What was the point of this thread? It seems as though you created it in the hope of receiving merits, you did not enlighten with anything new.

The strength of Bitcoin come from its decentralized nature and the support from the multitude of individuals all around the world who has invested Into Bitcoin, who is mining Bitcoin and who is defending the claim of the false faketoshi. The support that a a lot of people have for Bitcoin is unbeatable and that's one of its greatest strength.

If you carefully read through the post, you'll understand that the content of the post did not in any way undermine the importance of decentralization and security network of Bitcoin rather, I pointed out how the anonymity of Satoshi helped improve decentralization and security of Bitcoin.
That said, do you think decentralization and security of Bitcoin would've been as effective as it is if the identity of Satoshi was made known to the general public?

The essence of coming to this Bitcointalk is to learn about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general as well discuss your knowledge with members of the forum and as one who's not on the same knowledge rank about Bitcoin with you, why do you think sharing my knowledge about what I learn and think of Bitcoin translates to merit hunting? I think you should do more in encouraging newbies, junior members and members instead of dropping discouraging remarks on their posts.

I understand well, I just wanted to point out that satoshi anonymity isn't Bitcoin greatest strength
And at the end of my post I stated that it has an impact positively and didn't undermine its importance.
 


It did help at the early stage
But satoshi identity has nothing to do with decentralization since its open sourced and it's protocol decentralized.

Satoshi identity has nothing to do with Bitcoin security since its POW.

I read that Homo sapiens became the dominant species on planet Earth precisely because they learned to create myths.

What is the power of myth? A myth, that is, a fascinating, well-told story, can inspire a huge number of people. Inspired by a myth, these people are able to unite and implement large-scale projects that other animals that are not able to create myths, such as anthropoid apes, could never implement.

The story of Satoshi Nakamoto is also a kind of myth. The story of a mysterious developer who created a decentralized protocol for transferring value in the virtual space, that is, bitcoin, and then disappeared, cannot leave anyone indifferent.

Therefore, yes, I agree that the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, and most importantly, that he remained anonymous, is a very important part of Bitcoin. This is one of the most important competitive advantages of Bitcoin compared to any other cryptocurrency.

I ask myself the same thing and still haven't been able to figure out the purpose of the thread. The title is about the anonymity of Satoshi being Bitcoin greatest asset which I think is silly but the body of the post actually do not match with the title of the post.
Post like this has no value to the poster or we the readers and it won't get you merit OP.

People do not know that Satoshi Nakamoto’s anonymity was primarily for his own protection and not necessarily to strengthen Bitcoin. Before disappearing, he ensured that Bitcoin was a decentralized system controlled by everyone, the community and not a single individual. If people truly understood that Satoshi has already fulfilled his role on Bitcoin, there would be less obsession over his identity. In fact, his reappearance could potentially have a negative impact on Bitcoin. Why worry about who created Bitcoin when it continues to thrive without him?

I think there are one/two other reasons why bitcoin is so special. The blockchain is impossible to manipulate, the notes in the whole world harmonize with each other, which I think is beautiful kind of technology.cPeople work together to hold on a wonderful system. And the think that you can p2p exchange your values without a bank, that is another key that people need. Short, two things that make bitcoin so valuable. I hope that will never change.

I wonder what name his kids use at school when the subject of kids dads comes up (maybe parents/teachers meetings). Surely the Nakamoto children don't use Satoshi? Maybe Sam, or Steve, possibly Sheldon?
