my 20 questions to Satoshi Nakamoto!

[Zoomic]

When I knew about bitcoin I asked about the creator and a name was given me as Satoshi Nakamoto. When I researched about the name I was told it was a pseudonym and at the same time the Satoshi is anonymous. I did not bother myself more about his identity.

Coming to this forum and I saw Satoshi profile, that showed that Satoshi actually communicated here, I now have the feeling that Satoshi is in this forum.
Since there is no KYC and there is privacy allowed here. There is every chance that Satoshi is here.

Here is therefore my 20 questions to you Satoshi:

1. Why did you create a technology as big as blockchain and bitcoin and gave it out for free?

2. Why have you not withdrawn your coins including the genesis block and other btc in 20+ addresses?

3. Are you afraid that if you withdraw them, government can trace you through that means?

4. Did you lose the private keys or you were unable to backup all your folders then and as such lost your keys?

5. Are you seeing that bitcoin can make $1m in the future and decided to hold tight till then?

6. Wait! Are you still alive? Or you died of earthquake in the North?

7. Are you a man or a woman or a group of people?

8. Do you have any regrets in creating bitcoin. I asked because a scripture said that God regrettable creating man.

9. How about if you sell your coin for charity rather than allow it waste.

10. Is the way bitcoin going now, the way you planned it to be? Have the bitcoiners altered your initial plans and arrangements for bitcoin?

11. Do you something feel like to appear in the court one day and 100%  prove Craig Wright wrong?

12. You don't want to withdraw your bitcoin because if you do, there will be great panic that may collapse bitcoin.

13. OK! Your coins is serving as bitcoin reserve to prevent 51% attack?(No, this is not it...51% attack is about computing power and not about coins)

14. Why did you choose 21 million as the maximum amount of bitcoin to be in circulation? Why not 20 million that is a round figure and why not 50 million. Bitcoin would still be a scarce commodity if you made it 100 million.

15. Why is halving 4 years circle and not 2 years. Is it related to the world cup 4 years interval?

16. If FBI decides to uncover your identity, do you think it will be difficult for them?

17. Bitcoin is more than 10yrs you created it. How many more years do you have in mind that bitcoin will last when you created it. I do not believe that you had in mind of creating an everlasting currency when you are not a government.

18. When do you intend to re-appear as Satoshi Nakamoto?

19. Do you still contribute to the bitcoin network by maintaining the codes or you totally hands off bitcoin and started playing ruby in the streets of Alabama?

20. Do you have kids  did you teach them about bitcoin, are they into bitcoin now?

I am sorry if I have bothered you with so many questions because only you have better answer to most of this questions.

P.S Community, did Satoshi grant any interview before his disappearance. If yes, someone should please point me to it.

Satoshi is no longer with the community, in any event he is here with a different username than the 'satoshi' one, he is surely not going to come here and expose himself saying "hey i am Satoshi and here are the answers to your questions", your thread is just an opportunity for trolls and impostors to feed on. You can figure out some of the answers to your questions yourself, and the others are not important.

P.S Community, did Satoshi grant any interview before his disappearance. If yes, someone should please point me to it.

No interviews, no pictures, no nothing. Just the pseudonym Satoshi .

[Ndabagi01]

I like your curiosity, but you won't be able to get answers to all of your questions here because the person you want to answer them is no longer on the forum. Why do you care about so many of these questions, some of which are unnecessary?

P.S Community, did Satoshi grant any interview before his disappearance. If yes, someone should please point me to it.

@all

I haven’t seen any or heard of any either, but this is his last message here in the forum.

[Nwada001]

Just as Z-tight have said he might be here with a different name, just by observing and looking at how things are actually going around what he has created, if Satoshi is still alive, leaving this forum will never be an option. Some questions are better left unanswered because they might actually not have a satisfying answer. Even if Satoshi itself is here, answers to some questions will definitely not be given.
 
All you will just get is some random opinion and suggestion from members and they might never be as satisfying as you wanted.  

