Topic: If Satoshi is not dead, what is he doing? - page 3. (Read 1129 times)

Exactly, not unless if he still sound familiar by using some technical words then people here can suspect that account very easy. Also anyone can still access the forum without needing to register or login to an account, so if someone is really conscious about his privacy then they can just browse the forum anonymously but yeah, why are we going to chase satoshi? What can we get after knowing his true identity?

I think that will only be a  waste of time for us. Bitcoin is not in trouble and even the price dumps a lot, I don't think the creator will care. What he know is that he already did his job and it's now up to us if how do we use his creation.

Watching movies

Hahaha. We may have different opinions on the matter, but I believe that someone is indeed wrong on the internet.

Another reason I believe why Satoshi would never ever reveal his real identity is, he might be working for a technology company when he was coding the first implementations of Bitcoin. Isn't there a law that says any software, or invention you develop while under employment in a company will automatically give the patents/rights of that software/invention to that company?

:-(


Your conclusion (“nobody knows this”) is correct, but your line of reasoning is not.  Satoshi inserted into the coinbase of Block 0 the famous newspaper headline, “The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks”—a real headline about real-world events, from a real-world newspaper of which there are extant original hardcopies.  In the overall circumstance, this is strong evidence that Satoshi did not premine anything before 3 January 2009.



Furthermore, Hal attested that he did some mining starting around “block 70-something”.  Thus, there were multiple known miners almost straight from the beginning—and the software was published and announced in well-known cryptography venues (starting with a mailing list that I myself used to subscribe to and read regularly), so anyone could have been mining anonymously.

But that is beside the point here.

The user who claimed that “we all know he has close to 1 Million of bitcoins” is spreading an urban legend.  I could excuse a newbie who just heard something dumb in the mass-media; but there is no excuse for a 2014-registered account to be spreading this trash.  Nobody but Satoshi knows how many coins Satoshi mined.  There is a very large quantity of 2009-era coins apparently/probably from a unique source, the so-called “Patoshi” coins; the technical evidence suggests that they are probably not Satoshi’s, although nobody can prove that, either.

Unfortunately, that is probably a popular belief.  People often project onto others their own desires to be a celebrity, like a movie star.  And this type of fallacious thinking opens the way for imposters like CSW:  Imposters exploit the widespread assumption that of course, if Satoshi is alive, he will reveal himself!  


Good point, but...

It doesn't matter what Satoshi is doing now and everyone should just be happy that he blessed the world with the concept of the blockchain. Decentralized currency is a radical idea which still has many improvements to come, efforts should be spent on that rather than trying to track down an elusive founder who clearly doesn't have any interest in publicity for whatever reason. If they have not surfaced by now, it's highly likely that they will never surface again and frankly that adds to part of the charm. Somebody out their put the project infront of their own selfish desire to gain fame, which is surprisingly rare in the current age where everyone is desperately trying to become the next big D-list "celebrity".

Are you serious? He was gone when Gavin Andresen went to the CIA. Simply no. Satoshi made sure to have a few extra steps to hide his real identity. He probably changed the style he wrote code, talked to himself with different accounts in the forum, and changed his writing style. He would have also destroyed his own reputation.


Satoshi did.

Even if he's having a look on the forum from some alt account we can't know it because he knows how to maintain his anonymity so we don't need to worry about these things at all and live him wherever he is and use bitcoin with the normal routine.

Who knows Satoshi might be there somewhere and observing everyone? Or he is one among your friends. As no one has really known or seen who was Satoshi, or even Satoshi was a group of people or not, makes everyone curious.
Nevertheless we should allow him live his life peacefully, and enjoy his greatest invention.
I guess Satoshi had made a revolutionary change for which people will be always greatful to him.
We all are Satoshi Nakamoto 

If he is alive and has chosen to go, there is no reason for him to use another account to follow us. Well, it seems like there will never be an end to the hunt for him, so I hope he never returns to the forum or makes an appearance anywhere, because that puts him in grave danger.
13 years have passed he is still silent and bitcoin has gone through many ups and downs but in the end, bitcoin overcame them all. Once again, whether he is alive or not, I would like to express my deep gratitude to him.

What do you think he is doing? Eating, sleeping and working. I guess leading a normal life like every other human being in this world and is super rich.

It is very likely that he do sometimes visit the forum like very rarely and see what's going on and how things are progressing. I don't think he would make an alt account. I bet when he said he leaves it to the community, he really did and won't interfere in any way.

