He is nobody.

An imaginary character, a ghost. He represents CIA or Apple Inc. or something big like one of those.

he's 100 most influential people in the world, at the time the magazine, published in the year 2030, maybe Lol haha
Maybe not because bitcoin is the influencing thing not satoshi because if satoshi is the influencing person we know him and we can see his picture or him.

While we may not know who he (or she) was, we know what he did. He was the inventor of the bitcoin protocol, publishing a paper via the Cryptography Mailing List in November 2008.

He then released the first version of the bitcoin software client in 2009, and participated with others on the project via mailing lists, until he finally began to fade from the community toward the end of 2010.

He worked with people on the open-source team, but took care never to reveal anything personal about himself, and the last anyone heard from him was in the spring of 2011, when he said that he had “moved on to other things”.

But he was Japanese, right?

Best not to judge a book by its cover.Or in fact, maybe we should.

“Satoshi” means "clear thinking, quick witted; wise". “Naka” can mean “medium, inside, or relationship”. “Moto” can mean “origin”, or “foundation”.

Those things would all apply to the person who founded a movement by designing a clever algorithm. The problem, of course, is that each word has multiple possible meanings.

We can’t know for sure whether he was Japanese or not. In fact, it’s rather presumptuous to assume that he was actually a ‘he’.

We’re just using that as a figure of speech, but allowing for the fact that this could have been a pseudonym, ‘he’ could have been a ‘she’, or even a ‘they’.

Does anyone know who Nakamoto was?

No, but the detective techniques that people use when guessing are sometimes even more intriguing than the answer. The New Yorker’s Joshua Davis believed that Satoshi Nakamoto was Michael Clear, a graduate cryptography student at Dublin's Trinity College.

He arrived at this conclusion by analyzing 80,000 words of Nakamoto’s online writings, and searching for linguistic clues. He also suspected Finnish economic sociologist and former games developer Vili Lehdonvirta.

Both have denied being bitcoin’s inventor. Michael Clear publicly denied being Satoshi at the 2013 Web Summit.

anonymous group of peopleAdam Penenberg at FastCompany disputed that claim, arguing instead that Nakamoto may actually have been three people: Neal King, Vladimir Oksman, and Charles Bry. He figured this out by typing unique phrases from Nakamoto’s bitcoin paper into Google, to see if they were used anywhere else.

One of them, "computationally impractical to reverse," turned up in a patent application made by these three for updating and distributing encryption keys. The bitcoin.org domain name originally used by Satoshi to publish the paper had been registered three days after the patent application was filed.

It was registered in Finland, and one of the patent authors had traveled there six months before the domain was registered. All of them deny it. Michael Clear also publicly denied being Satoshi at the 2013 Web Summit.

In any case, when bitcoin.org was registered on August 18th 2008, the registrant actually used a Japanese anonymous registration service, and hosted it using a Japanese ISP. The registration for the site was only transferred to Finland on May 18th 2011, which weakens the Finland theory somewhat.

Others think that it was Martii Malmi, a developer living in Finland who has been involved with bitcoin since the beginning, and developed its user interface.

A finger has also been pointed at Jed McCaleb, a lover of Japanese culture and resident of Japan, who created troubled bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox and co-founded decentralized payment systems Ripple and later Stellar.

Another theory suggests that computer scientists Donal O'Mahony and Michael Peirce are Satoshi, based on a paper that they authored concerning digital payments, along with Hitesh Tewari, based on a book that they published together. O’Mahony and Tewari also studied at Trinity College, where Michael Clear was a student.

Israeli scholars Dorit Ron and Adi Shamir of the Weizmann Institute retracted allegations made in a paper suggesting a link between Satoshi and Silk Road, the black market web site that was taken down by the FBI in October 2013. They had suggested a link between an address allegedly owned by Satoshi, and the site. Security researcher Dustin D. Trammell owned the address, and disputed claims that he was Satoshi.

In May 2013, Internet pioneer Ted Nelson threw another hat into the ring: Japanese mathematician Professor Shinichi Mochizuki, although he admits that the evidence is circumstantial at best.

In February 2014, Newsweek’s Leah McGrath Goodman claimed to have tracked down the real Satoshi Nakamoto. Dorian S Nakamoto has since denied he knows anything about bitcoin, eventually hiring a lawyer and releasing an official statement to that effect.

Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto
No, Satoshi Nakamoto is not a 64-year-old Japanese man living in California, probably...
Hal Finney, Michael Weber, Wei Dai and several other developers were among those who are periodically named in media reports and online discussions as potential Satoshis. A group of forensic linguistics experts from Aston University believe the real creator of bitcoin is Nick Szabo, based upon analysis of the Bitcoin White Paper.

Dominic Frisby, a comedian and a writer, also suggests that BitGold creator Szabo was the most likely candidate to be Satoshi in his book, “Bitcoin: The Future of Money”. His detailed analysis involved the linguistics of Satoshi's writing, judging the level of technical skill in C++ and even Satoshi's likely birthday.

In Nathaniel Popper's book, 'Digitial Gold', released in May 2015, Popper reveals that in a rare encounter at an event Szabo again denied that he was Satoshi.

For the most part, all of these potential Satoshi's have insisted they are not Nakamoto. Michael Weber has not yet responded to Business Insider's article.

So what do we know about him?

One thing we know, based on interviews with people that were involved with him at an early stage in the development of bitcoin, is that he thought the system out very thoroughly.

His coding wasn’t conventional, according to core developer Jeff Garzik, in that he didn’t apply the same rigorous testing that you would expect from a classic software engineer.

How rich is he?

many bitcoin coins

An analysis by Sergio Lerner, an authority on bitcoin and cryptography, suggests that Satoshi mined many of the early blocks in the bitcoin network, and that he had built up a fortune of around 1 million unspent bitcoins. That hoard would be worth $1bn at November 2013’s exchange rate of $1,000.

What is he doing now?

No one knows what Satoshi is up to, but one of the last emails he sent to a software developer, dated April 23 2011, said “I’ve moved on to other things. It’s in good hands with Gavin and everyone.”

Did he work for the government?

There are rumors, of course. People have interpreted his name as meaning “central intelligence”, but people will see whatever they want to see. Such is the nature of conspiracy theories.

The obvious question would be why one of the three-letter agencies would be interested in creating a cryptocurrency that would subsequently be used as an anonymous trading mechanism, causing senators and the FBI alike to wring their hands about potential terrorism and other criminal endeavours. No doubt conspiracy theorists will have their views on that, too.

Perhaps it doesn’t matter. Core developer Jeff Garzik puts it succinctly. “Satoshi published an open-source system for the purpose that you didn’t have to know who he was, and trust who he was, or care about his knowledge,” he points out. Open-source code makes it impossible to hide secrets. “The source code spoke for itself.”

Moreover, it was smart to use a pseudonym, he argues, because it forced people to focus on the technology itself rather than on the personality behind it. At the end of the day, bitcoin is now far bigger than Satoshi Nakamoto.

Having said that, if the real Satoshi Nakamoto is out there – get in touch!

of course.
this is from wikipedia.com

Satoshi Nakamoto (中本哲史 Nakamoto Satoshi?) is a person or group of people who created the Bitcoin protocol and reference software, Bitcoin Core (formerly known as Bitcoin-Qt). In 2008, Nakamoto published a paper[1][2] on The Cryptography Mailing list at metzdowd.com[3] describing the Bitcoin digital currency. In 2009, he released the first Bitcoin software that launched the network and the first units of the Bitcoin currency, called bitcoins.[4][5]

Nakamoto continued to collaborate with other developers on the Bitcoin software until mid-2010. Around this time, he handed over control of the source code repository and network alert key to Gavin Andresen,[6] transferred several related domains to various prominent members of the Bitcoin community, and stopped his involvement in the project.

The public Bitcoin transaction log shows that Nakamoto's known wallets contain roughly one million bitcoins. As of June 2015, this was the equivalent of US$250 million.[7][8] Nakamoto's true identity remains unknown, and has been the subject of much speculation. It is not known whether the name "Satoshi Nakamoto" is real or a pseudonym, or whether the name represents one person or a group of people.

just hope he is not this guy trying to overthrow all of the world





Satoshi you 'fiend'  he then dumps all his BTC in a 1 hr period YIKES! Smiley

I am here to reveal and unmask the real Satoshi Nakamoto the inventor of Bitcoin. He is no one in the Bitcoin Community or in the Cyberpunks group. He is not a Japanese man. Satoshi Nakamoto is a British Asian Digital Scientist and Mathematician. Who discovered the Bitmark Algorithm Formula in May 2007 and invented Bitcoin and Blockchain Technology. I am the Spoke Person of Satoshi Nakamoto. Satoshi Nakamoto will permit me soon to reveal his identity. Please wait for a little while.

