The real enemy of bitcoin

[Baofeng]

I see those who are desperate to know who Satoshi is and to reveal his identity as the real enemy of bitcoin.

I'm not sure if we can call them real enemy though, maybe they just want to exposed who Satoshi is just like in the documentary. But I do not see it as a huge impact on the market negatively. We have been in this kind of situation since the height in 2017 bull run's and so far no one has proven anything. To the point that a Faketoshi comes forward but obviously we know that this guy is full of lies.

Real bitcoiners don't have that time to go for a search to know who Satoshi is. Bitcoiner are much interested to invest bitcoin and they understand what privacy is all about. What will be the gain if you reveal who Satoshi is? It means you want the privacy of bitcoin to be reveal too.

We already have come to the conclusion that Satoshi is not going to resurface and we really don't know what happen to him. So for us Bitcoiners, we have accepted that fact, and as you can see, his invention continue to flourish every 4 year as it is the cycle. Maybe in the next 4 years, we will another claim by someone or some media outlet as who is Satoshi. But the fact remains that we really don't care.

The privacy of Bitcoin has been revealed since beginning, anyone can track any address, the transaction history and how much the address own in Bitcoin explorer since the blockchain is completely transparent.

Revealing Satoshi identity won't reveal your privacy, but if you use centralized exchange to buy or sell Bitcoin, then you're the one who reveal your own identity.

I don't think that they are the enemy because for sure some of them are just out of curiosity if you just think about it, what Satoshi Nakamoto created is unbelievable and it's a life-changing invention of all time, so some people just want to know who really Satoshi is.

The benefits of knowing Satoshi Nakamoto are none for me, Bitcoin will stay the same and whether Satoshi Nakamoto will found or not.

Privacy is something that no one wants to know and is more secretive because people want to maintain certain security values, but whether or not Satoshi Nakamoto's identity is revealed has nothing to do with privacy in general. I think you are a little wrong in understanding privacy and bitcoin is not in the capacity of creating enemies but some people don't like it for some reason. Sometimes many people who invest in bitcoin also do not understand privacy issues, where they still use exchanges that require KYC and even more stupidly they store assets there.

If that is the case for certain people then what kind of privacy is meant and haven't we already shared personal identities with their securities. Awareness in maintaining privacy in the midst of increasingly developing technological conditions is very difficult, especially if someone does not understand the technology that has now been integrated.

I don't think Bitcoin has an enemy, and I don't think creating imaginary enemies helps anyone.
Trying to find Satoshi is what a lot of people have been doing for years because people are naturally curious about who created this technology. I don't think it will be proven who Satoshi is. Even if it was known, it wouldn't change anything.

Sir, At first I was very curious about this matter, who is this Satoshi? Am also doing a lot of research first to understand this system. Later when I realized that the issue is actually something like that I've done a lot of research on it before but no solution came or no one could find it. And I don't think it is possible to find him now no matter how hard we try.

Two example can be imagined:
1: If Satoshi can be found then the content of the old origin will be known. It needs to be understood from how it happened. Answers to the important issues that keep rotating in our minds in the form of questions. Such good points must be known.

2: If Satoshi can be proved I think he will do more harm than good with these matters. People are more concerned about where the money is coming from than where it is going. This will definitely hinder the overall growth of BTC. There will be no general regulation of BTC and the wheels of the economy will come crashing down. From personal opinion it seems that this Satoshi cannot be proved.

Identify Satoshi in order to reveal his identity as an enemy of bitcoin? How can the BTC-creator be an enemy of bitcoin? This sounds extremely contradictory.

Real bitcoiners don't have that time to go for a search to know who Satoshi is.

And what do real bitcoiners do all their time? By following the price charts of bitcoin?

Bitcoiner are much interested to invest bitcoin and they understand what privacy is all about.

Each of your sentences is radically different in meaning from the previous one, because you jump from one topic to another and your post as a whole looks like an incoherent stream of thoughts.

What will be the gain if you reveal who Satoshi is?

I assume that it is not related to profit and the reason is curiosity (of the majority). Any riddle or mystery encourages to search for an answer.

It means you want the privacy of bitcoin to be reveal too.

Bitcoin's privacy is in no way connected with Satoshi's privacy.

I believe that this latest trend to unravel the real Satoshi Nakamoto, is because of the HBO documentary and the Craig Wright's, claims. The trend to unravel the mystery behind satoshi's real identity will come and go and we'll still be here, so I wouldn't worry myself about it. Bitcoin is decentralized and the real Satoshi, can't do anything about it now, even if he were to somehow show his face which I very much doubt. The impact would be for a short term because the network has been designed not to depend on his influence to function. You can't remove curiosity from human beings, people naturally will continue to want to know the identity of Satoshi.

...

It's human nature to pursue the unknown. There will always be someone searching for him, just like people who dedicate their whole lives to finding Bigfoot or the Loch Ness monster.

I doubt revealing his identity would have any impact on Bitcoin today, even if he worked for the CIA.

I feel like if we knew who satoshi was it would do more harm than good and at this point it’s probably for the best that the group or individuals remain anonymous.

