I think we all know that satoshi is the one who created  with the help of other's of course,
and he hides him/herself because of all the government that is hunting him/her because of tax evasion
i don't think if he is still earning from it as a creater of it he doesn't have any problem in gaving tax to the government i think there are some other reason that we can't judge.....

He probably isn't earning from it but he probably got hundreds of thousands of Bitcoins in his wallets. I wish I had at least 10BTC since Bitcoin was $1, but I was too late at the party so I got my first ones since Bitcoin was $1100. He should have known this project will go big.

some speculations say satoshi owns about 1 million coins. but i say all of it is irrelevant, and if you wanted you should have gotten in when price was low and it is still not late.
it was not long ago when price was $200 and people were saying the same thing about wishing price was lower. and some point everyone has to stop wishing and start acting.

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

imo Satoshi is only one person and he hide his identity to save his life or his family. As we know, founder of new technology not always will be rich, safe and famous

To this day we do not know who is exactly Satoshi, and I doubt we will ever know. There is as much supposed reasons for Satoshi to hide than there is people that claimed to be Satoshi, with between those : fear for his life, him being dead, etc.
Not only that, governments are not the only ones looking for him, wannabe journalist are also trying to make a name for themselves by trying to expose his identity, I think he hid so well from the beginning because he knew as stated by himself that bitcoin will either not be used by anyone in 20 years or that it will be used by millions.

Satoshi was libertarian who didn't care about money as much as he cared about freedom.  He hid because he cared about his privacy and needed to protect his privacy to enjoy his freedom.  Easy read there--he was probably motivated by the prospect of having a hand in bringing about social, economic, and political change. Who knows?

ADDENDUM: Either that or he was a super genius who made bitcoin just because he could and got bored with it and moved on to the next thing that interested him.  He is probably one of those super smart blokes with attention deficit disorder who doesn't have time for the small stuff. He had too many other bloody things to be thinking about than incompetence and left when he lost control of the project to the wikileaks shills who's sole purpose of existing was privacy invasion.  A bunch of bloody scrubs!

Why did Satoshi hide his identity?
Because like hell, no one cares about it. And no, he's not hiding anything. Its just like no one ask for his/her identity.
Has anyone seen Satoshi in real life?
Who knows? Maybe yes and maybe no, no one knows him/her so how can be he/she recognized in real life?
Is Satoshi one person? Or is it a community?
He/she is a person not a community nor a group of people. He/she come up this idea and he/she knows that people will need this project as time passes by thats why he/she make it as open source so developers out there will continue his/her work as time goes.

I think satoshi it's just a community or a pseudonym of one person. It's an anonymous. I think no one know where is satoshi.
For me, I think that the name: satoshi nakamoto, Maybe that a japanese name.

If you want to understand Satoshi, I suggest downloading a copy of the original version of the Bitcoin protocol - i.e. before Gavin et al polished it up.

It's a strange piece of code. The style doesn't look at all like that of a commercial programmer. When I first read through it (late 2010), my initial impression was that it came from somebody who was self-taught, from one of the non-software communities that tend to write code - academic economists, physicists, maybe a manager at a bank. Definitely not a mainstream programmer.

The language of the inline comments made it clear that it was an American. I assumed at the time it was an expat living in Japan, possibly working for one of their big banks.

Whoever it was, they were highly idealistic (like extreme end of libertarian) and quite paranoid.

Where can I download the first version of Bitcoin Core software? I mean, that's the first version that only Satoshi has done.

How do you like SATOSHI's programming style? Is it coded like poetry?

Nobody knows who is satoshi, is satoshi either a group or a person nobody knows it, the one that I know is Satoshi is the creator of Bitcoin and his creation has helped so many people in this world, and it is a good move for him to hide his identity so he can live in peaceful life and far away being target by criminal

Probably all of this started on the initiative of a single person, but over time, seeing the complexity of the project, he/she realized that would need other developers, especially due to the fact that the development of Bitcoin is something continuous. And yeah, this is probably a Japanese name, but that does not necessarily mean that is his nationality.

Anonym synonymous with no identity or hide the identity so I think it's okay if no one knows who it's satoshi  and why hide identity? because he is an anonym and an anonym will hide the identity

I think it's not just hiding his identity, I think he wants to keep bitcoin decentralized, and if it has an "owner" it looks like any other government or country run currency.

This should remain anonymous and he should as well. Bitcoin is popular due to decentralization and the fact that the inventor is anonymous, there is no reason for him to show up, we love the current system and for me, it is best to stay this way.
Honestly, what would it do if Satoshi will reveal his personal identity when everything is opensource.

yes it is commonly saying satoshi is the creator of bitcoin. may its right , but now one about that the fact that what is satoshi, either it is an organization, a group of people or a single person. and it is hiding its identity because he do not want to decentralize bitcoin, and continue it as anonymous and i think that is the reason that more and more people are trusting on bitcoin and joining. it.

I think Satoshi hid himself in his bid to self promote Bitcoin but his identity whether he's a person or a community I can't tell at the moment but he did hide for a good course for sure.

I agree even me Im not believing that Craig Wright is satoshi nakamoto , He should put hard evidence that he is satpahi nakamoto and why did he want to be exposed now? Before he hides himself from public for his safetyness and now he is revealing himself thats why I am not agreeing that craig wright is satoshi nakamoto.

Eh...I've always known Smiley

And it's none who has been previously named.

Those who have come forward were predicted and protected against. There's but one way to determine the real Satoshi and he's not going to stand up.

Why did Satoshi hide his identity? Has anyone seen Satoshi in real life?
Is Satoshi one person? Or is it a community?
coin revlution has asked four questions at once. I am here to answer the four questions.
1. Why did Satoshi hide his identity ? It was needed to hide.
2. Has anyone seen Satoshi in real life ? Yes
3. Is Satoshi one person ? Yes
4. Or is it a community ? Not a community.

Your questions have many answers but I have given four answers.
If you want to know other answers, you can ask me privately.

It's not Craig Wright but it might be the expert who pretended to be dumb enough to be tricked by Craig Wright  Wink
