If you were Satoshi Nakamoto, what would you do?

[Mehedi72]

I have some questions for everyone: If you were Satoshi Nakamoto, what would you do?

• Would you dare to appear in public?
• Would you move 1M BTC and sell for USD?
• Would you participate in the development and upgrade process of Bitcoin blockchain?
• Would you agree to accept the invitation to El Salvador?
• Wouldl you continue to stay anonymous and observe the development of Bitcoin?
• Would you reveal this secret to your children before you die?

 
It feels good whenever i read about him cause without him, we weren't here anymore. Well It hard to imagine myself on that place lol but i must say this topic will be interesting enough.
1. No. it is better to hidden from the world and work peacefully
2. Partially YES! Don't know about his balance but better to sold out 30-50% btc and have fun
3. YES. Passion is there
4. NO. No need at all.
5. YES. It feels great when you are too popular, brillionare and nobody knows your. You can move anywhere freely.
6. YES. Otherwise who will take My place?
These are my personal opinion. other people are welcome to think differently

1. No, I would rather stay anonymous instead of endangering myself by doing that because I would know that there will always be haters among the lovers.

2. Yes if I could do it completely anonymously without the fear of revealing any clue that could lead the world to me, even the IP address.

3. Maybe, but again, only if I could do it without showing my identity or location.

4. Maybe, maybe not.

5. Yes, that would have been my favourite hobby to watch the world play with what I have created.

6. Of course, but only if I could because death doesn't always give you time to do things you've planned.

I think you will need a cautious plan to be able to sell your BTC without affecting the BTC Price and the entire Crypto market, while maintaining the very good anonymous that Satoshi has tried to preserve for many years.

In addition, you also need to educate your children to understand your vision, and the value that anonymous can bring to them and the crypto market. If you want to be anonymous for safety, you definitely want your children to do the same.

6. Of course, but only if I could because death doesn't always give you time to do things you've planned.

I think there is no difficulty to reveal my identity to my children, perhaps they just need to know the true identity and know how to keep that secret as part of the family history that only the head will know this truth. Perhaps they do not need to be trained to succeed our Bitcoin development career. If they want, they can find out on Bitcoin.org easily and join the Bitcoin Dev community to improve their own skills and vision.

[elevates]

There are some of the most weird questions in you list. The top 3 questions are not suited to the character Satoshi build before becoming completely anonymous. The last question is personal and since he is not known publicly we won't know whether he has a family or not with kids. Creating such topics on an altcoin board which discusses cryptocurrencies and not Bitcoin doesn't make any sense. Asking some wierd questions suggest you might jave been out blown by Bitcoin's simplicity and it's ability to survive so long.

[yazher]

Appearing in public will attract countless questions and the media will manipulate whatever you say to them and use it for their own advantage if they are one of those hostile against bitcoins, then they will just simply ask you about Bitcoin's disadvantages and highlight it on their front page to cause confusions to the people who want and already investors of bitcoins. Therefore, staying anonymous is the best thing he can do and no matter what they try to manipulate their audiences regarding bitcoins, it does not have any impact since they are just speculating as well without any solid evidence.

[Makus]

In my own opinion, I believe Satoshi took the best decision to stay anonymous until now. Because that anonymity has been the pillar that holds Bitcoin network from the influence of the government. Majority of the government don't like cryptocurrency at large, so assuming Satoshi did all those things in the question the op asked, by now he would have been assassinated or jailed for any reason they come up with. Hence I am saying if I were to be Satoshi, I would have done the same thing in keeping my identity anonymous from the public.

[mvdheuvel1983]

Firstly, I think Satoshi did the best thing by not revealing himself to anyone and by keeping the forum very active to me this is the best thing has has done so far. Now back to the question of the op, question number6 caught my attention so I would like to make my honest contribution. There's no way I will be running an organization without introducing my children to what I do so if I was Satoshi, I would not just reveal my secret to my children when am about to go to the other world I will reveal my secret to them when am still strong and healthy, teach them the things they need to do while am here and when am gone, hand over my business to them so they will master it before i will be gone.

