Why is it necessary? There is no urgency for Satoshi to need to reveal his identity because he does not need to do something like that - and people also do not really care who Satoshi is because the Bitcoin he developed is already running and whether he wants to reveal his identity or not, the credibility of Bitcoin and people's trust in it has been built and people no longer care who is behind it. Moreover, there are more important things to discuss about Bitcoin than Satoshi's identity, so just stop asking questions like this.

why?

they can claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto all they want, but if they can't properly prove it, no sane person in the community will believe what they claim. also, again, why?

why?

@OP why are you so adamant about wanting to know who satoshi is, I know curiosity can be a bitch but if the man wants to live anonymously, let him be.

Do people still care to know who Satoshi Nakamoto is actually? I thought we’ve gone past this stage long ago and everyone is happy with his invention and using them without any doubt to find out who he is actually. OP, let those imitating him continue and if they are not him, we can easily know. When you’re a legend, a lot of people tend to imitate you and want to be like you, that doesn’t call for you to reveal yourself after you’ve passed what needs to be passed.

The future of bitcoin might be at stake when he reveals himself, bitcoin might have been instilled already in us and will not perish anytime soon but I still feel his presence known will affect bitcoin. Let the bitcoin adoption continues with or without him known. I am okay with it like this as long as bitcoin widespread adoption won’t be affected or limited to some extent. It is indeed facing a lot of hard times and it’s striving to become a global use financial asset to rely on.

No, I prefer this mistery to remain unsolved. We don't need to know who he is, because what would be the purpose of it, if not purely curiosity? It's good for Bitcoin if Satoshi remains anonymous, so it's good for us Bitcoin investors as well. If his identity were revealed, BTC price would probably crash deeply as consequence, as people would start connecting his image to personal interests of determined groups of power.

Bitcoin works because it's decentralized, while every other altcoins always have a touch of centralization. Take Ethereum for example: its creator is publicly known, therefore ETH is directly attached to any moves he makes inside the sphere of his personal life.

If Bitcoin can continue free from this desnecessary condition, it's much better for us.

Did you land from another planet right now? Because if you just use the forum search button, you will get how many forum users raise this question. Simply, you can engage there and start discussing with your opinion. Back to the point, nobody has any idea about Bitcoin creator. Either it's a single person or a team; they all hide themselves. I don't think they need to reveal themselves. Claiming to be a bitcoin creator is just nonsense since they don't have any solid evidence to prove it. So forget about who is Satoshi.
