Is anyone curious what these "other things" were?
-
Well, we can only imagine and speculate what could "other things" meant by the famous Satoshi Nakamoto. Now, if I were to put my feet on the man's shoes, maybe these other things can include another business, my family and even travelling the world and just enjoy life. I am just wondering that up to now his stash of Bitcoin remains to be untouched...he could have use it to finance these "other things" he was referring to. What is so clear is that he did not benefit financially with something great that he started as there remains no evidence that he moved any of the wallets associated under him. Such a man wrapped in mystery can really be hard to fathom...and he would continue to be a beautiful enigma as long as Bitcoin lives.
-
I think he is into real business, and as someone who is set for life, you need to enjoy your time. He probably took a vacation and got bored, then set up a business or something. There are a lot of things that could happen, but we can only speculate.
-
... beautiful enigma...
Yes, it's a good expression “beautiful enigma” hehehe, I agree
Everything about Satoshi is so mystical that it's poetic
I keep trying to imagine if Satoshi was really just one person and still alive, what would he be doing today? Working on another important project? Being a developer?
Perhaps a big figure in a big company?
-
What a period in time 2011 would have been. Satoshi walked away from Bitcoin. There was a lot going on during time, the world was different. Having said that, I was unaware of the email and not only that cannot recall ever reading the name of the recipient before. You learn something new every day :D
-
Moving on to other things could be just one clue where he is heading.
People who become rich and powerful like they could live a few more lifetime without working would want to find the fountain of youth. Which is greater than the wealth they found.
What other things could Satoshi mean? He done great things already, if there is greater thing than Bitcoin, I suppose that's what he would be doing and it could be physical this time not digital. Or maybe spiritual?
-
We can’t really say what he meant by other things or it can just be an expression and not really meaning what he’s saying. He might still be a part and parcel of this whole bitcoin stuff but still doing it in hidden. I like his anonymity but I don’t believe that he’s no more but just sitting down and watching how everything is playing out. He may never reveal himself again but what he has invented is a great tool that will live on forever even after he’s no more. Such a great guy to pull this off and still has no trace of who or how he looks like, I respect him a lot and won’t want anything to destruct this seamless technology.
-

It could just be a little trick of his to make everyone curious as to what he might have moved on to - I personally don’t think he went to a different project or maybe he did and it wasn’t as influential as bitcoin and finally settled down with it since it doesn’t attract too much attention.
All we can do is to just keep guessing and that too might be one of the reasons he said it - you never can tell.
-
Satoshi created Bitcoin and I still believe that he/she/they whatever you call it is around the community and is observing each move of Bitcoin but without declaring his/her/their true identity. Satoshi created Bitcoin to promote decentralization and freedom but it became this century's biggest innovation and I don't think that someone who's such sane as Satoshi Nakamoto could stay away from it if he/she/they whatever you call it is still living is alive and kicking.
-
Even if he said that he moved on to other things, we don't know that he really moved or he actually stayed. But it is they way that Satoshi made Bitcoin to be decentralized. He doesn't want that Bitcoin is controlled by him because it will be very risky. He must be aware that the government may find him and the Bitcoin can be confiscated because it is considered illegal. Anyway, we must thanks to Satoshi that he trust Bitcoin future to the community.

Perhaps he just wanted to take a rest and give his projects to others as he also said that it will be in the good hands. So it might not mean that he will get into crypto or anything related to it.
And as a true visionary, he might have seen what his invention will be, a life changing for everyone and even to the world that he is willing to let it go and him going underground and not be seen again.
-
Maybe there were no other projects. Maybe Satoshi split from the rest of the group that were "Satoshi". It is pure speculation. If we all give our opinions, the thread would run in to many pages.
It is surprising how many years have elapsed from when Bitcoin was created. Many would agree that some mysteries deserve to remain unsolved.

That's the cool part hehehe, hearing what other BTC users think about Satoshi, and in this particular case, what those other projects might be
Maybe we'll never find out, and that's ok :D

Certainly, if the person or group is still alive, they must be closely following all the development and use of BTC
It would be hard to miss
I still have one goal, which is to read as many of Satoshi's emails and posts as possible in order to understand some things better
-
If he's still alive, I'm pretty sure he's living a simple life, either working in a company as a developer or running a business of his own, or who knows? He might have become a freelancer and work on projects for his clients. I guess we'll never know. The fact is that if he's alive, he can be anywhere, he might be living next to someone who is reading this thread right now but he will never know because Satoshi, as he said, has moved on and he is never going to reveal his identity only to gain public attention because he knows it can be a life threat for him.
Even though we can't be sure, but I believe he is probably using Bitcoin himself if he's around, maybe he has become a trader, or maybe he is buying and holding, we don't even know if he had some Bitcoin kept aside in an unknown wallet before disappearing and maybe he became a millionaire through that and isn't working or anything and is retired. So many thoughts and questions, and they are all going to stay unanswered forever.
-
I think he was into his own hobby, family and business or he just want to get out of the spotlight as we all know his work started to get traction and popularity as time goes by. That also left me wondering if Satoshi Nakamoto said that it means He/She was an individual person and not a group of people.

