So many theories flying around. He could be dead or alive, and maybe reading this thread and laughing himself to stupor. The creator of Bitcoin really did a good job of keeping his/her identity secret and untraceable. This is great humility, imagine no one even recognizes the proprietor of the lost popular cryptocurrency in the world!

Why is he still so important today? Satoshi, just as Satoshi, is not very important anymore. What is important are the technology he formulated.

Hypothetically speaking, what if he just randomly died one day, yet no one knew, and everyone thinks he's alive still?

He used to be the most active member on this forum, then he just stopped. Maybe he had a heart attack one morning, he could have slipped down a staircase and banged his head, some guy could have dropped a rock from an airplane and it crushed him underneath, who knows?

Maybe he was an 80 year old man that, as a last resort to life, made Bitcoin, then died due to old age?

That's just rumor. No one knows too much about Satoshi's life. Speculation, the theorized are all curious about Bitcoin. The more curious about Bitcoin, Bitcoin has confirmed its longevity in the electronics market.

Satoshi Nakamoto cannot die, he will live in every bitcoin that is exchanged every day.

When Bitcoin will die then we could say that Satoshi Nakamoto is died.

Somewhere I read an article where it was written that the USSR developed a system that resembled blockchain. I understand that corrupt officials were interested that this system didn't appear. All governments and banks are against such a system. So Satoshi Nakamoto can be considered a Robin Hood, who in the world has a system of bypassing the government. He's looking where it'll lead Now. I apologize for my English.

One of the most hilarious to make me laugh so hard, made my day. If Satoshi would have died, he'd be considered a soldier, a martyr who fought against those old traditional techniques we call as BANKS currently which used to be looting us since ages by snatching our freedom to Finance. Satoshis can't die, because they're in our hearts, they'll always live till the existence of Bitcoins and beyond.

Hypothetically speaking, what if he just randomly died one day, yet no one knew, and everyone thinks he's alive still?
It wouldn't matter.
More on this matter, i watched bitcoin documentary and there was much very wise speculation who he was in one big circle of computer guys and he actually did die.
It don't affect bitcoin in any matter at all.

That really sounds good. I hope we can trust this "big circle of computer guys". I think this position is also very reasonable. What is the idea of creating the "currency of the future" if it cannot outlive you? Except of course you wish to live forever. Last I checked, this is impossible. So, basically no need for the scare. At least paper money outlive its inventors also.

We'll have to preserve it and place on a display. Pretty much that's what they did with Rasputin's penis.
If we wait long enough somebody will come up with a way to bring dead cells back to life. We might have a talking head of Satoshi, kept alive by advanced equipment. That would technically make him a cyborg, right?

Lol, that's a pretty crazy line of thought there. I mean all the talk about him being from the future. Just wow. BTC sure seems like something for the future. But seriously, is there any assurance that the currency will outlive the inventor? So many questions or uncertainties come to mind. I really want to be optimistic though. To think otherwise is rather too scary.

Maybe he was an 80 year old man that, as a last resort to life, made Bitcoin, then died due to old age?
Oh naa, I don't think he'll be that old. Satoshi will definitely be in his youthful age. I say so because all those who started crypto were young, and well what if they were his friends. The first group of people to start a new invention on the internet are always friends.

This is an old thread and in 2013 this was interesting but now it doesn't really matter anymore.
Alive or dead he can't influence BTC.
Maybe the value of BTC would skyrocket if he revealed his identity to the public but after some time things would go back to normal.
Whales manipulate the value of coins so one man can't do much. Not even Satoshi himself.

Every human being is destined to die, but the works do not die in view of the evolution that we see now. For example, the inventor of the fall, Thomas Edison, invented the lamp and illuminated the world and satoshi Nakamoto invented the Blockchain, which changed some of the concepts in the Internet that have become the control of all the requirements in our lives and it is better to consider the answer to the inventions

He is either dead or here. Probably here. He could be ANY of you.

Exactly what i think, it doesn't seem like the real Satoshi Nakamoto is interested in unveiling his identify for the world to know.
Anonymity provides privacy , protection and peace—three things that likely appeal to the owner of 5% of the entire crytocurrency in circulation Shocked Shocked Shocked
But is that really such a bad idea?
With the level of havoc it could wreak on the price of bitcoin and other crytocurrencies and internal politics, it is indeed better off that Nakamoto—whoever that is even if he's here with us—remain anonymous and inactive indefinitely....but he could atleast congratulate me with some of his treasures for this post Grin Grin

There is saying in my language which basically tells, that the work/legacy of a person is immortal. I think this is quite relevant for Satoshi (if we assume he is a person).

