[POLL] Does it really matter who Satoshi is?

[Jeremycoin]

It doesn't bother me that we don't know his true identity, it's upto him if he wants to remain anonymous.
He deserves anonymity, it's at his discretion.
We don't really need to know who he really is, it wouldn't benefit us at all to know.
Plus I kind of like the mystery around it, it's kinda cool.
The guy deserves to be left alone.

Yeah that's make sense, he even made a Cryptocurreny that totally anonymous. Then why should we (the users) know who is he, we all are anonymous Bitcoin user

He could be threatened by people demanding ransoms too.
The guy has an absolutely insane amount of coins, probably in cold storage, people could kidnap his family members, threaten him.
He'd need security like an A list celeb, by revealing himself he wouldn't be able to live a normal life.
I don't blame him for wanting to be anonymous at all.

It is absolutely very much important for everyone to know who Satoshi is... I know he made Bitcoin to let everyone remain anonymous, but who doesn't want to know such an innovative face behind an awesome technology???

Satoshi himself is the existent of Bitcoins, so as Bitcoins has a symbol, Satoshi must also be possessing a face which everyone would like to see...

LOL!
Sorry to say this but:

What would you think if someone tried to sell you something that keeps you anonymous and they are not anonymous?
So, being anonymous obviously helps with the promotion, right? 

It does, but as said, it was Satoshi who created BTC and BTC has a face now, but Satoshi doesn't...
He just gave it as a gift and left everyone, which is why everyone out there is eager to know who that great personality is...

[bornil267645]

I don't think people should waste their time something mythical. Bitcoin community have so many trouble as it is. Last thing they need is making crazy theories when they should be trying to make the community bigger and better.

With that amount of coins, no security is trustworthy unless it's cyborgs.
If his security is human then greed will take it's course....

True, very true.
It's the mystery that attracts everyones attention.
Which kind of also makes it a good marketing tool.

If you knew who Satoshi was, you might not be interested in Bitcoin that much for various reasons.

[okae]

to tell you the truth i will never care about who is satoshi, because in the end ( at least for me ) the face behind bitcoin is irrelevant, will not change nothing if i see that satoshi is a girl  or is from china or whatever you want to imagine, te important thing is the bitcoin.

so i vote for NO, i dont care who is behind it

OK, so it wouldn't matter to you if Satoshi was a pedophile, a rapist, a thief and/or a mass murderer?
I am not saying he is, I am just saying that he could be and we will probably never know.

[khawaja07]

yes !!
offcrc it matters me or bothers me..
i wanna know that man who just created this revolution !!!

Most A-list celebrities or other millionaire entrepreneurs don't have security or get threats or whatever so I don't understand why satoshi would suddenly be a target. He probably just values his anonymity like many of us do on here already. Maybe he wasn't sure of the possible legal ramifications of creating such a currency either.

[Amph]

Yes, I think Satoshi is not a person. Satoshi is a group with have superior brains and i want to meet with them.

This is a list of my favorite people.

1. Albert Einstein
2. Nikola Tesla
3. Satoshi Nakamoto

Nice list you got there.
And obviously it is people you cannot and will not ever meet with (with the exemption of Satoshi who is still with the living as far as we know, but still probably impossible).

at least the others two have a face, satoshi is completely unknown

now that i think about it, satoshi was using a proxy when he was writing here? otherwise we could know from where he was typing

Why would it? It doesn't discredit his idea in any way, but maybe this is why it's a good reason he stays anon so bitcoin is kept separate from any drama or criticisms that may arise.

yes !!
offcrc it matters me or bothers me..

But why would it matter? It's just a name and would your life be better of if you knew it? It would probably be a disappointment anywhere and ruins the whole mystery or enigma of him.

Agreed, but there were many people either who tried to grab the attention by saying they were Satoshi or they were given that name by some other popular names who thought that these might be the ones behind... No one really knows who Satoshi is...

I think he will himself come ahead one day and show his face in public... I think Satoshi's anonymity might be because if he comes out, it might be a threat to his life as many enemies are also waiting for him to get out of this industry...

[Falconer]

Actually I don't care who Satoshi is
But I became interested when people always try to expose his/her identity
I mean, this is look like a detective story, who tell us so many the suspects everyday 
But, whoever you Satoshi, you da real mpv

Yeah, but most A-list celebrities don't own a little under 10% of what is expected to become a global currency

I know what you are trying to say.
It's just that most people (if not all) are curious to know.

It's not about discrediting his idea.
It's more about the thought of how all that 1M+ coins would be used if that were the case.

That is because he himself became an enemy.
An enemy of the state.
he totally messed things up for the Federal Reserve 

[neoneros]

It is his ideas that matter, the result of his work. It does not matter who he/she or they is or are. It would be nice to know and to know for sure. But just like a lot of things it does not matter who thought of it, it is nice to be appreciated. It is nice to be inspired by Satoshi, or any other person, Tesla, Bell, Edison, Arthur, Jesus. But does it really matter? It is the stories and the results that count today and in the future when the person in question is long gone!