Everyone have their different reasons for making a personal decision and if we actually had the chance to speak with Satoshi, he would definitely have different reasons for staying anonymous and not wanting to join discussions about bitcoin. Question one, my answer will be no and my reasons are, I consider staying anonymous for my safety and besides observing the growth with the anonymous pattern is the best. Participating in development discussions still requires revealing your identity, if he should reveal the secret is a personal choice and I will do so cause during that time the information is irrelevant but it seems his children will inherit the respect, even if Satoshi reveal such secret to his children I'm sure his children will not disclose such information to the media or anyone.

1. No, because remaining anonymous will make my life feel calm and peaceful with my beloved family.

2. Yes, and I will sell it so that I can enjoy it with my family for seven generations and I will also build a place of worship and I will name that place of worship Satoshi Nakamoto. And besides that, I also want to share it with people who need it, so that I can feel peace when I live and also when I die.

3. No, I think that's enough and I hope there are other people like me, because this answer is the same as answer number 1.

4. No, and this answer is the same as number 1, if I follow it it means I am no longer anonymous.

5. Yes, I will remain anonymous and maybe I can just monitor it without having to do it.

6. No, I won't reveal it to them but I will share my good fortune with them, and let them find out for themselves and it will be a beautiful story when they find out after I die.

And my answer remains consistent with anonymity, and the same as what I wrote for you.

[Sayeds56]

If I were Satoshi Nakamatu I would prefer to remain anonymous and never reveal my identity. Nevertheless, my dedication to advancing Block Chain technology for the betterment of humanity would persist. Regrading the Bitcoins in my possession, I would choose to sell a portion, and use the proceed to establishing a welfare program aimed at combating disease and poverty in developing nations.

[aleksandrvo]

Satoshi Nakamoto is a famous figure in the crypto market, and perhaps worldwide at the moment, because he created Bitcoin - the first crypto and opened the blockchain & crypto era. There have been many searches for Satoshi's true identity but no one has been successful. There is someone claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto but cannot prove it when he cannot move BTC from Satoshi Nakamoto's address^[1].

For many people, Satoshi's anonymity is one of the most important assets of the Bitcoin blockchain because it keeps Bitcoin from being an asset managed by any individual^[2]. However, today I think of a case when Satoshi Nakamoto reappeared and made the crypto community vibrant again in many ways: discuss on crypto forums, move a few satoshis from his address, send a message to the crypto community via Inscription...

If I were Satoshi Nakamoto, I would probably send the entire 1M BTC to charities around the world. I would not dare to appear and have my identity revealed for fear of endangering my life. Bitcoin has succeeded beyond all initial expectations

Nice question bro, haven't thought of any of thos before, if I were satoshi I definitely would think staying out of spotlight would be a very good thing for me, cause I don't want the extra attention from the government and all that and who knows what hidden charges thay might have against him already just waiting for him to pop up.

It's do temping to sell those 1 million bitcoin but who knows I might sell a little to flex a bit, but you know we can't be satoshi and what is damp holding him from becoming the richest man in the world or maybe he kept them for his children, or he is waiting for bitcoin to reach 500k or maybe a million dollar and them becomes the next richest man in the world.

I'll definitely not want to be actively involved to market bitcoin cause I'll probably be in retirement by now and would be chilling with some nice Indian or Asian Mexican girl on a yacht right now 😁, but I won't because it might raise some suspicion.

I guess since I'm not planning to revel my identity I won't go to el salvador.

I would definitely tell my children, but if I am anonymous then I have to be to my family too, they could spill the bean, so I'll find a way to tell them maybe by will or after my death, but that's Lane my lawyer could just be a rebel and claim my 1m bitcoin for himself.

