Topic: Nobel prize for Satoshi. - page 3. (Read 965 times)

Completely agree with you..
There have been people who are ahead of their time like Mendel who gave the famous principle of inheritance and he was awarded noble price after his death  30 years after in died.
Before that there was no rule to award nobel posthumously.

Can we apply similar principle for Satoshi and make a rule change...

I think the main issue with this prize is the following requirement:


Since Satoshi Nakamoto is anonymous, then that requirement will never be possible to be satisfied.

I don't think Satoshi would even pass the initial screening. The criteria from their initial screening for nomination is strict, and also there are only a handful of entities that are allowed to nominate, and most of them belong to organizations that bitcoin isn't being taken as something good for their agenda. Sure, bitcoin may have been one of the revolutionary creations in the 21st century, but is its impact enough to be qualified into Nobel's selection process? Satoshi deserves some recognition from what they created, but I think a Nobel Prize is one that they wouldn't receive.

Satoshi ought to be honoured for the great technology he created, which has aided many people in some way. Given that we don't even know him in person, giving him the price is unnecessary. I feel that his absence has made bitcoin what it is today, and that identifying himself will only leave bitcoin vulnerable in the hands of the government, which has all regulatory powers in the country. In his last message, he stated that "the future of bitcoin is safe," and I believe he will remain so as long as he remains anonymous to the public.

Many people who interact with the cryptocurrency industry (not just coders and other experts, but also regular investors) surely agree with you that Satoshi Nakamoto deserves the Nobel Prize. But I have no idea how the awarding procedure will work (as some in this thread have noticed this). maybe in absentia Of course, no one will attend the ceremony to accept the award, but if it does, it will undoubtedly have a beneficial impact. An award of this stature would signify bitcoin's official acknowledgement and undoubtedly draw the attention of many who have never even heard of it.

He definitely deserves the reward for successfully implementing the blockchain technology into the monetary system and it worked but who will get the reward since we don't really know who is Satoshi Nakamoto and he didn't want to expose it until now so I feel let it be and still we have to see big change than what we are experiencing now.

The real world transactions are made using bitcoin, price tags in Bitcoin, people with money on their own wallets.

it is an interesting idea, for sure a nice proposal.
but it seems to me really difficult that he/she/they will ever receive such recognition.
from a certain point of view this would also be a sort of "certification" of the failure&backwardness of the old FIAT system

According to the rules ‘ A prize may not be shared among more than three individuals’.

So if the team behind bitcoin was greater than three individuals then no prize.

I don’t think an anon can win the prize either.

Regardless somewhere out there George and the gang would be happy to read this thread.

Satoshi is indeed a create man, he really deserves to be honored, Satoshi really deserve a noble prize but nobody knows him so I don't know how that will be easy, I believe Ukraine president should create a holiday which he should name it (Bitcoin free day), because am sure bitcoin really helped them during the war against Russia. Not only Ukraine president should do that am sure other presidents should also do that just to honor satoshi. If I have opportunity in my country, I will create a public holiday and it will be named bitcoin free day, I might even name some Higher institution in my country after satoshi, I think those are the ways we can honor him, he can't be given any award because nobody knows him.

When you talk about great men in Economics, I have forgotten their names. The ones that discussed about the law of demand and supply, the ones that talked about insatiable nature of man, the ones that talked and about fixed and variable factors. They all did wonderful works, but Satoshi came with an exception, he didn't bring theory but practical and created a strong community around the world without government support.

Satoshi brought about liberty and freedom, as such needs award in Macro Economics and also in humanity. Even if no one receives the award, let it be reserved to the name "Satoshi Nakamoto".

There are categories of Nobel prize, in which category do we think that he deserved it? There is a finance Nobel prize for example and that means he should have won it long time ago if you ask me, he did an academic research on blockchain and online money and created bitcoin out of it and I agree that it is definitely something amazing and deserves a Nobel prize.

But, if we are talking about any other category, peace prize, or any other thing like physics or chemistry etc, obviously it is not okay because we are talking about something he did not contributed to. Finance would be the only one that's okay and I am not sure if it would be easy to decide or not. Because it was long time ago.

