Note: this is a theoretical thread to discuss what would happen to Bitcoin, its price, and fanatics if it was suddenly revealed who is Satoshi Nakamoto and that they are now deceased.
What would happen to:
1. Bitcoin technology;
2. The price of a Bitcoin;
3. How would the community feel.
Discuss.
We don't know who he/she/they were. How would we know if he/she/they die?
It's a theoretical question. I stated this. You do understand what theoretical means??
You do understand what 'BREAKING NEWS' means, don't you?
Op should have not used that term really. It connotes something real and urgent. But from the OP this is just a theoretical situation and is likened to satire already.
Anyway, if properly phrased and asked to me, I would say life goes on. Do you think the world collapsed when the inventor of paper money died? I don't think so.
