Topic: Ok where is Satoshi (Read 532 times)
Sadly I believe that he has passed over to the next life.
If I recall correctly, his Dorian Nakamoto message was around the time that there were some threats to satoshi's safety. As it says on the p2p foundation thread:
If you ask me, satoshi vanished when he vanished from this forum with his last post on December 13th, 2010. He could just want to leave BTC without one definitive leader (in the name of decentralisation); he could be dead; he could have been afraid of authorities.
Dear Satoshi. Your dox, passwords and IP addresses are being sold on the darknet. Apparently you didn't configure Tor properly and your IP leaked when you used your email account sometime in 2010. You are not safe. You need to get out of where you are as soon as possible before these people harm you. Thank you for inventing Bitcoin.
Whether or not this is true I don't know, but it's certainly possible that satoshi's p2p foundation account was compromised to make that Dorian Nakamoto comment. Someone even got access to his email, as theymos says.If you ask me, satoshi vanished when he vanished from this forum with his last post on December 13th, 2010.

He's not going to come back to comment on these things, and he's left the community, the life, and everything. If he was to come back, all it would do was cause more trouble for the community and for him on a personal state of mind and the manhunt to find out who he is IN REAL LIFE would only just start back up again.
He made Bitcoin, and could amass a ton of money by selling his Bitcoin -- but I feel as if he has enough trust in his creation to simply let them go without him, and there's nothing we can do but let him do that.
Everyone here has to accept that he's gone, forever and that's the end all be all with him.

There is no more need to find satoshi. His creation is great enough to find a way to get out of all these troubles very much alive and stronger. Bitcoin is the king and satoshi feels comfortable about whatever bitcoin has to go through. He has confidence in his masterpiece.
Pls, Satoshi. We need you

He left because he believe that it is about time that decentralization should be implemented fully. Well, I am not actually so sure if leaving Bitcoin was a very good idea because as it is now Bitcoin has almost become leaderless. We have seen the scaling debate taking some years before finally arriving at the possible solutions. There is so much debates, disagreements and disunity in Bitcoin.
His last message was regarding Dorian Nakamoto in 2014. Why hasn't he made any comments about the hard forks, segwit, BCC, etc?
I think Satoshi wants to see open-source Bitcoin development by a group of competent people, because it's better for Bitcoin for many reasons. First, anyone can make mistakes, so having development of 40+ billion dollar network on the shoulders of just one person is very risky, also it makes Bitcoin more centralized in eyes of users - so any news regarding Satoshi would influence the price (like it's happening now with Vitalik and ETH). He also wants to stay anonymous, and keeping his public activity would probably endanger his privacy. But it's possible that Satoshi is posting here or on other platforms under new nickname, and we'll probably never know it.
I agree with 'squatz1'. The coming hard Fork is a very serious matter and if there is no word from him, it means there is no more Nakamoto or has accepted what is going to happen in future with BTC or may be he has firm belief that nothing will happen to BTC and all the hard forks would not work and people would eventually stick on to BTC only. Who knows !!!
