Imagine creating something revolutionary and just leaving lol

[tread93]

Satoshi went straught into it hustled to make the bitcoin blockchain, got a bunch of folks to help him, made it fool proof and then just was like welp okay I'm out, dueces. To never be heard from again, never even use any of their massive fortune, not a single lead as to where he is or what he is doing right now. What other world changing technology do you think they are working on right now?

Something I have always been so curious of is what is Satoshi like? How did he grow up, did he have any siblings and what were his parents like (assuming it's just one person and a male as opposed go a group of people).

It baffles me that someone could have such wealth and fortune and not even touch it for sooooo long. Could you imagine this forum shaking to its core if one of his wallets became active? That would he a sight to see.

I know so many people go for Hal Finney being Satoshi which would make a lot of sense since that major fortune hasn't been touched and Hal has been passed for about as long now, but why on earth would Satoshi make the first person he sent btc to be himself if he was trying to keep his identity a secret lol. That's why I think thay can't be. If you ask me Satoshi is out there living among us living an every day life, probably no different than an average upper middle class citizen so that he can keep to himself and never have any suspicion following them. That's just my 2 cents

Satoshi's lesson.

To never be heard from again, never even use any of their massive fortune

The fortune you are mentioning is the bitcoin amount from Bitcoin Genesis block which initiated the Bitcoin blockchain and was done by Satoshi Nakamoto. Satoshi Nakamoto even owned more bitcoin than that Genesis block amount and we never know exact amount of Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin fortune.

not a single lead as to where he is or what he is doing right now. What other world changing technology do you think they are working on right now?

Satoshi Nakamoto created a project to be decentralized so it makes a lot of sense to leave the community and eliminate all massive impacts from the founder's developments technically or from media with posts in the forum.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Satoshi might still be living among us or dead, but it doesn't matter; all that matters is that the technology he designed is working effectively the way he thought of it before or after creating Bitcoin.
Perhaps Satoshi said that a lost Bitcoin "only make everyone else's coins worth slightly more." So, a Bitcoiner should consider his lost wallet key as a donation to the success of Bitcoin technology, what if he also just distroy the key for his wallets that hold a huge sum of Bitcoin? In this life, before something can work the way we expected it to, there are some sacrifices we must make, which I guess is what Satoshi Nakamto did. He locked up a huge amount of Bitcoin in his wallet and probably distroyed the private key to the wallet. He also realised that his technology might not really be decentralised if he made himself known. So, it's all for the good of Bitcoin.

[DapanasFruit]

The many stories, speculations and even myths surrounding the life and eventual disappearance of Satoshi Nakamoto - well, no one can even be sure if this is his real name - all contributed to the attractiveness and mystique of Bitcoin. There is no other cryptocurrency like Bitcoin and there has never been a founder with almost the same backdrop...only Satoshi got it and he left us with a legacy that will go on 'forever" or maybe until humanity remains to be viable on this planet. Right now, no one can be sure if the man is still alive or if he was already 6 feet below the ground...and it would be a BIG news if one day he would resurfaced and moved one of his many cache of BTC.

Without a doubt doing what Satoshi did requires a mentality that is incredibly rare, to begin with the skill level needed to create bitcoin on its own is crazy, which is why there are many members which believe Satoshi could not have been a single person for this reason alone, however the fact that he could leave and let others develop the project in which he dedicated so much time and effort, and left behind a fortune which may one day make him the richest person alive requires a personality and thought process the majority of us will never understand.

[DaNNy001]

For me I personally think Satoshi is not just one person, the whole concept of making it to be a single person is particularly all made up and I don't think if Satoshi is even a single person he would be living among us today, I mean check out all the flawlessness of no one actually even getting in contact with him or she not even the people he worked with to develop this great technology? Sometimes I just feel the whole story about Satoshi isn't just clear enough but who am I to dip into the one of the mystery buried down deep in the abyss of life so I just learn to leave these taught and carry on the explanable shits I know.

