Voted for 'No', the identity is not important, I hope it is never found who was the person behind it, the technology is much more important then the face behind it. Moreover, if he is found, the speculations behind that he might dump his coins would affect the price. So it is for the best he stays anonymous always.

He had the option of staying anonymous - and used it, and it turned out to be great. That's what we should do when it's possible and the opposite has no pros good enough to overweigh the cons.

it doesn't matter at all, actually i think the fact that the creator of bitcoin (satoshi nakamoto) is just an alias, or in other words an anonymous identity makes it more exciting because one of the features of bitcoin is this exact anonymity that can be achieved if anybody likes.

Weak hands have been complaining about missing out ever since bitcoin was $1 and never buy the dip.
Whales are those who keep buying the dip.

Beyond the fact that the founder has 5% of all of Bitcoins in existence in his possession (in which case it doesn't really matter WHO has them, just that there is too high a concentration of the currency in one place), what difference does it make who created Bitcoin?

This article argues that all of the recent coverage creates an air of uncertainty that could undermine confidence in the currency (and highlights uncertainty in currency markets in general, but I'm not sure I agree: http://freemarketfx.com/bitcoin-reminder-uncertainty-currency-markets/

Thoughts?
for me,its important thing to find out who is Satoshi Nakamoto,its matter for me because people who dont know bitcoin will ask to me about bitcoin creator,they will not accept bitcoin if they dont know about bitcoin founder and its not clear if we only mentioning about Satoshi Nakamoto without knowing his story.

I've been using fiat all my life and I never bothered searching who invented it. I'm not even sure if it was even discussed to us as students back in our Economics classes. Either that or I was not paying attention. My point is not everything that we use must be deeply understood to its deepest senses. Enough knowledge on how to use something to my advantage is good enough for me.

In my opinion, it does not matter who is the creator of Bitcoin. Bitcoin now it is an independent and decentralized currency that gradually develops, and which do not need a host .. And no one can do anything with it, I mean control.

That is what I think. The bitcoin has evolved a lot from the Satoshi days. Even if he does appear, I will treat him the same as other developers.

People say it doesn't but when the creator of bitcoin hold's at least 5.5% of it's marketable supply, it's a big deal. Those coins are crossed out for a long time, if he returns the market could crash.

No it don't need to matter if we find out who created it. If he wanted that everybody knows
who he is he would say it along time ago. He think he my coin is getting popular and he wants
in the picture now.

Honestly no! I don't want him to be found ever. because I want him to live a peaceful life.

Once he is found, all the regulators and enforcement agencies of that country will be after his ass and he will spend his life in prison.

So I want this path braking inventor to stay safe for the rest of his life.

The person who created needs to be given the importance, at the same spending time in search of the person is waste. Its better to spend those time on bitcoin for it's further development.

No it doesn't matter to me who the real person behind the alias of Satoshi Nakamoto is. If we knew his/her identity would it have improved our lives or the Bitcoin network? No I don't think so. Knowing who is behind the mask won't affect our community in any way. I prefer to stay neutral to all attempts at sensational news of the next Satoshi Nakamoto and try to focus on how the Bitcoin market is doing. Ignorance is bliss sometimes.

I honestly do not care about it at all because the fact is that its here and I"m happy with it as its right now.
The bitcoin will get bigger and the creator (who made it) is not the most important thing right now...

It does matter who has created a currency, especially when the user doesn't want to reveal himself. Many people here were curious about Satoshi including me and we would like to hear on what improvements he has planned for the currency. When he himself doesn't show much interest in sharing any news articles/information with us, it makes me least interested then, especially with the FUD spread lately. It doesn't matter how much he does own though.

I don't really care too much about who created Bitcoin, but it might be interesting to see the full story behind it.
Would it really change something?

How we perceive bitcoin does not matter in the grand scheme. The public thinks they need to know before it is seen as legit. If you think of bitcoin in the same context as say facebook , people would not suppport it to the same extent not knowing Zuckerburg was at the helm.

The linked story is total crap and not worth the time. The Bitcoin creator is very important.... Let's take this example: You need a babysitter for your kids { In this case, the money represents your

kids } Let's say Satoshi does come back and he becomes Lead developer... then he will be the babysitter of the kids. If the babysitter is a pedophile or a murderer or a kidnapper.. then your kids will

be in danger ...right? Well... the same goes for the babysitter of the money. Yes, Bitcoin are decentralized and you need consensus... but Satoshi will have a big influence in people's decisions, once

he is back in control of development.  Roll Eyes

it doesn't matter at all, although it would have been nice to know who has created bitcoin in the first place but that would have been good back then in the beginning not now.

No, it doesn't really matter.
What would matter, is the 1M Bitcoins that they own.

For me, it wouldn't matter who has created bitcoins but I want to know what's in next. I just would like to know his real name like we know who invented telephones (Graham Bell), Newton introduced gravity and so on.
They have at least given us an invention that has been useful to us.
