Who is Satoshi? Why did he hide his identity?

[EllaPonchik]

I think he is the person who wants everyone to be equal, but he hides his identity so that he is not found and punished.

[william8829]

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.

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 .

Heres a few interesting things about Gavin Andresen.  Born Gavin Bell.  Started the first BTC faucet.  Worked closly with Satoshi, maybe the closest  .  Without warning his name and contact information replaces Satoshis' on the Bitcoin.org website.

Buy hey, no one gives a flying fuck what you think or whether you're right. Bitcoin Cash does not give a fuck about you.

Well if the true identity of satoshi nakamoto would be out there, you would've already known by now. But I truly think it's for the better that he/she remains anonymous. Bitcoin and blockchain in general is such a revolutionary technology that a lot of governments are not as happy with it. For his/hers sake it's safer to remain anonymous. It's also possible that the true satoshi is already dead, I think this is the case.

Governments are very happy with it do not be so easily deceived by the popular thought.They outlaw cash like they are doing in europe and everyone has just one btc or digital currency address by law and guess what.Total slavery and monitoring of everything you spend

Personally, I think that we will never find answer for this question.
It's obvious that Satoshi likes anonymity and don't want publicity.
After all, it's very good way to avoid government and tax control
He proved already that he is smart guy and he did the best thing for himself, don't you think so?

[jyakulis]

why did he publish the white paper on Halloween?

[S A KHAIR]

According to internet Satoshi is the founder of Bitcoin, But nobody knows him.
This is the most amazing and mysterious section of Bitcoin.

[drwhobox]

Satoshi did hide his identity due to some death threat because he is holding most of the Bitcoin on the market right now. He won't reveal his true identity no one really know who satoshi is and where is he from.

[StockBet.com]

I'm surprised that somebody hasn't made a movie about Satoshi yet.

It would be just as interesting, if not more interesting to watch than Social Network.

Throughout the movie, there can be several journalists, cypherpunks, etc., even the Winklevoss twins, traveling the world to search for Satoshi.  They would meet several imposters and through challenging analysis, uncover the frauds.

Then at the end, the camera would pan over the shoulder of one of the frustrated investigators and we see a man wearing a hat and sunglasses, sipping on a martini, surrounded by beautiful women.  It's like the TV commercial of the "world's most interesting man".  The camera zooms in on his phone and we see one of his signed public addresses.

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

He must have a plan of hiding his identity. For him creating the white paper at the Halloween season, hmm... There is a mystery behind bitcoin,  but I think it will be of good for now.

For me Satoshi is one person,that probably created a revolutionary invention which is bitcoi,.And he was aware of that and knew that anyday soon bitcoin will affect financial system worldwide.He probably prefered to hide his self as some potential governement that wish to shut down bitcoin may want to force him to somehow act against bitcoin developpement.

Others say,that a group of people that are against being not anonymous in there daily life,they are named cypher punks may be behind bitcoin creation.

We are not ready to discover who is Satoshi anyways

and the mystery continue 

Ithink Satoshi is a virtual personality and no real physical existence. Becausenobody knows who was he and where does he live. Just one thing the people he know about satoshi is that he belongs to china and he is the founder of bitcoin and now he is not in this world.

One thing I want to say about satoshi is that he gave the world a currency which is beyond the tensions and any other hurdles which is built in with the paper currency.

Satoshi nakamotor physically exist and the real reason why he is not exposing his self in the audience or in the public because a lot of people will try to kill or stole his bitcoins because hot millions of bitcoin and that is worht billion or even more dollars so it is just a dangerous action if he will introduced himself to the people around the world.

Its a mystery and no one will ever know about the real Satoshi. As we already knew that, real Satoshi has mined around 1 million coins in the initial days so he/they will never disclose the identity for security reasons and to avoid the authorities.

This is a very difficult situation. Especially now, that bitcoins are very popular and many big companies and governments want to get it. So the so-called satoshi must conceal his glorification to save himself. He can be put to death here. It's a big obstacle to banks and industries so it really needs to stop. But they are very difficult and impossible to do so their only key is the founder of Bitcoins.

I'm Satoshi.

The "real" Satoshi didn't even own a computer during it's conception.

figure that one out.
