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.

Satoshi definetely has huge credit for inovation and promotion of cryptocurrencies but it first appeared before current decade. On the other hand, only a small percentage of people in the world is using cryptocurrencies so the question is how big his influence really is.
Last but not least we don't know the true identity of Satoshi, is this a person or group of people, he, she, or something else so from that point such reward wouldn't have sense.

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.
Is Satoshi Nakamoto, the name of a person? How do you even prove that its a name of a person or the name of a group of people? There is no way you can tell, it's not possible man. You're not going to put up an anonymous person on the Time's magazine and praising them as being influential when you don't even know who they are. People will expect them to put up a picture of Satoshi and all they will end up seeing is a blank page.1. I think Times only chooses people who did something prominent in that year, so Satoshi would be already disqualified, since he was only active in 2009-2010.
The topic said the most influential person of the decade, so there is still a chance for it to land on the page. Bitcoin can as well make it to the list. It has really brought a lot of changes so it is worth it. December 05, 2019, 02:39:21 PM
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.
I think this is reasonable enough. The competition will determine the relevance.
And if for instance there is massive adoption, the recognition will be unanimously given abd championed by prople who are not early adopters but have been critics all the while

1. I think Times only chooses people who did something prominent in that year, so Satoshi would be already disqualified, since he was only active in 2009-2010.
2. Even if we nominate Bitcoin instead of Satoshi (yes, it's possible to nominate an object or an idea), do you really think it has any chance of winning right now? The current list of candidates includes Trump, Merkel, Macron, Greta Thunberg and other people who are covered by the news almost every day. Meanwhile many people have only heard about Bitcoin a few times in their life or maybe never.

I have no doubt that Satoshi's idea is one of the most innovative ideas of the decade. But if it possible to find out Satoshi's identity then Govs will certainly not want to give any prize for his credit but they will look for the way to punish him.

There is no doubt Satoshi created a revolutionary market which no one thought will be possible and he made a rapid change in the way things are viewed for centuries and hence he should be considered as the most influential person of the decade and most probably win the Nobel prize for economics in my opinion but the question is if they will consider an anonymous person is to be seen.

I think it's not going to happen. Time doesn't have any information about him. We didn't even know if they are a group of people who created Bitcoin. It wasn't him who influence us, it was his creation Bitcoin. I bet a lot of people who use Bitcoin still doesn't know who or what Satoshi Nakamoto is.
Also, why do we need Satoshi to be popular when he wants to be anonymous? Stop leaving in fantasies people.

Well said!
I was really thinking while I was reading the OP, It'll only leave ya'll disappointed those who were expecting that Time Magazine would actually do that.
We lost track of Satoshi in 2010 and he disappeared like a bubble popped in the air, gone with the wind.
So, how would Time Magazine would be able to assess Satoshi's influence when he's nowhere to be found since 2010?
What the person I am quoted above suggestions is true.
It was Bitcoin itself (Satoshis creation) that brought influence to us.

Satoshi can be part of that list IF he is not unknown. The problem is, we don't know his identity. How can we say someone is influencial if we don't really know the person, or even know his face.
There is a basis on how a person can be part of that influencial list. But they can't have it with Satoshi since we don't have any idea or information about him. But if you really wanna try the petition, then go. They might hear us out depending on how approachable the people behind the Time Magazine

Starting a petition could gain some traction and possibly more new learners of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies through educating who Satoshi Nakamoto is. And even though his real identity has not been disclosed, he has proven to be one of the most influential especially in relation to financial possibilities and government separation.

Thoughts on how we can make it happen?
I think it is impossible to get on the Times magazine list because his identity is not yet known. Thoughts on how we can make it happen?
While Satoshi is an individual or a team it is also unclear, but I believe Satoshi is a team.

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.
Now this is the problem of trying to make Satoshi appear on the famous list. We don't have enough evidence if satoshi is a man, a lady, or an organisation. Mere people may have to take the throne on satoshi's behalf but i don't think they were ready for that. But if you nominate Craig Wright i don't he will be on the list as Satoshi. lol

Is Satoshi valid for that? Since satoshi has not yet identified, no official information yet.
I don't think Time Magazine will include or consider Satoshi because Satoshi is still not identified or any proof who she/he is.
And you think, featuring Satoshi on those kind of Magazine/whatsoever for being a influential person will not affect the company featuring Satoshi? Since there are some illegal doings done on Bitcoin which Satoshi founded.

Time has been pro bitcoin, their 2018 article Why Bitcoin matters was a success (https://time.com/5486673/bitcoin-venezuela-authoritarian/)
There is a possibility that they will take it into look once Satoshi got nominated in the poll as there are many personalities that they will consider who make a big name or noise in these decade. We know how bitcoin gain popularity at year 2016-2017 as well Satoshi. There is chance that they will consider it as long there are people who will recommend and vote. December 04, 2019, 10:14:04 AM
This is a great idea but the chances of him getting to the list of influencers. I don't think it's possible for an anonymous figure to get to that list, at least, they would require an interview with him and it's not going to happen. One thing Satoshi wants is keeping his identity and that's always help bitcoin, we can't predict what might happen if he decides to reveal his identity.
Time magazine has honored Satoshi before - they made him the man of the year (link of the cover https://www.amazon.co.uk/CoinedBits%C2%AE-Time-Magazine-Satoshi-Nakamoto/dp/B019958F80). What I am proposing is that Time takes it a step further and adds Satoshi in the list of Top influencer of this decade (2010-2019)

I see they might have a difficulty posting it as the identity of satoshi isn't still verified. Because if so, they need to stress out he might be a single person or a group of cryptocurrency enthusiasts. Though, if we are to think about how much Satoshi influences us, for me, the point is that, anonymous identity becomes one of the coolest things to consider that you don't need to be known to be recognized, you can build future without even expressing who you are. In the end, I definitely agree satoshi should be on the list of the most influential.

I think He deserves good recognition by both the government and private sector but he probably won't like the idea if he's the kind of person I think he is. I think the other "satoshi" would like it.
By the way, I am not sure if this kind of recognition is necessary? Maybe for the promotion of Bitcoin. Time magazine would have to like your invention before giving you that kind of recognition.

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 that's a good idea.
I tried reaching out to a few Jounralists on LinkedIn, but no luck. Do you know anyone?
So you want Satoshi to be on the Times Magazine, well that is good idea to promote Bitcoin market development. I appreciate your idea. You have fail to find journalist, you can find it if you search in a right place. I can help you but I need to contact you privately. PM me.
