If you were Satoshi Nakamoto, what would you do?

[philipma1957]

Would you dare to appear in public?
Would you move 1M BTC and sell for USD?

I think it is better to stay as anonymous. Appearing in the public may bring bad impact to Bitcoin as it may be no longer decentralized.
Well, I won't sell all 1M BTC if I were Satoshi. This will ruin the price of Bitcoin in the market if selling all 1M BTC. But if selling small number of the Bitcoin, it is no problem.

Would you participate in the development and upgrade process of Bitcoin blockchain?
Would you agree to accept the invitation to El Salvador?

Sure, I am sure Satoshi is participating in the development of Bitcoin although he is somewhere.
What invitation? El Salvador makes it as a legal tender, it is okay as long as it brings positive impact in Bitcoin around the world.

If he is alive he would be very foolish to reveal him or her self to the public.

If I was Satoshi which I know that it can never be possible but if I were him, seeing the level of success at which my project have grown to, I will not do any but just remain in hiding and with joy filled in my heart for how successful the technology have grown. If Satoshi is still alive, where ever he is, I believe he is living a very satisfying lifestyle that he wants.

Sathoshi is likely still alive and enjoying the results of the technology he built. He smiled at Bitcoin lovers while drinking tea.  He is not someone who wants to be known, he enjoys life as an anonymous person.  It was very fun because we weren't being chased by journalists and the media.

If I was Satoshi Nakamoto, first, I will continue to stay anonymous, secondly, I won't dare send 1 million bitcoins to charity, and sell those for USD, for doing either of this two, or both, will vehemently crash the price of bitcoin, and send panic across the cryptocurrency market, which could lead to a greater dump, I will allow the bitcoins to continue to sit there in the wallet, as long as I continue to have much more than enough money than I will ever need to spend in my entire life, and even my children and my children's children.
And I might even pass on without revealing the secret phrase or private keys of the wallet holding those 1 million bitcoins to my children because their vision might not be the same as mine, and they might withdraw and sell the entire 1 million bitcoin, crashing and destroying the price of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies at large when I am no longer there.

Would you dare to appear in public?

Maybe not. I am a person who likes to stay in the shadows and watch the world unfold. I don't want any spotlight which could potentially make me a target as well as everyone around me.

Would you move 1M BTC and sell for USD?

Quite likely. But not at a time when it is not necessary. Also, the BTCs in Satoshi's wallet give confidence in people's minds. Any kind of small thing happening to that wallet may raise questions.

Would you participate in the development and upgrade process of Bitcoin blockchain?

maybe but not with the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. Maybe as someone else.

Would you agree to accept the invitation to El Salvador?

As I said, the identity reveal topic. I wouldn't want to go public. But El Salvador is a place where I will be able to freely use the very thing I have created. So it will be interesting to go there and see what it feels like. {If I was satoshi! }

Wouldl you continue to stay anonymous and observe the development of Bitcoin?

Yes, that would be the best thing for both me and Bitcoin.

Would you reveal this secret to your children before you die?

Well, this is a trick question. The outcome could be anything. And the future is unpredictable. I'll take that secret with me in the grave. If something goes wrong and the people in power decide to declare BTC to be illegal in any situation, that could have a negative impact on them in the future.

I think it's obvious that if I were Satoshi, I will just stay away from my creation. I will just be in the background though, just like the rest of us as a observer. He had done the right thing to be anonymous and not let everyone knows who is the real Satoshi, as it could be a group of individuals who created Bitcoin.

And his invention is resistant to anyone, still enjoy the support of the majority. The Devs are very good and they keep constantly communication with everyone involved, the miners, the bitcoin community and everyone in crypto. So Satoshi is right when he says that it is “It's in good hands with Gavin and everyone.”

Probably the best idea that he thought of following the creation of Bitcoin because we all know the consequences that would have followed if actually Satoshi nakamoto was known and identified to be someone. The government which have fought so badly with Bitcoin would have find a way to actually penalized or victimized him of something that would have led to the Downfall of Bitcoin ever since just like the way they did to CZ and binance.

If the government knows Satoshi, they must do the same way as CZ. The government will make Satoshi in a trouble because Satoshi makes a lot of people involved in crypto industry. Actually now all the governments are against Satoshi, but they may blame Satoshi because of the Bitcoin existence. The government may send him to the jail and confiscate Bitcoin ownership.

Maybe I won't answer other questions because I can only answer this one.
-I would keep my personal secret if I were Satoshi Nakamoto because it is for my safety in living in the real world.
-I also don't want to be directly involved in Bitcoin development, maybe I will also create an Anonymous account if I need to help develop Bitcoin.
-Yeps, I will continue to be Anonymous because it's more comfortable for me.
-No need, because my child could give a different statement about me one day if I am Satoshi Nakamoto, maybe it would be better for me to give 106K Bitcoins to my child and I remain anonymous to Satoshi Nakamoto.

