Bitcoin Forum

Many believed that the inventor of Bitcoin wants to remain anonymous to avoid legal consequences as what happened during 2007 about E-Gold, one of the first digital money (Bernard, 2017). On the other hand, I think it would be better if the founder of Bitcoin will reveal his identity since many countries recognized the essence of this cryptocurrency.

If this might happen, it will contribute for more development of digital currency and regulations in Bitcoin procedures. Also, the acknowledgement must be given for the person who invented the most efficient digital currency in our society.

What are your thoughts?

You're only looking at the bright side, you have to look at the cons too when someone like Satoshi suddenly reveals his/her/their identity. If Satoshi decides to show up, his life will be more riskier than usual knowing that he has a lot of Bitcoin in his wallet. This would put more pressure on Bitcoin now that people knows he's out there. Some could even hunt him down like the government and force him to do things that would destroy Bitcoin. It's best for him to not reveal his identity and if he wants to develop Bitcoin he could just use a different alias.

There is no need for Satoshi to reveal his Identity, as many factors may play against him but not the bitcoin, as to why he invented something that is beyond the control of the government and a threat to a centralized system. As we write, bitcoin has gone beyond Satoshi himself. There is certainly nothing he can do about the bitcoin network now, as the control of the entirely network is not resting on any sole body or person. So staying anonymous is okay. Lets stop and think for a moment: "The name Satoshi Nakamota is more of a mystery than one could easily decode". It's just like the author of "The Mafia Manager" called the V, who is reputed to keeping a several residence, and whose present residence is a guided secret.

his mindset was not really about staying hidden and worried about authorities arresting him for counterfeiting. yea it was a concern in 2008-2009 for him. but it wasnt why he left in 2010-2011. he wasnt so much caring about identity.
for instance he never commented to halfinney, mike hearne, gavin andressen, etc that they should be careful about using their real names.

parts of his final few months were more about not wanting to be the head decision maker he didnt want to review peoples code and vet what should go in or not. he didnt want the fame/leader role. he didnt want to be the go to guy. he wanted people to develop their own code and work as united to discuss the best options available and to develop code that would acivate if everyone (majority) used it

so i dont think he will come back and try to declare leadership. if anything he is probably already involved some where offering tips and tweaking code or spotting bugs or submitting proposals like other do. but just using a new pseudonym

I don't think Satoshi should reveal his identity! Why he should? Bitcoin is going smoothly, if he reveals his identity then many governments will hunt him down. And some country can catch him to down the bitcoin and crypto market totally. Not only The Life, here i would say the world is not roses of bed!

Satoshi Nakamoto revealing himself/herself/themselves would bring an effect to decentralization. One of the reasons why bitcoin is so great compared to other cryptocurrencies is that bitcoin doesn't have a sort of CEO or an entity that's higher among the others; making bitcoin significantly more decentralized.

Satoshi revealing himself/herself/themselves wouldn't bring anything positive to the space anyway, besides just satisfying people's curiosity on who Satoshi is.

So far it has only had a positive effect of not knowing who Satoshi Nakamoto is. Bitcoin has evolved and we do not need to do a study of its developer. Effect of the unknown just to play in his favor. I do not think Satoshi Nakamoto will ever reveal his true identity. It exists and it is enough. Some people have an idea of ​​who it may be because this new idea of ​​Blockchaine was already in the head of 3 people.
Finally the suspense continues and all the better.

until now I also don't know who satoshi nakamoto is the inventor of bitcoin, so I think Satoshi Nakamoto will reveal his true identity. that is enough for all of us

I do not see any reason why satoshi should reveal him/her self, after creating this digital currency I think he went anonymous so the currency would continue to remain decentralized,with no one to be pointed out as the "president" of the technology.
  I think he's decision should be respected as his return could draw undue attention to himself and lead to some unwanted changes in the bitcoin system.

i believe that one day satoshi or the group behind this name will reveal himself/themselves.
but i don't think it will happen in the near future.
they must be waiting for a time wherein cryptocurrency will be globally accepted already and has stable foundations too.
:D

The fact is you knowing about his identity? How does it help the bitcoin grow rather he will be putting himself in danger, since governemt is not please with bitcoin as they cant find a way to regulate it. To me he can keep his identity i just appreciate him and wish him well.

Nakamoto is right for staying anonymous. The amount of attention he will get should he reveal his true identity will only endanger his life. Yes, it has its perks, but I'm guessing it won't outweigh the risks that come with it.

There's no value in knowing the identity of Satoshi. Only bad things can come of it -- pressure from governments, threats on his life, etc. Bitcoin is much better off without some figurehead like Ethereum has with Vitalik Buterin. Having no founder/leader removes one possible attack vector.

I'm also an advocate for privacy. He/they should just be left alone.

Firstly, who said that he or she is a one person?
It could easily been a group of person or even organisation.

If he is only one person, i dont think that it would be wise to be reveal himself , as i heard there already is people who are prepared to pursue legal action against him.

I think revealing your identity when you handle this type of technology is somewhat dangerous,being the founder you  must have atleast  20% of the total coin volume or maybe less or more,then if you reveal your identity you can be easily targetted by thiefs or worst will die and lose  everything

There are always pros and cons to everything.
Remaining anonymous is the best thing.Already hackers scammers fraudsters and may be few monsters are out there looking for him. ;D
Its very obvious the technology developed and already affected many lives and will be affecting many more.
It is very obvious that you have also interacted or traded with him :D :

Found a nice inspiring line :-
Many have speculated that Nakamoto may be a group of people who pooled their knowledge in order to create the system. Today, the preference for anonymity has gone by the wayside and most developers of crypto projects are much less secretive about their personnel. This may have a lot to do with the need for transparency as the cryptocurrency space becomes saturated with scams or the need to be seen as a successful entrepreneur to inspire investor confidence when doing an ICO.

BTC is great! However, what do you thing about stable coins? Have you heard about Nebula Network? It's decentralized storage cloud with stable cryptocurrency based on its own blockchain.

