Satoshi could be a cucumber.

And because nobody else has the balls to say it, I will. You're a motherfuckin' asshole! By your post history it's clearly obvious that you start threads with this newbie account so to have a thread to reply to with your other accounts participating in sig campaigns.

The basic questions you asked above could've easily been found via Google by a second grader, but here you are asking them in spite of knowing which way is up in this space according to your post history.

TBC, in case you missed it because you may be as dense as a rock, GO FUCK YOURSELF!

Couple of Secret Gov organizations teamed up to pretend to be Satoshi.
That is why they can't find the guy , it is not a single person.

Example the BTC Genesis Block was not created on a single standard PC.

Satoshi has over ~1.5 Million BTC that not even 1 has been sold, that is a lot of money for 1 person to refrain from accessing.

Plus even when his creation is being split in 2 by the bickering of the BTC community , he remains silent.

I used to think that too until Wright came along. Unless Wright is a fake.

And where do you get 1.5 million Bitcoins from? That number keeps growing. The highest I've heard is 1.1 million, which is enough to crash Bitcoin if Satoshi ever decides to dump it all.

it is very simple satoshi is the biggest proof of bitcoin anonymity.

we all know bitcoin is not completely anonymous but this shows us that if you want, you can reach a level to be completely anonymous when using bitcoin.

Satoshi seems to be the one who stood as the mastermind when for the technology which is now been popularized by his followers. If its a community then we too a are members of it.

Bitcoin is already popular. Are you hinting at another "technology"?

Until now nobody know who's Satoshi or Nakamoto is? And even for a decades come none of the member in this industry will never never find out who really the creator of bitcoin. But it does not matter at all, At least many people around the world thru his master piece which is Bitcoin changed the life"s of many especially in financial aspect and technology.

Satoshi was active on this forum and other Cryptography forums, until Gavin was approached by the US Government, then
Satoshi just went quite. This is where all the conspiracy theories started, that he was assassinated or murdered for his coins and all that nonsense.

I think Satoshi is a group of people, and one of them died. < We know who he is >

I think they might have exposed themselves, but then they saw what happened with Dorian Nakamoto < media circus > and they just decided to stay hidden.

Like many experts conclude, Satohshi's decision was right as it has not impacted bitcoin ecosystem in any ways.

His decision to remain anonymous have saved bitcoin from getting dumped to pennies and i can't remain out of fear that if someone reveal himself it may become disaster for bitcoin/price.

- May be one person because if it was a group it will be hard for them to remain anonymous.

Yes and no. I guess Satoshi would have led a big team but none of team members would have contacted each other, their only point of contact must have been Satoshi. This way, I guess it would be easy for Satoshi to go anonymous completely with his all team members.

- Because as bitcoin is meant to be used anonymously he may be trying to establish an example of anonymity himself Wink

- May be many have meet him but nobody seem to have meet him as an inventor of bitcoin.
- May be one person because if it was a group it will be hard for them to remain anonymous.

Satoshi created bitcoins as a decentralised currency and he wished to free people from banking sectors. Bitcoin has become the worst nightmare for most of bankers and governments. He might have thought he would face a safety issue from such people and he decided to hide his identity.

Wright is nothing but a tax dodger, if he had access to the Satoshi's BTC , he would cash out.

I would say, based on this wonderful blog post by Sergio
The Well Deserved Fortune of Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin creator, Visionary and Genius i would guess anywhere between 1 million and 1.5 million.

Satoshi is the one who laid the foundation for such a technology. For a long he was found active in the forum, and in a short he was missing and only very few knew his identity. Several years has passed and as none is sure of the identity, people used to mention top developers as Satoshi.

I am sure that nobody knew his identity not even Gavin Andresen.There is thing called privacy and he really wanted that and so is the reason he hid his identity and he really wanted the focus to be on the coin rather than speculating about the genious of the inventor and he might have thought that mystery would certainly hype his invention .

Yup knowing that his invention will soon be well known , maybe he really wants a peaceful life. Same in his invention identity of bitcoin users is not as much as necessary in transactions. His invention makes it more unique and interesting because of it. His invention reflects him. Wanting privacy and having security in transactions.

Satoshi is unknown and he created bitcoin for an unknown purpose, possibly bitcoin is an experiment if blockchain technology works. The reason why he hide his identity is not clear, possibly he had realized later in time that hiding his identity is not a good idea and later he showed himself in public and nobody would believe that he is Satoshi. But whatever reason it maybe I thank him for creating bitcoin. Bitcoin changed my life thanks to Satoshi.

we know nothing about satoshi nakamoto.

probably one of bitcoin users has meet satoshi but probably he does not know it.

satoshi is assumed as one person, but we do not know whether it is right or not.

the thing is, we do not really know his identity. that's all.

ُSatoshi made bitcoin blockchain and infrastructure in resemblance to the universe and an ecosystem with a circle instead of usual pyramid where those on top get every thing. I believe he is active and never left the community and is contributing using several accounts here.

Seriously if someone finds a water well in a desert, he shouldn't sit on top of it and claim the water, what Satoshi did was the best thing for bitcoin because he did his part and the rest is for people to have.

a) He cares about his privacy a lot.
b) He has some mental issues and is scared to reveal anything about himself.
c) He was forced (by some government, ...) to not reveal his identity and pretend he is not active.
d) He is dead.

I will be very pleased if he posts just one message on this forum. I know it won't help Bitcoin at all if he reveals his identity. However, I care about him as a person. I just want to know if he is alive.

From the hypothetical reasons you mentioned a) and d) seem to be the most possible scenarios.
I don't believe that he was force by someone to leave, at the time of his disappearance bitcoin was not big at all, it was minor project, and BTC was worth fracture of its current value.
Someone would have to be a clairvoyant to force satoshi to leave at that time.

If Satoshi is just one person I'm not surprised that he doesn't want to reveal his identity. Besides some fame and glory this would probably give him a lot of troubles. So, we will probably never know his true identity and he will enjoy the fortune and fruits of his work in secrecy. Good for him.

Yeah for now no can be still say that who is satoshi nakamoto or his real identity and where he lives.
Do you think who are mining large farm in china is the owner of satoshi?
Well maybe in the future satoshi will reveal after release it by banks.. it locally.. and legal..

For me, it's weird that Satoshi basically disappeared. If I remember correctly he never withdraws any coins from his publicly known accounts and he isn't active on the forum either. I'm starting to think that some serious thing happened.
a) He cares about his privacy a lot.
b) He has some mental issues and is scared to reveal anything about himself.
c) He was forced (by some government, ...) to not reveal his identity and pretend he is not active.
