What is the effect of knowing Satoshi on bitcoin price?

[deisik]

It will have negative effect if the Satoshi does something "wrong" in the real life. People will link him to bitcoin.

I disagree with this. Satoshi is a human being and like all human being he's not perfect so he may make mistakes, may say wrong things etc. This human actions, whatever bad they might be, can't make an impact on such a great thing like Bitcoin. People will use Bitcoin regardless of whether Satoshi is a good person or not.

Would things remain the same if he is proven to be a pedophile serial killer? Would you still want to have anything to do with Bitcoin?

First of all I don't believe that the Australian Professor is Satoshi.. this is 98% a fake news for me. Satoshi was an Asian. but if we believe that. it won't affect the price of bitcoin. so bitcoin traders. investors and buyers should not worry about it.

[Doms]

It wouldn't matter much. The technology is already there and BTC is making a name for itself as well. Whatever happens to the real satoshi, or if he dies, BTC lives on. Prices might swing from time to time but that's just what it normally does anyway.

I just know if craig wright is a businessman. I thought he was just looking for popularity and look for opportunities of all this to gain an advantage for his business? it's just my thoughts and idea only . all the secret is in satoshi Nakamoto itself?

[MyBTT]

There would be no effect to the Bitcoin price if we found out who Satoshi really was. It is an open source so he really couldn't do anything to Bitcoin.

[phreaky]

It is not going to change that much people know just know who the guy is and nothing more. Everything else is going to be the same and will stay the same.
It was a good thing because he came on the news and that made people notice him.

Yeah what does it matter who is the creator of Bitcoin it does not matter to em at all. Unless the guys is not going to change anything to Bitcoin the revealing is going to have no impact.

What's matters most now is that bitcoin is becoming more stable and the value appreciate. Because of the mystery of the creator that is why bitcoins becomes more popular, whoever is the real creator we just have to be thankful he created a thing that gives us profit.

[Indrawan77]

It doesnt matter eventhough we know the creator it wont change the bitcoin price, but bitcoin will develop better if we know the creator

I don't think I even saw the Bitcoin price move when Craig Wright went public with his claim of being the real Satoshi Nakamoto. And I don't think it ever changed when the news broke that Craig had been  lying to us all that time so I think the price of Bitcoin wasn't affected by who Satoshi might be. To be honest I think the Bitcoin price did a slight jump when Valve announced their plan to accept Bitcoin on the Steam store.

[Raimonn]

I don't see any important effect on bitcoin price, another thing would be if Satoshi (i'm not sure if really Craig was satoshi) says that he will sell its bitcoins, this would have effects on price.

[jtipt]

I saw in the news that Satoshi Nakamoto has been identified, it seems that it is the Australian Professor, what are effects of this news on bitcoin price. The title of the news is: "Australian professor Craig Wright reveals himself to be Bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto".

Firstly there is no proof that the guy is telling truth and I don't think it's affecting price at all btc is stable at 450 +- 2~3 which is common.

[expert4knowledge]

nothing except hype, and hype can only change the price in a very small amount comparing with the past. and the direction of this change only depends on which way the hype is aiming, if it is a positive hype it can increase the price and if it is negative it can push the price down a little.

but it would be a small change because the market is so much bigger than before and it is not being affected by these hypes that much.

Yes, it seems the effect is small since he was found and there was not much reaction to the news of revealing real satoshi identity.

[knowhow]

Well for bitcoin in general as long he is a normal person wont make anything at bitcoin,but we dont know who made and created it,besides Satoshi Nakamoto,soo thats enought atleast for me it is.I hope he or her or they dont show off now that bitcoin is going well they can damage themselfes.

[BeGoods]

It wouldn't matter much. The technology is already there and BTC is making a name for itself as well. Whatever happens to the real satoshi, or if he dies, BTC lives on. Prices might swing from time to time but that's just what it normally does anyway.

yeah agree or not that bitcoin life and become popular now is not of major brands of satoshi Nakamoto? satoshi precisely Nakamoto became famous and rich because bitcoin?
for the moment the news of satoshi Nakamoto has not had any effect. unless he is already moving. maybe will change the price of bitcoin.

Completely no effect because people have confidently been using bitcoins for a long time already and they don't have any problem using it in daily transactions. The code are open source where can be audited anytime of the day by experts all around the world.

I don't think there will be completely no effect. There'll be some effect because the price of bitcoin is affected greatly by the PR around it. If it makes people want to buy into it, then the price goes up simply because of demand. The effect probably won't be something crazy, but there will be some effect.

As to the effect to Bitcoin itself, you're right. Completely no effect.

This is also a question on my mind. Why people are keep on finding the real identity of Satoshi. Is there really an impact to the price if the idendity of the founder revealed? If none such a waste of time finding who he really is for me. IMO just keep on earning rather than finding person that chooses to be anonymous.

Well, that would be important to know the real Satoshi, the creator of bitcoin... as for the price, I think it will affect the price, we don't know, but I think it will be going up if the real satoshi would came out..But if he can't prove himself as the real Satoshi, then it's a different story, and it all depends upon his plans for bitcoin when he goes out of hiding...

nope i think craig wright has proven that he is a real satoshi Nakamoto. you can see the reason in google and many old bitcoin users also admit it.
but the effect of craigh wright that I thought did not give any influence to bitcoin until now. I do not feel it ?

[Hirose UK]

I don't think it's affecting the price much at all, and it doesn't seem like it should.  It doesn't affect how bitcoin currently functions, does it? 

knowing bitcoin founder's identity is not affecting the price at all. imo
it just affects bitcoin users. they will see what Craig's doing, or what his plans are.