[Mate2237]

No I will not appear and the anonymous nature of Satoshi Nakamoto is making bitcoin very strong therefore I will not dare to come out. I will not sell my 1M BTC to USD instead I will use it to buy things as bitcoin. The way bitcoin is, is okay so there is no need for any upgrading. Let it be like this. Yes I will go and see how they are doing and using BTC in the country of El Salvador and revive the economy with BTC and any other country that have accepted BTC like Central Africa Republic. If my identity has not been known then it is better to stay anonymous. Yes I will show the the secret but remember I didn't invent bitcoin alone.

There are many claims of people that they are Satoshi Nakamoto but all are false. As you said, they have to sign a message here in the forum and move coins from the Genesis Block.

it's true, it would be better if Satoshi remained anonymous. he is a visionary. created Bitcoin with an extraordinary vision for the future.
I don't have to think I'll like it or if I'm already in Satoshi's position. because I'm still an ordinary person who might make a mistake when I see the success that Bitcoin is currently bringing.
not just Satoshi, but anyone who has large enough crypto assets. try to remain anonymous. it will be good for our comfort.

[electronicash]

let's say real Satoshi comes out. satoshi doing any of these questions will affect the crypto market. satoshi sending a single satoshi from his wallet will plummet BTC price and right there and then, he can never hide ever again. people will be following him wherever he goes.

the moment he sends BTC, Bitcoin will not be decentralized anymore and that's what it takes to make the coin no different from other altcoins.

Satoshi Nakamoto have decided to keep himself discreet, he's not aiming at any other thing but innovating new projects to the space, he keeps doing the wonders of the current day market and he knows how to control the market connecting the investors and traders. He knows everyone that's in the space is keen on making double of their initial deposits, more reason we have the profits and losses. Satoshi is already overhyped in the system and any project that have been become trends in the market doesn't end up forming the green long candles in the space.

If I were to be Satoshi, I would definitely continue to stay anonymous, and I won't sell my 1 million + bitcoin for usd, since doing so means I am giving usd more power over my own invention - bitcoin, when the inventor or bitcoin is not holding any bitcoin, what do you expect the community to do, selling all my bitcoina simply means I no longer have trust and believe in what I built, and this move may trigger a major sell off of bitcoin by big holders, which may drastically affect the price of bitcoin and possibly crumble it.

And again, I won't accept any invitation from any country, staying anonymous should mean staying anonymous, I will absolutely nothing to reveal true identity to the public, though I will sure come around and from time to time, have a chat with the bitcoin community, like on this forum, I will also actively participate in the development and growth of bitcoin, but no body will ever know who I am.

And yes, before I die, I will reveal all to my children, but ask them to keep what ever I tell them a secret, for their own safety.

We all know that Satoshi's anonymity is important for the fate of BTC: BTC is not controlled by anyone, the fate of BTC does not depend on any independent individual. Satoshi chose to remain anonymous and disappear to protect the future of BTC. I think Satoshi will not suddenly appear to have a negative impact on his brainchild, BTC.

I think you will need to focus on educating your children about the importance of anonymity, and to be safe from the scrutiny and surveillance of the greedy, your children should never reveal that their parent is Satoshi, who may be holding 1M BTC = 62B USD 

[Nazmul012]

1) i would like to keep my indentity secret. And 2) will sell everything is i found my family members aren't capable to handle my assets, otherwise don't need to sell. 3) Then yeah I'll keep take part to develop & upgrade process of btc blockchain. 4) No invitation, 5) cause i opt out to make my identity secret. And i already answered the last question. 6) i have to reveal. Otherwise who'll take the responsibility after me? Or maybe I'll give my assets to someone who are capable enough.

[Zanab247]

I will be anonymous through out the journey, because that is what is making BTC to continue dominating in the world today, and assume Satoshi Nakamoto make his identity public to the whole world, maybe his family members would have be among the people that would have betray him by exposing all his secrets to the world.

I will make BTC permanent by printing more BTC to be in circulation, like centralized currency which is a permanent currency to the government because they are in charge of the currency, and they have the power to print more money to be in circulation.

 Any country that make it legal tender will have some benefit the country will be enjoying from BTC than others who don't make it legal tender, and it will make many countries that ban BTC to unbanned it.
