Morgan Creek Exec. – CCN Markets
Whoever the real Satoshi Nakamoto is, one long-time Bitcoin enthusiast thinks he, she, or they should win the Nobel Peace Prize.
The recommendation came from Anthony “Pomp” Pompliano, a partner at Morgan Creek Digital Assets.
Satoshi should win the Nobel Peace Prize.
We finally have a currency that can assume global reserve status without anyone having to engage in violence.

Pompliano is not the first crypto bull to argue that the pseudonymous Bitcoin creator should receive the highly-acclaimed honor.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk even joked that Satoshi deserves a “Nobel prize in delayed gratification.”
“Worthless” prize not appropriate for Bitcoin (BTC) creator?
The Nobel Peace Prize recognizes individuals for effecting change on social issues. As Alfred Nobel explained in his will:
“The said interest shall be divided into five equal parts, which shall be apportioned as follows: /- – -/ one part to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.”
Pompliano argues that Satoshi fits the bill.
“We finally have a currency that can assume global reserve status without anyone having to engage in violence,” he wrote.
Criticism about who’s worthy to win the award – and who’s not – has increased over the years. It seems that’s spilled over to this debate about whether Bitcoin’s creator deserves the honor. And it’s not just fervent crypto skeptics who don’t believe Satoshi should win the prize.
Take this Twitter user, who argued that the Nobel Peace Price is “completely worthless” and further warned that it’s dangerous to give the award to an anonymous person.
Comments like this make me want to steer clear of all crypto…for good.

1. It’s not a person but an idea. 2. supposedly no1 knows who Satoshi is and could be Chinese Communist party for all we know. 3. it’s still a pump/dump manipulation machine to extract $ from people who can’t swallow the volatility (which works against it’s supposed use case)

What if Satoshi is Craig Wright?
Other critics have raised the “Craig Wright” issue when confronted with an argument to award the Nobel Prize to Satoshi.
Misir Mahmudov tweeted in March that Satoshi Nakamoto was worthy of receiving the Nobel Prize in Economics and Physics, too.
what if he turns out to be craig wright?

Mahmudov’s tweet led one person to point out Bitcoin‘s creator could be the always-controversial Craig Wright, who claims to have invented the flagship cryptocurrency and has sued critics for refusing to admit it.

Bitcoin Pic Of The Moment
The Peace Plus One – World Sustainability Project www.WorldSustainability.Org is interested in the opportunities afforded to young people in the new economy of Caring Currency. The currency of the 99%.
The concept of Caring Currency www.CaringCurrency.com is to move from the selfish GREED IS GOOD model of the 1% to a more equitable, distributed wealth model based on the GOOD we individually do for Society, the Environment and the Economy.
Bitcoin is one of the early contenders for alternative currency, and an excellent experiment in "alternative worlds" like the www.RepublicOfConscience.com , where we ask visitors and new citizens to essentially stay where we are physically, and simply change our perspective to see the beauty and opportunity in the world.
The Be, Buy Boost Bitcoin (BTC) program is a complimentary program in the physical world… to develop the acceptance, adoption, infrastructure and economic ecosystem.. An Alternative Currencies development program to increase the adoption of Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies in everyday transactions.
The PPO-WSP believes this is a critical effort that must be ramped up immediately to avoid alternative currencies just becoming a speculative bubble like tulilps.
