What if Satoshi was an Alien?

Imagine this for a moment, what if you were a visitor from another galaxy far, far away, or at least came from someplace other than Earth. You see humanity struggling under the heels of an oppressive system, practically enslaved by those who run and control everything with the help of the fiat monetary system.

Having transcended all of that, you feel for the people of Earth and want to help but without causing undue chaos because you're not from around these parts and first contact probably wouldn't go over too well.

So what could you do, that's powerful and able to change everything - without revealing yourself or your origin in the process?

Drop a little piece of alien technology on the planet, nurture it long enough into becoming viable and then leave, without telling anyone anything about yourself.

This is just one of the possibilities of what happened, and the one I will explore in my article. Enter the colorful history of Bitcoin and Satoshi. To all of us, we know that Satoshi invented Bitcoin, explained a lot about how it's to function and why, grew the initial community, and then left never to be seen or heard from again leaving his or her billions of dollars worth of Bitcoin untouched.

I'm actually of the belief that this alien - trying - to - help - anonymously scenario isn't so far fetched, it's entirely possible and in this article I'll give a few reasons why I believe this could indeed be so....

*Please note, that I believe that Bitcoin Cash is the continuation of the original intent of Satoshi as described in every communication left behind so I will be focusing a lot on Bitcoin Cash.

1) Bitcoin Cash is revolutionary, a peer to peer decentralized payment system.

Mind you, I didn't say as just a store of value, or as merely an object of market speculation, I said the peer to peer payment aspect of the technology is revolutionary. It's the one thing that can actually free humanity. Market speculation and using it as a store of value can grow wealth and increase interest in it among people, both of which can help to free us but ultimately it's the peer to peer payment aspect that will free us. Everything else is just gravy to help speed things along :).

2) Bitcoin (Cash) uses a powerful network effect to boost over time.

It's one of those fancy positive loop systems where once even a small community is dedicated to seeing it succeed it'll keep growing and expanding until it thrives. It's why Satoshi could leave and Bitcoin is still around and going strong. That's because opting out of the Fiat System and going over to BCH has a net positive effect on everyone; you're both opting out of something corrupted and building something new and better. The fiat system loses a tiny bit of it's power over humanity with every dollar you put into Bitcoin Cash and Smart BCH tokens while our community gains the power to become more decentralized and free.

What's more is that you're likely to grow more wealthy over time while those who remain in the fiat system grow less wealthy over the same time. Bitcoin Cash (and many SmartBCH tokens) will gain value over time while fiat automatically loses value every year. As more people become empowered others will see the success and want to join where they're more likely to succeed and thrive.

I am convinced Satoshi knew this and counted on humanity to gravitate to the better system.

3) Those Decimals are otherworldly, the Supply is limited and Halvenings, oh My!

Those Decimals.... when you look at Bitcoin Cash, you see something that trips up every newbie as it's so... exotic, unusual and...well, almost alien.

1.00000000 BCH

There was nothing saying it had to be like this, after all most currency is very different having only two or three decimals at most.

Having a limited supply is also very different from fiat systems, it's actually directly opposite of them. With only 21 Million coins and a strictly controlled system of emissions for the miners it's got scarcity and timed growth of value programmed into it.

As the community of users grow the emissions become more scarce!

I can just about bet that Satoshi even knew that it would not only be scarce but even be deflationary too, due to lost coins. After all some of those lost coins are Satoshi's and they haven't moved in over a decade along with hundreds of thousands of others.

4) Bitcoin Cash spurs technological innovation:

Proof of work requires massive amounts of energy, blockchain technology require our computing systems to become upgraded quickly to handle it and decentralizations which requires us to think of relying on each other, not centralized systems.

All three of those boost parts of our infrastructure and society that we're actually going to need if we ever hope to go past our atmosphere and wander the galaxy. Scaling up BCH and innovating blockchain solutions means we have to boost our technology in these other areas too. And we have to do this decentralized, which is another aspect vital for going beyond our own atmosphere. Out there, centralized systems will quickly fail due to distance and communication's lag.

5) BCH puts pressure of dealing with a rapidly evolving society onto the Elites and the Governments:

Bitcoin Cash makes the government embrace powerful change and deal with it head on. And since each government will make different choices they can't defeat it, only decide to either secure their place in the new economy or squander away their chances of remaining relevant.

As the Governments don't have a lot of incentive of embracing Bitcoin Cash, individual users and small communities will make the plunge first. This will lead to a change and great transfer of wealth; the poor will become rich and the rich will become poor.

Bitcoin Cash thereby puts the pressure on governments to change with the times, and quickly deal with decentralized services and blockchain economies as well as people leaving the fiat system in droves to go do their finances on the blockchain and organize themselves in a decentralized manner.

Even by setting up centralized coins and blockchain systems a government cannot stop the progress, all that'll do is onboard more people to the real sound money used by the people. They'll learn about Central Bank coins and then promptly go to BCH the moment they understand it all well enough. It's why everyone gravitated to the internet and social media.

6) Satoshi left without a trace:

Very few humans could walk away without seeking fame nor enjoying their fortune; imagine the willpower needed to never say anything to anyone about that you invented Bitcoin nor make a beeline to those wallets to use the coins in them to make your life better.

Unless Satoshi is a monk, human nature would have him or her reveal themselves.

Oh yeah, and even more telling is the fact that the governments can't find Satoshi either. The elites and the governments (or other unsavory types) would want to find Satoshi, and yet no one can.

That should be our number one clue that Satoshi may not be from around these parts!

7) There's no real way to destroy Bitcoin Cash

It might be able to be done only if you take out all electricity and the entire internet as if one node survives then it can recover.....

This makes Bitcoin Cash virtually indestructible when one gets down to it. The decentralized global nature makes it extremely difficult to prohibit use of it, and impossible to do more than slow down the spread a bit.

Governments can't agree on anything, so we're safe on that end. We're global and decentralized, they're not.

The SmartBCH bridge debacle also proved that point too, we can innovate our way out of anything if we're determined to have BCH thrive.

As such I know that BCH will still get adopted globally, no matter what anyone does.

8) Satoshi knew fiat markets would fail and ultimately centralization would fail.

Due to the notation in the Genesis block referring to bank bailouts from the 2008 crash it was clear that Satoshi knew the Fiat system wouldn't survive past a few more decades.

This means that besides being a smart talented programmer, Satoshi was also very well versed in economics and even a little psychic as far as the future was concerned. And of course everything came to pass to show even us stubborn ones that we need sound money again, not an endlessly printed into oblivion fiat currency that's not backed by anything.

Thankfully Satoshi gave us one thing that could help us out of the future mess that run away inflation will get us into.

Bitcoin Cash

With only 21 Million coins, and some of them lost, others not yet mined and many HODL'd strong it's value continuously will go up as the dollar and other fiat currencies will lose their value.

While this doesn't give all of the reasons why I believe Satoshi may have been from another world, it clearly is enough to make any of us think about the possibility.

What do you think?

This is sure an interesting concept to consider. The fact that even the governments are not able to find him/her says a lot indeed. They sure did their best to find the person responsible for their loss of control over masses.

The identity of Satoshi might be unknown but we see prints of his work in today's economy and with Bitcoincash following the whitepaper and remaining true to the purpose of cryptocurrency i believe Satoshi lives on through everyone.
