"I've moved on to the other things" -Satoshi

[Abuobyda218]

Satoshi made a valuable statement on April 23, 2011 that still carries a lot of meaning, especially when he announced that he was moving others things..
Where did Satoshi want to go from Bitcoin and what object did he point to that is more valuable than Bitcoin?
Does he mean that if he later discovers something more valuable than Bitcoin, he will present himself to the public?
If a quantum computer becomes a threat to Bitcoin, will it hide itself or re-introduce himself to save Bitcoin?

" Bitcoin is in good Hands" : How appropriate is this statement for quantum computers?

[Odusko]

He moved on to other things, confirm that he is done with Bitcoin development and 100& compatible with time, that is why he said Bitcoin is in good hands, if you have read Satoshi comments here in the forum you will notice how he always pointed to the strength of Bitcoin to survive the time, that is why he mentioned about Bitcoin growth should be organic and void of manipulation as a Decentralized asset.

[Ambatman]

Where did Satoshi want to go from Bitcoin and what object did he point to that is more valuable than Bitcoin?

it never stated or implied that it has moved to something better or more valuable
It shows he was aware Bitcoin doesn't need him anymore to stay afloat
Hence moving to other things.

And if the world knew what he moved to, I don't think his identity would still be a mystery today.

Is Quantum computers where we now draw the line?

Since Satoshi left the internet, do you even know the number of security patches and upgrades developers has role out to improve Bitcoin and it's network? If today Satoshi is online and well active among the Bitcoin lead developers, he alone can't handle the development of Bitcoin, we have other gifted developers that has sacrificed their time and effort for Bitcoin, I think they are not giving enough credit. Just know, the same way other security threat are been solved, even quantum will be put in place.

Perhaps it's time we stop spreading the Quantum fud and then provide an adequate solution of any qunatum threat.
Satoshi owe you nothing that's if he is even alive. I have seen many developers talked about qunatum computers and the way forward.
Go to Bitcoin development and technical discussion, there are many threads of quantum computers and some post quantum wallet all dedicated to Bitcoin.

[Botnake]

Here we go again with the quantum computing fear. I’ve seen this argument many times before, that Bitcoin will get compromised and the price will crash to zero. Honestly, I think this is an overreaction.

Quantum computers are still experimental. Big tech companies are clearly aware of the risks, yet they’re still investing in Bitcoin. That alone says a lot. You don’t even need deep technical knowledge to see the logic. If the biggest players with the best engineers trust the system, then they’re confident it won’t be compromised anytime soon.

Quantum computers will never be threat to bitcoin bud, so do not have this fear, I've spent time reading some really important documents which opened my eyes to the real reality, bitcoin isnt and will never be under any threat of quantum computers, forget and disregard what the outside media are reporting about this, they simply want you to be afraid.

I will tell you this for free, Satoshi doesn't have to come out to the public again to save bitcoin because if ever quantum computers become a threat to it, rest assured that the internet as a whole isn't safe, your banks, your personal pcs, the government database, every thing in this world that uses the internet will not be safe and I tell you that it will be so bad that Bitcoin will be the last thing anybody will remember.

Do not cut the quote because the hands that Satoshi Nakamoto was referring to was Gavin Andresen, a bitcoin core developer at that time. Quantum computers do not have anything to do with that quote in anyway, you are just trying to confuse people and making up stuff.

[HelliumZ]

Among the many questions, I know the answer to one question, which is that Satoshi gave his Bitcoin to some important person and went into hiding from the Bitcoin forum, keeping his identity a secret. Famous developer Gavin Anderson has been given responsibility for Bitcoin development after going into hiding, and he has commented that Bitcoin will be safe in his hands.
Another important point is that quantum computers will not only harm Bitcoin, but also other important confidential documents in the world, the military secrets of various countries, and the secrets of various computers. Since Bitcoin is safe in a few important hands, when Bitcoin is threatened, perhaps Satoshi himself will decide what to do.

