Topic: Some dude claims to have met Satoshi in 1993. (Read 503 times)

Just another one of those who use the name of Bitcoin creator to gain attention.
There is nothing that could support their claim and all of us could make up those kind of stories, nothing special just another one who wants attention.

It's possible, but "it's possible" is not the point. The point is even if he met Satoshi in 1993, or if Satoshi "went in his dreams", merely saying something like that is making him look like he's psychologically unstable.

 

Chad Saylor's reaction was priceless. He already knew something was wrong.


"I met Satoshi", buy my Pippencoin?

It's typically more for the clout. He's a known legend in basketball and a champion and that's why he can say whatever he wants to say.
Welp, for the last part of what you've said. Satoshi chose that because he/she/they knows what's about to come when the identity is revealed.
We can be positive here and just think of it that it's much better of what Pippen said than of CSW.

Eventually, we would come to know and agree that every now and then, someone is going to poop out of the blue and have some claim to have discovered or met or actually is Satoshi Nakamoto. It’s a name that has come to make whom ever makes any claims relating to it famous for a little while and then they are back again to the hole where they came from. The good news is, Bitcoiners have learnt to better ignore these persons each time they rise up, not to give them too much attention so, they don’t feel that sense of importance and eventually, die out real fast.

First of all, Scottie Pippen is a legend.  It is crazy there are people here who don't know who he is.  The guy was Michael Jordan's sidekick for 6 championships.

However, it is also well known that Scottie Pippen was horribly underpaid.  Possibly one of the worst superstar contracts of all time and he nearly won an MVP while Jordan was playing baseball.  Jerry Krause was the GM for the Bulls and all the players hated him.  Michael Jordan was the only one who got paid and even that took a while.  Had Jerry Krause not been unwilling to give Scottie a decent contract, we wouldn't be seeing him shill his reputation and championship ball to try and get some BTC.  Jerry Krause is also the guy responsible for breaking up the Bulls after their second 3-peat.  Jordan wanted to go for 4.

myth busting:

a. bitcoin wasnt made until genesis block 2009, nor mentioned/theorised(whitepaper) until 2008.. so saying he met some dude 15 years earlier has no proof/relevance that it was satoshi he met.

b. someone coming up with a novel monetary system and wanted to remain anonymous would not use a name after the millenium that they have been publicly telling people for 15 years prior

c. if the basketball dude had a 15 year ongoing relationship to realise someone he met in 1993 then created bitcoin, he would have said 'ive known xyz since 1993 before he told me he invented zyx'.. he would not just say it as if he met someone once and that was it (the demeanour of what he says)

seems the basketball dude is trying(and failing) to raise his crypto reputation... let me guess he is going to release some ordinal tokens soon for a high preset price, due to 'fame'

I don’t actually know him but I agree, it’s only him who can very his words. Because for me, I don’t care if he meant his words or not. So what if he had met and known Satoshi? That was already a long time ago, and it won’t never create a huge impact to bitcoin community these days. All I am sure of is that, Satoshi has its valid reason why he chose to stay anonymous until now. And it’s clearly benefiting us right now.

I would set aside the personal matters and won't describe him as weak just because of that. I never knew him personally but only in the TVs during his ball career.
But with these tweets, it could just be a bait for him to gain more relevance because we're in a bull run. A man like him transitions into a celebrity and would things to remain relevant.

That's just a story that only him knows the real details, himself can only tell such stories and it's up to the readers whether they'll believe him or not, to his truth or to his lies.

It possible he met with Satoshi some years ago either in primary school or they live in the same society in their childhood before Satoshi later became who he is or who they are today,but it will not convince or change people to believe him because many people have came up with different lies to tell people that they are Satoshi the BTC founder. My observation, is that the man is trying to make some Bitcoiners around him to know that he have influence in the pumping and dumping of BTC price just to convince some of them that lack the knowledge of BTC because it will be hard for him to convince people that have the knowledge of BTC in the industry.

 If I see any message like this on social media or this forum, what will come into my mind, the person is a scammer trying to scam people because claiming to met Satoshi will not make people to believe whatever you are going to advertise or showcase to them without genuine proof.

