Who won? Angus Deaton

What did he do? Deaton's work has helped redefine how poverty is measured around the world.

Why is it important? Deaton's work has helped governments better understand individual consumption choices and how they impact broader economies. The Nobel committee says the award revolved around Deaton's study of three central questions: "How do consumers distribute their spending among different goods?" "How much of society's income is spent and how much is saved?" and "How do we best measure and analyze welfare and poverty?"

Satoshi Nakamoto is overqualified.

How could Satoshi Nakamoto win a Nobel prize?  His identity is not even clear.
