    I suspect no-one deserves the Economics Nobel more than Satoshi. It tickles me enormously that she/he/they(/it?) remain anonymous.

        (a) I've no idea if it's a he; (b) Satoshi designed a new type of economic system, solving some difficult problems to do so, implemented the system, deployed it at scale, and kicked off a huge amount of thinking by economists.

        I think bitcoin was invented by a central bank to absorb the results of quantitative easing.

        I would give it to Nick Szabo before Satoshi.

        I suspect it's the Turing, not the Nobel. A solution to the BG problem and various race conditions. The economic implications are the layer above and just one of many applications.

        have you *seen* the crypto scene? Even though he created the tech, remaining anonymous is the smartest thing he's done.
