Unlikely.
Vitalik Buterin was born in 1994, and the Bitcoin Whitepaper (which took years to build) was published in 2008, therefore he was 14 years old at the time.
Even though he's a great worker, no tween is going to spend their free time working on something like the Bitcoin protocol.

Topic: Is Vitalik Buterin Satoshi Nakamoto? (Read 4062 times)
No, I do not think so. For me, Satoshi Nakamoto does not exist. It must be a company or a group of companies that have joined and created the BTC and not just a guy.
Same. I think that Satoshi Nakamoto would've been a name for a group of people specialized in computer science, cryptography, distributed computing, and other fields. With all the complex subjects that blockchain technology involve, it would've been difficult for a single person to have come up with such a project. It would have taken years of experience and dedication to be able to come up with a new technology that would revolutionize finance.
While Vitalik may not be Nakamoto, he sure is smart and created another revolutionary cryptocurrency called Ethereum that is hitting the world by storm. Smart contracts, and decentralized applications will be the way of the future. As for Bitcoin, it is only a matter of time before the creators reveal their true identities or not. If identities become revealed, then it would greatly impact Bitcoin's value over the long term.
Nevertheless, all that matters is that Satoshi has introduced us a way to transact freely and gain control of our financial future. It will pave the way towards decentralized commerce, identity issuance, property registration, and more in a safe and secure way that has never been thought possible before. Just my opinion
I'm guessing that it should be Hal Finney and he's the closest person to be Satoshi Nakamoto but he never claimed it.
No, I do not think so. For me, Satoshi Nakamoto does not exist. It must be a company or a group of companies that have joined and created the BTC and not just a guy.
This is what I'm also thinking, it's just a pseudonym for a group that wants to hide and remain anonymous.
It is more likely that Mike Hearn is Satoshi than Buterin.

Satoshi must have been designing bitcoin at least a year before the white paper release in 2008, so Buterin would have been no more than 13 by the time.
Of course Vitalik Buterin is Satoshi Nakamoto, but you forget to mention that they are also both James Bond who in reality is actually Mickey Mouse. As you see, once you start with fantasies, the sky is the limit 
I know it may sound crazy, but given the fact that Vitalik is one the most smartest programmers in which he created the Ethereum platform himself (also with a very complex system) it makes me think whenever Vitalik may be Satoshi or not?

i think satoshi nakamoto is composed of genius people . not just one
no one can pull an incredible stunt alone im telling you
so my answer is no
no, Vitalik talked to Satoshi many years ago, they are different people.
Satoshi was impressed by Vitalik, saw promise, it was well placed.
Both Bitcoin and Ethereum are testing different parameters.
Bitcoins ultra secure
Ethereum is testing contract logic and the general skill of programmers... this one is going to be tough.

If so, why would he show up for the ethereum and hide for bitcoin?
You do have a point there, mate. I wouldn't make sense to show up for Ethereum and hide for Bitcoin. Given that Buterin has been very young during the inception of Bitcoin in 2009, it would've been impossible for him to develop the pioneer cryptocurrency in the first place. Perhaps, he may not be Satoshi but he may have worked with him or known him at some point in time.
Since Bitcoin gathers many complex subjects such as cryptography, distributed computing, and the blockchain, I think that Nakamoto would've been a group of people instead of a single person working on the development of Bitcoin. All that matters now is that Satoshi has left us with the opportunity to transact freely without third party intervention in a safe and secure way. This revolutionary technology gives autonomy to money as we know it, and will greatly change our society for the better.
Whenever it is Bitcoin, or Ethereum, they're both great inventions that will have their real-world use cases in the mainstream world. Just my opinion
If Vitalik Buterin was actually Satoshi, he would be integrating standard smart contracts like the the ones on the Ethereum platform along with Bitcoin instead of creating a new coin itself. This would've made it a digital superpower with nothing in its way.
Makes no sense for a kid just 14 years old to innovate such high level stuff, possessing deep knowledge of math as written in the white paper. Even a whiz kid wouldn't be able to pull this off.
VB -> born 1994. BTC -> white paper 2008.
Would have been age 14 FYI

As many said, due to his age I do not think, that Vitalik can be Satoshi. When you read the original BTC whitepaper, you can see, that the author must have a lot of experience and knowledge about financial systems. He chooses his words very carefully and wisely with views back to the past and into the future.
I know it may sound crazy, but given the fact that Vitalik is one the most smartest programmers in which he created the Ethereum platform himself (also with a very complex system) it makes me think whenever Vitalik may be Satoshi or not?

Yes, he was very young to came up the Crypto-Currencies idea after Lehman's brothers collapsed. Would have been age 14 FYI

no he can not be satoshi nakamoto
Such statement has no point. Vitalik Buterin is 23 year old, so in 2009 he just turned 15. So first of all he was too young to create such thing like bitcoin. Secondly, he's a public person already, so there is no reason to be fake Mr. Nakamoto. Finally, he created Ethereum, more innovative platform than bitcoin.
No one can figure out which and who is Mr. Satoshi Nakamoto is except himself and someone around him while developing Blockchain back a decade ago.
Mr. Satoshi Nakamoto is a very smart and a genius person and so is Mr. Vitalik Buterin.
In my personal opinion, I believe that one of the developers of new Cyrpto-Currencies today is Mr. Satoshi Nakamoto's involvement.
He don't want to expose his real identity for personal reasons for the security of himself and the closest people around him.

Totally agree with you, mate. Nakamoto is a genius as it provided us a revolutionary technology that it's bound to change our society for the better. If he wouldn’t have invented Bitcoin in the first place, we wouldn’t have the freedom to transact with other people without the need for middlemen. So, Nakamoto as well as Buterin have invented quite useful applications that will help us advance economically in the future.
Of course, no one knows Nakamoto's identity, but it's best for it to be that way for the sake of Bitcoin and blockchain technology. It's been quite some time since we don't see Nakamoto active in the community, but the most important thing is that all of us have made Bitcoin better than ever over the course of years. In this sense, it is safe to say that we are all Satoshi Nakamoto. Just my opinion