But I don't know if Satoshi is a group or an individual, but he really became Anonymous and no one ever knew what his next move would be.
His hobbies, family and business may be the most important RL after he does a perfect job in Bitcoin.
Enjoying his life and living as usual despite what he built has been in the spotlight of the world until now.

It make sense that he is a person and not a group when he said he is moving to some other thing.
You wouldn't say if if you are part of an organization. Since we have no idea what he is up to besides Bitcoin then there is no other clue about what other reason he disappear besides wanting his life to be private. Its not like he did something terrible like DB Cooper but still people wanna find out who he is.
-
Is anyone curious what these "other things" were?
Some people speculated he was later involved with altcoin Monero, because Satoshi wanted to have more privacy on chain, but it could be something totally different and unrelated to cryptocurrency.
We can only speculate now what happened and I think it is better for everyone to keep this ''things'' unknown.
-

Yes, whether if there's a person or a group behind that Satoshi Nakamoto name, then that person or group is for most sure following all development updates of Bitcoin and that person or the group might feel blessed for the creation.
-
This is actually my first time of reading about when Satoshi sent an email to Bitcoiners, informing them that he's " moved on to other things". In some religious settings, Satoshi would've been likened to be a "prophet" through which the Supernatural Ruler of the universe brought everlasting solution to most of the financial problems of the world especially the issue of decentralization.
His selflessness in introducing a digital financial asset like Bitcoin and still went on to make it decentralized is one of the best sacrifices anyone had done to humanity. Wether he moved on to engage in other crypto related engagements is something we don't know but for what we already know about him, we'll continue to sing praises for all he did to mankind.

I love this idea! Satoshi dedicated a lot of time and energy to create a revolutionary financial tool, BTC, but he also has his own private life. In fact, protecting his identity is also protecting the future value of BTC.
Another possibility is that Satoshi is still working hard to help BTC gain stronger acceptance. It's very possible that he is someone in Trump's cabinet whose name we've all heard but don't know is Satoshi. Anyway, I hope Satoshi is still following the development and success of BTC as well as the entire crypto market.
-
No one can exactly guess the exact plan of this master minds person, like what kinda plans he is referring to "other things" with. Firstly, Stoshi has no identity in this world, not even in all the government's database systems around the world. We all know him for his innovation of Bitcoin.
Just from this, we can have an idea that he might have other good things to present to the world. Maybe these other things have already been presented to the world, but now no one knows this is Stoshi's idea/presentation. What do you guys think?

How are we supposed to know what this other things Satoshi claimed to have moved on to were or are when he did not say? At least, I believe no body in the bitcoin community is a magician, so except he had said it, there is no way we can know.
I think Satoshi has to be given the prestigious award of the most secretive person in the entire whole world, I've learnt from this man or group of persons that not every thing a person does should he stick around and take glory for it, sometimes, it pays more to simply create something very good that many would benefit from and then simply take away from the limelight, and allow people to enjoy your creation without knowing who to return glory or thanks to but just the name you left behind.
So whatever Satoshi moved on to, I really hope he is alive, healthy and living his best life with this family and friends.

Is anyone curious what these "other things" were?
no not really because even if i am curious i will never actually get any answer to that question so why should i torture myself and keep thinking about it i am just glad that bitcoin grew to be what it is now before satoshi decided to go and move on to other things as he said
it could be anything: maybe his family, other works, other hobbies whatever it is it does not seem to be related to bitcoin at all anymore
-
- It seems to me that he has already entrusted those who believe in bitcoin with its future price, the kind that he knows very well that bitcoin will have high popularity and that he knows that many whale investors and communities will believe in it.
And he did not make a mistake in trusting those who trusted and believed in the capabilities and potential of bitcoin in terms of financials. This is just what I think, because it seems very general when he said that.
-

I don't think it means other business or anything that focus on money, he doesn't have to because still now his funds are not moved and worth billions already.
Probably talking about family? Never knows
Or he had other things too where people really needed choices like politics?