Who were the cryptographers/computer scientists during 1993 in Seattle? Because let's pretend that it was true, that Scottie Pippen actually met Satoshi during that year. The best computer scientists in that region of the United States were probably working in Microsoft in Redmond, or teaching Computer Science in schools like the University Of Washington? Satoshi programmed the first implementation of Bitcoin in Windows which makes it a curious choice.

I mean for him to say he met Satoshi in 1993 just brings attention to the fact that Satoshi wasn't even Satoshi in 1993 and therefore discredits this guy's claims and makes him look like he doesn't know what he's talking about, at least that's what I gather from this. Does anyone else feel this way? Surely there are folks that know Satoshi and who he is but they probably don't also know that he is the creator of Bitcoin. And if its a group surely people would know them individually but never that they were in part or fully Satoshi. Satoshi wouldn't be that stupid. Why go through great lengths to keep your identity a secret only to have your real identity known & potential to be a wild card that could compromise you in the future. Unless someone organically figured it out, I feel like Satoshi just wouldn't be taking those type of risks. One of my favorite quotes by Ben Franklin. "Three can keep a secret if the other two are dead". I also do wonder if Satoshi has any skeletons in his closet to keep his identity a secret, its a possibility.

Heh, it would put Scotties knickers in a very tight twist to know he's being referred to as 'some dude'..  Love it!

He doesn't know how to distinguish someone.

Maybe He means Hal Finney because Hal created CRASH at that year. and Scottie unintentionally met him and they talked about it.

A honeypot can be anything that attracts the entities that the CIA wants to attract so they can monitor them in some way.


Bitcoin was originally conceived as a public ledger, so that right there makes it pretty easy to track by authorities. Yes, you can use things to thwart that tracking, but a) that wasn't really invented until later, so maybe "Satoshi" didn't think of that when they first created it; b) the act of using tradecraft alone is often all the CIA needs to get the information they need.

To be clear here, my theory very much depends on the actor(s) in question not thinking everything through, and creating something they did not exactly intend to create.

It's just a theory, but I think it's the best one so far.

Even if he has made some good predictions in the past about the price of bitcoin, that does not still prove that what he is postulating is true. I can't even for one day agree to those words; there are people who could have come up with such lies, and it will be a bit convincing. 
 
So let's assume he actually knew who Satoshi is and they were friends. What happened over these years? Why did it take him so long to come up with such a crap story? Well,  I can't find any suitable answer other than to say that he's just seeking attention, which he's probably getting because he's now trending online with such a statement.

Tbh, I'm no longer intrigued by all these claims of people about being related to or have been in contact with Satoshi in the past only now that Bitcoin is a global movement. Anybody that says such now is simply chasing clout and garner as much attention to themselves which doesn't make any sense when you come to think about it. If he met Satoshi in 1993, how does that story benefit the average bitcoin holder? It doesn't

Just think of the motives why he is claiming this, whether true or not. If you have no other intentions, you will just be grateful that you have met such person. And if you truly believe his ideas, you can take advantage of this market.
Many people have claimed of such, and yet, up until now, Satoshi himself doesn't want to reveal himself. So let's respect this decision and be contented for what we have. After all, we are already reaping the benefits of his invention in this humanity. Also, there's no benefit of this claim, what it would do to the community now? Or can it elevate the btc price level in the market? I don't think so.

We all have no idea if he’s telling the truth or not. But even if it’s true, still no one will care. If his purpose of telling it now, especially to the bitcoiners is to lure us in the future like what he did to his old fans before, then he is not in the position to do that or let’s say, claiming about Satoshi is never new to us. Unless if the real Satoshi comes out  and defend your claim, which I think is far from possible, we will believe on what this dude is saying.

Saylor was like WTF and then turned away from him and heard that Satoshi came to him in a dream and Saylor had to take another look at this dreamer. It was double WTF in 10 seconds.

Please... If someone said to me he met Satoshi, I'd want more information. Then he'd say in 93... How do you even know the guy you met in 93 was Satoshi? I bet that in 93 the guy wasn't even planning on using that nickname on this forum.

-hi Scottie, my name is Satoshi, I love how you play, let's be friends. By the way, I'm planning to write a code for a digital currency in about 8 years. 

There have been so many claims from people who say they have met, befriended or known Satoshi. Basically, none of this has any authentic evidence, it's just stories that may be true or false. But the point is, even if those were true, there would be no impact on Bitcoin, because i believe Bitcoin will belong to everyone, and it seems that will become increasingly clear in the future.

