Satoshi Nakamoto missed out on the Nobel Prize in Economics, anonymity is the biggest obstacle

Not long ago, UCLA finance professor Bhagwan Chowdhry nominated Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto as the winner of the 2016 Nobel Prize in Economics, which caused a stir. Many questions followed, so would the Nobel Prize Committee give the prize to a person who may not exist?

The answer appears to be no.

"As it stands, the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel has never been awarded to an anonymous or deceased person."

This is the response given by Hans Reuterskiöld, press officer of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, to reporters' question about whether Satoshi Nakamoto could be nominated for the Nobel Prize in Economics.

Since Satoshi Nakamoto released the white paper "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System", many people have tried to trace the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, and some people believe that there is actually a group of people behind this name.

In 2014, Newsweek claimed to have found Satoshi Nakamoto himself in California. However, this 64-year-old man named Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto actually had nothing to do with Bitcoin.

Therefore, unless Satoshi Nakamoto himself is willing to take off the mask and stand in front of the stage, the Nobel Prize in Economics will not be awarded to this Bitcoin architect.
