The only problem is — NOBODY HAS BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY WHO THIS SATOSHI NAKAMOTO IS. Is he even real?
He is the cousin of Kaiser Souzae.
I don’t think he’s real. I’m convinced that Bitcoin, and other E-currency, is just a way to remove real money from people for vapour money.
It’s how all ponzi schemes work.
Satoshi Nakamoto may be one person, he/she may be a group of people. He/she may actually be a government agency like the CIA, or may be the Federal Reserve.
We increasingly live in a world where everything is fake.
When real money comes in, bit-coin gets issued. There is nothing backing bitcoin if the compter gets turned off, but somebody has made over a trilion dollars.
I don’t believe it’s real, although I do wish I had heard of it when it less than a penny a bitcoin. I would have bought in and sold out and retired.
You are free to believe it’s real, but I see all the hallmarks of a fraudulent scheme that was backed up by a few billion dollars, which has been returned by now into the pockets of those who fronted the money.
No. Turning a computer off does not make Bitcoin disappear. You’d have to turn off the entire internet. Everywhere.
Anything virtual has an off-switch somewhere.
I will believe that it is real, and not a CIA project, when Christ tells me that it was real and not a CIA project.
The world has given somebody about $26 billion to play with.
You don’t understand how bitcoin works. It is open-source software, so anyone can examine it and anyone can be involved in the dev process for updating it. If there were any backdoors or kill switches we’d all know about it (and the value of Bitcoin would be 0, not $1 trillion as it currently is).
That is what they tell you. Do you really think an intelligence agency is going to tell you they created it
I’d rather have Jesus than silver or gold.
If one is rich “in Christ” the lure of worldly wealth doesn’t mean much.
You’re wallowing in ignorance, but let me close out by pointing out that Bitcoin is a direct attack on fiat, government-controlled financial systems. An intelligence agency of a country with such a financial system would hardly implement a cryptocurrency that subverts itself.
I’m wallowing in suspicion, because anything too good to be true probably is.
By selling the independence of government fiat, it gets people to use it. By using it, it gets to be studied. I think that’s all it really is, a study on how e-coin can be used.
While it is possible that I’m wrong, this seems too convenient.
But I guess Satoshi got Hans Gruber's money when he fell off the building.
They unleash deranged fury upon all crypto technology that is not Bitcoin, and have even supported the SEC and other government orgs to attack non-Bitcoin assets and companies (e.g. supporter Gensler, supporting the SEC attack on Ripple).
Satoshi’s anonymity is a part of their religion, and the media is too stupid to see through the charade and actually follow the relatively easy trail to Satoshi’s identity.
When he becomes just a guy, with interests of his own, the Maxipads feel Bitcoin will lose its luster.
But at this point, with Bitcoin slowly dominating the world, I don’t see the point of keeping the theatrics.
Please share with us, using your specific advanced knowledge of C++ programming, how you write a “virtual on/off switch” into an open source C++ application, and how you can hide it from everyone in the world.
You know there are forks of Bitcoin, right? Separate installations of Bitcoin that have branched off into entirely different cryptocurrencies and mining networks. Do they have this “on/off switch” too?
Who told you that “anything virtual has an on/off switch”? Like, specifically, where did you learn that, or, who told you this?
