I honestly believe that he is dead. I believe it was Hal Finney, and since he is dead (though cryopreserved) I believe that satoshi is dead as well. I get that he was the first person to ever receive bitcoin from satoshi, which makes people question "why would anyone who wants to hide who they are, would send it to their public name as the first transaction" but I think that was an obvious way of hiding, he was trying to say "it's so obvious that it is not true because it can't be that simple".

Have we heard from satoshi since then? Like officially? I think he wasn't heard as far as I know. It is a probability that it was him, and he is gone, and that money is gone. If any miracle happens and if Satoshi comes back, then I guess that would stir up this crypto community which will trigger more massive adoption somehow in my opinion.

satoshi has no control of the bitcoin network. there is no backdoor that he has access to. so a government cant do anything about it if he was found. there is no threat or harm

satoshi is not hiding due to any threat of government grabbing him. he just didnt want to be seen/treated as a central reference point back in 2010 because some people were blindly following him, which went against the point of bitcoin

in recent years however, there are 3 people that do have the github control of the main reference client software upgrades, which pretty much everyone blindly follows.., they are publicly known people and yet governments are not chasing them. so this proves that the government are not bothered about gaining control of things like bitcoin core

if the government wanted to grab someone that does have some form of control. it would be those that have the github access to implement new release candidates of bitcoin core. however governments can simply make a court order to hand to github itself to gain access to github. and again this has not happened, thus no real threat.

I agree partially with what you have to say.
If Github is compromised like that. They will just fork the code and new chain will continue.
How many bitcoiners/miners want to be part of the Government Bitcoin chain?

IMHO, it doesn't matter anymore. Bitcoin relying on its value would depend now on the community together with supply and demand.
So if Satoshi shows up, it's possible that there could be temporary dump. But we know what else could come next to it, everyone would rush to buy those cheap bitcoins or the financial institutions that have been doing that are the ones to do it for us.

Yeah, as said, there could be a temporary dump after he's shown up. But for years of having that 1 million bitcoin in pieces, in quantity. If he really has the intention to sell then he have done that already when bitcoin reached its thousand dollar value for the first time. Someone who's happily going to cash out with that amount just like us, we're the same in thinking that it has been done already. But just like what I've said, the market is now in the hands of the community and as well as the whales portrays a role still.

I dont think Bitcoin value and its demand would get decreased if Sotoshi is identified. I am sure Bitcoin's growth was depending on its network and etc. Yes there were lots of struggles in the beginning but then yes the growth has been amazing. Everyone would greatly welcome Satoshi. He will be looked up on unique and yes he will be spoken in history. But I am sure the demand for it will not decrease.

Well, as in any traditional system, when Satoshi's identity is revealed, it results in his being arrested without saying a word, therefore for me it is much better for him to remain anonymous, both for the market demand to continue to increase and for that he never give governments the pleasure of seeing him behind bars.

In addition, the Bitcoin market has been going on for more than 10 years, it is proven that it is not a bubble and that it is being regulated by the governments because they know that the BTC at any moment could reach a taste of $100k.