It is disappointing however that Mike Hearn fell out of Bitcoin and got tired of it. Many people during the fork wards became disillusioned with the direction it was heading, wanting to actually push Bitcoin to the masses (vs. corporate entities we have today), forked the coin many times, attempted to push mass adoption, and failed. That's why we don't have as many users we should have.
It's a shame that BitcoinJ never caught on though.

Is anyone curious what these "other things" were?
What if the reason for his disappearance wasn't "some other things" but just pressure from some of his associates who began to "rebell" in the sense that Satoshi was making too many decisions independently?
Many of those who remain silent about it today were highly critical of Satoshi at the time, and in some ways they weren't at all sorry that he went into the shadows. Any normal person in his place would leave, especially if he had done 99% of the work he was supposed to do.
It might be wise to read the chronology of events with relevant links to get a much more accurate picture of what was happening in those days.
I recommend -> The Last Days of Satoshi: What Happened When Bitcoin’s Creator Disappeared (https://bitcoinmagazine.com/technical/what-happened-when-bitcoin-creator-satoshi-nakamoto-disappeared)
-
Well, if that is your goal I wish you success. The other forum is where all of the posts are, I presume you have read the posts. As far the emails are concerned, Satoshi probably did not release any therefore if someone publishes an email claiming it was from Satoshi we night not accept it.
I still have one goal, which is to read as many of Satoshi's emails and posts as possible in order to understand some things better

Who sathosi is is indeed not known for sure, even until now there is no data about who he is? But what he did with the technology he created made bitcoin, honestly I feel helped because I can get additional income by investing in bitcoin. This really helps my life.
-
So fast 14 years until now is our memory of Satoshi even though at that time we did not understand anything about bitcoin.
Satoshi switched to something else, this is a puzzle that is difficult to solve, no one knows after that what he did, then during his life he did what business we were curious about. :D

I have a slightly different take: Satoshi disappearance is part of the plan to create real value for BTC. We saw Satoshi working incredibly hard, even on holidays as if facing a deadline, which implies that his departure from the BTC community might have been planned in advance.
Once BTC was successfully built and deployed, with the support of the developer community, Satoshi could confidently leave the responsibility of maintaining and developing it to the community, because BTC is a financial tool geared towards the community. BTC doesn't need a spiritual leader like how Apple depended on Steve Jobs or Tesla depends on Elon Musk. BTC needs independence, and Satoshi disappearance is necessary.
Furthermore, leaving the BTC community at the right time also helps Satoshi protect his identity better. He was very skillful in declining donations from the community and successfully protected his identity while actively developing the BTC protocol. In the context of increasingly advanced technology, that could have been more difficult to achieve, and leaving early was also necessary.
-
Hmm, anyone with wild expectations here!
Well, I'm not thinking the same as he might be talking about the personal things, maybe some other things, maybe some other projects not related to this industry, with, for sure, with the tech.
Anything is possible, we need a what-if series on it.
-

Since we have no idea what he is up to besides Bitcoin then there is no other clue about what other reason he disappear besides wanting his life to be private.

But until now he really didn't want to be known and anyone who tried to uncover who Satoshi was never succeeded and found a dead end.
It's about privacy and how satoshi provides a legacy that will never be eaten away by the times.
Whether satoshi will move on to something else or not or he still stays in Bitcoin, it's his way of life, whether it's a group or an individual it's a secret that will never be revealed, it stays a secret and that's better.

Well said, mate. Stoshi has discovered that gold for the whole world, being anonymous; nobody had any idea in the past his innovation would become the world most biggest digital asset, and now we can see almost all well-known and recognised companies are involved in it. Other than that, we are all enjoying its pumps, and these pumps feel like a payment, just like you said.
Well, mate, what are your current sentiments related to the BTC market's current situation? We may see a new all-time high soon (DYOR), what do you think?
-
I think it is safe to assume Satoshi had no idea just how big crypto would become and how it would affect the world. By creating a story around the success of Bitcoin with the disappearance of Satoshi paints a false narrative. I doubt the two are connected or whether Satoshi wanted it to appear that way.
-
There are lots of guesses about whom Satoshi is and what he is up to by now, since we don't have any accurate clue about his identity, personality and mission he is onto next after bitcoin, we all cant predict much about Satoshi and since this is all we could say for now, lets await on what may comes in after bitcoin in such a big way and that is if there's any, but before then, all the fingers crossed.

As an anonymous figure whose identity is unknown, he has made progress with his bitcoin. And until now we don't know who he is? and it is possible that developed countries have tracked sathosi but have not been able to reveal the figure of sathosi. Actually we don't need to be curious about this figure, just focus on how to get profit from what he has created, bitcoin
