At least nobody has purchased it yet. 

https://opensea.io/assets/0x495f947276749ce646f68ac8c248420045cb7b5e/97688571117757237101471153596397975393718267124320450797737993862480318693377

You can see from the activity the latest "satoshi hacker" originally tried to sell this NFT for 67.1089 ETH, which he has reduced now (3 days ago) to 1 ETH in hopes of finding a buyer.  I'd say this is a bit of an admission of defeat that he has realized nobody is going to pay nearly a quarter of a million dollars for a useless pic of an internet post, not even made by the one who posted it...  I'm glad.  I half expected to see a bunch of bids on this thing, but luckily his scam attempt has been ignored.  Imagine getting access to satoshi's account and then using it to shill an NFT.  Hackers these days...  They're a bit crazy.

It is quite clear that the account was hacked. Because I feel the very last thing that satoshinakamoto would want to be doing right now is playing with his identity. So he’s going to try everything possible to maintain his privacy, unless he’s ready now to reveal himself to the world. And if he is ready to reveal himself to the world, it wouldn’t be by making a post of an NFT, He would have started by doing it in some other way. So this is clearly a hacker who is trying to get money out from people by creating an NFT on the open sea platform. So, don’t even fall for it.

Anyone can create an NFT these days, I’ve even seen artists that their artworks were stolen by people and created as NFT, and the artists are not benefiting anything from the work that they have done, rather it’s just some art thieves who have copied their work that are now benefiting from it on NFT platforms. So don’t try to believe anything easily these days until you are very sure about it.

I wonder now just how many accounts did Satoshi have online across all the different platforms? I know it's not really important at all to find out about Satoshi but it is a bit of an interest to know how his account got hacked. Was the platform just poor security or did Satoshi himself implement bad security at these platforms?

Of course I have to believe the first possibility.

This isn't the first time that account has been hacked and I don't know why it wasn't frozen like it was done here.

you can read about old hacks:

 - ‘Nour’ and a New Friend: Satoshi Nakamoto's P2P Profile Makes New Post, Befriends User
 - Satoshi’s back — at least for a “nour”

It appears that the account data is being sold or shared by hackers.

All Satoshi accounts and everything that comes out of him is considered scam unless it is officially confirmed and I don't think that when he comes back he will return to promote a scam project or without proof of himself.

Satoshi is dead, or should be dead to the community. We pay our respects and honor him, but his founding of Bitcoin should not influence how Bitcoin should be going forward into the future. We also have Craig Wright to thank for making the community more cynical. Cool

You can't see the content now, but when I found it on Google a moment ago, it seemed to simply be pointing it out, and not spamming.

The problem is that the guy has posted the entire content, and that's about NTFs. I don't know if it was meant to be spam or not.
The original Reddit post is here: https://web.archive.org/web/20211226053929/https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/roqe0t/post_from_satoshis_p2p_foundation_account/
The culprit post is: http://p2pfoundation.ning.com/forum/topics/bitcoin-open-source?commentId=2003008%3AComment%3A169634

I don't think that Satoshi would care of NFTs so much to come back for that. I certainly believe it's hacked.

I second this, it is impossible that Satoshi would be promoting NFT's in this kind of situation. The first thing maybe he will do if he would ever come back would of course explain himself on why he is gone for more than a decade. Or so maybe airdrop some of his BTC to the people who continued his legacy.

Hackers nowadays are damn freaking good, even the long and idle account of the legend Satoshi was no excuse. How could they do such a thing? Maybe it is one of the co workers of Satoshi when he is still on the making of BTC, colleagues that have Satoshi use to give his password for forums like p2p.

By looking the account, it seems that it's the legit account Satoshi announced Bitcoin.
Sounds like this shitty website that can't keep their accounts secure.  Grin

This is quite alarming, posting an advertising for NFT? That's quite funny, the first thing that Satoshi might do when he would be back is not posting an NFT advertisment ...

So in the end, it is all about NFT. It is a good scam effort to shill and try to sell that NFT at as most expensive price as possible.

3 NFTs

Plus the funny part is why do the person thinks that he would be using some other Altcoin, when he is the one who invented bitcoins ?! That's stupid. I hope they leave his account alone.

Who will readily to buy that NFT? Newbies or experienced investors? I believe if there is a person who buy it, it would be a newbie.

satoshi won't publicly appear for any reason because it breaks the original reason why satoshi decided to leave the community, to make it totally decentralized. No convincing reason to appear again.

Hacks on accounts of satoshi is not terrible. The most terrible thing is anyone can move Bitcoin from wallets which owned by satoshi. It see the probability for it is almost 0.

~ posted an advertisement of NFT's on Friday. Most likely his account is hacked,
Either the return of Satoshi or he got hacked again,
There is no reason to doubt that this is a scam, a very obvious one at that too.
If Satoshi some day came back, he won't be so desperate to run a fundraising scam through a very centralized shitcoin using NFTs. How much money is such a scam going to raise anyways? Even if Satoshi had only mined a handful of blocks that would be hundreds of bitcoin worth millions of dollars.
And he definitely won't post anything anywhere without providing a solid proof such as a digital signature.

If the post was as displayed on the Archive site, it seemed a legitimate question that was seemingly promptly deemed as spam, rather than taking a wee breath to verify the claim to some extent (that shifts the focus from the post being on pointing out something weird going on, and not really attemting to span).

As a side note, there was this three years ago that stirred some buzz at the time:

Sorry for the quick post, but if you go to the original bitcoin post posted by Satoshi in the p2p foundation website, it seems that Satoshi's account posted an advertisement of NFT's on Friday. Most likely his account is hacked, I did a google search if he is hacked recently and it turned up nothing, so maybe I am the first person documenting this. I took a permalink, it is here http://p2pfoundation.ning.com/xn/detail/2003008:Comment:169634
By looking the account, it seems that it's the legit account Satoshi announced Bitcoin.

Either the return of Satoshi or he got hacked again, but it makes me wonder why nobody has documented so far (I think so, I only have checked google)
Hacking the account of Satoshi will not attributes the falling of bitcoin and besides we have many people that is using the name of Satoshi to commit crime everytime, so fake satoshi's is everywhere so how can we know if it is the real Satoshi that they hacked his account, on your own op, how many Satoshi have you come across in the Bitcoin discussion board, and on your own do believe that Satoshi account can be hacked, because i believe he knows and anti decoders or anti hackers group

There is this thread on Reddit mentioned it a couple of days ago, although the OP was deleted after being categorized as a spammer:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/roqe0t/post_from_satoshis_p2p_foundation_account/
You can't see the content now, but when I found it on Google a moment ago, it seemed to simply be pointing it out, and not spamming. Of course it could have been a scheme to draw attention to the allegedly rehacked account post's content.
Google displays:

Hey everyone, please forgive me if I am completely misunderstanding something, but it looks to me like a post was made from Satoshi's P2P Foundation…

Does anybody know what happened to the account once hacked in 2014? (i.e. what happened to the control over the account). Strangely enough, the two accounts that posted matter-of-factly afterwards, are also long standing accounts that previously posted on that thread.
