Does it really matter who satoshi really was?

.., why not we just direct this questionable request of Satoshi's identity to Theymos since he is one known users who started this bitcointalk forum together with Satoshi as parent pioneers before platforms the hidden gem?

Dear @Theymos Sir, may you clear the air on your own view of Satoshi's identity?
I guess it will come as simple as "No, you don't know Satoshi". 😁.

Question from a user I recently referred to this platform.

Here: With all the speculations about the claims of revealing (unsealing) of Satoshi's Nakamoto's identity and the arguments in the forum, why not we just direct this questionable request of Satoshi's identity to Theymos since he is one known users who started this bitcointalk forum together with Satoshi as parent pioneers before platforms the hidden gem?

Who knows if there had been communal connections among them with probabilities to had have clue of each other as they may share same vision in the cryptography on Bitcoin and with his(Theymos) profile and influence in the platform being created by Satoshi himself?

The platform operates on pseudonymous users security identity  from it origin which Theymos may not be privileged to know Satoshi as thought.

With no doubt, even some old folks here may be accommodating  same thought as this questionable discretion for long now. Perhaps it got me a deep thought Which would be better come from the horses mouth.

All being seem silly, my humble apology if the thread may carry disapproval contents to you all.

I've rethought this, and I won't be releasing the PMs in 2021. I'm convinced that nobody will ever identify Satoshi no matter what info comes out, so I'm not worried about that, but I am concerned about the privacy of those who communicated with him. For example, kiba once said that he tried to send a gift to Satoshi, but Satoshi declined (reportedly saying something like "I already have plenty of BTC"). If the PMs for this exchange exist in the database and hypothetically look like this:

Then it would put a big target on kiba's back. (This is only a hypothetical example: in reality, kiba never published the amount he offered Satoshi, if any amount was even specified.) Even if I screened the PMs in advance for obvious stuff like this, it's impossible to find everything. Eg. maybe someone who talked to Satoshi was trying to be anonymous, but people are able to find him just based on his writing style or knowledge.

I do think that there could be historically-relevant info in there, so maybe if Bitcoin has taken over the world in like 50 years and historians are clamoring to know more about its history, I or my successors could be convinced to revisit the issue. Or maybe not; don't get your hopes up. (I still haven't read the PMs, BTW; maybe they're all really boring.)

- I was made a forum admin in 2011, after Satoshi left. (Silk Road also appeared after Satoshi left.) I didn't have any special access to bitcoin.org until around 2013, and in fact I didn't even have any access to the bitcointalk.org DNS until 2013.

It's surprising how well-documented history can become totally forgotten... Satoshi created the forum on Nov 22, 2009, and was head administrator until almost 2011. Then Sirius was head administrator until 2012, which is when I took over.

Cobra also owns the bitcointalk.org domain name. I consider the forum to be basically owned by or at least dedicated to the Bitcoin community, though; I don't call anyone an owner of the forum.

That wiki article is kind of terrible...

The story of how I became head admin is actually pretty boring. Moderators were needed, so I was made a global moderator. Then admins were needed, so I was made an admin. Then over time the other admins slowly lost interest and resigned until I was the only one left. I guess most of the people who were around here to see this have more-or-less left the community now. That's a bit sad.

It's not entirely clear, but for simplicity I usually say that I became head admin at the beginning of 2011, a little over a year after the forum was created.

The forum was originally located at bitcoin.org/smf, then forum.bitcoin.org (hence the redirect), and finally bitcointalk.org. Fun fact: The name "bitcointalk" was invented by Jeff Garzik, and he's the one who bought the domain.

I don't know why some persons are hell bent on knowing Satoshi's true identity. Op, I believe you've exchanged private messages with other users on the forum. Does it mean you know their true identity? It's the same case with the admin and Satoshi. Bitcoin brought their paths together, they exchanged mails and when Satoshi wanted to leave, he handed the forum to TM. It does not mean he knows who Satoshi is.
