Why should the US put Satoshi in prison? He never did anything illegal, he just created something, that's it. If what Satoshi created was somehow illegal probably many countries would have already banned it several years ago but nothing happened except in some countries with particular governments like China or some middle eastern countries. I just don't understand why people keep thinking that bitcoin is somehow illegal or wrong.
The US government created Tor, one of the most important privacy tools, because they wanted to use it by themselves. So indeed, why would they put Satoshi in prison? Did they ever put any creator of a privacy tool into prison? And yet the idea that they would do so is so common in Bitcoin community, because most Bitcoiners subscribe to the "government bad" libertarian mindset.
I don't see why would Satoshi be nominated for a Nobel prize in economics. Bitcoin didn't change the world. And Bitcoin is just a payment network, the creators of Visa, which is used by billions of people, didn't get one either.
