Satoshi Nakamoto is a time traveler

[teemofie]

I have traveled through time to offer someone 10,000 BTC for two large pizzas.
PM me for details.

Congratulations sir! you have just won the internet!

So the story is that someone came from the future created  established bitcoin and went back to the future to get his/her big fat check.
Hell yeah, I would watch that film. Maybe add some apocalyptic scenario at the end like the Paycheck

No, I think Satoshi's "first" future was the apocalyptic world, that's why he travelled back in time. See, in Satoshi's timeline, Bitcoin hadn't been invented before the extremely violent fiat economic collapse. Billions were killed in the nuclear war that followed.

So he traveled back in time to invent bitcoin 30 years before the collapse, creating a new timeline free from the apocalypse of his childhood. Maybe throw some aliens in there just to mix it up.

But how could Bitcoins prevent this catastrophe?
MAybe Bitcoin will save world from Ebola?
Or from Global warming?
Or Aliens itself?

Anyone think that perhaps Satoshi passed away either naturally or by accident and that's why we haven't heard from him since?

Maybe he had a sort of Walter White experience and was given a few years left to live but instead of wanting to make a meth empire he wanted to create something truly amazing.

No one knew who he really was, so it could be possible that he was driving somewhere one day and was killed in a car crash, thus sealing his secret identity.

If he is dead, perhaps one day after an estate sale an archivist will be going through some old hard drives and find rough drafts of the white paper or even the stash of his mined coins.

Isn't that just British spelling?

[justinetime]

I don't care who is he, i thought he is genius and whoever use bitcoin must say thank you to him.

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.

He's not a time traveller!  All Satoshi did was time travel to 2009 to make BITCOIN!!!!  SHIAT!!!!

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.

Oh really?

Than why do we still have the same internet protocol and the same email protocol?

In fact money is the last of all things to get digitized. (I don't think credit cards and online transactions really count). And I think even if we will ever move away from bitcoin, the change will be slow. Money is not something you can just simply change within a year or two.

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 

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.

This is the best reply here!
Nick Szabo was talking about this stuff since the early 90s on his site.

There is a possibility that Satoshi Nakamoto is Gavin Andreson's higher self.

Good idea.
Or...
maybe he live on remote island, with his family, enjoying his life and don't care any more about world affairs.
Maybe, he is preparing something new, revolutionary etc.
Or he is alien from other galaxy...

Is Satoshi Nakamoto a person? I always feel it is a group and is not Japanese. How do you think? Is there anyone who has seen him? Or does this person really exist?

The genesis block of the blockchain that "Satoshi" started on 2009-01-03 includes a newspaper headline.  Its purpose was to prove that the blockchain was not not created before that date (which could give the creator certain unfair and potentially dangerous advantages over other miners.)  The headline is from the British newspaper "The Times", 2009-01-03.  The choice of a British newspaper could be a deliberate ruse to hide his location; but could also be the newspaper that he had at hand.

"Satoshi" could be a team, and perhaps a government team. The "completeness" of the design, with all conceivable problems solved in some way or another, reminds me of the Stuxnet virus.

This theory could explain why none of "Satoshi"'s known coins have been spent yet:  having been mined as part of their job, they are government's property and not "Satoshi"'s.

for me it looks like "Satoshi Nakamoto" is more an computer scientists than a mathematician (or both). he is familiar with core concepts of computer siences and coding. his communication style has a bit of a patriarch expert or a leader (in a practical way) something in the 30s/40s (he had an answer to everything source: bookofsatoshi.com). his communication is direct and straight forward so it reminds me more to a German or Japanese than an US American or Brit.

GMX is a one of the first and oldest Email provider in Germany. If I saw his Email address for the first time I was really surprised he used this as an official Email address.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GMX_Mail

so he could be a German CS professor but for this he is not greedy enough. or did he destroy the private keys of the minted blocks to prevent himself to get in temptation?

the communication with Gavin Andresen immediately stopped as Gavin asked how to handle a request of the iqt.org. maybe this was the time he realized that it will becomes a huge thing.

if the thesis tends to the truth the main timeframe of his Emails should be an European or Asia timezone not a US timezone.
