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

[X-ray]

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

Just because satoshi is moving on from bitcoin to other thing, doesn't mean he's moving onto other things deemed valuable than bitcoin. Maybe he's done developing bitcoin because he considered it to be perfect already and let the community take over.

Since it's been decades already after satoshi sent that message, isn't it plausible to say that satoshi isn't developing anything new? It's far too long of a time gap for satoshi to be coming out and present new things to the public.

Bitcoin is an independent asset now, Satoshi knew there's nothing more to do to better BTC experience than what it is now, the world has recognized the market value globally accepted as means trade, exchange and financial documentation. Satoshi should move to other things moreover is identity is yet to unveiled to what next.

[Livingleged]

Well me i think he made the statement just because he looked at it in way that he has completely solved the problem of centralised spending and if he is there or not the system will not stop working the only thing that can pause the system is probably if all the nodes are short down somehow but we all know that thats not happening at all. but even it it’s just one node running it will still carry out every other transaction and that was the greatest achievement in decentralisation.

That's the most logical take he built the foundation and left, a perfect, self sustaining system shouldn't need its creator, if he was going to drop a "Bitcoin 2.0," he'd have done it by now the silence speaks volumes

Well, dear, I believe that we just can speculate about this, as there are many statements and threads like this already being discussed here on the forum. So, let's just talk about it and make some guesses, haha. Well, dear, as far as I remember, and I have read that statement somewhere, but I don't remember exactly, he once said that "Bitcoin is now in safe hands." Maybe he was saying that he handed it to the other best developer, and maybe he was referring to us loving the idea and technology that stand behind Bitcoin's purpose when it comes to trading publicly.

So there is no doubt we will keep reading such speculative statements in the coming time as well. As the owner itself has vanished for too long a time and quite as if he was never there, haha. This is my point of view. What do you think about it? CMIIW! And you must share your point of view with me.

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?

Satoshi Nakamoto has exhibited an altitude that shows that he has so many things to do and achieve and creating a system whenre people can no longer depend on fiat currency for daily activities is a genius move. Bitcoin has created opportunities for us and has liberated us from the greediness of the government officials using their power to attack their opposition parties so they can not longer have the means to go for their day to day activities. Satoshi has changed the world financial system through Bitcoin and from their we have been seeing so many altcoins coming out making cryptocurrency to become an investment nitch.

bitcoin is in good hands was his mic drop trusting the code and community to handle whatever comes

[Odogwu-Blockchain]

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.

It got me wondered why OP included quantum computers into the topic, I dont care if Satoshi's statement was against or for Bitcoin, so long as bitcoin is still running smoothly till today, whatever statement he made is beneficial to the development of the asset. Anyway, in my language, its been said 'An unexecuted rumor cant affect the hearer anymore' meaning, quantum computer thread cant destroy bitcoin because there must always be a way of preventing its effects whenever it comes.

How would Satoshi "save" bitcoin by re-appearing? There's already ways to combat quantum computers. And one of the main strengths of Bitcoin is that Satoshi disappeared.

People are obviously is putting too much weight in Satoshi as some kind of savior with all the answers. So bitcoin would be forever centralized around him.

And by appearing and giving proof of life, i am assuming that many people would panic sell it because of fear of Satoshi finally dumping his stash.

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

What i understand from this statement of his is that bitcoin will not have any problems again and to how far he has come with the development of bitcoin, it will continue to progress and not have anything happen to it that it will be controlled by a single entity or just groups of people, it will remain as decentralized as we have always thought of it. I have never for once thought about him moving to other things that may be better than bitcoin if he finds any or working on it already. This was what that statement means to me and have hold on to that particular idea as the true meaning of what he said in that statement.

Thats the healthy way to see it, He gave us a finished foundational protocol his silence since then reinforces that it was a true exit, not a pivot the statement was a blessing to let go and let the network evolve on its own which it has

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

Satoshi never made any statement regarding what he wanted to do after going anonymous. I doubt if what he wants to do is more valuable than Bitcoin, even though Satoshi never knew Bitcoin would be this valuable.

Does he mean that if he later discovers something more valuable than Bitcoin, he will present himself to the public?

That is our earnest desire, to see Satoshi back. Although I still think remaining anonymous would be best for him and best for Bitcoin and anyother things he finds himself doing.

What are reasons behind Satoshi Nakamoto's decision to leave the Bitcoin forum and the Bitcoin community were not mentioned in his email to Gavin Andresen. Additionally, his vague writings to Gavin Andresen are interesting for speculation and with a person who is known with his good practice for his privacy and anonymity, it makes sense that he did not mention about what he plans to do next after the departure in details.

Whatever he has spent his time after the departure would be meaningful for his personal interests and for the community as well. His completely departure is a very big gift for Bitcoin community, as it actually makes Bitcoin is a more decentralized project without a founder around from opinions, development ideas and programming contributions as well as any risk of arrest by government.

[pooya87]

especially when he announced that he was moving others things..

It is worth mentioning that you are not quoting Satoshi, you are quoting someone else who was quoting what was said to him in private by Satoshi.

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

Where? Into hiding. Considering how CIA was looking into Bitcoin and even brought one of the developers (Gavin) in for interrogation, it is not unlikely to assume Satoshi was concerned about his personal safety and the future of Bitcoin. So he went into hiding instead of continuing and risk having his identity leak.

Does he mean that if he later discovers something more valuable than Bitcoin, he will present himself to the public?

That sounds like a scam shitcoin ad

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?

These two lines are contradictory. Satoshi is not the "savior" he was a genius inventor. There are a lot of good developers who have been working on Bitcoin and will be able to battle any future challenges as well.

The information about invitation of CIA to Gavin Andresen is a hidden information with many people.
Here is the official announcement by Gavin Andresen about that.
Gavin will visit the CIA.

satoshi was last active on the forum at December 13, 2010, 04:45:41 PM and his last email to Gavin Andresen was sent at 26 Apr 2011, 10:29.

Gavin Andresen announced his coming visit to CIA at April 27, 2011, 07:00:26 PM, only about one day after Satoshi Nakamoto last message to Bitcoin community and completely disappeared since then.

Yes Satoshi was extremely careful regarding privacy, and it is only natural that he did not give any reason or any future plan in his final emails because he was mostly interested in remaining hidden. Some of people agree with you that his leaving was big gift since it made Bitcoin truly decentralized. When there is no founder around, community must make their own decisions and there is no one for government to arrest and pressure to change rules. His silence made Bitcoin not small project, but worldwide system where nobody has control over, but in case he ever took 1.1 million Bitcoin in his wallet today, it would be huge excitement and concern.