I think that Satoshi deserves a Nobel in Economics. It's first an foremost and economic innovation, and it's innovation of the kind that changed the world in many aspects, created a whole new industry, revisited what money is, what its essential traits are, and how it can be otherwise, and demonstrated in practice that a decentralized unregulated currency is not only possible but can also be attractive for a significant number of people around the world. Of course, since Satoshi's identity is unknown, they wouldn't know who to give the prize to, and it would be terrible if they gave it to Craig. So Satoshi is unlikely to receive this recognition.

In Colombia, Faketoshi is recognized as the real Satoshi, although it doesn't really mean anything - but I believe that everything is possible in this crazy world, including Faketoshi winning the Nobel Prize, which would only be a confirmation that something is very rotten in the Nobel Committee. As I already wrote in the previous post, that award no longer represents absolutely nothing to me - and as far as I'm concerned, those who make decisions can award it to themselves.

for his discoveries in the 21st century Satoshi Nakamoto undoubtedly deserves the Nobel Prize. although it didn't receive too much positive praise in its early stages, but the impact that blockchain technology and Bitcoin has created for many people today and in the future, eventually everyone recognized it. I think whoever Satoshi deserves the Nobel prize even though it's still a mystery the satsoshi nakamaoto is anonymous

Yes, Satoshi deserves the Nobel prize award for combining his ideas, and all the research done by some Universities and in the cryptography community to create what we called Bitcoin and blockchain today.

The creation of Bitcoin is not all own his work. Read the Satoshi session written by Theymos


I believe Satoshi is just an individual but he works with a lot of C++ and cryptography professionals anonymously.

I don't know! perhaps in your suggestion there is a bit of ignorance on the subject, maybe you think that this is like one of those MTV awards that are given for popularity , etc. In any case, like any serious award, the Nobel is, but without a doubt it is the most bureaucratic that exists and in a certain way prejudiced.

These qualifications do not take away the value and recognition they have for the scientific community, for example in the Nobel Prize for Physics, where without discussion sometimes prizes are awarded to those who truly deserve it, we must add the literary ones where perhaps it begins to be some overtones of subjectivity, then there are the economic awards where we can begin to have winners where subjectivity grows even more, and so on, anyway getting into the circuit for a nomination is quite complex and full of requirements.

Einstein, for example, would surely have won due to gravitational waves, things that in the end could be demonstrated just a few years ago but he is dead, on the other side are those who should have won a Nobel in life but the arbitrary questioning and bureaucracy to access to a nobel prize are uphill, Vera Rubin is one of those absurd cases that the Nobels have to give a prize to who really deserves it.

This great woman and scientist said these great words when she was asked about why she was never awarded a Nobel Prize and I think they are useful in the case of SN:

But that is if he could get it because everyone knows who is him. I don't think Satoshi will reveal himself only to get the award because so many years have passed already and he still choose to be anonymous. I see that there is a website for this noble event where they display the bio and the image of the awardee.

Even if Satoshi didn't receive his physical prizes, they can always put the logo of btc in that site or maybe a faceless image with some btc images on it? And then they put his bio if who he is and what is his contribution. If ever Satoshi is there, he will be proud of that already and this gives an extra exposure for bitcoin.

When reading this topic, I also had a concern that Craig might appear for the Nobel Prize, if  Satoshi wins it and and reading your post, I could not resist commenting. This will be an unpleasant surprise that will affect newcomers who will believe this and buy his shitcoin. It worries me that people who don't know the whole truth about faketoshi may be deceived by this award. The bitcoin-community knows who Craig really is, so they will avoid this fate.

Personally I think the most important recognization Satoshi has already achieved without Nobel prize or any other honorable mention by authorities or centralized organizations, groups of power and interest. Satoshi has the respect and acknowledgment from common anonymous people of the world who have adopted bitcoin and changed their lives considerably thanks to the decentralized blockchain's ecosystem. After all, that is what really matters and confers him the assurance he accomplished with his duty in this world for a good cause that impacted hundreds of thousands of people positively and will reach many more yet.

No doubts Satoshi deserves more than a Nobel. But wondering how and who will accept? Likely in case, Nobel authority accepts Satoshi then there would be a Satoshi foundation that will take care of Nobel. I am not much aware of a Nobel deserve person who doesn't exist physically.

Faketoshi won't be Satoshi anyway. So it won't happen. Even Court decline his claim so how Nobel authority will accept him as Satoshi?
