my 20 questions to Satoshi Nakamoto!

[Zoomic]

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.

I didn't think about the US elections. What entered my mind as something which happens every 4 years was the world cup. Relating it to US elections, does halving happen somewhere before US elections or after?

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?

Yes, I believe he would have the time to respond to me. Of course he has finished bitcoin creation and he is not so much busy that he won't have time to respond to these questions. Unless he has another project he is developing.

I love your questions, but if I may ask do you intend seeing Satoshi to come here answer all question?
No!, This is not possible maybe he might answered with a separate identity without his main account and of course is very possible since this forum doesn't request for kyc, so he might come to monitor how the forum is functioning aside without people knowing his real identity.

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

Well to be frank with you, I don't think if Satoshi himself or herself will have that open heart to teach his or her children about bitcoin because, if he does that there is every possibility of those kids revealing his identity to say their father or mother is the Satoshi which they might come up with prove to show the government. So I believe that he might kept it secrets from his children in other to remain anonymous, imo.

[DeathAngel]

If Satoshi is still alive & I was able to speak to him, I wouldn’t ask him any questions. My questions would be too dumb & would be of no interest to him. I’d just embarrass myself so if I had a few minutes with him all I’d do is thank him for creating bitcoin & tell him how much of a genius he is.

There’s not much more to it, I’d just tell him how he’s the most successful innovator of the last 100 + years & how I am forever in his debt for changing my & so many others lives for the better.

[Lillominato89]

they are all very good questions, but sadly they will never be answered directly by satoshi nakamoto! unfortunately satoshi chose the path of silence after he gave us his creature and showed everyone that it really works! I don't think satoshi lost the keys to his wallets but more than anything else he left them there to show everyone that he's not a greedy person, and this can be interpreted as a sign of trust to everyone! would you have trusted bitcoin if satoshi had sold his million btc?

[digaran]

It is good though to read his opinions about the path bitcoin is on currently, maybe officially posted we could use some of his new ideas, it is sad though to post anonymously and no one recognizes you, since he has been around these woods for so long.

Could I add another question?
"Why is Gamora?" Lol.

[BlackHatCoiner]

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

Technically speaking he did get paid, as he re-invented money. 

I'd be astonished to read news from him, let alone an entire interview. This guy is worthy of respect not only due to his extreme devotion, envisioning and success to a fundamental problem in economics, but for him being a badass Internet mystery. I mean think about it. Someone, in some unknown corner of the Internet, devoted time and energy to connect the dots and create easy to spread but hard to stifle, as he called, networking solutions for very existent problems, shared the source code for everyone to check, ensure to have loyal people in charge, and then disappear.

[BitcoinMoses]

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
@all

This is the official answer to your 20 questions.  Are you a journalist ?  or a government's agent ?  Please do not play Bitcoin Chess with me or my twin brother.

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

Answer: I don't have to answer but as you are curious so I can reply in different ways, well, my GrandFather forgot to create the Bitcoin Blockchain, so I did; It is not free, but there is an incentive. 

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

Answer: I cannot disclose it right now, why I have not touched those BTC to an individual, but to satisfy your curiosity, I can say something, I cannot tell you it at this point.

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

Answer: No, Not at all.  Government knows me very well.

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

Answer: This is a serious question. No comment.

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

Answer: Bitcoin might go to $1 million in the next 5 years, I cannot disclose any further.

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

Answer: You are speaking like a senseless person in question no. 6. Can a dead man answer to your question ?  D I live in the North ?  I live in the Bitcoin Island in the West.   If there comes a Earth Quake and the Island gets drowned in the Atlantic Ocean, I have no problem, I can swim and go back home.

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

Answer: Read my P2P Foundation Profile. http://p2pfoundation.ning.com/profile/SatoshiNakamoto

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

Answer: I have answered your question in many places, search and you will find it.  Who told you God created man ?  If God has created man and the man became wicked and evil then God has the right to destroy all humans and recreate new God Like man.

