Satoshi Nakamoto is a time traveler

[stryker]

This is the only thing that makes sense, think about it, I don't care how informed you are there is no way you could make so many decisions in the design and early days of bitcoin that eventually panned out to be right just by chance 

If this is true, take for instance how he asked wikileaks to not use bitcoin for donations a few years back http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/09/16/i_saved_bitcoin_and_the_perfect_draft_of_history_says_assange/

Look at how the reward system for mining has panned out, look at what its achieved.

Look at how mass adoption is taking off just at the right time...

The more you look at the fine details and the events over the last few years the more you find yourself thinking "wow that was lucky", or "hey that worked out nice".
See? 

I think satoshi has not disappeared, he's just gone back home "whenever" that is.... probably to enjoy his lil stash of bitcoins... 2020 maybe?

Who knows Bitcoin is as revolutionary as time travel can be.

Just because you were ignorant of all the economic and technical brainstorming lead up to Bitcoin, over the course of decades, doesn't mean Satoshi was a time traveller.

"I think this stryker dude's onto me."

or

Cannibalizing the Aeon, Satoshi single-handedly advanced Human computer technology to the point where innovations such as the internet, laptops, barcode readers and Bitcoin were commonplace and taken for granted. Using the notoriety and bitcoins which came along with introducing these technologies, Satoshi constructed a corporate empire called "Bitropolis."

[Farisr9k]

I agree with you. I think he saw it that the world is going to welcome a online currency more than fiat.

[stuartcharles]

Explains why he hasn't cashed any in yet!

[zolace]

so is this post about him going to in cryogenic and getting frozen?  I honlesty think since are technology is always going double the speed in a few years, we might pass on from bitcoin to something else after bitcoin gets one more rise.

Well, Nikola Tesla had just as much insight into potential future impacts of certain techs and had comparable levels of impact on the world with his inventions (he could have had a lot more impact if he werent drowned by capitalism, eg his free electricity transmitter).
Tesla never claimed to be a TT, so if human genius can be as capable as he was, then I think Bitcoin could be achieved by a similar person without the need to 'know' the future.

That said I hope he is a TT, its way more interesting and also that way he less likely to spend his coins for a loong while:)



The other thing about TT is that it begs lots of questions i love to think about:
is TT not regulated in the future? Was [t]{s}he[y]* a lone shark traveler just out to make themselves rich with pre-mining?
If TT is regulated or not, why didnt * go back and kill hitler or some other mass monster(s)?
Why not prevent lots of senseless deaths by inventing earthquake detectors or leaving more benevolent tech?
If * are just out to get rich, why not do something that is more likely to survive into the future like buy gold at 1$ per ounce(gold has stood longer test of time so far, BTC could be made illegal still in an unknown timeline - I guess this person cant be from a tooo distant future then)?
What other inventions were given to humanity without knowing who * is/are? If this is a solo actor acting illegally, how did they get away with it? Surely they can detect ST distortions?

Maybe * illegally travelled back, pre-mined enough to get rich without intending to return to their original time for fear of getting busted - but that would mean the BTC value gets high enough in this lifetime, and adoption gets widescale enough that * can withdraw them without causing a price crash, OR widespread enough that * can just live off spending them...

Now you got me thinking:p

As much as it could be possible I don't see it happening to be honest. I have said it before and will continue to do so. If Satoshi wants to remain anonymous then I feel he should. Don't get me wrong I get that people are going to be curious and have their theories and that is fine but we may never know the truth.

[chek2fire]

I think is a AI from the future. There is more easy way data to travel in time than a human body.

[stryker]

The thread is in jest of course, I was using it to illustrate the odds I perceive when I *try* and think of all the things that could of gone wrong.... I mean look at all the alt-coins, don't say they fail because bitcoin is here or first to market etc, it can't be that simple?!? .... I suspect there has been no great success amongst them because they've simply not got everything "just so"...

[bornil267645]

well if he is, then he must have seen something terrible in the future, otherwise he would have revealed himself...

This. Superstition is the end of reason. You know, the intellectual difference between a person of median IQ and a chimpanzee is actually less than the difference between a person of median IQ and a genius (150+ stanford-binet IQ). Consider the implications - Satoshi is almost a different species of primate from average folk.

[spazzdla]

Satoshi could be a man like Tesla.. that would amazing for us.  Men like Tesla come around once every 100 years.

[Mowcore]

He could only go back in time if he had access to a "time travel" machine pre 2009. We all know this is fact.

[nor9865]

I'm sure he is not a time traveler. Time travel is impossible. What I'm sure of is Satoshi has very advance mind and can predict the future.

I don't think so. The idea of decentralized network at its core was the real innovation, and that wasn't Satoshi. That came from the developers of the HTTP protocol back in the early 90s.

The public ledger itself already existed in the form of torrent technology. Satoshi only built upon that already-existing technological foundation, adding encryption and solving the Byzantine General's problem.

Brilliant? yes, perhaps even genius. But Satoshi is certainly standing on the shoulders of giants.

evan if i told you it was me you wouldn[t believe it 

[Soccruo]

This would be a nice story to tell but all we know that it's impossible

[arxwn]

Bitcoin creation was indeed evolutionary, if you follow the crypto papers from the 90's you can see the trend (i did after the fact).
The Bitcoin adoption was revolutionary, people are longing for this technology and we haven't seen nothing yet