[adaseb]

He left because it gained popularity and the general community were going to keep supporting it. If he stayed around eventually he would of slipped up and his identity might of been reveled and I don’t think it would of been a good thing.

It’s good that he remains a mystery. Add some excitement and suspense to the coin. I tell people that nobody knows who created Bitcoin and they all get curious.

[Despairo]

Satoshi disappearance is good for Bitcoin community because it will increase the decentralized perspective, if Satoshi is still active communicate, attending seminars or anything that proving his identity, people will think Satoshi can fully control Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is a threat for centralized bank and fiat too, there have been many cases where someone invented a great thing and then suddenly there's a news if the creator is die without any clear reason.

You don't need to worry about the where about of Satoshi because it is not important. No one can also say if he is dead or alive. Since one can fake his own death and travel to somewhere that no one will ever think of and remain there without no one notice. We don't know the identity of Satoshi and you might be at his side buying some stuffs in the supermarket and wouldn't know that this person is the great Satoshi. You know he is a very intelligent person and I believe that he has the foresight of what might happen to him if he reveal his identity as Satoshi. We should be happy that a man like him was given birth to the world. Someone that gave us financial freedom from the government financial entrapment.

[sesterceshop]

Who knows, maybe he's cooking up another technological marvel in the shadows. As for their background, it's one of those tantalizing mysteries – were they a lone genius, a team, or an AI wizard? And you're spot on about the wallet activation - the world would erupt like a volcano. But I've got to admit, the idea of Satoshi blending in like a regular Joe, orchestrating change from the sidelines, is a fascinating twist. Or maybe he's an alien? I think the latter is better.

[davis196]

Bitcoin was far from perfect back in 2009. I highly doubt that Satoshi had viewed Bitcoin as something revolutionary and groundbreaking.
He probably viewed Bitcoin as an experiment, that might be successful or it might fail miserably. He didn't knew back in 2009 what will happen with Bitcoin 14 years later. I'm pretty much convinced at this point that Satoshi Nakamoto is dead. There's no point staying in the shadows forever and not touching the Bitcoins that you have in your own wallet. All the people asking "will Satoshi appear out of nowhere again?" are simply delusional.

The fact is, we have theories but we aren't sure. We don't have actual proofs, we can't confidently say that this or that is Satoshi Nakamoto. Maybe he is Hal Finney, it will be very logical because he was one of the first to use Bitcoin, at the same time he was American while Satoshi was posting in British English, probably make it more real that he and Hal were two different person. Deep in my guts I think that one wouldn't manage to remain anonymous for such a long time with such a big wealth. I think that Satoshi is dead in real life. At least what we all can say is that this man did absolutely everything to make Bitcoin number one and the most decentralized currency by sacrificing his virtual existence and it was way earlier than Hal Finney's death.

[Husires]

we do not know Satoshi, we cannot say for sure with a philosophical answer that has no meaning. He may have died, been killed, been arrested, lost his sight, had a big problem, or he just has enough money, or he does not want to show his identity, or or. This will remain one of the hypotheses that can last with us for a very long time and without a clear answer. All we will say are hypotheses that no one can prove or deny.

Think of every bitcoin that Satoshi didn't spend as an added value to your existing bitcoins, instead of 21 million bitcoins we have 20 million bitcoins which is good. if Satoshi appears, the value of Bitcoin may decrease.

[mendace]

It is interesting to speculate about Satoshi's current activities and the technologies he may have developed.  He might be involved in fields like artificial intelligence, cryptography or advanced blockchain technology.  Regarding what Satoshi was like as a person, unfortunately, we have no concrete information about his identity, family background or personality.  Anonymity is one of the fascinating quirks of this story. It would certainly be an amazing sight if one of his wallets became active, but only time will tell what happens.  As for Hal Finney's theory, it's an interesting conjecture, but as you've noted, it may not be the ultimate solution to the Satoshi mystery.

