Banks and old school types aren't going to 'take him out'. It's out of his hands anyway. Everyone knows who developed bittorrent and nothing's been done to them. I think it's simply for the sake of a quiet life. Life is a whole lot more manageable when you're just another nobody.
Yes but banks count not care about bittorrent less. However bitcoin is a direct threat and a very big one against their monopolistic cartel over the monetary supply.
And for that they could take him out, i mean they did that with the CEO of that first bitcoin exchange.
Young woman with bright career and kids , suicided herself accidentally with a little help from a 3 letter agency. Pretty obvious to me that these banksters don't play around, the are very serious about it.
However since satoshi gave out the protocol and the blueprint already, taking him out after would only expose their criminal nasty asses.
They'd had to take him out before he exposed his project , not after it. So if satoshi would reveal himself now, they could probably put some bogus charges on him for counterfeiting or blablabla, but i dont think they would.
So i think satoshi can now easily reveal himself, because the dice has already been cast a few years ago, now we need a strong philosophical leader to push bitcoin onto the world.
