I was scouting through internet and i came across this very interesting post on if Satoshi deserve a Nobel prize.
Infact many forums had discussed it
Infact a professor Bhagwan Chowdhry at the University of California in the United States presented the proposal of Nobel prize for Satoshi stating that technology presented by Satoshi is the most significant development of the 21st Century and will have immense implications in the way finance will be conducted in the future
Yes, Satoshi deserves the Nobel prize award for combining his ideas, and all the research done by some Universities and in the cryptography community to create what we called Bitcoin and blockchain today.
Personally i believe that Satoshi do deserve nobel prize for his work.
The creation of Bitcoin is not all own his work. Read the
Satoshi session written by Theymos
I don't know, we even don't know who Satoshi in the first place so how can we award him the Nobel prize? Is he just a single individual or group of person who created Bitcoin?
I believe Satoshi is just an individual but he works with a lot of C++ and cryptography professionals anonymously.
I liked dealing with Satoshi when I did (which wasn't all that often), and I respected him a great deal. He had an incredible amount of "arrogance" in the sense that he saw seemingly-impossible challenges and believed (correctly) that he could conquer them, but yet he had zero arrogance in the commonly-understood sense. He was willing to give help to and accept help from people who knew and accomplished far less than him on the whole. He treated even me with respect, even though I was a 19-year-old excessively-individualistic idiot in 2010. I tend to remember Satoshi as a person who figured out what needed to be done, used all of his aptitude to get it done, and rarely got distracted by human failings like pride or fear. (Of course, this perception may well be more of a symbol in my head than an accurate image of a real person.)