I am here in the Bitcoin Talk Forum to reveal some information that I am permitted to reveal about Satoshi Nakamoto the inventor of Bitcoin. He invented Bitcoin in May 2007 after 14 years of constant research on digital electronic currency. He invented Bitcoin from his bed room in house in Mardell Road Croydon South London. I have met Satoshi Nakamoto many times, after two years of research on Bitcoin. I have spent £160,000 Pound to travel around the world to find information about the mysterious inventor of Bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto. Indeed, he is not a mysterious person at all. He is a very humble man. :: The report I am publishing here is 100% accurate. :: I myself asking a question to every Bitcoin Talk Forum members, why you have failed to find Satoshi Nakamoto? You can not answer my question because the Bitcoin Community Leaders the Computer Hackers do not want you to know who is real Satoshi Nakamoto. There is a serious secret behind Bitcoin about their association with the Bitcoin. They want to keep their secret concealed under a cloud so no body will know their Dread Pirate Hijacking of the Bitcoin Project from Satoshi Nakamoto. But I have managed to uncovered every mystery and secret about Bitcoin and Satoshi Nakamoto and about the DPRs. Silk Road was not first project of the DPRs. Dread Pirate Roberts is not only Ross Ulbricht but there are three Roberts there who are the real DPRs, those who are a well organised computer hackers. Satoshi Nakamoto the inventor of Bitcoin was their first victim. They hijacked the Bitcoin Project from Satoshi Nakamoto with a dreadful pirate attack. These organised computer hackers were working under the wings of the British Metroplitan Police Department. They used Croydon Police and Judiciary to commit the dreadful pirate attack on Satoshi Nakamoto. One of the DPR took a job in the Croydon Metropolitan Police as Detective Constable but his main job wast to Hijack the Bitcoin Project from Satoshi Nakamoto. They arrested Mr. Satoshi Sakamoto with a false accusation masterminded by the computer hackers, those who were sponsored by a well organised entity who has an affiliation to the Secret Service of the Anglo American Finanancial Establishment. Satoshi Nakamoto is am individual. He told me, he has suffered dreadfully because of his invention Bitcoin. Also he said, he wish that he did not inven Bitcoin. He regret for his own invention. But why a scientist regret for his own invention such as Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a break through and a successful financial invention but why Mr. Satoshi Nakamoto is regretting for his own invention Bitcoin? The whole financial community and the Bitcoin community want to know who is Satoshi Makamoto but the Leaders of the Bitcoin Community do not want every one to know who is Satoshi Nakamoto? Because the Bitcoin Community leaders are the close associates of the DPRs. They are now attacking Satoshi Nakamoto to oppress him. Why does this organised hackers are oppressing Satoshi Makamoto? He has no interest in Bitcoin. The computer hackers have stolen all the Bitcoin from Satoshi Nakamoto. Satoshi Nakamoto do not own any Bitcoin at all. The computer hackers have stolen all the Bitcoin and divided among themselves. Satoshi Nakamoto has forgiven all the hackers those who have hijacked his Bitcoin project. >>>

Mr. TippingPoint,

You are a Hiro Member in the  Bitcoin Talk Forum. You should not insult any one. You have no knowledge of 'BitcoinTail' so it is better for you to go to Primary School to learn a, b, c, d. You will receive a Certificate of Accreditation according to you merit and credential. BSS.

If you disagree about any thing, you can point out your ground of disagreement. If you insault any one there is a consequences. So be wise. It cost you no Bitcoin to be wise.

Wow, who are you, the BCT Police? As for Schooling, you appear to really need some in spelling and basic English grammer.  Good luck with that! Tongue

I see that most of people voted for someone called "Nick  Szabo" also Wikipedia don't have really informations about him and I never seen some of his statements or something is he that hard to find   , how come I never heard of him and when I googled on images his name it gives pictures of Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto or Gavin Andreesen and other people  Huh

EDIT : http://www.ronpaulforums.com/content.php?8484-Nick-Szabo-Alleged-creator-of-Bitcoin-is-a-Ron-Paul-supporter is it him ?

Your writing is not clear. Who do you mean by 'he' Nick Szabo or Satoshi Nakamoto? I am the Spoke Person of Satoshi Nakamoto. I am here answer all question about Bitcoin and about Satoshi Nakamoto. Feel free to ask me. Nick Szabo or Gavin Andresen is not Satoshi Nakamoto. Satoshi Nakamoto met Nick Szabo once in December 2013. Satoshi Nakamoto is Sone one else.
