[2017-10-27] Bitcoin’s origin remains a mystery. Here's why it matters!

Does it really matter as much as people think it matters?

I mean sure it would mean that we have a central figurehead that will probably solve a lot of the "satoshi would have" debates but it'll just mean a more centralized version of bitcoin which i don't think many people here like.

Plus, network is running smooth without anything from satoshi.

For me if only Satoshi Nakamoto is a well-known personality then its matters but if he is an ordinary citizen with great mind, I don’t think there is an impact to it. The price will be greatly boost high if he is like Bill Gates or many othe like him because of its influence in the world. But if not it will be a suicidal attempt for him, the CIA will investigate him and all concern financial enthusiast will look for anything bad on his life that they can use to stop bitcoin.

Not just them but any regular joe could potentially pry into his/her private life. He needs a decentralized exchange to convert to ZCASH and start funneling the money underground.

I will never believe that Satoshi Nakamoto is one person. Such a global project is not under force to one person. It is possible that the concept of cryptocurrency was invented by one person, but to implement and Finance such a project can only be a group of programmers with a very large support of the financial magnates. That's why the whales managed to buy up all the coins before their price increase.

If ever the time comes that Bitcoins' inventor will come to a revelation, it will definitely affect the world market especially those who have heavily invested in Bitcoins. Imagine how Bitcoin was able to stand through the years without it having regulated but still enables people to earn more and more because of this. I cannot imagine how this will substantially affect people like myself since I admittedly rely on it for my hard earned money. Good or bad, I am more concerned about it coming to open. While it matters to know what prompted Bitcoins' humble beginnings, I would rather consider it a case closed to protect my investments.