Don't feed the troll. He obviously did it for the temporary noise.

LMAO! It was too harsh to spit that horseshit in front of Saylor.

What do you mean as a "honeypot project"? A honeypot is usually when you design an environment that is used by hackers, for their operator to study and analyze their behavior. For example, Cloudflare could be a honeypot, because it is extensively presented in every page nowadays, and could collaborate with the government to provide valuable information from cyber attacks.

I don't see how this analogy would apply to a decentralized currency that comes with privacy features, if desired. If it was created by the NSA, wouldn't they disable things like SIGHASH_ANYONECANPAY, that allow privacy techniques like coinjoin to be implemented?

In my opinion anyone may be right saying they met Satoshi Nakamoto, but may not actually know him as a brain behind bitcoin. because he or they chose to remain anonymous. Over the years most people have came up with some speculation that they knew who Satoshi is. some even claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, but all appears to be false, only to attract attention and recognition.

Do you think scottie was smart enough to met satoshi back then in 1993? Probably I'll say pippen is a weak guy whose wife left him and started dating Jordan's son, also refused the invitation by Kim jong Un from north korea while he had opportunity to visit there but later on rodman went N.K. I've seen twice, thrice post of him on Twitter claiming that satoshi came in his dream and told him that blah blah blah about bitcoin future, i don't remember but yeah he gave the actual date that bitcoin will reach ath or something (whatever happened/'ll/s that is only an imposter prophecy for the audience) and probably those dreams are day dreamed after a one cocaine snort.

Just like Joan9269 said all these really don't matter. besides those that actually know Satoshi would not want to come out publicly to announce it because of the negative things it packs. The truth is many people that fall for these kind of awkward news really don't understand the concept of bitcoin and how it works. The fact is Satoshi being called a pseudenonymous entity sends a certain information.

Though the internet isn't 100% certain about it, there are actually conspiracies that Satoshi isn't a single person and it all seems to make sense since bitcoin seems too complex for a single person to create alone. It's possible Satoshi was simply a group with "Satoshi" as the head.

So, there's more to this story of Scottie Pippen. He has tweeted some good prediction that did happened although on the exact date but with the price that he has mentioned. Now, he has met Satoshi in 1993? only him can tell the truth, maybe true, maybe for the sake of attention.

And so the curiosity drives on, 😏 the cases of people claiming to have met or known Satoshi is now something of a mere joke as so many people just wants to feed up that curiosity.  Although both Micheal Saylor and others are not some kind of expert when it comes to this issue but the fact that what the guy is saying is full of crabs just makes people's opinion of him stand, I mean how would you even say that Satoshi comes to you sometimes in the dream.😅 Am very certain this isn't the last person who would claim to see or even claim to be Satoshi himself and all these claims lack hard evidence to back it up.

Baloney.

Folks, the only theory that makes sense so far is that "Satoshi" was an worker, or group of wokers at the CIA or NSA.

That's the only thing that can explain the fact that "Satoshi" continues to sit on $200B in Bitcoin without selling it.

The only other explanation is that he died suddenly and in a way that absolutely nobody knew what he did or who he was. But this is extremely unlikely: dying suddenly like that is statistically very unlikely, and it's even more unlikely that there would be nobody around him who could at least have a guess that he might be Satoshi.

Now imagine you are the worker at the CIA/NSA who decided, one day, to create Bitcoin as a honeypot project. Both of these agencies have plenty of personnel on the payroll who could do it, and somebody working there would probably have no problem convincing their boss they be allowed to work on this project because presumably it would have upsides for the agency.

Now imagine that worker started Bitcoin, and then in grew... and grew... and grew...

Now what do you do? First of all, you can't sell your Bitcoin (it's not "yours", it belongs to the US government... sorta). And selling it would absolutely expose you and the secret project since and lump of money like that would need to be reported to Congress (even a small amount money, like a few million way back when, would need to be reported and would compromise the secret).

So you keep the Bitcoin, you disappear your public avatar, and make like the project never existed, keeping the project as one of the country's deepest-held secrets.

That's the only theory I've ever seen that explains everything we know about Satoshi--besides the one that I think is very unlikely.

