It is more likely he is in hiding than dead. Because Satoshi posted a public message in 2014 when people thought Satoshi Dorian Nakamoto was the creator.

Legally speaking, if a person is missing for long, and there is no physical trace of that person, whether alive or physical remains; then under the Forensic Law, that person can be declared dead only seven years from the last contact with that person.

Here, we have an online comment from 'Satoshi' in March 2014. So, if there is total silence from him since then, seven full years must necessarily elapse, before he can be considered legally deceased.

That means a legal certification of Satoshi's demise can be made only after March 2021. Hopefully, this rather ungainly prospect should impel 'Satoshi Nakamoto' to make periodic online comments; so as to at least push that date even further, if not to entirely scotch such outrageous rumours!

Well there are many subordinates that could take over in a position of good company like family, relatives and friends. And by taking it over then one can establish a rapport on the side of the owner and its subordinates. And since there is a new owner then it could easily command on retrieving the crypto and the transfer from the original owner of bitcoin to the new owner. And it is so easy to manipulate especially if the owner has a lot of bitcoin's left then sharing it as a form of reward will make the job more easy to accomplish.

It is possible that satoshi is died. We don't know if satoshi nakamoto is a real person or its just a pseudo name. But i think satoshi is alive because he has a lot of money. To spare to improve his health.

There could even be millions of reasons out there why Satoshi is nowhere to be found, AI theories are not even crazy than you think it is extremely possible, crazy? I think not, people can make theories about, but I don't think there is a chance that Satoshi would show, I honestly even think that it is not his real identity, its 2018 and this is still a topic we are talking to, if Satoshi would be dead or he is hiding we will never know because he had hid his identity very well.

Nobody seems to have a good answer to where Satoshi has gone and why he and his coins have not been seen for years.

I can think of only a few reasons why that might be.

1. He wants btc to succeed and knows spending his coins will cause a massive panic.
2. He is already rich and has no need for more money.
3. He was hired/tagged by an agency or institution and is under NDA.
4. He is sick of btc.
5. He hates attention/spotlight and does not want the leadership role.

What if the answer is even simpler? He had a car accident / heart failure and died. His wallets are lost and therefore never spent.

This is so much more reasonable and probable than "satoshi is an AI" or other crazy theories here. It's sad, but I think this might be the truth.

all events are said to have OP could possibly happen because we don't know who and what is satoshi? I have the opinion that satoshi is an organization well I think if just one person who makes bitcoin it a little impossible

Think, the theory of probability can help you to count how many chances (in percent) that Satoshi died (or can die) because of infelicitous occasion. But as we (the run of mankind) don't know exactly who is he -this mysterious Mr. Satoshi - all our thought and guess-works are only reading coffee grounds.

Not your Keys, Not your Bitcoins

He is an anonymous entity, we don't know if he/she/it is still alive, but the most important thing is that Satoshi left a precious "gem" for our humanity. Bitcoin and the blockchain technology are slowly starting to change the world! We are witnessing an evolution of Earth's infrastructure thanks to him.

For me Satoshi was not foolish person who was born on earth. This person is so genuine and genuine genius for me. It is like who can understand the feelings of the bird eagle are those who are eagle. I think there will be a great surprise on Satoshi's side and bitcoin.

I think he's not dead and not dead yet, I think you'll see him later he'll introduce himself when bitcoin is really successful and accepted by all people, somehow I believe it will happen

Satoshi did not want to reveal himself in public because he did not want to be recognized as one of the richest people in the world. I think with how many bitcoins it brings will have enough funds to equate to how much money the gate bill. Cool

He probably included the bitcoins on his last will and testament. If he died, his family would found out who he really was. Let’s just hope that Satoshi Nakamoto doesn’t want his identity to be kept secret even after he died.

Until now I still think that Satoshi is not a person's name or a real human figure. The one who created bitcoin is a cluster of smart people. Satoshi is just a name or maybe a group name. But anyone who created bitcoin is a very genius figure.

until now many people who do not know for sure who it is satoshi. some say he is japanese and some say he is australia. its existence is still a mystery and now there is news that he is dead? the person is really mysterious, but brings many benefits with bitcoin.

Our assumption is that the supply of bitcoin will approach 21 million as specified in the current protocol. To give some context, the current supply of bitcoin is around 13.25 million, the rate at which bitcoin is released decreases by half roughly every four years, and the supply should get past 19 million in the year 2022. The key part of this assumption is that the protocol will not be changed.

I have looked through the mentioned reasons and don't think that any of them seem to be correct but who knows
Perhaps you are right. I think maybe he has just tired of publicity and doesn't want to be in the center of attention

No one knows the exact thing either, because in my point of view, I believe many people are working under the project before but they only put all together their work in one name which is Satoshi and remain to become anonymous for further reasons.

The Stone the masons rejected was the cornerstone.

Satoshi Nakamoto was very smart in hiding his true identity from the rest of the world.

Satoshi still being a mystery can only mean two things..

He does not want to be exposed to whom he really is by moving his BTC and being able to be tracked.

Or he is dead and all that his 1 Million BTC is lost forever.

I read the book Digital Gold: Bitcoin and the Inside Story of the Misfits and Millionaires Trying to Reinvent Money and from what I understand Hal Finney could possibly have been Satoshi but unfortunately is dead.

I hope that the true Satoshi is still alive and somehow had a separate stash of BTC that he can live off of.

He deserves at least that as his genius invention is a blessing to the rest of the world.

I think that after his death, you might get to know he was. He might have told some family member to disclose this after he is gone.

I guess time will tell. We all know some of his public addresses..if some of the btc moves, we will know he's still alive. I personally think he cashed out millions and is now enjoying his life away from media attention.

hardly. And he hides only because he believed that bitcoin will win the world and on his way in public life it would be very difficult, not everyone is given.
