Topic: What happened to Satoshi Nakamoto? - page 2. (Read 2782 times)
well he did kinda abandon it imo, its extremely shady what happened. like you don't just leave a project completely after it has flourished especially after you founded it. my theory is that he was blackmailed and murdered explaining why he hasnt even anonymously said anything in the past 5 years.
i dont think that if satoshi would reappear it would be good to bitcoins as people would be afraid that he will start spending his bitcoins what would mean the price drop
I would prefer to see satoshi account active in btctalk even if he remains anonymous but i chose the fourth option since his return will not have a big effect tho since the bitcoin volume is already huge..
It will be VERY difficult for satoshi to remain anonymous if he would start using this forum again. One tiny mistake anywhere and whe would be exposed within hours.
People are lurking for clues way too much for him to risk any exposure like this.

Holding such ammount of coins ,and has a huge power to impact at bitcoin at the moment give some identy will ruin the main idea of the coin created to be anonymous,i guess he sometimes comes here and read some information ,always take a eye on the price of the bitcoin and well he has an exentric life that his or her work allowed him to take advantage being with such ammount of coins and having sold some enought to he and family doesnt need to work.
ok i think people need to learn the search function.. even google can find out results about the history of satoshi..
Nah, Satoshi must stay anonymous... If it turns out to be someone with a very bad history, it would mean the end of Bitcoin. The media will have a field day, and the shills for the
Bitcoin competitors will turn over every rock to get something bad to say about him/her/them. Something that might stir some interest could be if some of that 1 000 000 coins
could be donated to charity. The last act of kindness from the creator of Bitcoin, would make a huge difference.

Either it's me who can't find it through the forum's search function or it's not there any more.
I remember having seen it here before though and read some of the posts he was making in the beginning of this forum. Wanted to go back and read some of them for nostalgia but it's nowhere.
On a related note:
What would you say to him/her/them if the account in question started being active on these forums again or made an AMA?

if you are interested in his holy posts:
I would love to see satoshi here too. But is that account really from him?
Voted: Yes, but only if he can remain anonymous. Can't understand why is majority voting No if there is the option I voted. I'd love to have a chance to see Satoshi here. And it is proved that you can remain anonymous, remember backopy, he was here and nobody knows where he is now. )

Bitcoin haters hate the fact the creator is an anonymous figure whose personal life and political views are pretty much unknown. It does us a big favor. If he was a famous person, Bitcoin would get attacked through the personality and personal views of the creator, because haters are idiots that will use whatever weapons they can to discredit Bitcoin.
This the fact he is unknown gives the dirty cleck media no one to attack.
Yep, the media even had to invent that he was some poor guy named Dorian Nakamoto to have some sort of target. I wonder what they will come up next in order to be able to have an human figure behind the creation of Bitcoin so they can start dropping ad hominem and implying whatever the creator said was relevant to the fact the protocol and math is robust as an oak tree.

I think my first question would be, Why did you abandon your experiment? The second question would be, Can or will you ever spend your hoarded coins? That would answer some important questions for many people in this community. If I am allowed a third question, it would be < How do we stop the banks from stealing your technology? >
I wouldn't say he abandoned anything really, this forum is up and running and he let a couple successors control the bitcoin client and it's evolution. I think he did his part, now we the people are doing the other part of making btc a reality in the world and something people will have to get used to.
The account was locked as a security precaution. He probably won't get it unlocked unless he signs from an address that he controls. I would ask him the reason for leaving the development team so abruptly and not touching his BTC. Afterall, he could have just sold majority of them if he have control to it.
After the forum got hacked Theymos advised us all to change our passwords, especially if they were short or a common phrase. Satoshi probably had a strong password so it's not probable that his account was hacked, but even the best programmers aren't infallible. Sometimes they use a weak password to save time when logging in. I suppose it's always faintly possible his account was hacked so Theymos would have to ask him to sign a message given the importance of his account.
What I would do if I was him is to wait that 1 bitcoin reaches $50,000 - $100,000 and then I would announce that I would start moving and selling coins bit by bit. 95% of the coins I would sell and give to the humanitarian organizations and 5% or even less I would keep as a reward for changing this shitty world into a better place.
This would make Satoshi definitely a biggest man that ever walked the planet, if everything would go as I envisioned of course!

when it reaches to that height of price and then he also announce that he is starting to move and selling the coins . are you nuts that in that price he will sell and do you think that everyone will buy after he is selling. what a comment .
I am ready to bet my life that if he would announce selling his coins for helping people all over the world, price wouldn't fall a single percent. Not just that, but this would be the biggest story in the world by far and everyone would find out about Bitcoin, and even the biggest disbelievers would be obliged to change their minds.
If nothing, this would make price go even higher.

I voted for I don't care, btc is invented already, won't matter any more.
Doubt he will return either. If he was he probably would have done it by now. I would like to know if he still has access or plans to spend his coins, though.
