Who is Satoshi Nakamoto anyway?

If that’s even his real name. I just checked out the bitcoin wiki on him and it’s wild. No one really knows who he is. It’s been ages since he last showed up here. Why? "Busy"? Doesn’t seem right. He was all in when bitcoin needed some backup, but now that things have calmed down... Also, this guy knows a ton about different fields, especially economics. He doesn’t seem like your average dude. He could've easily cashed in on what he created, but he chose to stay silent. Is he just one person or part of a whole team? How does someone make something this revolutionary and then just vanish without wanting any recognition?

Fame have a cost ya know?

Here is the most recent picture we've got: Zorro: individual talent raising against collective force.

Ok. Who is the owner of this website? How things are going? Someone HAS to know him. Who purchased bitcoin.org?

The real question is:  who are YOU who asks such questions? If you work for police or governments, it would be pointless to attack Satoshi himself. His work has essentially been done and it is publicly available now.

WTF dude? I'm in here since this was like an uber-secret masonic club with a handful of members.

I saw that too.. bogus.

I was kidding.   Anyway, you were asking questions any newbie could ask, so...

So, possible scenarios: 1. Satoshi is a group of people. Subscenario 1: Founded by some powerful entity, to create an experiment or destroy banking system. Or make drug trafficking easier. 2. Satoshi is dead. He didn't really knew that bitcoin might have such success, he died before seeing it growing so much and that's all. Subcenario 1: Satoshi was killed because of Bitcoin. 3. Satoshi is affraid of Bitcoin and how it turned up. 4. Satoshi is a person that has no life other than programming (21.000.000% nerd) and he creates things under different identities. Maybe was behind Napster too. 5. Satoshi is ET or AI or GOD or S8TN

I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you :-)

Who is Satoshi? He was Edmond Dantés... and he was my father. And my mother... my brother... my friend. He was you... and me. He was all of us.

Probably used them --->>https://www.anonymousspeech.com/ to register the domain, no?

My mom, Mrs. Nakamoto, bought the domain name at GoDaddy.com. Things are going good.  Thanks for asking.

Satoshi is an anonymous but legendary individual who use his knowledge to inspire like-minded hackers and geeks to do something. He're more of an enabler than an action guy.

Satoshi definitely saw this as a strike against the malignant forces that national fiat currencies and the parasitic monetary/finance system has become. Enslaving us all in unpayable debts and endless taxation for wars and bankster bonuses ... it is now a criminal system that will go down in history and those at top aren't doing squat to change it, except personal enrichment. (Oh but we are chasing bad guys playing poker online, trading goldbits and smoking weed on their couches ... whatta a load of BS).

nobody's chasing me...  or weren't you talking about me, cause the description sure fits well

Who is John Galt?

+42 (the answer...)

You forgot the sub-sub scenarious, the braching scenarious, alternate scenarios, and possible mixed, merged, and parralel scenarios.  The Satoshi conspiracy theories never end and never get tired.  Someone always comes up with a new one.  One day there will be a tv series just focusing on satoshi conspiracy theories. Satoshi is everywhere and nowhere. Satoshi could be all of us, or none of us. Satoshi came from nowhere and dissappeared to nowhere, but his coins are everywhere. Satoshi has no past, no future, and no present, but his creation is immortal. Satoshi is an idea.  Satoshi has inspired all of us.  Satoshi is a legend.
