But what are the implications for Bitcoin? For a start we are made aware that he is alive, and has access to a large amount of BTC. |

People would start complaining about everything he does, just like they do with Gavin, etc.

Some users here have BTC holdings amounting to 'a lot', but we're doing fine as ever. There's no reason to believe that he will implicate BTC in a negative way at all, especially when the project is open source and decentralized. But we'll get more complaints anyway. This is the nature of humans. |

No one really knows for sure how much BTC pirate has. Can anyone provide proof that he had 500k btc? Im guessing that he may have around 10k or so. |

What do you think would happen if Satoshi popped on the forum one day and said hi?
What if he started to contribute again?
Or even if he revealed his true identity and traveled the world doing TV interviews and such? (unlikely)
WE WOULD SAY: Satoshi - THANK YOU!!!And BTW. please don't do it  Do not reveal your identity. People love mysteries |

Sooner or later some tv host would introduce him as the "Mark Zuckerberg" of Bitcoin, and that'll be the day he dies out of sheer embarrassment. |
Yeah, well, I'm gonna go build my own blockchain. With blackjack and hookers! In fact forget the blockchain.

I hope if Satoshi returns he don't screw something up. Like making hard forks or rule changes. Under normal circumstances these changes will be rejected by most people, but if Satoshi proposes them they might succeed. Probably this is why he never revealed his identity and decided to abandon Satoshi persona. So he cannot be forced to do things against his will to damage Bitcoin or someone trying to give him more attention than he wants. It is very likely he is still here under nick of theymos or Luke-Jr.

Satoshi is a human. Humans have flaws. His flaws would be exploited and tied to Bitcoin.
Ron Paul had a good idea to take the country back to the Constitution and promote liberty. They went after a hiring decision from the 90s for his newsletter to discredit him, and with it his principles.

He's still here, somebody that involved would not be able to resist checking in and at least looking on the forum if not contributing under a different name.
Anyway I hope he's safe and doing well

I hate to say it but I agree. Jimbo Wales at Wikipedia is a good example of what happens when the founder sticks around too long and becomes a cult figure, people either worship him or loathe him and jump on anything he says. Better for the leader to disappear and hand off the operations to subordinates, more-so if he starts out pseudo-anonymous and decides to keep his anonymity. That being said, my money is on Satoshi actually being Elizabeth II of England, using the ruse of being Queen of England as a clever ruse to disguise that she's actually a clever technocrat aiming to remake society with those who have great technical knowledge (technocrats) having ultimate power. |
