Topic: Greg Maxwell is now the owner of Bitcoin. That's all. - page 2. (Read 5080 times)
Yep.. that's my thought too... The thread has a kind of bad premise, even if Maxwell has quite a bit of influence, he only has influence as long as he is making sense to convince others to go along with whatever he happens to be proposing to do or not do.
The OP is just trying to imply that Gmaxwell is calling the shots in how and where to bring and steer Bitcoin's development. What the OP did not think of is that the miners must first achieve and have consensus if the changes be accepted and be implemented or not. So if Bitcoin was forked from the Core developers by the Bitcoin Unlimited fellows, can we say that Roger Ver now owns Bitcoin?
A lot of news stating that there was someone who dominated the bitcoin, if so, surely they can do speculation and full control. But when prices go up they are not attempting to sell even though profit was more than 300%. I think it is just an opinion, rise and fall of the price of the bitcoin I noticed was natural, not domination by someone.
Can I buy bitcoins and then sell whenever I want or not? can the imaginary owner of bitcoin withdraw coins from any wallet?
Bitcoin with or without an owner still is traded and can be mined.
Who owns dollar? besides the US government having the power to print them literally anyone holding any amount owns the dollar, makes any sens now?
About the hard fork I think the best thing is to inform the community first and even post a sticky topic in main forum section with a poll to gather a few thousands votes at the very least, because people will never trust the system again if the decision made by a few experts and developers only.

I do not think seriously about the owners of bitcoin bitcoin as long as it does not significantly affect bitcoin itself. I just found out about their owners bitcoin
whether there is a link?

No one owns Bitcoin right?
Not until the patents are settled. ROFL
Nice joke, or is it?

This is all so complicated. I've been reading through the comments here. If indeed Maxwell does create his hard fork, what happens? Do we have two kinds of bitcoin or do we still have the same thing but somethings changes? What happens to the bitcoins in my wallet right now? Can someone point me to an infographic about or a document describing this fork we are all talking about? 
As I said recently, the owner of Bitcoin doesn't have to be Satoshi Nakamoto - that's just a made up name (you can choose just any two names you want and create something while you're going to be anonymous all the time). I was sure about that and still am, I mean.. The guy who created Bitcoin seems to be hiding away from the public.

Of course it's bullshit, everyone knows the real owner of Bitcoin is Stephen Mollah
Even the "Decentralised Patent Office" (wow much official) acknowledges him as Satoshi
nobody owns bitcoin
When you search BITCOIN TECHNOLOGY LIMITED on the Companies House site, apart from the fact that it was dissolved in May 2016, it also shows the owner's name as Stephen MOLLAH and a list of grand sounding bitcoin related limited companies.
Search Stephen Mollah a bit deeper and you find this site

Not possible for 1 person to "own" bitcoin. This is more paranoia than anything. Cant believe I clicked on the post.
You dove right into that one didn't you.
Good thing this wasn't actually a puddle.
That might of hurt.

What do you mean by owner? If he’s the owner of bitcoin so then all my bitcoin which I’ve been working hard to get belongs to him too huh? Or do you mean that he is the one who is controlling all the bitcoin in the world? As far as I know that no one control it, you only can have some impact on it. So a topic with that title and one-word post doesn’t really persuade me.
Of course "the owner of bitcoin" is obvious nonsense of the same style as "the owner of English" or "the emperor of gravity".
Perhaps the guy has substantial influence on the open-source bitcoin node software project known as "core"?
Well that's fine by me.
The guy has demonstrated intellectual leadership including patience with us retards on bitcointalk and our infantile questions for nearly a decade, and appears to be motivated to educate us, you know, like any sane literate person would do. And he hasn't demonstrated himself clearly senile or infantile, though perhaps with time he will crack, who knows.
As far as reputation goes (which shouldn't be that far other than as a guide to get you started), the guy is in my book one of the best in understanding bitcoin related crypto. This makes him influential? Yes. Dangerous? Not at all. He pushes some nonsense into Core and that shit will be dumped faster than lightning.
You don't like core? Then go use another client already. I know you're used to fiat slavery but there's no owner here. Take responsibility and just go ahead and do what you need to do.

Is he threatening to do something against the majority's desire and or interest?
Does the recent late confirms has anything to do with this?
