Maybe if the cryonics thing works out, but that's a long shot.


Thats a serious sci-fi plot right there. Man cryonically freezes himself after inventing a cryptocurrency, wakes up in the far future the richest man in the world.


Interesting to wonder if he simply memorized the keys before being frozen, hoping that he could remember them if he were ever resuscitated.


Guessing you haven't seen Futurama. Not the same exact plot of course, but I immediately thought of it.

Yes I've seen that episode. The crypto/most wealthy man in the world thing would be a variation of that.

They'd also be the typical Human Popsicle tropes about how horrified he'd be by how his creation was used.


Bitcoin is already pretty freaking sci-fi-plottish.


The whole Satoshi mythology is to me one of the greatest modern mysteries.