[BitDane]

@OP why not scan and read Satoshi's post history and seek the answer yourself?  Although you may not get a direct answer, it will be an educational browsing for sure and you may probably get a hint to his ideals and possibly may conclude some answer to your questions.  No one here has the right to answer that since it is directed to Satoshi who is MIA since December 13, 2010, 04:45:41 PM

1. Why did you create a technology as big as blockchain and bitcoin and gave it out for free

Satoshi did not create the technology out of a selfish interest; he created the technology and Bitcoin for everyone in the world to use, and despite his absence, the purpose for which he created the coin is still a success.

6. Wait! Are you still alive? Or you died of earthquake in the North?

If he's dead, who do you then expect to come and answer this question? But perhaps even if Satoshi is here with us, he would not respond.

7. Are you a man or a woman or a group of people?

LOL, these questions is dumb. What will you do with such information? 😂

8. Do you have any regrets in creating bitcoin. I asked because a scripture said that God regrettable creating man.

Satoshi is not God, and as long as Satoshi's vision for creating Bitcoin is fulfilled, he will not have any regrets.

15. Why is halving 4 years circle and not 2 years. Is it related to the world cup 4 years interval?

That's because halving is supposed to occur when 210,000 blocks have been mined, and these are completed approximately every 4 years.

18. When do you intend to re-appear as Satoshi Nakamoto?

He will not, because he doesn't have any need to do so and his technology is still efficient.

20. Do you have kids  did you teach them about bitcoin, are they into bitcoin now?

OP, Satoshi did not pass any interview that I am aware of, and really, you don't expect Satoshi to come and answer all these questions. But because Satoshi is a human, he could have children that we are unaware of.

How many questions would you like to ask and who will give you a more accurate answer? He (Satoshi) has created the investment concept of a much better generation to avoid the chaos of the Fiat currency system and Bitcoin is friendlier to trust as a long term investment. If the concept of decentralization has brought you this far then your 20 questions will lead to one conclusion, namely "Decentralization".

P.S Community, did Satoshi grant any interview before his disappearance. If yes, someone should please point me to it.

I think he is not a typical person who likes to show off, simplicity, long -term and anonymous security is the strength possessed by Satoshi. His intelligence exceeds the chatGPT in my opinion , because he successfully kept his identity a secret so far.

Care to share the investment concept he created?  As far as I know, he intends to create a decentralized currency that does not need intermediaries and other financial institutions' approval to do transactions.  And as a result Bitcoin under the blockchain technology is created.  Can you refer to me the part on the white paper that states this investment concept?

I would love to see Satoshi Nakamoto answer these questions but sadly we won't be seeing his answers.

It's been more than a decade since he last login, so I doubt that he will suddenly appear here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3

And he decided to remain hidden from public, and left no traces to his/her/they true identify. So we have to respect that.

To save you time, browse the following threads and see if you can find your answers:

• Who is Satoshi Nakamoto? Part History, Part Mystery, and a New Solution!
• First forum's post 13 years ago by Satoshi introducing Bitcoin
• The List Satoshi Nakamoto Thread
• I gathered every Satoshi Nakamoto thread.

Best of luck!!

For me I don't care to answer all these questions, there are some questions already answered and others it's hard to guess what Satoshi's answer is.
But in my opinion, all this is not important. What is really important is that bitcoin really exists and has become a reality that no one can ignore even governments. Bitcoin continues and its community grows strongly, and this is all that really matters to us, because all other things are secondary and it is not important that you know it or not.

[Dave1]

You have a clue, just go browse his white paper, you can probably see a hint on some of your questions.

Or go to his post, read and most likely you will find some answers too.

We will never know the real identify of Satoshi though, there are a lot who pretend Satoshi, but we all know that he has disappeared and never gonna surfaced.

[SamReomo]

I'm not sure that why you are asking those questions? Don't you know that Satoshi is not active since 2010, and like others mentioned that if he might browse this forum and even participate but not with his original account. Since Satoshi is not active in this forum your questions are of no value.