The popularity of bitcoin is increasingly popular, the poem was founded in 2009 by a mysterious man named Satoshi Nakamoto. Evidently, now 1 bitcoin is worth US $ 19,097 or around Rp. 272 ​​million, according to exchange rates on the Fulus website.

Until now it remains anonymous, but one day there must be someone who revealed this Satoshi Nakamoto, however this discovery is extraordinary, and certainly will be included in the list of technological discoveries and become a history that will not disappear.
It is also natural if you are still anonymous because this is certainly more difficult to express because many are eyeing it and becoming uncontrollable public scrutiny.

In my opinion, it's better to remain Anonymous. If the identity is known to many people, many will hunt down the system and will become individual property. if it has become an individual property it will be very expensive to be able to have Crypto.
Identity is not told to everyone, because the creator of Bitcoin does not want to sell the system to anyone.

Bitcoin has already been able to establish itself with the people knowing that the founder is Satoshi regardless of his anonymity so I prefer to have him remain as is. Revealing himself at this point may be too dangerous for himself plus it could have some legal implications too.

There is absolutely no good reason for Statoshi to reveal him or their identity. First off the development of the blockchain is happening regardless of statoshi's identity. He or they set the first blocks and decided it to be open source. People took it from there. Now another point to consider is that satoshi might even be an organization but it does not matter.

This. Satoshi is holding onto a HUGE fortune. Satoshi revealing his/her/their identity definitely won't do anything good, so I really doubt Satoshi will reveal his/her/their identity. We should just be thankful for Satoshi's invention, and that's it.

I don’t care more about of Founders of bitcoin! I only to know! How to invest in bitcoin because Founder want to private!

In my knowledge,an unknown person named himself as Satoshi Nakamoto has created bitcoin in 2009.Bitcoin has been divided into 100 million bits or satoshis in honor of its creators. Bittersweet can not be controlled by individuals, companies, banks or any government, it is a currency digital flowing for free on the internet.Bitcoin mined maximized to 21 million according to the algorithm designed by its creator.

We don't need to know Satoshi's identity. We are just grateful and thankful to the inventors of Bitcoin because they can use Bitcoin properly until now the price of Bitcoin is very high.

The founder of bitcoin is still unknown and its better to remain anonymous for their security. But Satoshi Nakamoto was a named they used to hide their identity, but the most important thing is that we are blessed to be shared with their masterpiece and gives a great opportunity to earn more profit and a better future. Thank you, Satoshi.

After me, a very influential person in the world of bitcoin is Satoshi Nakamoto. Although no one knows who Sathosi Nakamoto really is but he is very well known in the world of bitcoin. But until now no one knows his face or his photo. But whoever we are we deserve to thank him because he who has pioneered bitcoin until bitcoin can be what it is now.

It's true that your opinion should be the identity of someone who found bitcoin to be able to display their identity so that bitcoin will be increasingly known in the eyes of the world.

I don't think Satoshi should reveal his identity! Why he should? Bitcoin is going smoothly, if he reveals his identity then many governments will hunt him down. And some country can catch him to down the bitcoin and crypto market totally. Not only The Life, here i would say the world is not roses of bed! its better it would be to know that he is an anonymous  ;D

I respect the decision of satoshi that he dont want to reveal his identity. Your opinion is right , but it still depends on him if he want to reveal himself. I think we just need to be thankful to him since he create and develop bitcoin that helps us in so many ways.

True, it is better to keep like this. Even real Satoshi Nakamoto revealed, it can have 2 impact, good or bad side. And no one know it yet. If not revealed, and we keep give bitcoin good news, price can back to increase.

This could be the worst thing that may happen just in case the real creator of bitcoin will reveal himself. There are so many huge people specially government wants to control not only money but almost everything, including us. That's why I believe being anonymous is what the bitcoin makes more so special and it should stay this way.

I think the reason why he doesn't want to reveal himself to public is because he wanted to be anonymous for safety purposes.Satoshi Nakamoto is what we only known its name but not physically stays humble and maybe he doesn't want to be more recognize to the public,hes reason remains anonymous just like his creation BTC the concept of anonymity is what i see one of his purpose.

Satoshi Nakamoto is an organization in Japan that has established bitcoin. Nobody knows what Nakamoto is, but they created the first electronic currency in the world. Currently, bitcoin is a very valuable coin. Bitcoin is a lot of investors trust and invest in a lot.

Identity was announced as Satoshi Nakamoto, who created landmark in the industry when it was he who created Bitcoin, laying the foundation for money algorithm.

Yeah right.
And a lot of government agencies will take him and then what!?

Say goodbye to crypto currencies which gives you freedom.
Of course he will not risk his life and just give everything he knew on how to do it.

As if he was a martyr that will sacrifice himself for it.

I would not worry about that. Instead get moving and spread ths good news about bitcoin. That will help a lot.

Until now the founders of Bitcoin have always hidden their identities, but I think that is indeed the best for them to do, and I think that's good enough.

I think, it's impossible, satoshi will always be anonymous, maybe today Satoshi stay in this forum, monitoring and seeing us, even seeing the bitcoin market activity in every market.

bitcoin can not only replace E-Gold, but bitcoin can replace all currencies, so the threat to him is not only from one party.

I think, the solution is to create a law that can protect him from all threats.

Yes, I agree with you, just let this bitcoin continue to be anonynous, because then bitcoin will be more natural, because in my opinion the founder of Bitcoin will not reveal his identity to the public. Bitcoin is only for digital currency, because the internet is Anonymous, so Bitcoin will also continue to be Anonymous forever.

We don't get to choose, if satoshi wants to remain anonymous then we must respect his wishes, besides nothing is going to change, we do not know who he is and yet the market has grown in an incredible way and the reason is simple because the market of cryptocurrencies does not rely on trust, we do not need to trust in satoshi, if you like you can see the code and you will find that there is nothing suspicious.

Greatest people would like to remain unknown until they die. Satoshi has a good reason for staying a mystery. Even if he reveals himself, what can it do? Nothing. If you just want people to believe you that crypto is real, then don't bother making them belive. Let them see the result.

