This would underestimate the potential of Bitcoin. Better is to award new innovations in the field of cryptocurrency by Satoshi Prize instead of Noble Prize.

I order to be eligible they need to know who the hell Satoshi is.That's one downside of anonymity.

To be fair, the blue LED is a very significant innovation.

Gavin responded to my question regarding this on Twitter...

Here is what Gavin had to say :: https://twitter.com/gavinandresen/statuses/412442760612810752

[Foxpup]

The five Nobel Prizes are awarded for outstanding contributions in the fields of physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and work for peace. Bitcoin is not an outstanding contribution in any of those fields, and therefore Satoshi does not deserve a Nobel Prize.

[SilenceDogreat]

The five Nobel Prizes are awarded for outstanding contributions in the fields of ... work for peace.

Gandhi never received one either. 
Henry Kissinger did though.

[BitCoinNutJob]

Agree with gavin on this one a far greater validation would be the world using bitcoin as the #1 means of transaction.

[Foxpup]

Gandhi never received one either. 

He was nominated 5 times though.

Henry Kissinger did though.

For the Paris Peace Accords. Which didn't actually accomplish much, but who's fault is that?

[chenka563]

i agree with you,but others?

When the Nobel Prize Fund was created, there was no cryptocurrency yet. So it doesn't fall into any category of Nobel Prise awarding. If bitcoin serves the interests of Nobel Prize, the foundation should consider to add this category.

[Q7]

Yeah but first we have to find out his real identity. Probably a nobel prize that comes with 10 mil cash reward will make him change his mind?

There is zero reason to create a special category for cryptocurrency  ,its contribution to humanity is moot at best regardless of the the sentiments on this forum.

[Aemon]

That would involve the group of people known as Satoshi coming out of hiding and claiming they did it ,which will never happen so unfortunately its a long shot

[commandrix]

I haven't had a lot of respect for the Nobel prize since Al Gore got one for a stupid slide show. It can sometimes take decades for somebody to be recognized. The dude who cloned a frog had to wait fifty years, and then when they called him, he thought it was a joke. So let's not get too eager to petition the Nobel Prize people to recognize Satoshi Nakamoto.

The Nobel Peace Prize( the one that Al Gore won) had always been a joke.We've got warmongers , terrorist and mass murderers won that prize before.One guy even got one on the merit of not being George Fucking W. Bush for crying out loud!


The selection for the other Nobel prizes however are quite solid both the prize and the recipients deserves the respect they got.My only gripe is that they don't offer posthumous rewards( Rosalind Franklin deserves one IMO)

One day Bitcoin will receive its full credit. We may be a few years away from that yet, although.

Ciao!

(+1 for the petition!)

[nomasters55]

once bitcoin becomes a global currency,there will be no wars,since wars are started by the banksters in wall street.
so Satoshi deserves a nobel peace prize

[hellojpg]

sathoshi ith a god amung men he ith above human trophys and awards.... he merely released the code of the gods on a whim to balence the world of good and evil....

control must be maintained there most always be good and evol.

[bornil267645]

Well he should be given the nobel prize in all the sector, because

1. Physics: He invented "How to make fiat disappear"

2. Chemistry: He invented "How to make fiat neutral molecules"

3. Medicine: He invented "How to sleep well medicine without the fear of loosing your money"

4. Literature: He quoted "The poetry of cryptocurrency"

5. Peace: He put away the Bankers

What more do you want !!!!

Awesome..I think they should give one for you too..

[saver]

aha, good!but first you have to find out who he is,
may be an announcement of Nobel Prize would make him public, I really want to meet me in person.

[galaxyhero]

Nobel Prize is possible only after you find out who the Satoshi really is

[JeffDeChesare]

They can just name it in his name and put dat in white house that might actually work. 

[Sutters Mill]

They usually only give the Nobel Peace Prize to War Criminals and teenage girls these days.

I do wonder if a person or persons who is anoymous can win it. Maybe Time Magazine will give him Person of the Year onetime.

[hopey]

John Nash allreay got Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences

[RICHBOSS]

Lol.. Satoshi Nakamoto award.

[Febo]

Satoshi don't need the prize, he is rich already.  We could petition that i won it. I do help with telling people on this forum how things should be. So yes i am helpful for Bitcoin. And i never saw Norway. I could go there to collect this prize.

Petition me. o/

Bankers are worst possible criminals in the world right now. So I really hope they should give him a recognition for putting away the bankers.

[keackh]

Clearly, he deserves to receive a nobel prize for offering us this currency that allows to control our own property!

Nobel prize is not just money man, its most significant benefits are prestige, knowledge around the globe and proud!

and therefore Satoshi does not deserve a Nobel Prize.

Well he does deserve a prize.

keep it low!

[traincarswreck]

Satoshi's whitepaper might not quite be enough to win every upcoming Nobel prize, however we might be able to put together a team of deserving peoples.  A very important linking paper by Nick Szabo formulating Adam Smith meticulous observations of the history of our economy:

Metcalfe's Law states that a value of a network is proportional to the square of the number of its nodes.  In an area where good soils, mines, and forests are randomly distributed, the number of nodes valuable to an industrial economy is proportional to the area encompassed.  The number of such nodes that can be economically accessed is an inverse square of the cost per mile of transportation.  Combine this  with Metcalfe's Law and we reach a dramatic but solid mathematical conclusion: the potential value of a land transportation network is the inverse fourth power of the cost of that transportation. A reduction in transportation costs in a trade network by a factor of two increases the potential value of that network by a factor of sixteen. While a power of exactly 4.0 will usually be too high, due to redundancies, this does show how the cost of transportation can have a radical nonlinear impact on the value of the trade networks it enables.  This formalizes Adam Smith's observations: the division of labor (and thus value of an economy) increases with the extent of the market, and the extent of the market is heavily influenced by transportation costs (as he extensively discussed in his Wealth of Nations).

