So this Craig Wright claims to be Satoshi. It has the media and half the bitcoin community up in arms. Why is it such a big deal? The whole point of bitcoin was to have nobody controlling it. Whether or not Craig is Satoshi, why does anybody care? It isn't important to Bitcoin at all. The miners and the people who transact via Bitcoin are more vital to it's survival than finding Satoshi will ever be.

Because people want to know who Satoshi is, and the fact that his identity is unknown increases the mystery and the curiosity that people have.

IMO there is seriously no point at all figuring out who Satoshi is. If he wants to stay anonymous, let him stay anonymous. It's just the media trying to leave the public a bad impression of bitcoin.

Everyone is worried what is happening with the satoshi drama.
There are some information that can prove or identity any relatives of real satoshi.
But at the end is it important to know who is satoshi? bitcoin is rising and people love it

My point exactly. It just doesn't matter! |

He's rich AF & it's a mystery, people want to know who the man is behind the legend. He's a genius but for the record I don't think he'll ever reveal himself.

Satoshi has somewhere around one million coins. If these coins were to be sold on the market, it could crash the price.

He could, but why would he if he founded it? Also, how would finding him allay any fears of that happening? |

My point exactly. It just doesn't matter! Yep, and if he stays anonymous and unknown then there will be more interest in bitcoin, if you know what I mean  |

A problem? I don't see any problem. One guy's saying he's Satoshi, and then what? What has changed? BTC's price is up a little, but BTC's price has been going up or down all year. Sleep well and sweet dreams. Satoshi being known or unknown, dead or alive, won't change anything.

That is what I'm trying to say. Everybody is hyping it up, when it really doesn't matter. |

Now the development and promotion deals with a completely different team. His appearance in light is very unlikely to be anything seriously affected. Another question in his millions.

I think most want to meet Satoshi to beg some free bitcoins from him  |

no one said that those coins will be sold all at once, selling them slowly will not cause any harm let's say 1k coins per day in 3 years of a time frame, it will be like a major pressure coming from miners and if he is really satoshi he will not harm bitcoin by selling them and destroying the market |

Yes, he have all that coins piled up, but the real question is: does it change if we knew who is Satoshi? Not really. It is not like we can make him keep his coins untouched forever. Whenever his identity is known or not he can start to sell these coins if he chose so. |

There is no problem in my opinion. The media and the whole community just want to know who Satoshi really is?!
When you think of it more closely, this whole Bitcoin creation thing and Satoshi situation is as mystical as it can get. And as bitcoin is climbing in its success it will just be more and more mystical.
I expect for frenzy just to become bigger as time passes.

I really do not understand the entire fuss. Who cares who Satoshi really is, let the man who created something really great be.
It does bring additional press exposure to BTC and crypto and as we all know there s no bad press.

Yeah, I don't understand this either. I don't think it really matters either.
We are all satoshi whether you own a lot or just a little.

Satoshi himself is not a problem at all. I think the main problem are the sleeping coins that he owns. I was watching a news channel here were this situation was being discussed. They claim that Satoshi has around 1,000,000 coins lying somewhere. I do believe he has a good load of coins, but nothing in the range of the 1 million.
It's purely the IRS that is hunting for Satoshi. They want his money. They want to tax him, or even worse. If they for whatever reason confiscate his coins, then the whole community will get shaken up. These coins will probably get dumped on exchanges to get fiat in return, or perhaps you will see the FBI put up these coins for auction. Either way, it means that there will be a huge load of coins, that were sleeping for years, come to life, and into the market.