Bitcoin has outperformed every single national currency and really had given financial freedom to us in many scenarios.
A new technology that had brought revolution can't be ignored and in coming years it will be reaching heights.
Today almost there are more than 1600 cryptocurrency and the number is still growing and this all because of Anonymous Nakamoto. :P
We are all really thankful for this.Market up or down people always have profit here.
Only problem is that scammers and hackers-and that still remains great threat.
Have a nice day All.

Don't you think governments will hunt him down? Not only them but criminals too/

why should he/she/it reveal it's identity? would you?? would you want to have to buy in private security and safety vests? live in hidding?

on the other hand, have you ever tought that this might have been a way for someone/institution/organization to control and chage society without exposure? (I've heard a lot of theories  ;D )

I don't understand how revealing the identity of the original creator would help in anyway concerning governments acceptance...

For what Satoshi Nakamoto did was right in my opinion, and isn't necessary I think to reveal Himself in this field of business anyway.
Besides from 2009 up to the present Bitcoin was being patronized all over the world, in  fact look at its price value. Isn't that's enough to say that Bitcoin really popular in terms of online transaction as digital payment in all aspects of business because of the blockchain.

Satoshi Nakamoto wants some privacy and we need to understand his decision. Do you think it will help bitcoin if he reveal his identity? In fact why cant we just be thankful to him? No matter who he is , he give a huge impact on our lives.

I think it is good to keep the identity of Bitcoin owner. Because, he owns a lot of Bitcoin. If he reveals his identity, his life may be more risky than usual. I love and appreciate him. In my opinion "You are just your intelligence".

I really do wonder if Satoshi will ever return again and use his coins for a good cause, however most believe he is already dead and his coins are lost forever.

very true because since the birth of bitcoin, bitcoin already has an identity that is as an anonymous digital currency, even the founder. People will get to know bitcoin now and if it has changes, there may be lots of pros and cons

I agree with you hats of to this man for all his efforts. Ofcourse if we are earning here then he's the only reason for this. This technology is really impressing and he has changed the entire society. Digital currency has become the hot talk these days across the world.

Maybe, in my opinion, there are a lot of considerations that need to be considered in order to suddenly appear in the public, as we all know so far many claims to be Satoshi, but do not know which is right. And that will continue to be a conversation, perhaps also avoiding things that are less desirable.

Bitcoin was introduced to the humanity in the year 2009 and this year is a landmark as the bitcoin invention was done in this year and now bitcoin is considered as a boon for the humanity, for now bitcoin is a decentralised crypto currency and thus there is no such proper authentic regulating body over the bitcoin but there are assumptions that SATOSHI NAKAMOTO is the founder of bitcoin, though nobody has met him yet but still he used to interact with people on social networking sites and once in my life, I would like to meet him once.

At this point, whomever coded BTC will not come forward. But that person(s) is a hero!

Bitcoin is opensource, the community is also increasingly easy to do in a progressive and continuous development. Even audiences, can see a variety of information, on various explorer blocks that already exist.

Lets just all leave things the way it is today since bitcoin had already its name and prove that its existence was worth it.Lets just thank him for his creation and the concept of anonymity really helps us.

actualy its dont needed to revail the true identity of the founder of bitcoin in order to protect himself and all of his siblings into some threats from some bad people who co'z harm into there asset and security of his family,just like other VIP person in the worlds,they need to hide or become anonymous in there personality so that  they can protect there own reputation.

There are people who prefer to stay in the shade for more productive work, as well as for their safety. And I support this position. Can you imagine how a person's life will change if the public finds out that he is the Creator of bitcoin? This is a constant life under the lenses of cameras and news portals (which are very fond of coming up with something that is not really)

    Satoshi Nakamoto made bitcoin as anonymous for the security of everyone including himself. There is no need to reveal his identity because everyone is already happy and benefited with the digital currency created by that person. Let us alsi think the possible to happen if ever the founder of bitcoin will reveal his identity. It will have a good and bad effect both to the founder and the users of bitcoin.

Anonymity is the essential purpose of bitcoin and so does the creator of it. If he reveal himself that would put him more pressure particularly during this bitcoin crisis of deeper price decline many investors would him into blame as he could not make any action on how to make the bitcoin price more higher. Many greedy investors would hunt him down not just the government, they will hunt him not to arrest him but to make some bitcoin code distortion that would favor the interest of the government and other greedy investors and whales.

For me, what happening now is good for satoshi. Let him hide his identity for the good for the good. If he will show up what next? Do you think the government won't go after him? Satoshi is a genius guy. What he invented was really a threat to the government like blockchain. Blockchain can be use in many useful way that can fall down the government. So let Satoshi remained anonymous.

One big mystery of all time will be answered if he reveals himself.

But who to believe if many are already claiming it that they are the real satoshi nakamoto? If SN is still alive, I doubt that he will come out and introduce himself. That will reduce the character of bitcoin as he stands for bitcoin, its anonymity and decentralization.

He don't have to reveal himself or come out in the open, we are very much grateful to him but we should also protect him from media because his life will be in jeopardy because he seems to be a very private person, and besides he holds a lot of Bitcoin the IRS might go after him and also the SEC

What for? Why should this person reveal his personality? I'm sure that such a person or group of people feel great in the place where they are.

He should be honored but not to the point that we will disrupt his private life, and since many countries still treat Bitcoin as ponzi scheme it will harm his reputation if he ever come out and besides he will be targeted because of the many Bitcoin that he has in his wallet he will be forced to do a KYC let's not jeopardize his life.

You have  big points about the security of the founder of bitcoin aka nakamoto satoshi, but if satoshi nakamoto reveal his identity need to plan how to secured their life from the bad elements and for sure the government will give security personnel to protect their lives if ever he reveal his identity to depends their inventions to the government how to help for economic growth using dudgital currency.

