The reasons for Satoshi's anonymity?

[BitBustah]

The US government already sent the other guy to prison that tried to make his own gold backed currency.  If Satoshi was public from the start he would of certainly ended up in jail for trying to counter fiat money.  I'm just assuming he lives in the United States since that is what most people believe.

[Silberman]

Well I can't really tell if the above assumptions are true or false but one thing I know for sure is that with the current happenings in the world, I think it is better to stay anonymous if you are doing something worthwhile, it seems people don't like good revolution.

With his invention satoshi was going to affect the governments and the banks which are incredibly powerful so if was him I would have done the same, if they knew his identity it is likely he will be already in jail but thanks to all the precautions he took it seems we will never know his identity unless he reveals that by himself but I will not count on that.

You forgot to add another possibility for his anonymity and that is him being dead or murdered or whatever it is.
What if he turned sick and wanted to spend his last days in solitary or with his family ?
What if someone big and dangerous came to know about his creation and murdered him so that he could not proceed with his plan ?
May be there might be another reason for him being dead 

All are possible the reason why Satoshi is still unknown, maybe he owns a lot and he can’t afford to out in the public for the security purposes. If satoshi came out, for sure it can hype the market again and maybe bitcoin can gain more trust from the public since people already know Satoshi. I hope for the good health of Satoshi, i know he’s still alive.

[Oceat]

It is simple and clear, our government do not associate nor support anything that benefits the masses so they'd definitely go after satoshi so I think that's the more reason for the anonymity

And i was thinking this too since the government really don't like "smart ass kiddo" and they always take control of everything. If someone knows Satoshi then my best guess is that they were all a group of geniuses who worked together to make a decentralized digital currency a.k.a. Bitcoin. I just don't know the real reason why Satoshi left the forum before Bitcoin has a price already.

If he's able to live now and tell us more about Bitcoin, i don't know what could be the price today.

Satoshi is just trying to protect his self from this kind of pressure from the government. It is good for him to be unknown than to face the problem of many insecure people to him. This is probably the best invention he ever had, I know he’s more than safe now as a billionaire.

satoshi may remain anonymous
but one thing is for certain, you can rule out anyone claiming to be satoshi while not posting here under his user or validating a message using one of his addresses

also, just becomes someone worked or communicated with satoshi, does not mean that they know his identity

I'd like to point out as well that satoshi is 1 person and not some group like sometimes mentioned.

Satoshi is waiting for the peak of Bitcoin before appearing because he wants to look like a god blessing, everyone. Especially if he shows up, do you think terrorist groups will kidnap him to steal all of Bitcoin?

[BurgerCash]

He disappeared when Gavin talked to the CIA about bitcoin - which should give you a hint as to why he would like to stay anonymous. His riches make him a target, too.

Death from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis...

... or a Lawsuit in Australia...


I let you google that.

Most likely, but even if he is not target for a possible illegal offense, his money has significant increase right now and once a person is rich as hell, he will be vulnerable to the bad guys. With his holding now, I think he is the riches in the crypto. ( please correct if my understanding is wrong)

[tbossmitche]

I am of the opinion that the second scenario seems the most likely. The so called Satoshi Nakamoto will most likely have a huge stash of Bitcoin and would not want to call unnecessary attention to himself when he can surely enjoy in riches away from the limelight. If he were to reveal himself, he would most likely be a target for several anticorruption bodies who would hardly believe he came up with the technology for honest reasons. How about the possibility that the mysterious founder of blockchain technology is dead, we just might never know the truth about it all.

Maybe there are reasons why Satoshi may wish to remain anonymous.Satoshi may simply want bitcoin to make it mark on it's own name and enjoy it's wealth. Also Satoshi wish to remain anonymous for it's own sake and safety. Because if Satoshi is not anonymous,it's most likely become a target of bad person because of it's wealth.

People have never liked revolutions they have always been forced in some way, look at the revolution that computers brought to the world, there were many people that resisted those chances and instead of adapting they blamed computers for their problems, something like that will happen to bitcoin as well but as long as we keep pushing forward they will have no option but to accept that things will change.

If he lives in the United States why does he get a nickname in Japanese? I believe he is Japanese and not a US person. Or maybe he is an otaku who likes famous manganese, so he takes the name Satoshi.

[Nolimitz84]

Why such topics are created right now, when bitcoin has some value.Why weren't you interested in Satoshi's anonymity before?Of course nothing can be ruled out,but it seems to me that Satoshi Nakamoto is just a fictional name.Behind the creation of bitcoin is a group of specialists who really work anonymously.I'm sure they don't even know each other in person.But their goals are transparent.

[OuterHeaven_]

I think he likes being unknown points to the fact that he's just trying to live life to the fullest without looking back even though he's recognized by millions creating a currency that could potentially change the future if it already hasn't.

That's right, if Satoshi Nakamoto gives his identity and many people know who the mastermind behind the founder of Bitcoin, it seems that it will only make the price of bitcoin easy to manipulate and certainly Satoshi Nakamoto's life will not calm down, it is better to remain anonymous and leave nothing who knows who is actually satoshi nakamoto.

[traderethereum]

We don't know what his reason to stay anonymous, but for me, if we are connected with internet, I think it's better to stay anonymous because the internet is too dangerous for us to reveal our identity to the public. We don't know what they want with our identity, so I will be as Satoshi to stay anonymous. Besides that, Satoshi works on many projects (I believe that he did something with other things, so he needs to stay anonymous). It is our job to protect ourselves from anything because this is our life.

bitcoin is already maniputable and it will be the same even if satoshi reveal himself but i agree that his life couldnt be calm down because he might be recieving threats .  

Why such topics are created right now, when bitcoin has some value.Why weren't you interested in Satoshi's anonymity before?

this topic isnt new .  it is already been discussed for a few times before when bitcoin is not yet popular  . its normal because people are also curious about the real identity of satoshi nakamoto  .

but it seems to me that Satoshi Nakamoto is just a fictional name

we dont confirm it yet . some says it is a code name of popular brands today . some says satoshi is a group of people  .