Hope  that you are correct but  who gives you idea about satoshi is a HE/SHE?  i believe that this was never revealed from the beginning and not even known if it is a single person or a group/team?

but yeah wishing you are right so the creator/s is having tea with all the success we have and will still be having.

I have some questions for everyone: If you were Satoshi Nakamoto, what would you do?

• Would you dare to appear in public?
• Would you move 1M BTC and sell for USD?
• Would you participate in the development and upgrade process of Bitcoin blockchain?
• Would you agree to accept the invitation to El Salvador?
• Wouldl you continue to stay anonymous and observe the development of Bitcoin?
• Would you reveal this secret to your children before you die?

It's a difficult question, if I were Satoshi, I would sell Btc on OTC exchanges to large funds to get money while not affecting the market, it would be better to sell the private key to them, without moving any Btc and make others suspicious.

Then I will use that money for my own purposes: opening a scholarship fund, charity fund, blockchain development fund. 1 million Bit are worth tens of billions of dollars, we can do a lot of good and valuable things for society.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

        -   Like Satoshi did, I will not reveal myself either, because I know that Bitcoin will help in terms of financial problems all over the world, which are happening little by little now, to be honest. Then maybe 1 million bitcoins. I will also keep that for our security, of course.

And if the time comes when I'm about to die or disappear from the surface of the world, it's possible that I will also reveal the secret that I have to my son, who is completely trusted, to know if he can really be trusted.

[0t3p0t]

If I am Satoshi Nakamoto I won't dare to appear on public it is a suicide.
Depending on me and my family's financial status maybe I will move just a few Bitcoins to secure my financial capability as a normal person. I think 10BTC will do.
Well, I will of course participate in the development and upgrade process of Bitcoin blockchain but anonymously I mean not on what enthusiasts and governments see see like under the legendary name Satoshi Nakamoto but in another identity.
I don't think I can accept invitation from El Salvador but I am sure I'll be visiting that country without any trace.
Yes, I will continue to stay anonymous and observe the development of Bitcoin.
I don't think revealing will help them become famous or whatsoever but istead it makes them a target for some reason.
Charity is good but sometimes some of them are shady so I think helping those who are in need here in the Bitcointalk forum will make sense. I mean sending someone randomly with .5BTC is I think more than enough for them to have the chance to live a good life.

Peace of mind is the main key in every life besides having abundant wealth,
It's true what you said Shatosi would be proud of his creation, with Bitcoin everyone can create a private bank without interference from the government

Yeah, Satoshi Nakamoto is currently enjoying his life well and I'm sure he has a number of Bitcoins stored in several of his personal wallets and is still waiting until the price is very expensive, hiding his identity so that many people don't know is a smart move because when he doesn't do it This means that there will be many bad things that could possibly harm Satoshi Nakamoto.

If I were Satoshi Nakamoto, I would probably send the entire 1M BTC to charities around the world. I would not dare to appear and have my identity revealed for fear of endangering my life. Bitcoin has succeeded beyond all initial expectations 

Do you know how much damage that would do to the price of BTC? Satoshi is doing us all a great favor by staying in the shadows, and also sends us a clear message that he didn't invent Bitcoin to get rich off of it. In addition, if Satoshi tried to share his wealth, he would very likely be detected, because today you cannot hide online, no matter what methods you use.

I have some questions for everyone: If you were Satoshi Nakamoto, what would you do?
Would you dare to appear in public?
Would you move 1M BTC and sell for USD?

No, both would be a very bad move, not only for personal safety, but also for the future of BTC.

• Would you participate in the development and upgrade process of Bitcoin blockchain?

Who says that Satoshi still does not participate in the development of Bitcoin - it would be quite logical considering that his project has achieved global success.

• Would you agree to accept the invitation to El Salvador?

Of course not, that would mean that the identity must be revealed.

• Wouldl you continue to stay anonymous and observe the development of Bitcoin?

The option that certainly makes the most sense, and I hope that Satoshi (if he's alive) will stick with it.

• Would you reveal this secret to your children before you die?

No, children should not have such a burden in their lives, and some secrets should simply be taken to the grave.

If I were Satoshi Nakamato, I might not have survived this long in the world especially when my enemies will know about my bitcoins and will always try to kidnap me to take the formula I made bitcoins. Also, I have a million bitcoins in my wallet, if they fall into the hands of the enemy, they will not keep me alive in the world, so my life will always be in danger. Satoshi Nakamato is unknown until now that he will face many such problems.  However, the government of any country does not guarantee Satoshi Nakamato's security, so it is not known whether Satoshi Nakamato is alive or dead.