Why would he revile him identity?  
The man doesn't need credit from anyone, that shows how noble he is,  and on the other hand, reviling his real identity to the public means putting his life and the bitcoin network in danger!
It is better for him to remain anonymous

I think, today the benefits of bitcoin can be felt by some people who understand decentralized currencies, especially bitcoin.

and  I think, that public response to bitcoin will change the legal consequences of satoshi, he will be free, and he is not a criminal, even geniuses people like him, will be a bone of contention for every country, he is only an innovator who creates a transaction system model.

I think Satoshi will not reveal his identity anymore, there is no chance! Even I think Satoshi will not come back to this forum too! I don't know, is he know how people love him! If Satoshi reveals his identity then the world will fall behind him! He is a great technologist man, and many countries will want him to clarify the blockchain network and sometimes his life may fall into danger!

Well, Mr. Satoshi has nothing to prove anymore as Bitcoin is already become world famous and recognized by most of the countries as good for alternative investments and as currency for direct spending so for me better he will just keep on hiding for security reasons as we all knows that he has the great amount of Bitcoin at his disposal.

There really lies a lot of theories about Satoshin Nakamoto, and yes, revealing his true identity have their benefits from giving him proper acknowledgement to making his creation better in form and function.

Yet, in my own belief, his true identity unexposed was something that brought good more than damage. Being unknown, the world embraced bitcoin as it is. Because of his non-existence, we had no choice but to try its feature along with the flaws and we we're okay with it. Imagine if Satoshi Nakamoto is around till date, the world might simply be throwing him lots of comments and suggestions and complaints instead of actually utilizing the bitcoin.

His silence proved to be a good thing really. But i my self would really love to see the day when Satoshi Nakamoto is finally unmasked.

In my opinion, it's better to stand obscure.it's do not needed to revail the true identity of the founder of bitcoin.they want to veil or become obscure in there personality.so let satoshi remained anonymous.

Satoshi Nakamoto, May be if he come and reveal his identity that will gonna be the sensation within BTC MARKET. Even this may lead to a gradual change within the market. Prices may rise again and may be more and more people start investing in it. So if he came in and show up it will be u turn for BTC.

The founder of Bitcoin will never tell his identity to the Public in my opinion, enough only with a pseudonym in circulation from the first time Bitcoin was born. Satoshi Nakamoto's name is the right name for Bitcoin owners. so maybe Satoshi Nakamoto doesn't want to be open to his public identity because he knows that Bitcoin will become popular and will make pros and cons throughout the world. now it is true that with the birth of bitcoin the pros and cons arise.

Shatoshi Nakamoto, the founder of bitcoin, has appeared. He has become the richest person in the electronic money market. As the bitcoin market grows stronger and its price goes up, Nakamoto will get more money. Nakamoto is the current holder of bitcoin the most.

he doesn't make a move on genesis block. his money just on paper and he doesn't spend 1 penny. :D and I don't think I see him already on news

Those are just the addresses that are known to belong to him. There's a huge possibility that Satoshi is one of the first miners of bitcoin and he could have accumulated thousands of bitcoins just from that since there's not much miners before and the reward was still higher. Think about it. He was able to create this whole technology which seems to be ahead of his time, don't you think he would be able to think of what's going to happen after it was released? He thought it well how he's going to remain anonymous but still be able to enjoy the fruit of his labor. You can't just create something and not make it beneficial to you at all.

He's probably somewhere enjoying his wealth. He could have also created a script that distributes his mined bitcoin so it will not be in just one address to remain even more lowkey about it. One thing's for sure, he's out there just watching us. Just watching his creation grow.



I definitely fail to see the correlation of Satoshi exposing himself and the government or the people trusting cryptocurrency. It's not like Satoshi is going to cast a spell and suddenly everyone's now well-informed about cryptocurrency. Exposing himself will just result to death threats from big players and probably assassination. He's out there having the time of his life. There's zero need for him to expose himself unless he wants to toy with the community.

I myself still believe that Satoshi Nakamoto from Japan is the inventor of bitcoin. Crypto state in Japan is also good, unlike in China. so I think, this is the right time to express Satoshi's true identity, when there are many negative issues about bitcoin, and this recognition will be very important for the progress of bitcoin and further prospects.

Part of my view is the same as yours. Pseudonymity has been an inherent part of crypto, thus, the creator set a good example in this respect. To prove that our real world identity is really not necessary to operate bitcoin, he drove the nail home with perfect conviction. And everyone else can follow suit as it is proven to be effective.

A lot of articles that I've read says that Satoshi Nakamoto holds the most Bitcoin. Before he left the Bitcoin scene, they said that he mined a million Bitcoin. That is the reason he is considered the number one rich person because of cryptocurrency.

Because of that also, the theory of Good and Bad Satoshi was made. They said that Satoshi might use those Bitcoins to control the market, if in Good Purpose, he will be holding the BTCs for lower total supply making Bitcoin higher demand while if it is bad, Satoshi will be selling those number or huge amount of Bitcoin to the market when the price pumps making a huge dump.

I prefer if the inventor of bitcoin keeps it a secret to avoid the cons. even though bitcoin is growing very rapidly. it would be better to keep secret because there are certainly many people who will look for it

Let him just hide his identity. Nakamoto has a personal life and doesn't want to interfere the messy environment once people know his real identity. And most of us already accept the fact that even if we do not know his face, bitcoin is successful now, it does not affect any circumstances if ever.

Although the inventor of bitcoin, which is often referred to as Satoshi Nakamoto, has never shown his identity, but I am very grateful to him. People who have contributed to us all, especially fans of bitcoin. Thank you, Mr. Satoshi Nakamoto !!

We don't actually know who was the one who invented Bitcoins.
We just assume that a group of programmers or a individual person named "Satoshi Nakomoto" programmed the scrypts and invented bitcoins to carry out anonymous transactions.
Perhaps bitcoins were introduced as a anonymous currency and was mostly used in illegal works so thats why the owner of bitcoins or the one who invented bitcoins is not revealing his identity.
I would personally love to see the one who invented bitcoins.