Eleven years ago today I had my last email exchange with Satoshi; here it is:

Subject: alert key
Satoshi Nakamoto satoshin@gmx.com
26 Apr 2011, 10:29

I wish you wouldn’t keep talking about me as a mysterious shadowy
figure, the press just turns that into a pirate currency angle. Maybe
instead make it about the open source project and give more credit to
your dev contributors; it helps motivate them.

I’ve moved on to other things and will probably be unavailable. Here’s
the CAlert key and broadcast code in case you need it. You should
probably give it to at least one or two other people. There are a few
long time users who are always around all the time.

You must’ve read the Forbes article… yeah, I’m not happy with the
‘wacky pirate money’ tone, either.

More credit for the rest of the contributors is a very good idea.

RE: forwarding the key/code: fricking fracking… now I’ve gotta
figure out a couple of people who I can trust to keep them safe…

On a completely different subject: I did something that I hope turns
out to be smart, but might be stupid.

I was contacted by http://www.iqt.org/ – they’re a US-govt-funded
‘strategic investment’ company, and part of what they do is holding an
annual conference on emerging technologies for US intelligence
agencies. This year the theme is “Mobility of Money”.

They asked if I’d be willing to talk about Bitcoin, and I committed to
giving a 50-minute presentation and participating in a panel
discussion.

I hope that by talking directly to “them” and, more importantly,
listening to their questions/concerns, they will think of Bitcoin the
way I do– as a just-plain-better, more efficient,
less-subject-to-political-whims money. Not as an all-powerful
black-market tool that will be used by anarchists to overthrow The
System.

It might be really stupid if it just raises Bitcoin’s visibility on
their radar, but I think it is way too late for that; Bitcoin is
already on their radar.

I plan on posting about this on the forums soon, because “Gavin
secretly visits the CIA” would spin all sorts of conspiracy theories.
“Gavin openly visits the CIA” will create enough conspiracy theories
as it is.

Yeah the "bitcoin to zero" talk is silly. Even if QC advanced fast, it would target specific algorithms, not the whole concept of decentralized money. The network can evolve. It's not a static relic.

Yeah sir, it's too much because it's deliberately made that scary, even though it has been explained how many times quantum computing takes a long time to really be used massively. Let's say quantum computing is 10-15 years away, we can just ask the developers and the bitcoin community to update the algorithm with quantum proof. If I'm not mistaken this was done when bitcoin did a hardfork.

I think you are getting it wrong mate, Satoshi nakamoto never made mentioned or point out that he is going into something that is more valuable than Bitcoin. His statement makes it clear that he is done with Bitcoin and Bitcoin doesn't need him for any reason, Bitcoin will be just fine with or without him. No body knows the next tech he is going into but when the time comes we will all know. So don't be too quick to explain what you don't know.

Well, that is indeed a fundamental fact that even a beginner who understands the significance of many countries and giant global companies still accumulating bitcoin can realize. Bitcoin has even been made a reserve asset by several private and public companies. And they certainly believe that quantum computers are not yet a threat in the near future. We don't know what the future holds, but it seems that Bitcoin will survive longer than we expect. Fears and news surrounding quantum computers usually resurface ahead of a bear market or before the final surge before a bear market. And news about this will eventually disappear and be ignored. Satoshi Nakamoto clearly felt that bitcoin no longer needed his involvement. But honestly, I am still in awe of how he created this system.

" Bitcoin is in good Hands" : How appropriate is this statement for quantum computers?

He moved on to other things, which doesn't indicate creating a new project or something similar. He might have some other things to do either in his personal life or in business. Also, it doesn't mean there is something more valuable than Bitcoin. He wrote, "Bitcoin in good hands," which would probably indicate Bitcoin developers and the community.

