Who is Satoshi? Why did he hide his identity?

[pooya87]

it is very simple satoshi is the biggest proof of bitcoin anonymity.

we all know bitcoin is not completely anonymous but this shows us that if you want, you can reach a level to be completely anonymous when using bitcoin.

[Gleb Gamow]

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

Satoshi could be a cucumber.

And because nobody else has the balls to say it, I will. You're a motherfuckin' asshole! By your post history it's clearly obvious that you start threads with this newbie account so to have a thread to reply to with your other accounts participating in sig campaigns.

The basic questions you asked above could've easily been found via Google by a second grader, but here you are asking them in spite of knowing which way is up in this space according to your post history.

TBC, in case you missed it because you may be as dense as a rock, GO FUCK YOURSELF!

PS: Does anybody know what a blockchain is?

EDIT:

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.

I used to think that too until Wright came along.  Unless Wright is a fake.

And where do you get 1.5 million Bitcoins from?  That number keeps growing.  The highest I've heard is 1.1 million, which is enough to crash Bitcoin if Satoshi ever decides to dump it all.

Vlad's back on my radar.

You figured out who Satoshi is?  So who is it, Wright or me? 

[Windpower]

One of the points of Bitcoin is to be anonymous. Why would the creator go against this? There are a lot of reasons that Satoshi doesn't want to reveal himself. A lot of people dislike having so much attention on them, maybe he is that kind of person. But the main reason is probably that he is scared for his life. He could get arrested, or someone could take him as a hostage and demand his coins. At worst, he could get killed. I doubt that he will ever reveal himself, he is very smart and I doubt he will change and show everyone who he is.

You misunderstood the intent of my humor, bud. I was alluding to you being on my radar as being the OP given that have a sig resembling participating in a sig campaign in re the discontent expressed, not truly believing that you and the OP are one and the same. <damn Romanians! you have to explain everything to them>

There's a lot of reason why he hide his identity maybe because may affect his self or get an issue by government in his legality by making that but its not really the reason. Maybe anyone could see him already buy doesn't he is satoshi.  And for me Satoshi is a person but he has a people for making research paper called bitcoin.

I don't know who Satoshi is or what community he represents but if he hid his identity then he did that for a good course perhaps to create the tension around Bitcoin in order to promote its popularity and usage all over the world. It's really strange his identity is yet unknown knowing he has so much coins available in his wallet and that's the spark that draws people to bitcoins.

Haha.  I can be a bit slow at times.  I'm not the OP - I already know who Satoshi is.  

[boybugs18]

It is better for satoshi to not reveal his identity if that "Craig Wright" is fake as he can do whatever he can to his stacked bitcoins and use it on his real life spending people will go to him and probably ruin his life because many will extort or the bad thing is he can be killed for that as some people are not into bitcoin and they hated it.

[danherbias07]

He might be the shy type person. Unlike Ironman he didnt tell who he is just for fame or whatever reason and maybe he is here now just lurking in the shadows.
That is a good move though leaving what you left as questionable and so no one will think someone is in control or he is controlling it. We just have to let it go now. Maybe someday he will come out.

[carlosdelagarza]

If Satoshi is just one person I'm not surprised that he doesn't want to reveal his identity. Besides some fame and glory this would probably give him a lot of troubles. So, we will probably never know his true identity and he will enjoy the fortune and fruits of his work in secrecy. Good for him.

By being one of the first people to think about a crypto-currency concept it doesn't mean he will make a fortune with that.

It's like if we will call China as a "paper potency" only because they invented the paper.

Satoshi Nakamoto are all the Bitcoin developers. But if you want names Dorian Nakamoto and Hal Finney are the possible ones.

If he reveals his identity he would be the Tesla of the 21st Century (Government would be against him).

My point exactly. The major advantage of Bitcoin is Total Anonymity. I think Satoshi or his group of developers want to prove that point. And if everyone knows he is then it is not good for his life as Many governments would want him to shut down or make him do changes in Bitcoin as they want.

[slapper]

We will never know who is Satoshi. Maybe it is because he do not want to be famous or he have already gone. He is really a genius who has brought us together at here, discuss about many things related to his invention. I think that he is very happy right now when he know how Bitcoin has helped people

[BitFinnese]

Walk your talk, I think this is the reason why Satoshi disappear. One of the reason why  Bitcoin is created is for  anonymity. Who knows that untouched Bitcoin might be the reward of who ever broke the anonymity of Satoshi and identified him/them. As what bitcoin said, Bitcoin promotes anonymity,  If ever Satoshi is identified then Bitcoin failed on this area

[sublimus]

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.

So now he is a she?

[Mr.grin]

in fact, I do not know who it satoshi. but, of several documentary films that I watch, satoshi is the person who launched the bitcoin. maybe now he has a lot of bitcoin. he suddenly disappeared without cause, but I also believe that there is a reason why he disappeared.

[Juggy777]

Satoshi had to hide as to make sure his identity was not  revealed,  had he not done so, his life would have been he'll, you can only imagine the no of Bitcoin he would have. People would threaten his life to claim the coins. Secondly even if he escaped people, do you think the government agency would let him leave in peace, he would have been unnecessary harresed under various pretexts, and it would have been a miserable life. And you think the bank industry would have left him so easily, imagine all the authorities pouncing on him. He was wise enough never to come out and reveal, he knew the perils of him doing so. Put yourself in his shoes, would you really have revealed yourself to the world. Respect his choice, he did it to protect himself and his family. Op I found a link which you could also have found, don't really know who that guy is but read the line a strong leader for btc in start would have been a liability for btc. I think op if you read the links and comments it's should answer you.

Everything has its reason, in such a way Satoshi too has got some reason for hiding himself though his technology has made several good as well bad mysteries around the world. Sometimes if his identity got revealed, some impact could have felt on bitcoin.

[Wandering Soul~]

The Bitcoin technology itself is a threat to governments so if he doesn't hide his identity the government might sue him for anything that they find wrong or the worst case is force him to do things on bitcoins protocol . And to be honest being famous and recognizable by everyone is not really just a good thing . Satoshi might even do a bunch of interviews which is tiring and those people who just publish anything that they can might make up stories about him . No wonder satoshi didn't reveal himself 

[saqibmunir]

we know that satoshi is the father of the developers of cryptocurrency..... as bitcoin is the most popular and widely used cryptocurrency ever......
but the reason that he hides his identity according to my toughts are that he has the fair of arresting by government officials because bitcoin is the type of currency which kills income tax and can be used as money laundaring ...... maybe there are other many reasons like he has the fair of some terrorist that they may demands him for some money..... like this