Many people have tried to discover the real identity behind the name of satoshi nakamoto, but it is not really important to know that, satoshi created bitcoin in such a way that we can verify that many of his assertions are true, so we do not need to trust in him, if you have the knowledge you can look at the code and see that everything is okay.

too many considerations must be considered if satoshi nakamoto appears and testifies that he is the creator of bitcoin. because it will not be good for his life and for the survival of bitcoin
many people who are now always looking for the original figure behind the name Satoshi Nakamoto with the aim of seeking profit for themselves.
I believe that Satoshi Nakamoto always pays attention to every bitcoin development and he will be consistent not to admit that he is the maker of bitcoin at any time.

The different think between E-Gold and bitcoin is on the team. E-Gold controlled by company or person but not with bitcoin, thats why bitcoin dont break any rules and bitcoin is store of value and used for peer to peer transaction

Maybe nobody knows for sure who created Bitcoin, but a lot of the news that pioneered bitcoin is Satoshi Nakamoto. No one has known Satoshi Nakamoto's identity even though many people have been searching for it. Maybe the inventor of bitcoin doesn't want to reveal his identity because he wants to avoid counter.

Why does it matter who the founder is? Bitcoin is doing great and we should just be happy that we even have BTC.... Did you care who created cash? No but you bet you are glad it exists.

I think now people don't really care who is the founder of bitcoin that people think about how to have lots of bitcoin

Until now, the satoshi nakamoto is still a mystery to many people, because until now no one knows about it

Bitcoin is an unregulated digital currency that can be used to purchase goods,services online,illicit drugs online etc.It began in 2009 and transactions were anonymously.The anonymity makes it easier for some Bitcoin-users to do many wrong activities.
On the other hand Bitcoin is being recognized as a growing, powerful technology that is helping many small businesses to flourish.
In the past we all know about the silk road trades and the invention of bitcoin seems like that it had been created solely for that purpose but as time passed by slowly it became mass adoption and now its almost spread at each and every corner of the world.
And as long as people are making money no-one really does not care about his/their identity.

Well, many people lost their money on bitcoin's ups and downs. Definitely he is not the one to blame but people might be inadequate when it comes to their capital. If he (or she?) doesn't reveal the personality there might be a big reason for that.

Let Satoshi remain Banksy of the crypto world. ;D

The founders of bitcoin did everything right that they did not disclose their identity, otherwise the launch could not have been.

Well said!
Satoshi's identity is unnecessary now, and can only serve to satisfy the curiosity: "how does bitcoin inventor look like?"
Revealing his identity now may just end up endangering his life. So, It's better he stays a mistery.

but in term of general knowledge, we know who created cash. we don't care who did this. but this information is available. in the same point of view knowing or not knowing bitcoin's founder doesn't affect bitcoin's value and price itself. but we at least have this knowledge who is the real face behind this big revolutionary technology of the 21st century.

In August 2008, the domain name bitcoin.org was quietly registered online. Two months later, a paper entitled 'Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System' was passed around a cryptography mailing list.

The paper is the first instance of the mysterious figure, Satoshi Nakamoto's appearance on the web, and permanently links the name "Satoshi Nakamoto" to the cryptocurrency.

I really do wonder if Satoshi will ever return again and use his coins for a good cause, however most believe he is already dead and his coins are lost forever.

All we know that the founder of bitcoin is Satoshi Nakamoto but it is still unknown to us that he is trully the first person who discovered bitcoin or there is other person that has been adopted through his believe but actually not .

I think the fouder of bitcoin is satoshi because he also a creator of bitcoin so he is the only that control the flowing of bitcoin. We grateful because satoshi created and lead bitcoin because of him our life change and become brighter.

I think Satoshi Nakamoto is the name of a Bitcoin inventor, but he did not create it alone, I'm sure he owns a great team that doesn't want his identity to be known.

I bet that should he reveal himself, the country which he resides in would want to claim a lot of money from him because of taxation since he most definitely have a lot of Bitcoins in his wallet.

I think Satoshi Nakamoto is the name of the inventor of Bitcoin, but he didn't make it himself, I'm sure he has a great team that doesn't want his identity known. In my opinion, it's better to remain Anonymous. because many will hunt down the system and will become individual property if satoshi is found. if it has become an individual property it will be very expensive to be able to have Crypto.

Founding the founder will not be good for his life and for the existence of bitcoin. I believe that Satoshi Nakamoto is always interested in every bitcoin development and he will consistently not admit that he is a bitcoin maker at all.

Now it seems that it will always be hidden identity and no one will know who is Satoshi. Whether a male or female or a organization etc. This will remain the mystery itself. But whoever it may be has bought the new revolution in the crypto currency .

I really agree with this, bitcoin must be accounted for at this time because this has become the largest and most influential virtual currency in the world. So this group of companies must be truly organized and regulated by the world. the world and benefits from use of bitcoin anywhere.

in my opinion there is no need to reveal the identity of the founder of bitcoin, only to make bitcoin increasingly popular, because with anonymity the founder of bitcoin bitcoin has become very popular and has more and more users.

He has done a lot! it sad that people create fake accounts and try to scam people with his name. The good part is that others who know more about bitcoin , don't fall for scams like that and let others know, especially newbies about the scam! we are a great community.

BTC is a unique digital no Founder or exactly what it is we don't know who is he. Shatoshi Nakamoto is considered the father of the BTC, but that is just the nickname to refer to the creation of the BTC system and Blockchain, but no one knows exactly who he is, in any country. And very difficult to he can reveal his identity because that could be dangerous for him.

there's no need of doing anything like that. all that the person wanted was to create a technology that could solve the double spending problem and bring the digital assets dream come true for everyone. if he/she needed fame, it would have happened by now. many ppl love what they do, and this person did the same. what we can learn is that its imp to keep doing things that can support the society and rest everything comes after.

"Satoshi Nakamoto" and the results will lead you straight to image after image of an elderly Asian man. This is Dorian S. Nakamoto, named "Satoshi Nakamoto" at birth. He is almost 70 years old, lives in Los Angeles with his mother, and, as he has reminded people hundreds of times, is not the creator of Bitcoin.

