If you were Satoshi Nakamoto, what would you do?

[oktana]

1. I wouldn’t dare appear in public. Not a good idea in any way.
2. If Satoshi chooses to sell 1M Bitcoin, I don’t see a problem with that in the sense that they created it for decentralization purposes so it doesn’t kill the reason why it was built (even if it’ll cause FUD for holders).
3. What if they are participating in secret? I’m not sure programmers easily give up their own code.
4. I wouldn’t accept anything from anywhere. Safety first.
5. Definitely, what’s better if not that?
6. This is a tricky one because having to hide it from them their whole lives isn’t good (even if you tell them eventually). But then, it’s also risky to tell them because what if they are teenagers and teenagers can be chatty about stuff. For their safety, I’d rather not tell them, not until they are proper adults and understand the consequences of revealing such identity.

Very exciting question to answer   because we are being told to become Bitcoin creators.
If I were Satoshi Nakamoto then I would continue to stay behind the scenes for my own safety. and I will not sell bitcoin in large amounts because I know Bitcoin will be very valuable in the future.and I will tell my children because this is a legacy for the future of my children and grandchildren.

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?

Satoshi Nakamoto created bitcoin to be anonymity therefore he has to be anonymity as well because if he shows himself then the US government will arrest him and ask him to destroy bitcoin. And they will be different accusations on him and the one they will use to against him is the money laundering. Which is the back bone of the US government to accuse any privacy company in the cryptocurrency ecosystem to ban them and we have seen it from the mixers perspective.
Moving but bitcoin is not the problem of the matter, he can move bitcoin past anytime of his choice. How many bitcoins are the Satoshi Nakamoto Genesis bitcoin address? Did you know the amount? I don't think they are not much. And I also think the main address he is using is different from that first address. I believed even now too he is going to El Salvador bitcoin conferences.
Yes anonymity is the number one identity in the ecosystem. And to my children I will but depends on the age they are.

Yes that's right. This question makes us imagine ourselves as Satoshi Nakamoto. But what is clear is that if I were in Satoshi's position, I would still keep my real identity a secret because this is very life-threatening because we know that the real purpose of bitcoin is to fight fiat currency which is always enslaved by communities and countries. I will not sell the bitcoins that I have because bitcoins are for future assets, and will remain anonymous to observe the development of bitcoin because in principle bitcoin is anonymous.

Of course, all Bitcoin assets will be passed on to children, this is necessary because without passing them on to children, the assets we own cannot be accessed if something happens to us. Inheriting bitcoin assets is as important as inheriting other wealth, this is an obligation as parents.

Everyone acquainted with the crypto space have sometimes wished themselves to be Satoshi Nakamoto, the anonymous founder of bitcoin and he has not been traced till this current day, shocking right? If I happen to be Satoshi Nakamoto, I stay anonymous inother to avoid a whole set of dramatic events that would be happening, firstly I would be seen as a threat and enemy by most countries because their government believes that the existence of bitcoin is to surpassed all fiat currency in the world and their ultimate target will be to bring me down and I've been encountering one problem or moving from one court to another based on lawsuits from top companies and influential men who have carelessly liquidated their huge funded portfolio. Just stay mute and take good care of my family which will also not be awared of me as founder of bitcoin, amazing idea it is.

Yes. True, if we tell the truth we will become prisoners of criminals and will be forced to release all our assets if we do not want the safety of family members to be threatened. That's why until now the creator of BTC is still silent and closes himself to the ends of his hair.

Let alone BTC, small objects that are considered valuable are also their target, if BTC is very fantastic, just 1 BTC is good, calm down to live for 2 months without having to work and sleep. .

[siniminomorocomunisakito]

you have to consider the consequences when you answer yes to revealing yourself. remember that all criminals including the government will want to get much from satoshi's wallet.

the criminal will kidnap everyone from your bro and sisi and your sons and daughters including your nana threatening to sell their cochie on the black-market if you don't send 1M BTC as ransom. and the government will also surround your house with the IRS agent and then compute everything from unrealized gains to profits.  