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

Answer: All those 1.1 Million Bitcoins belong to my charity.

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?

Answer: Well, it was going in the right way, but something has gone wrong. Those who run and manage the Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency industry are by nature the product of capitalism and they are doing the same as those fiat financial elites.

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

Answer: Which Court ?  Do I need to prove that Craig Wright is wrong ?  Any one can claim to be 'Satoshi Nakamoto' Extraordinary claim requires extraordinary evidence and authentic proof, but they must prove their claim with cryptographic evidence and other proofs in relation to Bitcoin Blockchain and Genesis Block.

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

Answer: That is not your comments, few other people think like that, but the truth is there are more than 16 million BTC owned by a few Bitcoin Sharks, if they put their Bitcoin then the Bitcoin price might fall to $1 dollar.

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)

Answer: Question no. 13 is not a question, 51% attack is meaningless, 86% hash rate is controlled by few mining sharks. 

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.

Answer: Computationally it was possible to format 21,000,000 BTC in one single ledger, I had other plans. WEll 21 Million is divisible to 100,000,000 this could make it easy for macro economists to understand the architect and the nature of Bitcoin limitation. 21 million units has an algorithmic equilibrium logic that 50 Million or 100 Million do not have. It is calculated according to a complex mathematical equation.


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

Answer: Well, that was an idea and it was implemented to end a fixed date in the future.

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

Answer: My identity is probably known by them.  Am I an American ?  Am I a tax evader ?  I think they have tried and successfully found my identity as I did not hide my identity in the first place. When I realized, I must hide my identity and publish the papers in a pseudonym, it was too late.  I am actually visible but unseen by the journalists only.  Government officials and central banking elites know my identity and they are doing their best to keep me silent.

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.

Answer: Governments around the world do not create currencies.  It is when central banks create fiat currencies. Central banks are private and syndicated enterprises;  they are owned by plutocratic elites.  Who form the governments to protect their wealth and power over the masses.  I knew what I was doing, it took me over 16 years to finally invent the Blockchain and Bitcoin.

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

Answer: I do not know. Do I have to r-eappear ?  Where do I need to re-appear ?  Is it in the BitcoinTalk Forum ?

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?

Answer: I have created and recruited many developers and AI.  They do the work that needs to be done.  I just want the Bitcoin sharks and the government's agents to leave me alone.  I do not play ruby in the street, and Alabama ?  I play Chess, Bitcoin Chess against my opponents. Bitcoin is a good game for game changing.

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

Answer: --- - -- --- -- - -----.  ---- ----- ---- -------.  ---- ---- ---- ----- ---.   ----- ---- ?

[jcojci]

If I were Satoshi, I would simply answer, "Why do I have to answer all those questions when most are personal."

I don't really like answering personal questions unless it's from my close friends or family

It's not easy to stay behind the curtains because many eyes are watching Satoshi. Maybe that's the reason for not showing himself back in this forum. But he could still be in this forum and just laugh seeing how many people are still curious about him

[Dakcrypto]

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

Firstly, this up here is not a question.

And secondly, if God was human people like  you would have cause so much regret.
Let me use instance of our day to day activities,  who created money? Why did the person create money? This is exactly what your questions point at, Satoshi in my own view maybe is just the person that is used to improve human living.
Just as the person/ people that created money, made it to facilitate human living so as Satoshi.

What is left for you is to think of what impact you can make in this life, rather than asking questions to entertain us here.
Where ever Satoshi is right now, he or she must be proud of himself for creating an impact that is helping people now to earn a better living.

[borovichok]

they are all very good questions, but sadly they will never be answered directly by satoshi nakamoto! unfortunately satoshi chose the path of silence after he gave us his creature and showed everyone that it really works! I don't think satoshi lost the keys to his wallets but more than anything else he left them there to show everyone that he's not a greedy person, and this can be interpreted as a sign of trust to everyone! would you have trusted bitcoin if satoshi had sold his million btc?