If Satoshi Nakamoto show his identity at that time, than today he might have had to face many kinds of problems.
I think,today many rules would be put on him or he used to make it to the wrong people to use it according to his use. Whether it was prepared or a country could use it all at the same time as its own private property. Then might be direct impact fell on the bitcoin or perhaps it would have ended or its price would have been completely drowned.
On the other hand, if they knows Bitcoin and Blockchain would become so famous in the coming year. And the whole world follow it to adopt this technology, then may be he show his identity and patent this system. Then he could take royalty for whole life and also for his family.

Yes, bitcoin has the right to life. Exchangers working with the bitcoin for a long time. But to make money on Russian sites is very difficult. Payment is scanty and it is not worth the time spent.

In my opinion, this will not improve the greater development of the cryptocurrency world!  Why?  Because the banal persecution of this person or a group of people will begin. :)

One of the biggest mysteries in the technology world is the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the computer programmer who invented the digital currency bitcoin.
Experts agree that uncovering Nakamoto's identity could have an immense impact on bitcoin's economics and internal politics.
Nakamoto is believed to possess about five percent of the entire cryptocurrency. Today, that stash is worth over $5 billion.

He probably does or did want to remain anonymous due to the spotlight that would inevitably be shined on him and all the pressures that come along with that. E-Gold is completely different though. That was a centralized service. Bitcoin is the opposite. Even if Satoshi's identity was known, it's not like they could go after him and try get him to shut bitcoin down because it's just not possible (but maybe he didn't want the stress and hassle of the government even trying). Bitcoin is out there now and I think satoshi just wanted it to become its own thing naturally without any further intervention needed from him.


I disagree. What's the logic behind him being publicly known helping the development of bitcoin or regulation thereof? I don't see how it would make a difference whether he was known or not, but I can't really see anything positive coming from it. People would attack his character and background, and also probably rely on his opinion too much and who's to say he's even happy with the direction bitcoin has gone in? He may want to steer bitcoin in a direction some are unhappy with, or the state could try put pressure on him to try push it in a way that they favor. I think it's best he just remains as he is as bitcoin is doing okay without him and that's probably how it should be.

Yes, if the founder of Bitcoin will reveal his identity, it might turn out that such a solution would be good for this market, but this is not true. First of all, revealing his identity, a person is at risk of death, he would become a target for all who wanted to make a profit. which would bring great turmoil to the whole market.

I think that after all it is not one person, but the whole team which is behind this pseudonym. And in general frankly speaking, me in general вe it is equal who and if he wishes to remain an unknown, this his right.

As my thought, the founder of bitcoin shouldn't be revealed because it will make he/she/their life is dangerous with the huge bitcoin he/she/they have. Just stay anonymous and don't show up and the bitcoin is still growing up day by day.

The fact that the founder of Bitcoin appears there is common sense. Then people will learn the history of its creation and increase confidence.

I think that he should not reveal his identity because it may negatively affect Bitcoin and the market as a whole.

That is true (http://renovasi-rumah.net), because it’s impossible only Satoshi Nakamoto created bitcoin because it has a blockchain system that wasn’t known at that time. Maybe if the team or Satoshi Nakamoto reappeared at this time, it would definitely be a big news for all of us and many people would like to search Satoshi Nakamoto further to get more bitcoin. Satoshi Nakamoto certainly have a lot of bitcoin and will be our prey to be have more bitcoin.

Craig Wright, who professed to be the maker of Bitcoin and the man behind the Satoshi Nakamoto alias May 2016, is confronting a $10 billion claim in the territory of Florida. The suit is being delivered by the sibling of Dave Kleiman, who Wright has said assisted with the improvement of Bitcoin in the soonest long periods of its reality.

the reveal of its identity is not a big problem after this point I think as we have reached a good level of acknowledgment in crypto such as even if Satoshi comes out there won`t be much difference in my opinion.

I like btc and think that this is a really great coin with the obvious potential. To my mind, it is better to use btc for keeping. To my mind, it is better to buy btc now and later sell it when the price increases

by being anonymous he or she proves that btc is not dependent on anyone and can survive with or without its owner or creator that gives strong reasons for the decentralization itself.

until now if I think the founder of bitcoin until now there is still no one who knows for sure. but I was also very amazed by the founder of bitcoin who has genius thoughts and discoveries .
.but do not want to know their identity with certainty to others

why would this identity revelation make things easier in terms of regulation? this would do nothing except making that person/institution life miserable...
Who knows who or what Satoshi is?! if you think outside the box, satoshi can be a lot of things, especially of you take into account that blockchain is an old military tech that is used since a long time...
Even if he/she is an actual person, he might not want to become the target for media, scammers, crazy fans, etc.... if you where in his shoes, would you like it?

If  the founder of Bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto release his Identity at this time, migth be to his disadvantage as government globally through the world bank might arrest him as an individual creating a currency without an approval, policy and regulation allowing the creation of such currency before this can be done, I feel this might be a major reason why he has hibernate all this years.

Your idea is such a bright ideas but it has consequences if that person who own Bitcoin reveal his real identity.That person might be in danger because of that. And many people copy it's identity to scam and to get bitcoin to others in different ways. So I think it is better if that person does'nt reveal his identity to prevent danger and scam.

No one really knows at this point if bitcoin was the creation of a single person or a team, the indications that we have point that the person that communicated under the name of Satoshi Nakamoto seems to have been a single person, that doesn't mean that there was not a team behind him but at least that is the evidence that we have, and that is why I believe that bitcoin was created by a single person.

For me founder of bitcoin is for only big investors buying for bitcoins to manage the price of bitcoin.

I think it's quite risky for the inventor to reveal himself.

Marcus Andrade created AML Coin. The best coin in the market as this coin cannot be hacked. AML BitCoin rests on a privately regulated public blockchain that facilitates AML-KYC compliance and identifies criminals associated with illicit transactions while maintaining and strengthening the privacy protections for legitimate users.

The fool will recognize himself as the founder of Bitcoin. The founder of Bitcoin is the one who owns the most Bitcoins in the world, and I believe that if identity revealed their lives would turn into a disaster. Many criminals are willing to find him because of the number of Bitcoins he holds.