Yes, that's right. I feel the same way, we shouldn't be busy thinking about who Satoshi is. Indeed, if we discuss the figure of Satoshi Nakamoto, it must be exciting, because for a decade the figure of the founder of bitcoin has not been revealed, but what I like is his work for all humans so that they are not bound by centralization.

BTC was created because one day people will no longer believe in Fiat/physical money. Because it is prone to corruption, etc. With BTC, all transactions will be clearly visible because they are in digital form. Wherever the money goes, we will definitely know what its purpose is and what it is used for, and with Bitcoin we can create financial freedom in the future, that's the most important thing.

How can you have financial freedom when everyone, especially a corrupt government, can see what you're doing with your Bitcoin?

(Rhetorical question, the answer is: You can't.)


You can't buy this, You can't sell this, You can't support this, You own us this, You must give 50% to your ex-wife, list goes on and on....

I don't want to disappoint you but I bet bitcoin will have no impact on fiat, and it will never go away unless governments decide to eliminate it and replace it with a better version of fiat. We will even continue to rely on fiat even if bitcoin becomes popular globally, as long as fiat remains the main currency, the measure of value of the world, we will never get rid of fiat. Also, Satoshi did not create bitcoin to replace fiat or encourage people to abandon fiat, it is just an alternative that exists alongside fiat and the banking system.

How will Bitcoin give us financial freedom? It can only help us reduce our dependence on the government, help us protect our privacy to some extent.


In terms of investing, becoming rich and financially free by investing in bitcoin is not as easy as we think. You cannot become rich by just investing a few dollars and thinking that it will give you millions of percent returns, that is not true anymore these days.

I dont think so even the real Satoshi Nakamoto reveals himself because at the end of the day, its all about the transaction made the bitcoin is decentralized so if satoshi nakamoto shows up and people just create a small fear or hype its just a temporary thing for sure the people who know the hype will grab the opportunity to trade and sooner or later they will bring back the market price and makes a correction. Now if you get weak hands and get carried away its on your part.

Unless he still has access to the early mined coins and decide to trade it all  
It's estimated he has mined about 1 million Bitcoins due to pattern in the ~22,000 blocks

Read slowly I think you would understand what the OP meant.
They called individuals curious about Satoshi identity as enemies of Bitcoin.

How can you have financial freedom when everyone, especially a corrupt government, can see what you're doing with your Bitcoin?

(Rhetorical question, the answer is: You can't.)

Freedom doesn't mean you can't be seen
It means you have control over your funds
They can see it but am the one who 'owns' it.

I don't think Bitcoin has an enemy, and I don't think creating imaginary enemies helps anyone.

I would have supported your claim If Bitcoin was centralized with Satoshi as the central head
But fortunately it's decentralized
You can't kill a dullahan by cutting it's head.

So what if you own it, if you can't do what you want with it because the government says it's illegal? They can put an 'illegal' sticker on anything they want, including transacting with Bitcoin.

If they link it to you and you were doing something 'illegal,' you end up in jail. That's far from freedom.

Freedom = Privacy and Bitcoin with it's transparent ledger is far from being private.

Bitcoin's privacy will not change even if the creator of Bitcoin is revealed. Revealing who Satoshi is for those who want to reveal it will continue to try and for us it is not a task that should be done. If Satoshi's identity is revealed, we will express our endless gratitude to him for giving birth to a very extraordinary work for the financial system.

I think the revelation of Satoshi has nothing to do with the privacy contained in Bitcoin.
There are many uses for Bitcoin, not just investment and the meaning of a Bitcoiner does not stop there but more.

[Reatim]

Satoshi identity been revealed has nothing to do with Bitcoin privacy
Remember Bitcoin is decentralized so there's no head.

That is true but since it is well known that it is indeed Satoshi that created Bitcoin, authorities may try and target Satoshi specifically to somehow ruin Bitcoin or some sort. Though if he were to reveal himself, it doesn’t mean that bitcoin will automatically be centralized. It will just seem that way because now there is someone or a figure to actually attack instead of bitcoin which is distributed everywhere.

The reveal might only cause a temporary dip because people would feel he could dump his holdings.

It could also go the other way. Maybe the general public will think that the reveal of Satoshi’s identity makes Bitcoin more reliable hence will be interested in buying bitcoin this time. But anyway it is all hypothetical since Satoshi will not reveal his identity any time soon or maybe ever.

[goldkingcoiner]

The only enemy of Bitcoin exists in the minds of the indoctrinated fiat holders. They have never known true freedom so they keep desperately hanging on to their increasingly worthless paper strips they call money.

That is really the only enemy worth defeating.

Financial freedom is about how much money you have and of course the way you manage it.

There's no way the government can't know how much your wealth when you're already a multi millionaire.

Even you can find the loophole from tax regulation, you're still need to pay tax, even though not as much as before.

This is why you shouldn't use your name when you bought an asset, instead use your mother, father, or your son's name, so whenever your wife divorce you, you won't need to give 50% of your wealth.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Bitcoiners wants to learn everything about Bitcoin but setting a goal to reveal the real identity of Bitcoin developer is not what I want and I don't feel bother any day seeing that the identity of Satoshi is not known, I am enjoying the Bitcoin that was invented by him and even in his absence, the technology is still doing great. The only people that are more bent to knowing who Satoshi really is and also bringing him to light if he is still alive, is the government but not some random investors.
