I think the creator deserves every penny for such a fantastic concept...
I highly doubt Satoshi is even his real name!
It looks to me like he's used a fake name, he's used tor for all his identifiable things, and used an anonymous email provider, and now he's disappeared off the face of the earth! Good on him! Nothing wrong with a bit of enigma... Gets us all talking doesn't it?
He's probably just avoiding public warfare.

True. Maybe he didn't want to end up like Julian Assange.

BREAKING: Satoshi Nakamoto arrested on rape charges. Large stash of 'Bitcoins' found in his room. Nakamoto denies they exist. Arraignment Monday.

Are you 100% sure that he didn't sell it yet?
And the question in this topic is somehow stupid. If it was benefiting only creator of Bitcoin, then we wouldn't be here.

It's creator deserves to be rewarded don't you think? Just like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg , and all the other Internet giants are being rewarded today?

No I don't think so. Who the fuck are you to decide who is deserving of wealth and who isn't?

I don't give a fuck whether Satoshi gets rich or not, that is irrelevant.

I'm surprised I haven't seen more Japanese language on this forum.
I think the first nihongo I've read was a few posts above me there -- I haven't even seen any written in roumaji, for crying out loud.

Finding Satoshi

I'll buy Satoshi a beer, I don't give a shit if he gets rich. He's already done a lot to enlighten many of us.

Generally paying someone more for something than it cost them to produce is kind of a fundamental portion of an economy and not something you'd criticize someone for.

Think really really long term. No transaction fee (or minimum) for all party involved; hence, the money will get reinvested into the business to innovate and produce. It's a great thing.

I find it somewhat fishy that no one knows who he is or where he went

but I also agree that those early adopters should be compensated for investing their time and money into it too. I mean without anyone jumping on board and sticking with bitcoin, it wouldn't be anywhere near what it is today.

No. It benefits all of us who use it. Hopefully it will benefit all of society.

Of course he probably figured it would make him rich. That's proof he did a great job. If I built a better mousetrap, you can bet I'd be hoping it made me a lot of money.