I think it's quite risky for the inventor to reveal himself

I think it would violate the idea of bitcoin is about decentralization. The creator of bitcoin deliberately concealed his identity to make his technology as independent as possible and not associated with anyone's name.

I agree that it is quite risky. States do not accept this currency not because the identity of the bitcoin Creator is hidden, but because they do not trust the technology. So I see no reason for the creator to reveal his secret.

Fpr me its stil a mystery on who is the founder and creator of bitcoin, many knows his name but dont know his true face or is he even a male or female to begin with. his name is japanese but is he realy japanese? as long as he is not appearing then this mystery person would be one of the mystery of the digital age

I think that hiding your name to the Creator of bitcoin is a very competent step. If the world suddenly becomes aware of this man, it will have a very great pressure, there may even be some persecution by the authorities, as the adoption of bitcoin is not all profitable. Therefore, it is better to let this story remain hidden..

I agree. I'm not trying to figure it out. I'm sure this is a great team. If they want to stay in the shadows, they can afford it.

I think the way the founder of bitcoin in person of Satoshi Nakamoto has remained anonymous is what has make bitcoin what it was today because if it wasn't, a lot of financial allegations would have be counted on him in fact he might have even been charged to court of law

I agree with that satoshi nakamoto identify could not be just reveal i feel good to be anonymous and be mystery to everybody it is not big deal to know who is satoshi nakamoto. I believe on it that satoshi nakamoto is the one of the founder here in bitcointalk forum but the important is what the gift of bitcoin had.

I think, Bitcoin is an electronic money made in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto. The name is also associated with open source software that he designed, and also uses peer-to-peer networks without centralized storage or a single administrator where the US Treasury calls bitcoin a decentralized currency.

until now I still don't know the exact founder of bitcoin bro. what is clear to me is Satoshi Nakamoto who claims to create the world of bitcoin. if in my opinion it still cannot be accepted with certainty. because Satoshi Nakamoto is a pseudonym ..

Satoshi Nakamoto is the name used by the unknown person or people who developed bitcoin. but people still don't know who it is.

The founder of bitcoin, whoever it is, individual or institutional, will not reveal his identity, as he has no advantage in unraveling this mystery

I think no need for the founder of Bitcoin to reveal itself because i think it was totally useless and it will just put his life and his family into risks, besides we don't know if this Satoshi really exist that even Japan don't recognized him that maybe the name was only an actor name that it really did not exess. Just think of Ethereum that even the exposure of Mr.Vitalik Buterin could not help with the current fall of Ethereum.

The founder of bitcoins has the right to remain anonymous. that's his right. He created a new world for us. We got the opportunity to make money. What else does he owe you?

You really think that he is alive?

Its a long time ago. And NSA knows who he is. Maybe the mossad got him.
Also it could be a Japanese person and a natural disaster.  :-\
You never know...

But as far as i know he is Number 3 here in bitcointalk

nummer 1 & 2 are missing/deleted

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3;sa=showPosts

It is fine for Satoshi for not revealing his identity because if he were to reveal his identity, it will be risky for him because there will be a lot of people that will go against him especially the government.

It is right that anyone who does great work should be commemorated but if it becomes life threatening for him ,it will useless. It is not necessary to know the name. Our good wishes and respect for the creator of bitcoin will always be there and he will receive it. Thanks Satoshi Nakamoto for your wonderful creation <3

Some people will adore him/her/them, on the other hand, will envy him, people poke holes in his credentials, the world would expect him to guide Bitcoin to world dominance.

It makes no sense for him to reveal his identity and it would not benefit the cryptocurrency world unless he has a master plan for Bitcoin.

Honestly speaking I fell there is need for us to know the brain behind this invention. Maybe his/her fears will be the insecurity threat that might be posed on his life and the lives of his loved ones and the family. Bitcoin isn't a fraud or criminal activity so I don't see the reason why the inventor will go into years of hiding and masking his identity.

The founder of bitcoin is clever and genius that he make this awesome idea. I deeply think how he create bitcoin and now becomes popular of some countries. And about his identity, I am satisfied that I know his name thats it, no more arguements.:)

I think after a while when Bitcoin is finally strengthened in its rights in many countries - Stoshi Nakamoto will be found . Even if it never existed - it will be "invented" and shown to all of us.

I feel this is not the best time for Stoshi Nakamoto  to show his identity, as we still have several issues from government relating to the legal issues about Bitcoin, I feel over the year when BTC  become a accepted and government globally are set to accept it as a global digital currency, then his Identity can be reveal in order to ave a legal backing agreement.

https://cryptoslate.com/research-bitcoin-btc-whales-not-moving-the-cryptocurrency-market/

https://ethereumworldnews.com/whales-on-the-move-somebody-just-transferred-193-million-worth-of-bitcoins-from-a-billion-dollar-wallet/

Things like this suggests many things are going behind the screen.Its very obvious that early adopters or may be satoshi nakamoto/his team are already trying to create the great impact in the present financial system.
So its really a very sensitive issue for the founder of bitcoin to come out because that may change the whole scenario and we can see many ups and downs.

The reason why satoshi did not reveal his identity is because he was afraid that he could be incarcerated for creating bitcoin, if I remember correctly close to the time when bitcoin was created there were several currencies that were centralized that were destroyed by the governments by using excuses and they put their creators behind bars, so if satoshi still alive I really think that he should never reveal his identity.

This is a huge mystery that has not been solved to this day about the existence of Satoshi Nakamoto the founder of Bitcoin. But in my opinion this is a super success in this century that is creating a Blockchain and Bitcoin technology to make it easier for everyone to transact. The existence of a bitcoin founder I prefer to always be anonymous, this shows that the founder of bitcoin really understands that he is better off hiding from the big heart.

I agree because as we know that every lives of those famous people are not slways safe because there will be threat on it. Satoshi Nakamoto made this bitcoin and unexpectedly become famous and  useful all over the world. It already helps so many people.

