Who is Shakespeare?
No doubt.
Satoshi >> [Aristotle + Plato + Pythagoras + Newton + Heisenberg + Schrodinger + Einstein + Tesla]
Let's put it this way: who is the most famous other ANONYMOUS person (besides Satoshi) that you can name?
Some people[who?] think Shakespeare is a pseudonym.
Not sure if it will be Bitcoin or another kind of peer-to-peer digital gold - but great ideas live forever.
I doubt it. Few people know the names of the geniuses behind our current monetary system, which although not-functional in many ways, really enabled all modern innovation and thus- spectacularly important to the development of humankind. Yet they are by and large nameless.
Satoshi will be the same, in the bitcoin-success future- people won't know why a satoshi is called a satoshi, much like how most people never think of Watt (the person) when they look at the watts of a lightbulb.
Shakespeare however gets whole english classes and a significant portion of most school sylabus.
So my answer is No.

Isn't Satoshi a pseudonym?
Where's the immortality in that?

Bigger than Jesus.
Jesus has the whole world in his hands so by definition, no.
Zero instances of jesus mentioned ANYWHERE until 300AD. 100% myth.
I would add a bit of metaphysics. But who? David Lewis?!

Many Japanese still go nuts over George Washington. (recall reading or viewing that somewhere)
Huh?

I think going hundreds of years into the future more people will be remembered by someone but way fewer people from long ago will be know by nearly everyone. I guess this based on an expectation of better recording methods and growing diversity (there will be an ancient cryptographers of the early 21st century fan club).
