Nobel Prize of Ecnomics has nothing to do with Nobel. The award of Nobel Peace Prize is very controversial many times.

Beyond Imagination
"Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences" is not a prize setup by Nobel, but Swedish central bank, so its political implication is very clear: To award those theories that benefit the banking business

Similarly banks won't win a Satoshi prize

Was confused at first as Angus Deayton is a comedian in my country: http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2015/oct/12/angus-deaton-v-angus-deayton-nobel-prize-win-sparks-twitter-joke-flurry

It would be cool if he was awarded it, though I think bitcoin would have to be heavily used around the world before he was nominated. Maybe if it breaks into the remittance market or makes a significant difference to the unbanked at some point he will be considered though can an anonymous person(s?) be nominated?

Yep, the comedian Angus Deayton should've won the Nobel prize in economics considering that he successfully serviced a prostitute sans paying her, an act worthy of a thesis.

I don't want to sound like a conspiracy guy but im pretty sure the Nobel Prize has an agenda behind it just like everything that has that "officialism" halo around it, so I wouldn't count into Satoshi being given such a recognition by mainstream media, or at least not anytime soon. Maybe in decades. Right now im sure no one of the judges even know what Bitcoin is or understand it.

There is no Nobel Prize in economics, just a prize founded by the Swedish central bank who successfully piggybanked on Nobel's name.

It is true but is true even the fact that is treated and awarded in the same way like the other Nobel prizes. From the Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_Memorial_Prize_in_Economic_Sciences

"The Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences (officially Swedish: Sveriges riksbanks pris i ekonomisk vetenskap till Alfred Nobels minne, or the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel), commonly referred to as the Nobel Prize in Economics, and as a "category of the Nobel Prize" by the Nobel Foundation itself, which owns the name Nobel Prize, is an award for outstanding contributions to the field of economics, and generally regarded as the most prestigious award for that field. It is not one of the prizes that Alfred Nobel established in his will in 1895, but instead was established 73 years later by a donation to the foundation from Sweden's central bank, the Sveriges Riksbank, on the bank's 300th anniversary. Winners are announced with the Nobel Prize winners, and receive the award at the same ceremony."

Satoshi doesn't need to win it. Nobel prize has completely lost its values and has become just an instrument of the rich to justify their doings and to mislead the masses. I mean Obama has won it, what else we need to say.

The HOPEium was big on that one. What an insult to real men and woman fighting for justice around the world.

Exactly! After he has won it, Nobel prize has definitely become a joke, complete joke! I got nothing more to say!

Who knows? Maybe one day this can be possible. Important to have the Nobel is who proposes the person who pretend the prize. And the age. Rarely is given to new peoples. Satoshi Nakamoto is (must or can be) yet young or middle-aged man. If bitcoin will become important in the future there can be to many Authorities which can take this initiative. And he will become important. Even is an hidden person. But yet there are people which has received the Nobel prize even after their death. So it will be not a surprise if it will be given at an person which is hidden. But there is yet to much time ahead for him in which he can have this prize. But I repeat: important is the destiny of bitcoin as a currency.

I think this is an interesting question. I think it's very likely that he will get the Nobel Prize in Economics one day. Although I'm sure it is against the current policies to give the price to anonymous people, I am confident they will make an exception in this case. In a generation's time, very likely almost everyone alive will have heard his name. And as many have pointed out, his contribution towards economics has been many orders of magnitudes greater than your average prize recipient.

It is even possible that he will get the Peace prize.

I think the idea of having blockchain means more than that. And if that doesn't fulfill the criteria of having something that could be solving all the world economic issues and imbalances, then I'm not sure what else would. He's over qualified and that's for sure. Perhaps the biggest obstacle here is the anonymity part.

Lol Economists.

Remember these two?  Myron Scholes and Robert Merto.  They won a Nobel price on 1994 based on some derivatives model idea they had then started a hedge fund based on that model.  They failed miserably and lost billions.

ofc, what do you expect? nobody remember that now... Nobel Prize is like a circus, only think that really matter is the ammount of $ that it generates...

I think most of us here would agree the creator of bitcoin should deserve one but doubt he would ever be considered.

if people are honest, bitcoin is by far the best innovative technology in the last years, but people have his own interest and vanity....