Bitcoin is very broad and having controlled in the market. I believe so much in the digital world, it's reduces stress and most of us are keen on trading the market, staying at home all day printing money. Satoshi Nakamoto have been brave and experience founder of Bitcoin, he's definitely the best I've come acrossed.  Satoshi Nakamoto was probably one of the top influencers in the crypto market, it's very unbelievable to witnessed that he discreet himself from the world, no one knows what's his true identity.

[gmaxwell]

I directed large language model to answer your questions.  It said all the stuff that everyone should have already known.



1. I created blockchain and Bitcoin to address the issue of trust and centralization in the financial system. Giving it out for free was essential for it to gain adoption and foster a community around the technology.

2. The coins created by the genesis block can never be spent.  Any assumptions about my transactions are inevitably incorrect.

3. Privacy and anonymity are important aspects of the Bitcoin network. Revealing my identity might compromise the project's democratic nature.

4. I am unable to discuss the specifics of my private keys or their potential loss.

5. Predicting the future value of Bitcoin is challenging, but I believe in its potential.

6. I am unable to disclose personal information, including my current status.

7. The identity of Satoshi Nakamoto is not important. What matters is the technology and the impact it can have on the world.

8. I have no regrets in creating Bitcoin. The potential for positive change in the financial industry outweighs any potential negative consequences.

9. The decision to sell or use my coins for charitable purposes is personal and not something I will discuss.

10. The evolution of Bitcoin is a natural process, and changes to its development are to be expected. It is up to the community to maintain its original principles.

11. See answer 3 and 7.

12. My actions with my own coins should not significantly impact the overall stability of the Bitcoin network.

13. The defense against a 51% attack relies on the decentralized nature of the network, not on any individual's coin holdings.

14. The choice of 21 million as the maximum supply of Bitcoin was an arbitrary decision, but it serves to create scarcity and incentivize long-term value.

15. The halving interval of 4 years was designed to allow for gradual and predictable decreases in the rate of new coin generation, promoting a stable economic environment.

16. My focus was on the technology, not on evading authorities. The identity of Satoshi Nakamoto is not important compared to the potential impact of the technology.

17. The longevity of Bitcoin depends on the continued support of its community and its ability to adapt to new challenges. I did not design it with a specific expiration date in mind.

18. The identity of Satoshi Nakamoto is not important. The technology and its impact on the world should be the focus.

19. I cannot disclose my current involvement or activities related to the Bitcoin network.

20. I cannot disclose personal information about my family, including their involvement or knowledge of Bitcoin.

Please don't worry about asking questions; it is important for people to learn and understand the technology behind Bitcoin and its potential impact on the world. However, the focus should remain on the technology and its development, rather than the identity of its creator.

[worle1bm]

The real mysterious creator Satoshi himself couldn't answer your any question because we have not heard from him since his disappearance which you also know so no fun in even thinking he will come out to give you clarity on the matter.

But from the community like gmaxwell you have already received all your answers which he might also give if we was actively taking part in these discussions so you have your answers.The biggest part is we all are Satoshi who beleive in Bitcoin at last  and more importantly as said admire his creation and use it rather then finding his true identity because we cannot disclose it so no fun in that.

[KiaKia]

Satoshi Nakamoto is no more active on this forum anymore, it's now left for members on here to answer your question if they feel like, but as for me, I found most of these questions stupid.

The majority of the questions have been answered already that's why I find them ridiculous, you can answer your questions yourself OP if you can think very well.

Even if Nakamoto is active on the forum today I am not sure he will answer your question, unless he found one or two that's not ridiculous.

If the FBI decides to uncover who Satoshi Nakamoto is today, it will be easy if he is active on this forum right now, I have my reasons for saying this, imagine if this forum is the only place that Nakamoto is active on, think about it. 

He vanished for the sake of what he created.

we will never know satoshi's identity, unless he himself shows himself to the whole world, it would be enough for him to sign a message on the blockchain with his address that we all know, but once he declares himself, what could ever change for us ? he made a choice and he didn't make it for money! to me this is worth more than anything else
