In the documentary "Banking on Bicoin" a graphic is shown with potential candidates who can be Satoshi Nakamoto. In the documentary itself, it is believed that Satoshi is either Nick Szabo or Hal Finney, or even both together. Both have, however, already denied it. What do you think. Which of these people could mostly likely be Satoshi?

I don't have any sources to cite, but I honestly think Satoshi Nakamoto isn't any of these guys. Who knows he might just be an adult/s having the time of his life living in Hawaii or something LOL. Assuming if he completely moved on from his or their(Satoshi Nakamoto might be a group) invention.

It shouldn't matter who he is though. He already did his part on this new technology. (It would be great if we knew who he really is though, just for our curiosity).

I would say the same thing too on which I don't see on those people on whose satoshi nakamoto. Ive selected on the poll (others) because I do strongly believe that Satoshi wont really easily expose himself even on other name that he would tend to use. If bitcoin is anonymous then definitely hes anonymous too. No one really knows on whos satoshi nakamoto and people or even government do really strive to seek him.

He can be anyone or none of them, only Satoshi himself would tell. Its a secret which meant to be a secret I guess. He is behind the scenes because of a reason and I feel anyone who would become the face of Bitcoin should be behind the scene.

What's the point of knowing it? It doesn't change anything if we knew who he was. There would nothing be so special now if we discover that whoever he is, is in fact Satoshi Nakamoto. The point is that he did invent bitcoins, but the community is the one guiding where it would go. Bitcoins is not a one man show, he can't dictate what will happen next.

I do not know who satoshi nakamoto actually. Because when looking at news and some sources from the internet that led to speculation of many names, but to this day the names have not been proven as satoshi nakamoto. it might be better that we do not know who the true of satoshi nakamoto and let it remain still a mystery.

Whoever, he's a super genius. Perhaps, it may have yet unrevealed secret behind introducing Bitcoins.

He wasent in the list, but i also think John Nash is a good candidate for being Satoshi, as is Nick Sazbo imo
ON the other hand the whitepaper uses "We" alot, maybe the idea that it was a group is true?
Or maybe Satoshi was so smart he just used we to make it SEEM that way? Cheesy
Either way, thx to the armed thugs WE PAID FOR, we will never know Sad

ok, i am going to say it because apparently nobody else will.
Satoshi Nakamoto is an anonymous entity and will always remain that because this identity was created for that purpose. whoever we think is Satoshi Nalamoto is most probably isn't because the person(s) creating that identity wanted to stay anonymous not to be famous as some public figures such as the list above. and whoever claims to be Satoshi Nakamoto is diffidently not SN.

There is a FOMO brewing...

I think it's not group of people this is one person but I am not sure that he can keep stay anonymously because he is great goal for different peoples and a lot of them want "interview" with S.N. Or he  is something like hikikomori and living in garbage and he don't know which is today's date e.t.c.

Behind the success story of this digital currency, Satoshi Nakamoto turned out to choose to leave Bitcoin. On December 12, 2010, about seven days after submitting his opinion to Wikileaks, Nakamoto wrote the last message on the forum.

Of course, when nobody thought it would be Nakamoto's last post. He is still quite routine, though less frequently, reply to emails Bitcoin activists.

At that time, the leadership of Bitcoin development was held by Gavin Andresen. This one developer was originally famous for the Bitcoin Faucet site (bitcoin faucet) aimed at handing out 10,000 bitcoins for free.

Andresen is the only one who can still communicate via email with Satoshi Nakamoto. On April 26, 2011, Andresen delivered a message from the founder.

I don't think any one from the above list can be real satoshi nakamoto. Might be satoshi is already died in some accident or from sudden health problem so he couldn't make any updates on his situation. He might have died long time ago like around 2010 or 2011.

I don't the real identity of Satoshi and I don't think that is someone from the list above. But I'm sure that Satoshi Nakamoto is very clever person who doesn't want to be revealed and exposed to public because that is probably the last thing he needs. It's much better to enjoy his achievements from the peace of anonimity.

This issue is constantly interested in people. No one knows. To be honest it is worrying me. Why the man who invented society is a good thing to keep her identity secret? Perhaps there is a reason. I think that behind the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto is an organization which aims at getting rid of the US dominance in the global financial system.

The fact is no one can know except guesses. Even if any of them should come out to claim they are satoshi, will you believe them? However, I still do not want to believe satoshi is just 1 single guy. They could be 2 or 3 or even more. But who knows since satoshi has decided to remain anonymous until further notice. I look forward to the day satoshi's account on bitcointalk will resurrect  Grin ... I can imagine what that would create in the community.

I do not know if knowing who Satoshi is will be of an import. Bitcoin has been doing well (I think) without Satoshi being around (not that I know if he is). There might be a huge impact if ever Satoshi rises from his hiding place so it is much better if he stays hidden. What is the sense of knowing who Satoshi is? to thank him? I do not know why we should find him if he himself does not want to be found.

Bitcoin is a path breaking innovation and I am sure that Satoshi is not a single human. A group is definitely behind the bitcoin's development. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible to make bitcoin so immensely popular. There was a structured workforce for all the hard work done behind bitcoin.

However, I personally don't think it is right thing to finding who Satoshi is. Because if it is found who Satoshi is, a lot of enforcement agency goons will be after him and he will be behind the bars in no time. I don't think Mr. Satoshi or that group doesn't deserve that punishment. Bitcoin has given us financial freedom and a lot of people are actually earning a decent income due to his innovation. He deserves some respect and privacy.
