I think it pretty unlikely that the security apparatus of the US would not able to identify Satoshi (or plural as the case may be) rather trivially.  And I bet that the guy is (or guys are) pretty aware of that.

I'm pretty sure I can post an article to the internet without leaving any trace. As good as your intel may be, what possible digital paper trail could you not avoid leaving behind?

For the purposes of planning, at least, I figure that the US has fairly complete logs of pretty much ever data communication made over the Internet and the telephone systems as well as and ocean of information on travel and spending by individuals.

Satoshi did not do one article.  He interacted with various developers in various ways and with the source code repository for a significant period of time and recently enough that the data collection systems were in full swing.

One probably could cheat the surveillance system with extreme skill and caution but it would be really hard to do for any complex project.

I still have questions about this Satoshi guy and why he would be so illusive whilst other early developers are open.

I actually think it's most likely this Satoshi guy kept his identity secret exactly because the "elites" can't quite do most of what you envision. If I were the writer of such a competitive currency potentially capable of overthrowing not only governments, but whole forms of government, I would seriously consider never identifying myself ever again.

... this question is maybe phrased in a rather unfortunate way but there is something to it, definitely.

Bitcoin is the accepted and generic term for a set of technologies, ideas and meanwhile institutions. Therefor, although it's for sure not the devilish plot of TPTB, we should be very well aware that parts of the Bitcoin ecosystem could support attempts to setup a one world currency quite well. Especially block-chaining and time stamping as "triple entry accounting" and a new way of "smart contracting" prohibiting double spending big scale, would contribute security and trust to a global currency. Consider also that mining (issuing ) of money doesn't have to happen decentralised and bound to hashing from a technological perspective. A not anonymous, centralised and controlled blockchain is a perfect mechanism for a global and suppressive tax regime. 

So, at least from my point of view Bitcoin technology could become a/the catalyst and enabler for a one world currency.

*puts on tinfoil hat*

In NWO conspiracy theories, the big bank, THE bank, mother bank, World Bank, Bank of Earth, will want us to adopt their money that they issue for the entire world to use.  They will have full control over it and the world will be indebted to them, and everyone will slave away to earn it and spend it.  This is the ultimate centralized currency, the one you should fear, and the one you reference in the OP.

Bitcoin is the exact opposite.  It's the ultimate decentralized currency, and this is the one we need to get popular, not fiat.  If ever there is a centralized world currency, I would avoid it like plague.

Once 80% of all bitcoin transactions are going through 1 exchange located in the US it makes network analysis a whole lot easier. Especially when you cross match it with the bitcoin foundation data which can be accessed by the same people.

People should take steps to avoid this the same way they move from deepbit when it gets close to 50% of the network.

Obviously some of us here may be familiar with such conspiracy theories as the New world order and such like, and as a n00b I still have questions about this Satoshi guy and why he would be so illusive whilst other early developers are open.

Probably because
1. He (or they) is afraid of the global elites (and he/they should be).
2. He (or they) wants to have a normal life
3. He (or they) wants to do other project independently

So what do you think about the long term future of Bitcoin, could it be subverted from a utopian currency system into a dystopian one with draconian laws imposed upon it by government?

No.

could hardware wallets become implantable RFIDs?

No.

could the mining pools centralise and become the new Bank for International settlements?

No.

as all transactions are transparent could the legislators make creating new public key addresses illegal and could they enforce that?

No.

Your thoughts please...

I hope i my thoughts helped.

Bitcoin allows the powers that be to maintain their economic powers.

Aha.

Van Eck phreaking to obtain private keys.

That is a rather funny idea to obtain private keys via electromagnetic surveillance.

Please learn about Van Eck phreaking and the resources needed to attack this way and I am sure you will reconsider your statement.

Yes but they turn up their nose at more than half of the extant coin types, even those that can be merged-mined.

So for each new altcoin, the small fry have lots of time to get themselves some long before the big guys jump on and claim all the rest, at which point the small folk can simply move on to yet another that is "so small as to be beneath notice, no one takes it seriously" and so on.