Satoshi is anonymous and he won't reveal his identity for his own safely, he has created something for the good of humans and still people like you ask those childish questions. Some of your questions are so meaningless that no one is going to answer those questions.

I will answer only your first question: He created Blockchain and Bitcoin for those who wanted a way to trade their goods and money without any interference from a centralized entity or government.  He gave this technology free because his intentions were positive and due to his kindness we have this blockchain technology in our hands.

I must say that we are lucky to have someone like Satoshi who invented something very special and named it Bitcoin that made our lives easier. We should appreciate his efforts rather than asking questions that doesn't make proper sense. You can get answer to most of your questions by reading more about Bitcoin and Blockchain. I would recommend you to visit the links shared by @Baofeng, they will be helpful to you.

[Wiwo]

My one question for you ops.

Who is going to answer all these questions when Satoshi is no longer around and has been inactive for a long, so at that I can say all 20 questions are baseless and unmerited since the person you direct them to is not here in the forum any more, and also have you ever stop to wonder who satoshi is and what condition he is in right now.

I think it is important to settle that part within your head before trying to get answers to those questions.

[crunck]

Bitcoin continues and its community grows strongly, and this is all that really matters to us, because all other things are secondary and it is not important that you know it or not.

Even if we find all the answers to these 20 questions, what do we do next? Bitcoin already exists, and it is becoming useful, so our work is focused on helping each other grow bitcoin and seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Satoshi decided to remain anonymous, and bitcoin is for the present, we should care about the present.

[BlackBoss_]

Satoshi Nakamoto is unknown, at least we don't know who is (are) Satoshi Nakamoto.

Many researches and investigations about Satoshi Nakamoto but no thing was found and enough to identify Satoshi identity.

I gathered every Satoshi Nakamoto thread.
The complete Satoshi from Satoshi Nakamoto Institute.

Real identity was leaked in early days (topic 3 of the forum) but it was deleted by Satoshi Nakamoto. This is information many people did not know.

1, 2, and 4 exist in the staff forum. 3 was permanently deleted at some point (it must have contained Satoshi's real name and address).

[blue Snow]

15. Why is halving 4 years circle and not 2 years. Is it related to the world cup 4 years interval?

I don't know where you got the world cup idea, and I don't know why you don't connect it with the US election interval?, with I think, the Satoshi vision is even closer for that, not on sports.

[OgNasty]

The biggest question I’d like to ask satoshi if how he feels about the core developers pushing their own L2 solution instead of building a system of merged mined chains to handle all sorts of different uses and make sure that Bitcoin miners continue receiving rewards beyond the ending of the block reward distribution. I wonder how long it will take for everyone to realize this was the proper way to scale BTC that satoshi was working towards.

Thank you blackboss for these links.

While some people think that these questions are irrelevant but I am learning many things from this forum. Many information is avaliable in this forum. I don't want to approach bitcoin from the peripheral. I need to have some clue of what happened in the past. It will sharpen my future I believe.

[JoyMarsha]

Even though Satoshi is presumably using a different account and is somehow present with us in the forum. Do you believe he would be willing to find the time to respond to each of the 20 questions you have posted here? He would also be willing to provide you with a thorough response to your questions along with an explanation of his story towards the creation of bitcoin, even if he does have all the answers for you? Do you expect to answer all these questions? That will be a big No. Before raising your eyes to look for the answers to your query, keep this in mind.

I believe that over time, as you become more comfortable with the forum, you will start to find the answers you're seeking for on why Satoshi made the decisions he did regarding the establishment of bitcoin.

That being said, Satoshi had good reasons for continuing to maintain his anonymity even after inventing bitcoin. The decision to continue using anonymity was the finest one he could have made for his life and the future of bitcoin.

[mendace]

They seem like excellent questions to ask Nakamoto but I'm sure he will never come back, he has already played his role and he knows that now many have understood what bitcoin is and why he wanted to develop it. So if you really understand it you don't need to ask.
