As Bitcoin celebrates its 16th anniversary, discussions have emerged about the possibility of its creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, receiving the Nobel Prize in Economics. Since the U.S. SEC approved Bitcoin spot ETFs in early 2024, Bitcoin has achieved new price milestones and gained broader acceptance from both mainstream finance and governments. Proponents argue that Satoshi's introduction of a decentralized monetary system and blockchain technology has significantly impacted global finance, meeting the Nobel criteria of originality and real-world application. However, challenges such as Satoshi's anonymity, lack of formal academic credentials, and Bitcoin's environmental and regulatory controversies pose obstacles to such recognition.