I don't think he will pop up with something more valuable than Bitcoin. Satoshi is popular due to the creation of Bitcoin, so I don't believe he would destroy his own creations anyway. Rather, he might develop Bitcoin with more advanced technology. Even if there is a threat for Bitcoin regarding quantum, developers would think to counter the threats. I don't believe Bitcoin would be destroyed anyway; it would be developed to counter quantum threats. Who knows? Maybe he is even thinking of developing something to counter the quantum threats. Bitcoin will be safe whether Satoshi reveals himself or not, because there are developers and a community standing for Bitcoin.

You're right, Satoshi's identity should remain hidden because that adds more thrill and excitement for bitcoin. Because if he'll be transparent enough, the name Satoshi will never be as relevant as it is, and will never gain too much interest like it has done when Satoshi's identity as still unrevealed. So no matter what he's currently into right now, his name still matters a lot to bitcoin and the bitcoin community. And I think that's a lot better and safer that way, than to let Satoshi unveiled his real image and shock the whole crypto community, and eventually put him and his family in real danger.

[Shishir99]

Just forget about the quantum FUD, and you are good to go. We have been hearing this for a long time. I don't think quantum computers are a threat to Bitcoin. Even if that is the case, I believe the developers will find a way to prevent quantum computers. I think I have seen a thread already about world-first quantum-resistant transactions, and the person claimed that the quantum computers won't be able to break this. So, I am more than sure that the developers will come up with solutions that won't allow quantum computers to break Bitcoin. So stay calm, and forget about the quantum FUD.

[Hispo]

Well, satoshi is just another human being like anyone of us, be probably had some plans for himself and his family and loved ones, so he decided to leave development of Bitcoin in the hands of his community and focus on whatever he had in mind. Besides, he knew that he stayed he could eventually become target of governments and corporations which are all in for centralization and custody of assets, specially banks.
I also believe he kind of underestimate the scope of his creation and thought it would continue to exist as a niche, and not as a global asset in which so many people and companies would end up investing in.

My best guess is Satoshi getting and earlier retirement from coding and cryptography and enjoying his personal fortune with his family.

A long time ago, I read a thread where a user started a topic referring to the fact that quantum computers will be a threat to Bitcoin security and its safety. At that time I started to do my research on it and got to know how powerful these computers will be. The good thing is that these computers do not have much intelligence or power at the current time, and they cannot damage Bitcoin. 

And some months back I was reading a statement shared by a big hand (whale). I don't remember his name accurately as of now, as it is now an old thing, but what I remember is that he was saying that quantum computers will not damage Bitcoin, and it will make Bitcoin more stronger as a result. How does anyone know what will happen in the future perfectly? Just like nobody knew that one day Bitcoin would be the biggest digital gold, and here I mean in this same way, no one can time it like quantum computers will damage Bitcoin or not, but the way it will be used will decide that. Will it damage the Bitcoin, or will it make it more stronger. What do you say?

" Bitcoin is in good Hands" : How appropriate is this statement for quantum computers?

That bitcoin is in good hands can mean a lot of things but particularly, what it will mean most is that The people are now in charge of their asset and by that, it's safe to say that bitcoin is in safe hands. The whole essence of bitcoin is that the people gets full control of Thier money and as long as satoshi sees that the vision he has for bringing bitcoin into reality has come to materialisation, it's going to give him an high level of happiness.

He's done his part by bringing bitcoin into existence, as long as he's set the right structure in place that keeps bitcoin running without him, it's safe and ideal if he decides to step out of the picture knowing that with or without him bitcoin will still survive.

Satoshi Nakamoto have everything to do with bitcoin and he already play his part and believing the project to be in safe hands. He's anonymous till today and none of us have seen or know what he looks like. But for sure, he got to be a man that we're sure about. Bitcoin have grown to be one of the best project in crypto and many have waited for the project to dump but the more they wait, the more it keep rising and making good sense to everyone, Bitcoin is definitely not going to dump just like other projects in the market.

I've learn about Bitcoin and the controls of the project, the huge influence that comes with it. Bitcoin comes first before other crypto projects and it's ranking number one on the charts. We do get it and in my possible initiatives, everyone wants a piece of the pie.
