Of course Satoshi will still be a big influence because after all if there is no Satoshi then there will be no bitcoin today so any form of activity that tries to be associated with Satoshi will definitely be a situation that can become hot especially with some of those who claim themselves Satoshi because apart from many who will question the truth (even though it is certainly not true) there will be some people who will consider this as a joke or in some others feel insulted because Satoshi is juxtaposed or claimed by that person.
So in the end this will still provide a situation where a lot of reactions will be created when someone claims they are Satoshi.

I personally find this entertaining because I think it is a funny thing where there will always be people who consider themselves Satoshi even though in the end there will not be many people who will believe it but are still confident in claims that they cannot prove.

Fraudsters like Craig? Nah. I don't think they are the enemy. Or worse, pose a threat to Bitcoin's very existence. People who pretend to be Satoshi are just looking for fame and fortune. They want to get all of the media's attention, with the hopes of influencing market prices to their own direction. Unless one of them proves they're the real Satoshi and moves BTC across the Blockchain, there should be nothing to worry about.

Like I've said before, governments are the real enemy. They come up with obstacles to help prevent Bitcoin from overcoming Fiat. The community needs to keep BTC decentralized if they want it to last forever. The day Bitcoin becomes centralized, will mark the end of it. Governments will be able to manipulate it or shut it down for good. Would be a shame for Bitcoin after it got this far. It's an unpredictable future, so I'd hope for the best.

I think Satoshi's role is always important. However, it is not necessary to reveal his identity because it just ruins the Bitcoin decentralization.

Sure. Satoshi has created and started the existence of Bitcoin. He already planned it to be decentralized, that's why he left Bitcoin. He may also be aware about the potential risks if he didn't walk off. It can be bad for Bitcoin existence and his safety. I'm sure everything is as Satoshi's expected. So, it is strange that there are people who always try to reveal the identity of Satoshi.

Most Bitcoin critic are people that missed the opportunity to buy Bitcoin because they didn't believe it will be this popular or they didn't want to support something that'll take their jobs. Bitcoin critic always have something bad to say about bitcoin. When the prices is rising, they'll say it's rising too fast and when it's dipping, they'll call Bitcoin a scam. For most of this critics, giving them an opportunity to buy Bitcoin when it was newly launched, with them knowing what the future holds for Bitcoin, they'll buy that's why I don't take them serious or listen to anything they have to say. Some critics are being sponsored by the government and banks that don't want to lose their jobs. They make use of the media and other resources they have available to them for pushing their agenda. But their plans aren't going to manifest because of the rate at which Bitcoin ignore them and continue to progress.

I don't think that's true. If satoshi makes himself public, he will have to make speeches about crypto and he will have to power to move a multi trillion dollar market. He can crash or pump the markets with a word that comes out of his mouth. He is probably a stronger person than both Elon and Trump combined at the moment. Having that kind of power in his possession is dangerous af so he better stay anonymous. And I don't even need to mention the amount of bitcoins he owns. ( a million )

I hope we never find out his real identity.

You need to understand humans and tolerate them. In as much as I believe that revealing Satoshi's identity has no benefit to the bitcoin community, there are those who are naturally inquisitive and they will tend to know the original and creator of Bitcoin before they'll invest in it.

There are historians who also are bitcoiners. There are researchers who also are bitcoiners. So, you don't because you want to believe bitcoin and tell them to leave their professions. Trying to uncover the identity of Satoshi doesn't make anyone less a bitcoiner.

Do you think Biden and the Democrats are a disaster for bitcoin? If they were also disastrous for bitcoin, why were bitcoin ETFs approved, and then bitcoin skyrocketed to $73k in March of this year? I agree with you that if Harris wins, it will be pretty bad for the market but not a disaster. There may be disappointment and the market will dump but that is only short term, it cannot last forever.



You have to understand that, in the position of government, they are responsible for protecting the country, protecting the economy, the lives and safety of the people...they have thousands of things to worry about. So it is understandable why they are not in a rush to adopt something new, they need time to evaluate before taking a final stance on them. That is why after 15 years, many governments are becoming more friendly to bitcoin. Everything takes time, especially when it affects the entire country and not just 1 or 2 individuals.
Luckily, bitcoin has been successful and brought us many benefits, but if it harmed many people, I bet you would be glad when the government decided to block bitcoin soon. Instead of imposing your thoughts on others, put yourself in their shoes to know what they think.

Do you know why El Salvador loves bitcoin and is quick to legalize it? They are a country without their own currency, on the verge of bankruptcy and accepting bitcoin is considered the last resort they can try.

It's better to stay that way for himself and BTC too.
I think he is much smarter for staying nobody for everybody for such a long time.

I agree that revealing Satoshi Nakamoto identity may briefly affect Bitcoin price. However as more people use Bitcoin this issue will fade. Currently only 2% of world population owns Bitcoin leaving room for growth. I share your concern about big investors unpaid profits. If they cash out market might drop significantly.

Individual investors can not keep prices up alone so institutional actions matter. We should watch what big investors do and how it affects market. Other important factors include changes in laws and global economics and investment strategies.
