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?

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.

And "helped redefine how poverty is measured"??  Did he make an economic model on how the elite take from the poor?  Because that would be really interesting.

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.

Who won? Angus Deaton

What did he do? Deaton's work has helped redefine how poverty is measured around the world.

Why is it important? Deaton's work has helped governments better understand individual consumption choices and how they impact broader economies. The Nobel committee says the award revolved around Deaton's study of three central questions: "How do consumers distribute their spending among different goods?" "How much of society's income is spent and how much is saved?" and "How do we best measure and analyze welfare and poverty?"

Satoshi Nakamoto is overqualified.
