Who is the Real Satoshi Nakamoto ?

Followup to Satoshi Nakamoto and the Origins of Bitcoin

The man who disrupted the financial system for good, simply disappeared.
But why then?

His moving away from the project in 2010 and then coming back in 2011 to state that he will no longer be involved means that Satoshi knew he can no longer be involved, either due to terminal disease or due to becoming extra wealthy or due to being imprisoned.

Becoming extra wealthy, does not prevent him from seeking the billions he has!

Satoshi’s bitcoin address contains about 1,000,000 bitcoins. In December 2017, when the price peaked, he had more than 19 billion dollars. For that short moment, Nakamoto was 44th richest person in the world! And to this day he hasn’t cashed a single bitcoin.

Being imprisoned does not prevent him from cashing out some of them, we all know that computers are available in prisons.
The only possible outcome is that he is dead!

Hal Finney is the probable person behind bitcoin.
Finney was diagnosed with ALS in 2009 and he fought the disease until his death in 2014.
He started the financial revolution but had to retreat when the disease progressed.

When you see his bio in 2011 he mentions his 2009 ALS diagnosis:

his 2007 bio, shows his interest and skills in cryptography and interest in politics and digital money:

There are many other clues that point to Hal Finney:

- He was involved in the early crypto community
- He was a computer scientist, libertarian and cypherpunker
- He created his own digital money in the 1990s called CRASH (CRypto cASH)
- He created first reusable proof of work system
- He was advocate of decentralization after the fall of DigiCash
- He posted the first affirmative message about Bitcoin on the forum, he was the first one on the bitcoin network, first one to mine bitcoin, and he received the first bitcoin transaction
- He lived in the same town as Dorian Prentice Satoshi Nakamoto, which name he used to conceal his own

Thank you for your suggestion on behalf of Hal Finney as Satoshi Nakamoto.
Thank you also for your wrong guess because with this I can only laugh and be confused.

* It's better if Satoshi Nakamoto is hidden and no need to be published *

Making findings on whom Nakamoto is, is not really a good idea to the health of crypto currency and the crypto system at large. Hal Finney as a guess of yours to be Satoshi Nakamoto could be true, but what will be the result of having a single person in control of the crypto ecosystem? To me, it will simply lead to a deadend of losses and insecurity.

If no one still knows about the personality of Satoshi, we can suppose that it was a group of guys under this name. Probably,  when the last BTC is mined we will learn about it.

Not !
Even Bitcoin when it runs out in the mine still won't be able to reveal who Satsohi Nakamoto is.
And I'm sure Satoshi Nakamoto is not alone, but many or have a group because it is impossible for one to create a Bitcoin that has a difficult level of complexity.

This is my Assumptions . Cheerss !

[ZionRTZ]

Craig is definitely going to be pissed off by this post.

There are some good connections to point that he is the real Satoshi but all these are still speculations.
In his last days, he could have simply told any of his trusted relative or friend about bitcoin and handed over the priv. keys. Why did he not do it?

[Davitsvan]

I don’t think that people will ever know who this person really is, I think that he has already died long ago. Or it’s not just one person at all, but a group of people who created it. There are legends that bitcoin was also created by the US special services.

[Bobcrypto]

This name satoshi Nakamoto is the inventor of bitcoin, and his identity remain unknown till date. Many guys has claimed or has been pointed out as Satoshi Nakamoto, unfortunately, all these claims has remain very doubtful.
Main while, i think that satoshi identity is not important as far as crypto ecosystem is considered because, in my opinion, the identity may probably affect the progress of crypto. A group of person or an individual that succeed this claims may result to a hevy influence on bitcoin or crypto at large.

[jonathancool220]

Hal Finney is the creator of Bitcoin?
Is Hal Finney the creator of the Sirin Lab Token?
Because the name Sirin Lab Token creates a Smartphone called Finney. LOL

I am sorry to say that the real Satoshi seems another one. I advise forgetting Hal Finney, I doubt if he is the real one. There are many people state that they are the real Satoshi as well. But I just think they want popularity only. Let's the real Satoshi to hide his identity, no need to look for about him. 

[zilzylian]

Only one can prove who Satoshi Nakamoto is.
He is the owner of a satoshi account in another forum,but he will remain silent and avoid people who are not happy with it because Bitcoin is very annoying to the banking system because crypto is not managed by anyone with P2P and blockchain systems that can be trusted to store all data transaction

[Vievevno]

Here we go again....
We don't know, we won't ever know. And even if we somehow eventually learn the truth, most of people wouldn't believe in that, because Satoshi is already an urban legend.
But making business on this is a different thing - especially if we look on Btitcon SV situation after Wright's "coming out"

[Senin]

Satoshi Nakamoto has his own rationale for his action to remain unabated, and that’s enough not to look for him. Perhaps in this way he is trying to maintain bitcoin decentralization or for some other reason. I think that it is necessary to stop his search altogether. For a decentralized cryptocurrency it will be much better.

[Pegasus]

I think that letting Satoshi Nakamoto's identity undisclosed will add some mystery to bitcoin. People maybe curious about Satoshi but their curiosity will bring him a lot of unwanted troubles and even put his life in danger. Forget all about those prediction and use bitcoin as its real purpose is the best way to memorize Satoshi Nakamoto.

[IyemRoker]

Forget all about those prediction and use bitcoin as its real purpose is the best way to memorize Satoshi Nakamoto.

It should also be like that because knowing Satoshi Nakamoto was definitely not necessary to know.
Let Satoshi Nakamoto rest and do not need to be disturbed, he also needs calm and peace in his life.