Thus, Satoshi Nakamoto will never die, because bitcoin will never die, blockchain will never die, cryptocurrency will never die (unless this world collapses),

There's a pretty convincing theory going around: Satoshi is a time-traveler who lived (lives? will live?) in a time where a Bitcoin-like system (possibly Bitcoin itself) is widespread. He "traveled" (is it actually "traveling" to "move" in time?) to a few years ago so he could own an exceptionally large number of bitcoins and sell a tiny amount in his current time. He alternately may have seen our time as being critical in mass surveillance and lack of freedom to transact, coming to our time to prevent utter domination by some type of oppressive whatever.

Unfortunately, I've forgotten too much of the plot to Discipline to know how similar they are. I know it has supernatural powers... chess... a handjob for drugs... .... Did he time-travel? The villain time-traveled, right?

Satoshi may also be an alien looking to observe what humans will do with this and how fast, to determine whether or not we're worth enslaving.

Haha. You're joking, right?

I've never heard this "theory" at all...and it sounds pretty ridiculous.

You're probably right, the existing theory that Satoshi is a human or group of humans that created bitcoin as the evolution of 20 years of cypherpunk talk and tries and fails is much less plausible than "Satoshi is a time traveler".

Good one!



I believe Satoshi was Hal Finney...and Hal Finney is dead, sadly. His illness got worse around the same time that Satoshi faded away from this forum and with contact with early developers. Hal was also the first person Satoshi interacted with to create node and conduct a transaction...that puts Hal at the center of all of this. Hal also once lived within miles of the Satoshi Nakamoto that was falsely "exposed" a few years back.

Another possible thing - maybe he just left Bitcoin community after doing main things that he wanted to do and now watching everything from distance. Maybe he even have alt account on bitcointalk Cheesy
We can create hundreds of conspiracy theories with question "What happened to Satoshi", but no one knows the right answer.

He is either dead or here. Probably here. He could be ANY of you.

I wanted to remain discreet, but you got me. I'll have to create another fake account now.

Hypothetically speaking, what if he just randomly died one day, yet no one knew, and everyone thinks he's alive still?

He used to be the most active member on this forum, then he just stopped. Maybe he had a heart attack one morning, he could have slipped down a staircase and banged his head, some guy could have dropped a rock from an airplane and it crushed him underneath, who knows?

Maybe he was an 80 year old man that, as a last resort to life, made Bitcoin, then died due to old age?


For him, she or them does not want publicity. Just wanted to change things to better. If he could create such a masterpiece without anyone tracing him, I do not think we will ever find out who he is.

There's a pretty convincing theory going around: Satoshi is a time-traveler who lived (lives? will live?) in a time where a Bitcoin-like system (possibly Bitcoin itself) is widespread. He "traveled" (is it actually "traveling" to "move" in time?) to a few years ago so he could own an exceptionally large number of bitcoins and sell a tiny amount in his current time. He alternately may have seen our time as being critical in mass surveillance and lack of freedom to transact, coming to our time to prevent utter domination by some type of oppressive whatever.

Unfortunately, I've forgotten too much of the plot to Discipline to know how similar they are. I know it has supernatural powers... chess... a handjob for drugs... .... Did he time-travel? The villain time-traveled, right?

Satoshi may also be an alien looking to observe what humans will do with this and how fast, to determine whether or not we're worth enslaving.

This is hilarious...I can't stop laughing...  Grin

I like the idea that Satoshi Nakamoto is a time traveler, that is awesome. It really opens up worlds of what is possible. Maybe he's an alien?

I don't think that is even possible right now though, as we have yet to make any contact at all with any aliens at all.

BITCOINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best Currency in the world.

For those that disagree, you know nothing about currency and Bitcoin's potential in the world.

I have come to know that Satoshi Nkamoto has been captured by NSA and they've been keeping him in Area 51 and forcing him to watch Miley Cyrus videos and listening to Britney Spears music in order to torture him. They apparently want to either get hold of all his wallets or force him to code a system that can take Bitcoin down.