Scottie: I met Satoshi in my dream as well as in 1993...

Moderator: you seem to have a good relationship with Satoshi (sacarsm)

Scottie: (Not realizing the sacarsm) "I feel like I DO"
how hilarious that is ... Especially since it's coming from the same guy that claimed to be greater than MJ.

---

..and yet again, just after craig has been silenced for a while, another impersonator is out... This time, they ain't claiming to be Satoshi himself (like others do) bahahahahaha!!!!
This is clearly just another wannabe Satoshi story teller. Let's see how far he goes with this claims

Obviously, we all know everyone that was part of Bitcoin's creation right from onset,and it's quite understandable that some of them are yet to be noticed or mentioned.I see that all these claims are just to distract people and put them in a state of bewilderment.He seems very serious about what he's doing and saying;but let's see how far he can go with this.

The questions you raised are the questions. I always want to raise when I see posts like this. One thing I can't understand is why Satoshi is being commented on so much or has even met him but no one has been able to find any explanation for this. Everything happened just through such discussions. It's nothing more than creating tension between others or us.

And I think it's impossible to find Satoshi. If it was possible, then all these years wouldn't have passed like this. He could have been found inside. But since he couldn't be found, it can be said that he can't be found anymore.

Really Scottie Pippen of the Chicago Bulls dynasty?

I would agree if he says that he met, Black Jesus, -> Michael Jordan, hehehe.

But saying that he met Satoshi when it was not even in the development stage? That's crazy? I guess he really has to say something, as he had his book sitting, in the shelf, Unguarded Hardcover.

That look says it all lmao. He's already done with that talk especially the last seconds of the clip lmao.

---

Any claim without any proof is considered an obvious fake. I wonder if the host/mod ask any proof from him from that talk lmao.

1993?

Thats 16 years before Bitcoin was released into the wild, Satoshi probably didnt
even start working on it at that stage.

OK the guy claims to have met Satoshi in 1993, it doesnt change anything and I
dont know how he  can associate some guy back in 1993 to Satoshi, maybe he met
some other guy working on a "digital money" project that never made it...

Anyway for me its another meh moment.

Honestly it’s hard and almost impossible to believe someone who makes claims like meeting Satoshi back in 1993. especially when no one even heard of Bitcoin until the 2009.
These types of statements without any proof, make it look like he is just trying to grab attention or possibly pull off some sort of scam. For me, when people put out unverifiable claims like this because it raises lots of red flags. If he can’t provide solid evidence then it’s probably just another conspiracy. I would stay cautious and only trust what can be proven.

Chad Saylor merely being a chad, and knowing a lie when the lie is being told. Tin-foil hate conspiracy theory, he is being blackmailed/paid by some nefarious entities/state-level actors to tell some lies, get everyone's attention, to divide and/or to disrupt the community. Because why is he doing this? Everyone knows, and Scottie Pippen himself knows that everyone knows, that it's a mere lie.

 🤔

As I don't want to give importance to the tweet quoted link by you, I am deleting the link. I am sure this individual will be someone who would like to get more influence and become like faketoshi in a new way. There is a limit to such shots but the genaration now is looking to do anything to get famous.

I won't be surprised that this tweet might help him gain some more followers. In the end this guy will lose them when someone from this forum or a Bitcoin loyalist question him and his integrity. The time has come when such fake propoganda accounts like this one are taken down by X.

So what if he met Satoshi in 1993? Will he reveal his identity? Will he say that he was actually involved in the creation of bitcoin? People these days would make up lies just to chase some clout and unsurprisingly many foolish people would believe it and now give him attention.

It’s just better to ignore people like this. It’s like they are just seeking out attention because they are no longer relevant. Though, I am curious to see how he plans on making money through this because I am sure this lie will end up with him capitalizing on it.

Even without the rugpull, the way he's come out and said it already means he shouldn't be taken seriously.

And of course he rugpulled his fans. Almost anyone who's done a sports NFT has. Any "tokenised" "real world" sale that tanks 95% after launch has to be a scam. But you know, he can always claim it was his advisors, like all the other athletes. Like the guy, but can't say for sure that anything any athlete "says" online is what actually is.

Another Joseph maybe?

