary levels of success, both for promising assets and the best investments ever.

Speaking of satoshi - today it's been exactly 12 years since he was last active on this forum.
