Maybe it is the first time that a winner will be given to a person who only uses a pseudonym and remains anonymous. But is the Nobel award still prestigious these days? Maybe the other categories like science? I think the Nobel is now influenced by politics. Sweden a neutral in the previous 2 world wards is joining NATO. Not saying it is a bad decision for them.

Anyways, I think the real Satoshi Nakamoto is already dead. Hopefully, I am wrong and the person is living a good life and will remain anonymous forever or at least for a hundred years.

I think it was Hal Finney as well, and unfortunately he passed away and unless he left any proof that he was Satoshi, we can't ever know about it and it's gone, he probably ordered his items to be destroyed properly and that means we will never learn who he was. On the other hand what kind of Nobel could he win?

There are two possibilities, either economics or peace one and I am not entirely sure they would give him the peace one, he didn't do anything to bring peace to anywhere, well to be fair Obama didn't neither, he ordered killings of so many people and yet they still gave it to him, but at the very least Satoshi doesn't get it. Economy in that case? But are we sure if this was a Nobel type of invention? Or was it more like a product type of invention? That's he question we need to figure out.

The guy is a genius. Pretty sure everything that may connect or provide hints were destroyed. There would be no evidence left behind as he understands well that bitcoin being decentralized will fare better when its founder remains unknown.

Nobel is missing something in their awards, technology. Peace is really impossible. It will fall into the economy category, although even at the current stage, bitcoin is not yet at the level wherein it influences certain nations' economies. If El Salvador somehow continues to buy at dips and then one day a single bitcoin reaches a million dollars in price, the bitcoin founder will qualify for the Nobel nominations. Anyways, posthumous is not possible for the Nobel.