But still doesn't matter if he dead or alive (i mean I would be glad if he is alive lol), visiting the forum or not, has an alt account or not, it won't change anything.

Whoever Satoshi might be, he will never leave the bitcoin space as long as he is alive. Satoshi is seriously into crypto (bitcoin especially). The difference is that he is not in this space as Satoshi but some other names you don't know. The internet  persona called Satoshi is the one chilling, the real Satoshi isn't chilling, he is probably doing what he is passionate about, i. e Bitcoin.

It is very rare to have a creation like Bitcoin and leave it totally. He withdrew the Satoshi factor for his safety and unnecessary panics, but Satoshi is with us.

If he is following the updates till now with an alt account which is highly unlikely, he would come revealed himself rather than monitoring everything behind closed doors. He chose to remain silent and as long as he wants to be in that space, there is no point in discussing about him coming back as the project has moved on in his absence for a decade and but i understand that the hunt for finding out the creator will never end .

Let's be honest, is it really that the guy is resting or the guy doesn't stay even a second without getting worried about someone knocking on his door to say: " hahaha will I finally reveal your identity?". when the person lies and lives hiding some secret, the person hardly lives in peace, the person is always hiding from the world, he always doesn't sleep properly, he always has to do things that don't attract attention. the person has no peace. no matter how many years pass the person has no peace and this is the worst nightmare, most of the time the person even gets very sick and dies


With so many people chasing him, do you believe he is at peace? the guy lives in hiding, how can anyone have peace when thousands of people every day are investigating to know his identity?

I don’t think it would still matter to us as to what Satoshi is currently doing. If he’s still alive, then he must still be following the progress in bitcoin, because that’s what made him great in the first place. While enjoying a good life with his own family, Satoshi must be happy and at peace where he is right now because he has been a great inspiration to everyone, especially for those who know about the brighter future of bitcoin and has been benefiting from it for so long.

Maybe he/she/them decided to keep their self or isolate him/her/them selves for security reasons. Irrespective of that Satoshi has provided us with a lifetime saver, because Bitcoin has change so many things in this world, and has provided us with an alternative currencies that give us the control over our entire wealth.

Bitcoin is much bigger than this forum nowadays.  In particular, most development work happens off-forum; there are some leading Bitcoin Core developers who don’t even have forum accounts, insofar as I am aware.  Satoshi could follow Bitcoin’s progress just fine, without ever even viewing this forum—unless, of course, he desires to read my posts.  :-)


To the contrary:  Satoshi Nakamoto is culturally forbidden from ever again using his own forum.

I hope Satoshi is doing well and enjoying his life the best he can. After all he deserves all the best for imagining, creating and delivering his invention to the world. I'm thankful for bitcoin and its existence in our living days.

It is a pleasure to be alive on these times, at the early days and years of bitcoin.

Satoshi Nakamoto is a name that created bitcoin history, without wanting any publicity for himself and remaining anonymous to this day. Whether there is satoshi or the creator of bitcoin today, bitcoin remains the origin of this forum and is the most valuable digital asset without being controlled or regulated by anyone.

Many claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto, as the inventor of bitcoin, but do you believe all that? only fools believe, the real satoshi remains anonymous and it is possible that he is currently enjoying his life without needing to brag about being the inventor of bitcoin. Privacy becomes more important than self-popularity. most importantly bitcoin is for the benefit of everyone, with its technology changing the future of the world.

The idea is that he doesn't have a centralized power to do anything, but he does have a huge huge huge influence. Hell even Elon has enough influence to change the prices a bit for some reason, have absolutely no clue why he does, but we can't deny that he does have that influence.

If Elon could say "Tesla sold all bitcoins it had" and drop the price, then I can assure that if Satoshi was alive or around, and he comes around and says "bitcoin failed my dream" or whatever, then we are going to see a much much bigger fall. Of course it is not going to happen because if he declined to talk so far, I have no reason to believe that he would do that now. Dude could have become the richest person alive, and didn't do anything about it.

I guess he might be living a simple life. He kept his personality private maybe because he wants to live in peace and harmony so I guess, he's living a simple yet providing his family's necessities because of Bitcoin. Well, we all have our own guesses since most of us are curious about him but wherever he is, it doesn't matter anymore because it's his personal choice to hide his identity from the public.