Certainly this formalization and the entire works of Nick Szabo leading up to it must be a great consideration! http://szabo.best.vwh.net/

What's interesting is that it seems Adam Smith DOESN'T need revision (nor does it seem Nash or Szabo ever felt he did!) but just implementation and a conclusion extension"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbNMTbcuitA

How does such a movie contain a poorly explained thesis of the subject and what is the significance (http://serc.carleton.edu/sp/library/media/examples/example2.html):

This scene is must viewing even though the scene itself contains flawed economics (explaining why the scene is NOT a Nash equilibrium helps students learn the concept in greater depth).

Especially when the man himself was present:


But we mustn't forget Dr. Nash as it was seemingly his observations that allowed for the extrapolation that become bitcoin (Ideal Money: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_money):

It was the observation of a new “line" that has become popular with those responsible for “central banking" functions relating to national currencies that gave us the idea for the study of “asymptotically Ideal" money.

The idea seems paradoxical, but by speaking of “inflation targeting" these responsible officials are effectively CONFESSING that, notwithstanding how they formerly were speaking about the difficulties and problems of their functions, that it is indeed after all possible to control inflation by controlling the supply of money (as if by limiting the amount of individual “prints" that could be made of a work of art being produced as “prints")

This observation lead to the concept of "Asymptotically Ideal Money":

So here is the possibility of “asymptotically ideal money". Starting with the idea of value stabilization in relation to a domestic price index associated with the territory of one state, beyond that there is the natural and logical concept of internationally based value comparisons. The currencies now being compared, like the dollar, the yen, the pound, the swiss franc, the swedish kronor, etc. can be viewed with critical eyes by their user and by those who may have the option of whether or not or how to use one of them. This can lead to pressure for good quality and consequently for a lessened rate of inflationary depreciation in value.

And it was ultimately Nash that called the coming of this "money printing" revolution:

There perhaps will always be “politics", like also “death and taxes". But it is sometimes remarkable how political contexts can evolve. And in relation to that I think that it is possible that “Keynesians" are like a political faction that will become less influential as a result of political evolution.

And this parallel makes it seem not implausible that a process of political evolution might lead to the expectation on the part of citizens in the “great democracies" that they should be better situated to be able to understand whatever will be the monetary policies which, indeed, are typically of great importance to citizens who may have alternative options for where to place their “deposits".

What is the relationship of Szabo to Dr. Nash, or is there one? http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2lf6k1/a_box_without_hinges_key_or_lid_yet_golden/

Actually, the peace prize would be perfectly appropriate for bitcoin. All previous forms of worldwide money (government-issued promissory notes) were backed by violence, bitcoin is the first backed instead by mathematics.

Great idea, wouldnt be surpised if Satoshi puts his btc in a fund like Nobel did, from which the winners will get paid in btc.

[jabo38]

He will get the Noble prize, not for Bitcoin, but for the blockchain which is much more important.

[jabo38]

Also if John Nash won the Noble prize for game theory, then Satoshi can win one for blockchain.

[traincarswreck]

Perhaps I am off topic in a satoshi nobel thread, but I should point out... in my studies, many people adore dr. nash.  and it is strange...but we have all seem to have seen his life's movie, not that it is entirely accurate, but most people I know have seen it, and recall seeing it from some time ago.

[Hiraga]

Bitcoin can play a role in fighting poverty, on the long term.

I hope Satoshi will spend his bitcoins well, first it needs a marketcap in the trillions I guess to really have effect.

[Light]

The five Nobel Prizes are awarded for outstanding contributions in the fields of physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and work for peace.

While obviously they can't give him a Nobel per se in those official five fields, if they would ever give him one it would be probably be the 'Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences' which is awarded by the same people who award the Nobels for Chem and Phys. But, that is assuming they're willing to give it to someone who is considered to be anonymous...

[themys]

A Nobel prize for this amazing invention! why not?!

[remotemass]

[cellard]

A Nobel prize for this amazing invention! why not?!

I don't think the institutions running that price understand what the hell Bitcoin is tbh.

Plus Satohi would never go to get the price in person

Firstly, it's too early. BitCoin has to grow and become more popular.
Secondly, Satoshi Nakamoto is anonymous, so it would be hard to give him a nobel prize

#1- Satoshi is more than 1 person

This isn't a problem. We saw lots of "collective" Nobel prizes in these last years.

Ciao!

[bigasic]

Dont they give one for economics or something similar? John Nash won one with his game theory, so you would think it would fit in the same category.

[bluemountain]

Yes, the economics nobel prize is one of the more "major" prize they give out and is, IMO, the most valuable nobel prize. I would say that if it were possible to give an anonymous person such as satoshi a nobel prize then he would likely win one in economics. However I highly doubt that he would come forward to claim his prize. 

[cuddaloreappu]

I agree with you

would be good to have 1st anonymous nobel haha
