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.
Damn I wish we had something more interesting to talk about. I was getting kind of excited that someone might have finally ID'd him and just found out that he had died. Not that I wish he had died, but you know.
1. Bitcoin technology would remain unchanged and keep going in the way it has since Satoshi is likely not still involved in any kind of development.
2. Might go down slightly but I doubt there would be that much of a change. Might increase it since we know that Satoshi's coins are now effectively bricked and unavailable.
3. Community who is involved beyond just money would probably be relatively sad about the death of Satoshi but I don't think that it would have a massive impact, unless people want to get hung up on it.