[...]

If draconian laws were imposed on the bitcoin protocol, in violation of community consensus, the result would almost certainly be a fork. 

Then there would be 2 bitcoins:  heavily regulated Bitcoin1, accepted by government-sanctioned businesses, and decentralized Bitcoin2, rejected by government-sanctioned businesses but accepted by system D businesses and dissenting users.

Joe Average would probably end up using both: Bitcoin1 for paying his utility bills and Bitcoin2 for getting a haircut.

If the rules got too draconian for Bitcoin1, eg. if there was a 50% tax on every Bitcoin1 transaction, people would abandon Bitcoin1 en masse, move their savings in Bitcoin2, and only use Bitcoin1 when absolutely necessary.

Then government would have to start subverting Bitcoin2, causing it to fork into Bitcoin3 and Bitcoin4. 

And so on.

The "elites" can produce more hashing power than you can.

Well the whole New World Order crap is obvious bullshit, but here's a thought:

Is it possible Bitcoin was created by one of the large Wall Street firms? These guys, especially Goldman Sachs, have a reputation of hiring the best and the brightest fellows you could find. The whole point of these firms is to make obscene profits, usually by inventing complicated financial products such as Collateralized Debt Obligations, Credit Default Swaps and the like.

It would be conceivable some of these guys found out it was possible to create a digital decentralized currency and it was only a matter of time before someone eventually would. The creator of this currency would get a head-start in mining, thus accumulating enormous amounts of it. Only one digital currency would survive, due to the network effect. It is important then that the currency you are building is the most likely to become the favorite currency of the people. The creator, whether it be some lone programmer hiding under the name Satoshi Nakamoto or the experimental department at the Goldman Sachs Tower at 200 West Street, New York, could become the ruler of the world.

The bank's power come from that they could get loan from FED endlessly. But with bitcoin they could not get more if they want, and once bitcoin leave their hand, it will disappear from their vault forever (with fiat, it eventually deposited back into another bank), so it is not a very interesting business, maybe pension fund are more interested

My thought is that many things of this general nature remain valid hypotheses.  In other words, as observations continue to roll in they should be mapped against such possibilities as well as many others.

In terms of conspiracies, my sense is that a lot of things are not really that well planned by 'the powers that be.'  Certain things, like the uprising in Egypt to use an example, sort of catch everyone by surprise.  But said 'powers that be' have the resources to analyze and shape future events to make the most of the situation.  My best guess at this point is that Bitcoin falls into this general category.

The revolution will be monetized!
It is not in the interest of economic elites to support bitcoin. They became the elites by excluding you from the market. There is no way they want a bunch of poor people trading in ways they can't profit from.
Also, the new world order is fringe element wet dream. No one is at the helm, which is just as disquieting.  Embarrassed

The problem is that people are so easily controlled through even mere threats of court or state violence, so in 20yrs time when bitcoin is massively established people running exchanges or trading in bitcoin can be cohersed into paying excessive taxes and giving up the economic liberties that bitcoin gave them, already on this forum you see questions like, how do i declare my income from bitcoin and such, I'm not a tin foil hat wearing type but there is an elite of glabalists that seek to re-create feudal times and have us as economic slaves, they've been doing a damm good job at it too considering most people leave school or college now not knowing anything about economics or how money is created or even how to balance a cheque book.

So IMO Bitcoin can be a massive force for good if we resist the attempts of governments and monopolies to subvert it, It could be an orwellian nightmare if people give in too easily.


I would love to be able to buy my coffee direct from a brazillian grower online in bitcoin in the next few years, Or send money to a poor african farmer directly for machinery etc.
I'd love to be able to print 3d parts for a home server or solar panel that had been created in an opensource project and funded by bitcoin crowd sourcing in some way, the enabling aspects of technology are amazing a and we can potentially do away with big governments, monopolies and central banks - I really hope that Bitcoin stays as a force for good.