[KiaKia]

Not having concrete information about who Satoshi is or what he looks like is mind blowing, tell me how decentralization will work if the centralization knows who to target? I know hex is probably a scam but if Richard Heart is unknown who will the SEC target? No one.

I prefer Bitcoin as the one decentralized crypto project because the maker is a ghost, other decentralized projects have developers that are well known around the world, that's why they can't maintain true decentralization when the government comes for them.

The ultimate sacrifice as a decentralized developer is working for the people without becoming famous in front of the camera, you want to exist in a centralized world? This is the only way.

[bluebit25]

The story of Satoshi will always be a big question for all of us, but I realize that whoever he is, we are all part of this market, there is so much and so much to it. The issue that I think needs more research is this question. I remember a story about a theory in mathematics where the tortoise and the hare run together and the hare will never catch up to the tortoise, just as Satoshi wants to remain anonymous and we keep looking for him, so we can't even find it. It would be simpler to just look at the facts of what is happening in and around this market space, whether it scares us or is more accepting of it.

Satoshi was forced to disappear so that his offspring would remain decentralized, as it was intended.

It should not be assumed that Satoshi (or a group of people under this pseudonym) are the serial creators of something revolutionary (although this can't be ruled out either, because he / they can work under new pseudonyms). Anything could happen, for example, the creator of bitcoin is no longer alive or they have exhausted their creative potential.

Something I have always been so curious of is what is Satoshi like? How did he grow up, did he have any siblings and what were his parents like (assuming it's just one person and a male as opposed go a group of people).

It remains (perhaps forever) beyond the unknown.

Wealth is only for the poor and the living. It is not known, probably he is not experiencing financial difficulties, if, of course, he is still alive. Think about it and then it will not confuse you.

Undoubtedly, any activity on Satoshi's wallets will make a splash not only on this forum, but throughout the entire crypto community. Until this happens, you can sleep peacefully.

I know so many people go for Hal Finney being Satoshi which would make a lot of sense since that major fortune hasn't been touched and Hal has been passed for about as long now, but why on earth would Satoshi make the first person he sent btc to be himself if he was trying to keep his identity a secret lol.

It could have been a feint to confuse the likes of you. This also remains beyond the bounds of the unknown.

It is also possible that Satoshi continues to live among us, but we don't know anything about this. Apparently, it's better for him and for BTC.

[Findingnemo]

Not everyone is running for money in their life and Satoshi can be an example of it and that if his sole intention of creating Bitcoin is to bring decentralization into the monetary system, it also can be why he chose to be anonymous to avoid undue attention and to allow the project to evolve independently.

I can show you hundreds of revolutionary projects/ideas brought into the world but most of them were criticized and the project got dumped it then took centuries to figure out they were right at the end which means people are not yet ready to accept the change but it is about to so Saotshi may also choose his identity to be anonymous so no one is going after the individual and let's embrace the idea itself but years later the bitcoin turns out to be an inevitable valued thing in the world.

And we can speculate a lot about Satoshi but in the end, it can be just speculation unless he shows up and tell the truth.

I think it's part of a more sincere plan than just thinking about self-enriching. Also, if satoshi later decides to cash out all his bitcoins, I think the layman's assessment of bitcoin is no different from what they have considered other fraudulent entities in the past.

My two cents, Bitcoin is a perfectly organized insurgency operation against the central financial system, lol.

[yhiaali3]

I do not know what you are hinting at, but this is what really happened. Some great achievements in life require a great sacrifice.

Some scientists in the nineteenth century tried to inject themselves with the virus to try a new drug, and they were exposed to danger, and some of them may have died in order to achieve their goal and invent a new drug that saves humanity.

So what Satoshi did is not surprising, sacrificing wealth is much less than sacrificing life. Satoshi may have sacrificed his wealth that he obtained from inventing Bitcoin and mining the first blocks, but he provided a great service to humanity that will remember his name for hundreds of years.
