Why did Satoshi hide his identity? Has anyone seen Satoshi in real life?
Is Satoshi one person? Or is it a community?

the entity using the satoshi pseudonym is one person. that is established.

however satoshis idea's are a patchwork of many older concepts that alone would not work but satoshi was the brainchild of patching it all together into something that works. plus adding his own customisations and extra tweaks to it. which made it special and unique

also satoshi, worked with other people. that is established. but only the single entity used the satoshi pseudonym. all the rest helping out used their own pseudonyms.

OP, ask yourself: if you invented competition to the traditional banking and monetary system, would you like your identity to be known?

the entity using the satoshi pseudonym is one person. that is established.

Any conclusive investigations regarding if he was indeed a single entity or not?

his identity is a secret even after 8years for bitcoin usage, people still didnt able to find satoshi and i don't thing we really try to find satoshi he left bitcoin for some reason which according to him is nessacary. bitcoin is changing the way we looks into the economics of our country, people almost started using money for specified list of usage and we forget what was the true potential of money. bitcoin emmerged with hard and coplexity but it also rewards us the clearity of vision. if you are a bitcoiner then you are one of the intelligent human species who really understands things not just use it like dummy

because people have talked to him via email, on forums and IRC during 2008-2010. people have also analysed his written messages and all are saying it was one person using that pseudonym.
and yes this also means he was a sane person with no multiple personality disorders.

but like i said other people with other paeudonyms helped him develop and debug bitcoin.

Correct, which indicated he most likely is/was a single person Smiley

Satoshi is the one who laid the foundation for such a technology. For a long he was found active in the forum, and in a short he was missing and only very few knew his identity. Several years has passed and as none is sure of the identity, people used to mention top developers as Satoshi.

There could be a lot of reasons why he never revealed his identity, there is a philosophy of which I don't remember the name that states that you must benefit mankind without looking for personal recognition or financial gain, maybe satoshi was a follower of that philosophy.

Not only that, presumabely the first reason for him to hide is identity is because he is holding a big amount of coins, and without privacy everyone would seek him to kill him and steal his funds, his life would be at danger

This do not prove that he was alone, there could be other that were helping it, but he was just the central authority of the group of coders/designer?

All knows that he is the creator of bitcoin but he had kept himself hidden from the world may be because if any of the reason.

May be he have fear of getting arrest for developing such technology
May be he will be targeted by terrorists or evil guys and could demand money
May be he is trying to show us surprise before his death
He might be death(which  I don't want to happen) etc etc

one of the people who fought important in the development of bitcoin is satoshi, in fact, it can be said that satoshi is the father of bitcoin. if bitcoin does not hide himself, maybe he thought that he could damage the balance bitcoin, and maybe if satoshi disappear, then the bitcoin balance can be maintained. but I am sure, though satoshi disappeared, she can control the bitcoin from behind the screen.

Someone who wouldn't want Bitcoin to be developed would find him first... But yes, that's a reasonable hypothesis too.

This do not prove that he was alone, there could be other that were helping it, but he was just the central authority of the group of coders/designer?

My point, exactly...

If i was this guy i would do the same and not telling my identity. The bitcoin surely attracts some haters, and when it's about money people are ready to do anything to protect their bread. Including gov., lobby, organizations, ect. We have thousands of exemple already
On top of that, i don't see how it could be important or what it could make bitcoin different

Hon'ble Mr. Satoshi is the creator of blockchain algorithm and the bitcoin which has changed the course of internet payment system. I truly want he lives a great life and away from all the worries. If he revels himself, all the enforcement agencies will be after him for making minable money. Because government don't want the money to be distributed freely to their people.

So I want him to remain hidden and have a peaceful life.

the bitcoin system requires many different field expertise. it would be funny to expect a single person to be an expert in so many different areas.
to me, satoshi comprise from people with different areas of expertise.

I believe he has his reason to hide his identity and he could be the only one to answer the real reason why he is in hiding any other thing we might say or write will only be some guessing. For me, I think its better that way because if someone had produce something that is "ANONYMOUS" how are we suppose to believe that if he is just around for us to see couple with the popularity that the project has been able to amass over the years...

Why did Satoshi hide his identity? Has anyone seen Satoshi in real life?
Is Satoshi one person? Or is it a community?


Couple of Secret Gov organizations teamed up to pretend to be Satoshi.
That is why they can't find the guy , it is not a single person.

Example the BTC Genesis Block was not created on a single standard PC.

Satoshi has over ~1.5 Million BTC that not even 1 has been sold, that is a lot of money for 1 person to refrain from accessing.

Plus even when his creation is being split in 2 by the bickering of the BTC community , he remains silent.

 Cool

I am sure that nobody knew his identity not even Gavin Andresen.There is thing called privacy and he really wanted that and so is the reason he hid his identity and he really wanted the focus to be on the coin rather than speculating about the genious of the inventor and he might have thought that mystery would certainly hype his invention .
