Bitcoin (BTC) enthusiasts on social media platforms have reiterated their annual petition for the Nobel Prize in Economics to be awarded to Satoshi Nakamoto.
On October 10, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced three recipients of the Economics Prize – former Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and US economists Douglas Diamond and Philip Dybvig – for their "banking research and financial crises". Many crypto enthusiasts have argued for years that Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, is the most deserving candidate for the economic prize, first instituted in 1968, "on the same principles as for Nobel Prizes awarded since 1901". according to a description of the institution.