The founder of bitcoin I think this is not good ice to know the founder of the bitcoin .every people have a private matter if it is a private no one dares to know his/her private life his/her private I to remain anonymous to everyone . we didn't know that what will happen if he/she reveal his/her identity .

As of now the founder of bitcoin is still unknown and many people want to know who he/she is. Even Satoshi Nakamoto is still unknown many people already claim they are the creator of bitcoin. I think once Satoshi Nakamoto reveal himself it will have a good impact in bitcoin community and in bitcoin industry.

If I were the creator of Bitcoin, I will surely remain unknown. Keeping my identity will be the best thing to do. I wouldn't want the authorities to be knockin' on my door every once in a while. I wouldn't want to carry to whole crypto space on my shoulder having thousands depending on me. I wouldn't want to put my life on the line! Exposing my identity to the public will be a life sentence on me and my loved ones for sure. These "men in black" will surely find a way to get hold of me and drag me into one of their bunkers. So, do you still think it would be wise for Satoshi to reveal himself to the public?

Claims about revealing their identities as Satoschi Nakamoto is already emerged a couple of times already. But i think it's irrelevant to know who Satoshi Nakamoto is. What's my concern is that the creator should do something new to improve bitcoin and its blockchain system.

many believes in reptalians and that elvis is still alive
noone knows who creator of bitcoin is, it could be NSA, it could be group of people or one individual, who cares? its technological revolution, that matters the most

I'm not sure how true it is but apparently, a certain Australian entrepreneur named Craig Wright had claimed in 2016 that he is Satoshi Nakamoto, the founder of Bitcoin. He had even shown evidences that he launched the currency back in 2009. https://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-36185280/bitcoin-creator-reveals-his-identity
If it was indeed true, I don't think it made any difference anyway.

When the creator associated with Bitcoin discharge their Identification at the moment, might end up being in order to their drawback because federal government internationally with the global financial institution may police arrest him or her being a person developing a foreign currency with no authorization, plan as well as legislation permitting the actual development associated with this kind of foreign currency prior to this is often carried out, Personally I think this may be considered the main reason he's hibernating all of this many years.

I think it is too dangerous for Satoshi Nakamoto to reveal it's self.
I guess he/she is happy and contented with the life he/she have now,
Peaceful and quiet no media or anything to bother them including his/her family of course.

These last few months I've tried to read all the information I could about Satoshi, since his creation, bitcoin, seems to be simply amazing, and I think it will revolutionize the world, from what I've read, I think his reason for disappearing, was that the project was becoming very dependent on him, many collaborators saw him as a deity, and they didn't make any movement without his approval, so I think from their point of view, the project was centralizing, which was against their own philosophy.

Satoshi did this of course with consideration and good reasons, and not everyone can understand this mystery, but what is clear is that everything is done for the development of bitcoin itself so that it remains decentralized without the involvement of certain parties.

Yes, you do have the point on that and many people also relies on the credibility of this type of currency depending on the people or person who have founded it if he is credible enough to put their trusts on or not. But on the part of the founder, maybe his main concern is not to totally reward or credit himself on doing such thing that is why he is keep his identity to be anonymous until this point of time. Sort of, privacy is his main concern for the fact thar whenever this type of currency goes into a sudden dump or a little bit of trouble due to blames on such cases like hacks or betrayals of anonymous people fooling other for their own sake, his quiet life might be put into danger and might be mess up due to a lots of questioning by many people around the world.

I definitely agree with you. Satoshi thought of all of the possible cons and believed that in order to introduce a decentralized system, revealing his identity will not be very necessary. The unknown nature of the identity of Satoshi is the best decision made by him. His identity is not needed, people need to look at the idea behind the creation of bitcoin not the identity of the creator of the coin

If Satoshi is alive and free, he should remain hidden and safe. He can use his Bitcoins and live a wonderful life! There is no sense in making himself known to the public because it would be like suicide! The CIA, NBI, etc. will surely make their way to him once he goes public. Stay anonymous...it worked for a decade and it should work for more to come.

I think its better to still anonymous who is the founder of bitcoin for his own protection. Bitcoin now are really good digital currency and its better to keep safe for his/ her own  good.

I mean Satoshi disappearing added some "popularity" on bitcoin so I think its also one reason why its becoming a household name and even attracted a lot of media attentions. If you will search for his name in the web, you will find countless theories about the man. And just like you said, we have marched towards a decade without him, so its good if we will leave it just like that.

I think that as soon as this person reveals his identity, his life will change dramatically. And he certainly does not want to, if he used to work in a quiet atmosphere for the benefit of all mankind. Media interviews and government interventions will begin. That's not very pleasant. Plus, it seems to me that the developer is not alone - bitcoin certainly came up with a whole team of people. To do this in one person-you just need to be a genius.

surely this would greatly draw interest in Bitcoin from the media and we would see another influx of invsetors to the market. I personally think that this would have a very positive effect on the market.

from the beginning the founder of bitcoin is not give their full identity, the clue is his name is Satoshi Nakamoto, but nobody dont know about him, what is the essence of making bitcoin, what what is his main purpose

absolutely right, if someone named Satoshi Nakamoto publishes his identity with strong evidence that he is the creator of bitcoin, then I think this is actually a terrible threat to the existence of bitcoin itself
and also, all family members of Satoshi Nakamoto might be targeted by organizations planning something harmful

I don't know detail who founder bitcoin, I will lost my time if have to read background of bitcoin from who is founder of bitcoin and how much bitcoin price at the first time sale to public. I will focus on how to get profit with bitcoin or altcoin investment, I am looking for the best way for investment on bitcoin.

If the creator of bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, reveal himself to the public, the cryptocurrency market will be the first one to be affected. If that revelation turn to be positive and acceptable to the crypto community, expect a bullrun that would surpass the Decemver 2017 all-time high of the bitcoin. But what if the coming out of Nakamoto to the public produce negative effect in the market instead with bitcoin's price crashed down to pre-2017 price? The investors should always prepare if the founder of bitcoin decides to unlock himself to the public