Nice jokes @electronicash and its funny stories but if we look at the scene it will be like what you said above. In addition, if we read about incidents like the one you told us, it has happened with a heart-wrenching ending, and that's what will happen if we are too evoria to our valuable assets like BTC that you exemplified.

Threats also do not come tangibly, intangibly also always present especially if we store passwords online on the exchange on our investment accounts.

I wouldn't want to appear in public, that is a sure thing answer, but I do not know how I would say no to 1 million bitcoins. However that poses itself another question, I mean let's be honest, if someone wanted to sell the whole million, they can't do it now, it would both mean that you would have to show yourself, it would also mean crashing the market like no other, and it would also get you hate that nobody else would, even death threats, there would be crazy people who would try to steal it from you and MANY other issues.

This is why most of the lottery winners end up with getting broke again after a while, it takes a bit of a time and we should probably see satoshi staying away because of that. He knows it is not a smart move.

• Would you dare to appear in public?

If I'm Satoshi Nakamoto I wouldn't dare to reveal my identity to the public for security purposes.Not only for security purposes,we all know that the government is against Bitcoin because they think that Bitcoin would replace the traditional currency so how much more if they are against the currency they won't go after the life of inventor if he dare reveals himself to the public.

• Would you move 1M BTC and sell for USD?

Definitely yes I would

• Would you participate in the development and upgrade process of Bitcoin blockchain?

No I won't because it's has always been the reason for being anonymous.

• Would you agree to accept the invitation to El Salvador?

No I won't, although El Salvador has adopted the use of Bitcoin as a means of transaction and have been friendly with cyptro transaction but I won't accept the invitation.

• Wouldl you continue to stay anonymous and observe the development of Bitcoin?

Yes I would continue to remain anonymous and watch every development of Bitcoin.

• Would you reveal this secret to your children before you die?

Yes I would because it will be so selfish of me not to reveal it to my children before my dismissal.Bitcoin is an asset that can be transferred to your heir so I will reveal it to my children.

Indeed, If I'm Satoshi, I will also hide this identity until the end of my life. Too risky to reveal it to the world, even to our clsoed family. Better to keep the privacy. This is not only about how great we are as Satoshi to be well known in the world, but it is also about security, privacy, comfort life, and more otehrs. So, when I will probably get worse condition when revealing the identity, why should do it? Better to keep it as secret until the end, right? 

Honestly, even if I'm going to die, I will keep this secret and not telling even my children. why?
because we won't know after dying, what will happen to my family then. And if my children or even closed family tell it to other people and the other people will tell it also to many other people, this will exactly danger their life, danger my children, and my family. That is why, it is enough to teach them about Bitcoin and more knowledge about crypto and how to utilize it, and also about the wallets and its assets, but not telling the secret of being Satoshi.

[bitgolden]

There is really no discussion about being back, because if you are gone then you are gone, coming back at this point would be the stupidest thing he could do and makes no sense at all.

I personally believe that the best thing we could do regarding this topic would be just focusing on how to get better at something else. Satoshi, creating something like this, means that he is either actually gone, like literally he is dead, or he is working on something else because a mind that is smart enough to create bitcoin, would be smart enough to know how to cut all his ties, like not even be able to come back if he wants to. That is why I think it is quite important to know that you are not going to come back, and would work on something else.

[Kelward]

If I were Satoshi Nakamoto, and I've stayed anonymous until now, I wouldn't surface, because the welcome party have become tired of waiting and there'll be no red carpet waiting to receive him. He's better off remaining anonymous and let his famed legendary to continue, he created Bitcoin, that promotes privacy and decentralization, and he's living the example of it, never interfering with the dev. team.

As for the BTC in his wallet, it'll be a shame to let it go to waste, I'd have loved for it to be giving to charity, since he's perhaps too rich that he doesn't need it. On second thought, if the BTC is moved, then perhaps it could be traced, and by chance his identity can be revealed.

[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.

And they will be different accusations on him and the one they will use to against him is the money laundering.

Good luck to them then if they could actually prove this. But you are right and I think many bitcoin enthusiasts have not stopped to think about that for a moment, they probably think satoshi is untouchable or immortal.

But in reality he can be in great danger not only from the government but also from people who have ill intentions in general.
