I believe in the future, we will know who he really is and the reasoning behind. For now, be grateful that we have this crypto market and blockchain tech that is revolutionizing a lot of things in how humanity is doing their businesses. Whatever his reason is, we are already benefiting from this market.


That actually is the point here, we don't need to look for Satoshi's identity in order for this market to thrive. As we have seen, this technology are conquering mainstream without his identity involved. So we can speculate all we want but as we have witnessed, this market will continue to proliferate even without his identity known to public.

Really? but Bitcoin has politics in there because any improvement, change or update are depends on majority pools. So, it depends on their decision, hopefully they're always make decision by thinking about Bitcoin's purpose and it's longevity instead of their own benefit.

Or maybe he will appeared not in our generations, so we will know Satoshi as completely unknown person.

I don't agree to that because I believe Satoshi exists but my confusion is if he's a man, woman or a group of people that decided to make use of the name to confuse anybody trying to know who they're but from the different things that has happened, I think we can rule out the possibility of Satoshi being a group but more of an individual that is hiding his identity very well. Satoshi might be died and we won't know and that makes me believe that Satoshi can never be found.

I think there's no one that know who Satoshi is because if there was, they would have betrayed him since, for the reward that the federal government will be offering. Satoshi knows that if he reveals his identity, it's going to affect the market and the growth of Bitcoin hence he choose to stay anonymous forever and that's the best thing he can do.

I'm just going to bump my part of the thread here and say that nobody has thus far given me a compelling refutation of my theory that Satoshi was/is a CIA/NSA/FBI agent (or team) who created Bitcoin as a honey pot device that got out of hand. I have about as much positive evidence as any other theory here, but... it sure explains a lot... 

Assumption without evidence proofs he doesn't exist because what can you use to judge his existence, not like his supposed "claimed" wallet has been moved a while, it's not like there has been a developer who pass BIP are anonymous, most of them are known atleast by the community for some safety and security of the network but none proof to be Satoshi. If only there is Satoshi by my own assumption, then it can only be a group of people who decide to make it looks this way.


There were people on this forum that started early with him and would have make it easy back then to know much more about Satoshi but they refused not to do it. There was a time the administrator wanted to share the IP address login of Satoshi on the Bitcointalk but some reasons due to privacy, they refused and it's obvious we know why they didn't.  If really Satoshi is going to be betrayed, I'm sure there would be lead many years before now but because the people that were here understand the mission and they have carried it along with them. Bitcoin will remain Bitcoin with or without Satoshi.

I agree with that. Gaining knowledge should be the first and foremost step for anyone before they get involved with Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in general.


Satoshi's identity revelation might temporarily affect Bitcoin, its price, or its reputation, but it won't be permanent. I'm sure people will forget about everything and start using Bitcoin normally again after some time. Those who are using Bitcoin for what it has to offer, such as decentralization, easy peer-to-peer transactions, security, and anything else wouldn't stop using it only because satoshi's identity has been revealed which barely has any possibility of happening anyway.

I totally agree there - the biggest concern would be for Satoshi himself, what he would do afterward, and how entities of different scales would react to knowing who he is and where to dig.

Maybe he want to emphasize that those devs which transparent on their identity is more trusted. And to many things puzzled him and he cannot fully trust bitcoin since  the identity of the creator remain unknown. But people should know that despite of those things the identity of the owner doesn't affect the current stand of bitcoin. Many people still adapt or accumulate its because they know that bitcoin is good asset. Many has been curious to know the reason of deciding to be anonymous, but majority just don't care about it and want to respect the creators decision on things he want to do.

That will just put Satoshi in danger because many agencies will be after him. Not just his safety but also his relatives and families safety. We don't know what is the reason why Satoshi doesn't reveal his identity to the public so we can only guess. I think Satoshi will not show himself/themselves to public and will still remains in the dark. That is the best thing that Satoshi can do to prevents from the bad things that can happens to Satoshi.

Why wouldn't they? The CIA is not in the business of making money from software, they do stuff to gather intel on people.

And while Bitcoin nor anything else "threatens" the USD (that doesn't even make sense), why would some worker at the CIA care about that?



Right. Just like "FunGirl79" in the chat room is a 14 year old from Minnesota not, say, a 42 year old FBI agent trying to catch online creepos. 

Are you aware that the CIA/NSA/etc. actually... lie sometimes?
