Hi,
I saw the last post of satoshi in 12.12.2010
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.29479

Strange date for last posting.
Is he gone from this forum, or he is acting with another name? Why is he hiding at all?
The date of the last posting of him is also strange 12 12 2010 ( triple 12)
This can be related somehow to BTC..Huh
Any suggestions of oldschool members who actually talked with him ?
Thanks!

Who really gives a shit why he is gone?

His absence or presence really affects no one.

Why satoshi is gone?
He is not "gone", he needed some space and time to be alone. Satoshi could be working on his next great project right now...
What could it be?

What if he is working on something new?  Something that would outshine Bitcoin??

I think he is not working on anything new, since he is allready rich, first few thousands of BTC mined are his, i'm sure. This can be checked somehow i guess, who was the first miner and how much did he mine so far ?
He has little ways of being able to cash out of his bitcoin holdings. So while he may have a lot of assets (bitcoin) he has no way of exchanging them for goods/services that he needs.

That's not exactly true. Right now there a lot of exchanges open that would easily be able to deal with 50-100BTC which would easily suffice for the short term day to day costs. We don't know all of his addresses and as long as he does not withdraw excessive amounts very rapidly it'll be hard to track him down. A couple hundred of BTC over the course of a year would make him quite comfortable without drawing too much suspicion provided that the trades were done in regular small amounts.

If even one coin moved it would be instantly noticed. His coins have never moved.
He did transfer some of his coins in the early days of bitcoin.

Since he has disappeared, AFAIK he has not moved any of his coins.

I hope he's still working on the project under a different pseudonym though.

It doesn't matter if it's him working on it really. Now that his idea got popular, we don't need anything else from him. Smiley

Well you would also hide, when a large list of people are looking for you, to try to discredit you, in an effort to stop you.

1. Banks
2. Governments with corrupt dictators
3. Land based Casinos and whoever back them.

......All those who, lost money, due to the technology, he/she/they created.

In some countries, people SUE other people, for the weirdest things, to get their hands on more money.

You cannot SUE someone, if you did not know who he/she/they are.

As a true crypto-anarchist he's not the one who everybody think he is

 I would like to say : Satoshi showed his team the miners ran with missing keys gone forever intentionally. But it is uncertain if these first coins could ever be touched.

he probably pool mined later on so he had early adopter status, hope he made it out alright

Unless its so very few, the amount of Bitcoin days lost would be very significant and someone would notice.

And even if he traded at an exchange, any exchange, unless he trades straight crypto to crypto it would be VERY hard to conceal his identity.
