Topic: guess satoshi's nationality (Read 2119 times)
It would be nice to know that's he from a small country which isn't very big on internet technology.
I think he is from Korea.
What makes you think that?
I have no flippin idea, to be honest. He didn't really leave behind many clues.
I think he is from Korea.
Japanese for sure, the name tells it all.
The guy is totally anonymous. You think he will choose a name that narrows down the possibilities so much?
Japanese for sure, the name tells it all.
Japanese for sure.
LOL, what makes you say that? IMO, he just took a name. Nothing he said or did indicates that he is Japanese. And we know he is not Dorian!
Japanese for sure.
I think He is from JAPAN.
I think he is from England. He wrote in similar ways that the British write.
He is from murica
Chinese.
He picked a japonese name, so no one would believe his true nationality

He is Irish

Given the almost austere elegance of BTC code base, he is definitely Japanese or German
He is most Definitely a Jap,
Japanese, duh! 
Pretty tough. He hid any cultural mannerisms pretty well.

Satoshi artificial intelligent that comes from the future. Created by four tech companies SAmsung, TOSHIba, NAKAmichi and MOTOrola to save Earth from impending worst financial crisis that would happen between 2020's to 2030's.
This make sense.

It is a team funded by NSA or FBI.
With his flawless English, he could be British or American.
Why I can't vote? I'm not newbie or anything...
That's weird. I can't seem to be able to vote either. Perhaps the poll has been locked.
Multinational corporate.

i don't think a corporation invented bitcoin. There hasn't really been any companies that have profited off of it that much. *moved to Off-Topic.
I would vote for nordic(sweeden-norway-finland)
Why I can't vote? I'm not newbie or anything...
Don't forget nakamoto
But seriously, name tells us nothing.

Probably japanese, considering his name, although he probably wouldn't use his real name as a creator of this type of thing. I think maybe he's american other than his name.
He took Japanese name but this doesn't mean he id from Japan.
He can be Japanese in USA, UK, any other country...
Also, we can't know if this is just one person or group of people, even can be some corporation.
Probably we will never discover his true identity.
I think there is a good chance that he is Japanese for these same reasons, however I think he lived in the US as he posted at times when people in the US would be expected to be awake. He can be Japanese in USA, UK, any other country...

your all wrong. he is the INTERNET.

An Indian or Filipino.
Maybe he is Japanese and I think he is totally proud being a Japanese, If he is Filipino or Indian he would use a nickname that would sound like an Indian or Filipino.
Filipinos use Spanish names though, so a Filipino might be confused for a Spaniard or Mexican.

1 - Joseph Conrad learned english at the 30's and is one of the biggest english writters. Anyone can learn english to perfection, and there are schools that teach the brithsh english. Or it could be only a distraction.
2 - Most of scientific papers will quote papers all around the world, so it means nothing.
I think he means that he chose a Times of London article as a proof of date for his genesis block:
Quote
"The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks," serves as Satoshi’s choice to time stamp for the block chain as basic proof that he could not have made the first block before January 3, 2009.
He did also use the phrase "bloody hard" in one of his posts which is not a typical American phrase. Doesn't mean that he's British though. He could be a Canadian or an Australian, or even a New Zealander. Or it could all just be a ruse designed to further conceal his identity.
I have a feeling he is a Japanese mathematician.

I think satoshi is not one man, I think satoshi is made of a team from different nationalities but mostly Caucasians.
I think he is European, but not from the UK. That's because his creation is in fact very anti-bank and freedom oriented. That kind of mindset is very strong in some European countries (stronger than in the US, UK or Japan).
His English is very good, so I would assume that he is not from southern Europe. Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Netherlands, and Germany would be the most realistic countries in terms of both language and mindset.
ya.ya.yo!

I don't know, I guess he's some liberal from the US who wanted to create the perfect currency for liberals around the world!
Why there's no Japanese option? I'd say this is the most obvious pick 
What if he has more than 1 nationality?