 Here's another one where he claimed Satoshi revealed Bitcoin price to him. Although the article is about two months old, it still tells us a thing or two about the guy and I'm not surprised that this sorta thing is happening. He's an ex professional basketball player and when you no longer ball, you'd have to find a way to remain relevant in the social space so aside from him delving into NFTs that didn't favor him and switching to creating his own meme coin that still didn't have promise, I think the next best thing was to use to popular phrase "I've met Satoshi". Only, this one sounds a little delulu when he stated he was told the price at which Bitcoin would be on Nov 5, by Satoshi himself in a dream.

What I don't understand, OP... if you don't want to make firewood out of a fallen tree, well,  'just let it burn then... alone^byfM

(Periódico de ayer=old news=outdated news)
Man, I saw this news and I didn't even pay attention to it, even though I knew the guy in question, who... isn't just any person, at least in the aspect of being an even-tempered citizen and, to this day, only linked to the NBA and being nothing more and nothing less than the playmate of the best basketball player of all time, Michael Jordan.


Man, here CW has nothing to do and even less to say that every person is free to say what they want, it is not like that, at least not if you are an influential person and with the reputation of having been a person with credibility in some activity.

Here they always name MS but it is worth asking who the hell knows MS outside the niche area of ​​bitcoin, because even people linked to bitcoin do not know him...

In the case that concerns us, it would be very strange that a sports fanatic and especially of the NBA does not know this guy, in fact he is someone who is surely better known to his community than SN...

So it is worth asking the true background of this... is it not rather that MS is involved with this supposed idea in the voice of a new ambassador of microestrategy

They are probably doing this because of two reasons.
1. To grow there follows
They know very well that if they say such thing some people will start following them and that is because some people feels anyone close to Satoshi Nakamoto or working with him on Bitcoin creation will be very important in the world of cryptocurrency, however what some people has failed to understand is that Bitcoin is a decentralized coin and there's no way the number of Bitcoin can add more than the original number it was and so people who are claiming to be close to Satoshi Nakamoto has nothing to offer them and following such people won't be of any benefit.
If they have gotten the followers they want they will be using there page for content and making money out of it.

2. To scam people.
Some people uses this strategy of being close to Satoshi Nakamoto or working with him on Bitcoin creation to scam people, those that believe them will reach out to them and when they do they bring up strategy that they will use to defraud them.
I heard of something like this some time ago where a man came out and started telling people he worked with Satoshi Nakamoto to create Bitcoin and they are about working on another project and a lot of people were scammed of there money.
People should be guided in other to avoid being used by other people.

I can make the same claim. Craig Wright made a similar claim. (He didn’t say he met satoshi though, he said he is him) Making claims is free of charge. Every is free to make one. I don’t understand why this claim hit the news. To attract clicks probably. Since people never get tired of falling for clickbaits, clickbaiters will keep baitin us with clicks. Baitin. It is a very sick addiction. I would rather play dice games.

All these claims have no proves, we are only seeing them making such claims by post or words of mouth, there's no way to comfirm their true identity from Satoshi, very soon, more claims in different formats will continue to pop in.

I also don't believe this.

Maybe he want to use the Post to gain more followers from social media, so that people will begin to see him as a friend to Satoshi   which is not true, I have heard so many from some people in the social media claiming to be Satoshi, but they failed at the end to prove to people he is the real Satoshi, but I have never hear this one claiming to met Satoshi 1993, and it sound funny to me, how did him know that the Satoshi he met some years ago is the founder of bitcoin, if not that he is trying to deceive his followers to make some funds from them.

I don’t understand what he wants to gain from these lies... I was scrolling through YouTube earlier today when I saw the video; the expression on Michael Saylor's face was something else, it was like what the fuck is this dude saying..

The formal professional basketball player said Satoshi also comes to him in his dreams; is it not enough to say that he’s being delusional?

Scottie Pippen live chat

Saw this earlier today. He's famous former-NBA player apparently. Have you seen Saylor's reaction? https://x.com/TheBTCTherapist/status/1857870178090103038

I have also seen some people in the comments saying that he actually rugpulled his fans. I wouldn't take anything he says seriously if that's the case;

Probably another grift, but I'm just posting this to see you guys' opinion about it.

https://x.com/BTCYN/status/1857905625226743938


Never heard of this guy before until now.
