I love how this thread's OP got plagiarized over at cryptotalk.org, complete with the misspelling in the title.  That forum is a running joke.

How much material do you think Time magazine would have on Satoshi, anyway?  I doubt it would be enough to write an article on, unless the article was more focused on bitcoin than on Satoshi.  Plus while bitcoin might be extremely popular with us on the forum, it hasn't exactly changed the world in any appreciable way, and that's just the cold hard fact of the matter.

Those lists are a bunch of BS anyway.

That's a good idea, just try to make an online petition, if many people agree then it will be a pleasure to join in the petition. However, I'm not sure whether Time will consider it, especially with an anonymous, anonymous identity, how can they create inspiring profiles and conduct interviews? Well, that looks very difficult. Although Satoshi made a controversial new breakthrough, it offered many opportunities but was also at high risk, too many pros and cons.

As we know this new year, a decade would have passed. And this time the Time magazine will be taking out most influential person of this decade list. I was thinking, we should start a petition and as Time include Satoashi's name. He was the one who started the financial revolution.

Thoughts on how we can make it happen?
Through mainstream adoption of Bitcoin. If that can happen, Satoshi might very well be the most influential person of the millennium, maybe.

Emphasing the word, diversify social ways of communication is a must have for that to happen.

It will not be easy but if you really want to do that i am sure you will be requiring alot of new friends and a group of knowledge people to know where to spread it Wink

Just the news take what's best for their interest on a particular subject on a particular time.

He has given to the world a remarkable technology that has been life changing and has got a potential to be implemented anywhere to make things work flawless. As a part the technology gained popularity through its implementation on financial infrastructure. It succeeded and it is on the way to mainstream adoption though the usage is very small compared to the global fiat usage.

To reach mainstream adoption it takes decades and by then we can have Satoshi to be one among the most influential person list.

He very well could be but only once we gain widespread, mainstream adoption which is possibly still some time away. Bitcoin will need to be standing alongside giants like Paypal before something like TIME recognises Satoshi’s true genius.

But we are talking about a man and not about PayPal and etc. The question is different, is it possible to nominate a person who is still anonymous?

Very impossible. If it happens that Satoshi Nakamoto reveals himself in the world then he accepts his death too (not talking literally) but the problem is, he seemed not interested with any popularity or fame, if Nakamoto is after the fame then he should have revealed himself 2 years ago. 
Not sure what is with these death threats and what did he do to get these threats, it is evident that Satoshi is not looking for fame and if he was looking for that he would have revealed himself long back and even now he is able to reveal his identity but he is not willing nor interested in coming back to bitcoin and its development, if he comes out he will get laurels and there is no doubt he will be considered as an influential person because his invention help create a new market and it is not a small development.

this cannot be possible unless Satoshi reveal himself. because as we are talking, there has been a lot of debate about whether if satoshi is a man or something like secret organization that hidden to the public. we are talking about a person in the Time's influential person of the decade list, that's why we need to prove first that Satoshi is a man and not an organization as the others claimed.
Very impossible. If it happens that Satoshi Nakamoto reveals himself in the world then he accepts his death too (not talking literally) but the problem is, he seemed not interested with any popularity or fame, if Nakamoto is after the fame then he should have revealed himself 2 years ago. In addition we still do not know if this Satoshi Nakamoto is a person or group, you're correct, that's is why it is illogical for time's magazine to include satoshi nakamaoto on the list. It is enough for Nakamoto's work to be recognized and changr the world by how it is noew,it is enough that Nakamoto shared what we have now and it is enough for the world not to talk about him/them anymore.

Definitely we should and it should start on the senior members and those reputable name in the industry, Satoshi although we do not know who he is and where he came from, he has revolutionized the industry and continue to do so, he will eventually be honored when majority of the people are using Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency.

I would definitely vote and also share in my local community to get more votes for this if this is going to happen. I too feel this should happen as what he has done is really a revolutionary idea and it influenced so many people.

Satoshi was such a personality that he never cared for fame and name and hence always decided to be behind the scenes.
We all as humans want recognition and fame for the good deeds we do, but I am saying this from heart I have never seen a guy like Satoshi who developed such a complex and great system which even for tech guys takes some time to understand and Satoshi never wanted to be in limelight.

I think we should just respect that fact and let it be, but yes if there is ever a petition about having Satosh in such lists I am always up for it.

Hmmm, Person of the Decade, let's see the previous winners,

Mikhail Gorbachev, Man of the Decade | Jan. 1, 1990

So I doubt that Satoshi will be the next person of the decade here, far too stretch. And besides, no need in my opinion, let's just enjoy his creation.

Due to Satoshi's great foundation and assistance, it could be possible that he could be part of Time's most infuential person - having many users of Bitcoin itself. However, as we all know, his identity is a secret even among the few people who've been in this system for long. Despite the influence and popularity of Bitcoin or Cryptocurrency, readers of the said magazine might not be convinced about his contribution and question his genuineness. I think what the people need is a solid person, not an indeterminate person nor an organization.

Maybe, in the future he could be part of Time's most influential person, but that would destroy the confidentiality of his identity and Bitcoin itself.

Just like what others said, I agree that it wouldn’t happen because he is not publicly known, and we don’t even know if it’s a group of people or just one person. I’m not sure if Times have given anonymous people the benefit of being the most influential person in the world.

I’m pretty sure what we could do by acknowledging the fact That Satoshi has impacted the financial industry by introducing Bitcoin. I hope people would recognize it also and not judge Bitcoin to what it has done or should I say what people have done with the technology.

we can't make it happen, I think its a requirement for in the category that the person will personally be available or, can be seen in the public, at the same time the government will not allow it to happen because it will only bring doubts in the community that the goverment is dragging the crypto down, by sabotaging everything about cryptocurrency

I think a lot of people would agree to this but I don't think Time Magazine would do too. Despite his influence on this community, he is unknown and no one knows how will they depict Satoshi Nakamoto in that magazine. I guess that makes him not qualified for that. If I would be including him, I guess it would be focussing mainly on the anonymity on the internet.

If you have the time and the willingness to start a petition go, It would definitely help other people notice what crypto is especially if it is focused on bitcoin.

Try to contact the time magazine if they are willing to accept some recommendations first so that we can also make our support to your plan petition.
Yes, but the problem is that no one knows who Satoshi is. Is it 1 person or a group of people?If the creator of Bitcoin was not hiding, then it would be safe to file a petition,otherwise her simply will not be accepted.

Well, they already included him before as man of the year. They will simply look at the list of 10. Not sure if it was a real Time cover or someone just made it up, but Time does have an article on Satoshi.

Nobody know the whereabouts of satoshi or his family even how to know his assets which includes the qualities of influential person of the decade, He might be a pseudonymous being, how sure are you that satoshi is his real name, so they are many features that he might be ignored on, i think Jack of twitter has a better Identity than satoshi in this category.

Is there a high possibility they will include Satoshi in the list? No one knows his face so how can they put it in the magazine? I think that the influential people they would be including in the list are those who give much impact on people about something. Like how they perceive thing, that can help shape people's actions. I don't know if Satoshi would fit in that. The only thing we know about him is bitcoin, but not everyone is well aware of it.

They won't include him.

Bitcoin and the blockchain method of avoiding double-spending on the internet are great innovations to be sure. But they haven't yet affected the real economy because people are using it for speculation only. Whereas previous innovations like the internet and world wide web really did change the real economy, as did the invention of the telephone and car.
