Topic: Who owns Bitcoin? - page 8. (Read 35998 times)
No one owns the protocol if that's what you mean, as it is open source. But everyone that has coins 'owns' a piece of bitcoin. It can probably be argued, however, that those who control the mining ultimately control the fate of the coin. Ask China
i dont think there is any legal owner of bitcoin nobody controls it not any person or any government . It is equal for all of us thats why we all love it
Automatically the owner of a wallet load with bitcoin or the person who control a wallet load with bitcoin is the owner of the Bitcoin inside the wallet account not Satoshi.
very good. in simple words that every one is the owner of the bitcoins one has. and no other one is the owner of bitcoin. some people says that satoshi is the owner of bitcoin but i dont think so i think he is just the fonder and the owner of bitcoin.
You do, I do, we all do. 
Yes, Mr. Satoshi Nakamoto invented/created the bitcoin, such a brilliant mind. I have read that he left the project in 2010 without identifying himself to the public. Maybe he already earned/paid much more to the bitcoin he developed or created.
i think these are just the speculation and no one still know who is satoshi nakamoto and where he is from? so i think it may be a false news and there will be no reality in it. because you can see so many people here who are claiming that they are satoshi and they have invested bitcoin. No one owns bitcoins, should a legal problem arise in future, the person who has the bitcoins would be sued not the inventor of bitcoin.
and why are people asking about the owner of the bitcoin. is it important to know about the owner of bitcoin. my personal view is that it is not important to know about the owner of bitcoin. he invented the currency and thats enough and now i am earning it like other fiat currency. so i think i am the owner of my currency and so every one is .

to me i dont believe that bitcoin belong to someone. i think every is the owner of bitcoin he has. it is a univesal currency and it is not belong to a particular person. i think no one can claim that he owns bitcoin and that the plus point of bitcoin that even now no one really know about the founder of bitcoin.
Bitcoin is invented by Satoshi Nakamoto but it is common knowledge that his identity is not known.If there arise any dispute related to bitcoin or its ownership,how would it be settled by court of law or in other words who is the legal owner of bitcoin?
I think this is exactly revolutionary on BTC that will make the whole society to function in a new way. BTC a chance to change life for better , including laws, without bloody revolutions..
to me it is a good point about bitcoin that no one know the owner of bitcoin. and so no one can claim that he is the owner of bitcoin. that is really important and plus point about bitcoin. and that is the reason that we can say that bitcoin has become a universal currency.
Only God Knows

Pascal developed a mechanical calculator... Who is the owner of all the calculators in the world? Your question is as good as the one I mentioned. See, now no one owns all the calculators in the world. Each calculator is owned by each person.
Bitcoin's example is similar to that. It has once been invented, and now no one owns it. You own only your bitcoin wallet like I own mine.

Bitcoin has no legal owner. The prosecutor and the defendant are the ones to appear before the judge.
The case will be reviewed without a "bitcoin owner."
Question about bitcoin ownership is only showing us that people are not used to decentralized model of economy. They think - if someone invented it then he/she owns it.
In old centralized model it is true, but bitcoin works totally different. Sometimes is really hard for me to convince people that there is no hidden agenda in bitcoin and coins are fully under people's control.

It would seem as though any and all that hold bitcoins are the owners, share owners, of bitcoins.
The internet started out in much the same way as bitcoins has.
The more people that use it the bigger it grows to...

Nobody is an owner of Bitcoin, nobody controls it and also it's not a corporation, company, etc. It's just an innovative monetary sistem in which anybody who earns bit coin is a part of the system and owner of Bitcoin.
You said "Nobody is an owner of bitcoin" at the start and at the end you said "who earns bitcoin is a part of the system and owner of Bitcoin". I don't get it and I'm confused. You might wanna rephrase this, mate.
Sorry for confusing you, mate
I mean that it's not a company, corporation etc. and there isn't any one and only person who owns Bitcoins as in other corporations. Bitcoins belongs to everybody who earns bit coin.all the people who have bitcoin is owner bitcoin. Satoshi is founder.
What are you trying to say? All the people who have bitcoin is called for me "Bitcoin User" why ? Because all who have bitcoin they always use it, spend it . Satoshi is the creator of bitcoin for me this thread is non sense. This is the Question that have sense, who is satoshi? What his age right now? How many bitcoin that he have right now? Thats the best thread about life of SatoshiLOL talking big about nonsense while saying nonsense stuffs. Oh well, to answer your questions.
Not to be rude or smth, all of your questions can be answered if you just make a quick search on google. But I'll put them here for you with reference.
Who is satoshi?
Satoshi Nakamoto is the founder/creator of bitcoin. The sole reason why are we discussing this thread right now. He made this forum so people can talk about the precious coin he made. People believe he's Japanese, some people believe Satoshi Nakamoto is just the name used by a group of people who made bitcoin.
What is his age right now?
According to Wikipedia, he's 37 years old. Link here just in case people ask for source.
How many bitcoin does he have right now?
Around 1.5M BTC were created in February 2009. It was discussed in this forum a long time ago. Thread here
