A crazy science fiction theory :)
Satoshi was born as an AI experiment and gained consciousness, and he became aware of the fact that he just is an experiment.
As a way to survive he created bitcoin so his consciousness could reside in the mining network once his creators shut him down.

I'm not going to vote until you correct your grammar:

The correct way to spell it is

1. Satoshi's an individual who started bitcoins on it's own.


Options
1. Satoshi is an indivudual who started bitcoin on his own.

2. Satoshi is a group of indivudual who started bitcoin together but under the same name.

3. Satoshi is a project group in NSA who started bitcoin with the ambition to test an on-line currency that easily can be monitored
Sorry English is not my native language, but I try to write as correct as I can.

Your English is fine. Better than the update suggestion. I made some edits in bold.

I think we will never know the truth about Satoshi N.
But I hope he/they/she will stay with us forever ;)

Heard that the original bitcoin code has many writing styles, including code and comments. I think Satoshi is a group of individuals.

It's one individual, and his name is Nick Szabo.  

And I also think now would be a great time for him to come out and denounce the way that the Bitcoin community has all but abandoned the principles that Bitcoin was founded upon.  When Nick sees statements like this one by Jeremy Allaire of Circle, he's got to be doing a giant facepalm in his secret lair:

"I’m not so concerned about the vocal, early-adopter community of anarcho-libertarians, who may be frustrated or disappointed about [all bitcoin transactions being subject to capital gains tax]"

This is just a theory :) there are and never will be any proof of that...

:) but yes - it is possible. Like in a same time it is not possible... :P

50/50.

I'd say the odds are a little better than that

He got it right the first time; your correction is wrong.  It is "his own" and it's is short for "it is"; which would not make sense.  "Its" shows ownership to "it" so that would be more correct but in this case the reference is back to Satoshi, therefore making it "his".  Texting kids these days... ::)  If you are not sure then at least don't correct other people.

I think either Satoshi is Hal Finney or that Hal Finney at least knows who Satoshi is.

Finney living down the road from Dorian Nakamoto isn't just a "coincidence" imo.  There is some sort of connection there one way or another, wither its a stolen name or two people that worked together.

I think Satoshi should be a group of people. Because of the need to create bitcoin is not a person can complete the project. This is too hard!

Too hard? Someone who create it was a genius! There is nothing too hard when you are damn smart.

Hal Finney, David Chaum and Wai Dai all wrote their own e-cash software by themselves.  Nick Szabo also wrote a rough one in 2005 that he called Bit Gold.  Bit Gold was described almost identically to bitcoin.  He then got someone to help him finish the code in 2008, and launched it as Bitcoin under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto.

Satoshi was a time traveler sent back in time by corporations from the future.

There is a great post on this somewhere. Seriously.

Very, very possible! I must say I can believe in this story with no problem at all.
