Assuming Satoshi Nakamoto is a single individual, how does he compare to other brilliant minds in the fields of economics and computer science?

Computer Science

How does Satoshi Nakamoto compare to the likes of:

  • Charles Babbage
  • Ada Lovelace
  • George Boole
  • Herman Hollerith
  • Alan Turing
  • Cuthbert Hurd
  • Grace Hopper
  • John Backus
  • J. C. R. Licklider
  • Wesley A. Clark
  • Per Brinch Hansen
  • Edgar F. Codd
  • Alan Kay
  • Ken Thompson
  • Dennis Ritchie
  • Vint Cerf
  • Bob Kahn
  • Steve Wozniak
  • Tim Berners-Lee
  • Linus Torvalds
  • Guido Van Rassum
  • Brendan Eich
  • Larry Page
  • Sergey Brin
  • Other great computer scientist​s not named here

Economics

I believe the blockchain is an economic concept and Satoshi Nakamoto an economist from another discipline (computer science) like Mathematician John Forbes Nash Jr.

So how does Satoshi Nakamoto compare to likes of:

  • Adam Smith
  • Frédéric Bastiat
  • Ludwig von Mises
  • Friedrich Hayek
  • Milton Friedman
  • Muhammad Yunus
  • Other great economists not named here

I will not insult Satoshi Nakamoto by comparing him to the likes of:

  • Karl Marx
  • John M. Keynes
