Satoshi has almost challenged the entire banking industry which no one could dare to do.Finacial sector has almost been shaken by bitcoin.Bankers and governments too are very much upset about bitcoin.No one has ever expected such a gigantic growth by bitcoin.We could understand that how much they would be in anger over a person who has created such a bitcoin.Satoshi's life itself is in serious threat.That's why,satoshi has taken a wise decision of hiding his identity so that his life would be spared.I think that he would never reveal his identity forever.
Exactly, the rest of his life he would live in a cage.
All governments on earth would indict him and extradite him, just like Julian Assange.
Years ago Phill Zimmerman invented PGP, and for years the GOV wanted to put him in prison, for giving the public an easy way to hide info from GOV.
Now satoshi has given us an easy way to make our own money and hide it from GOV, thus all gov on earth wants satoshi to pay.
Look at silk-road guy gets life in prison as an example, because GOV wants to set an example, also the silk-road guy never spent any BTC, because he knew they were all being tracked, just like satoshi ...
Why go public? If he goes public, then he goes to prison for life, and he can never spend the money.
Let's recall history, its when Gavin(?) I think told Satoshi he had an appointment to meet CIA, that was the last time, and of course Satoshi didn't want BTC used for Wikileaks as he knew that would make BTC an enemy of NSA&CIA.
So Satoshi must remain hidden for life, and can never spend his coin.
End of story.
The real question was satoshi doing this as a solo hobby, or was he a contractor?? Solo, means little, but contractors means some "AGENCY" owns BTC, IMHO most likely he was "SOLO" because if an agency had paid, they would of by now taken control, the fact that nobody has taken control, is a result of the fact that the first 5 years were just natural growth in the crypto-anarchy community,
Control bullshit didn't start until BTC became noticed by the elite bankers that rule the world
Now of course china see's BTC as currency for the 'gods',
I suspect that across the world BTC will be a rich mans tool, as given USA avg guy don't have $500USD in bank, sure as shit will never have 1 BTC, in China ppl are richer on average, thus many rich will move their wealth around via BTC, again its a toy for the politically elite rich, aka CIA
BTC is just most famous, now there are 1,000's of alt-coins and 100's are very profitable and not on radar,
In some ways its good the assholes ( gov, bankers, lawyers ) just stay focused on BTC and leave the good stuff alone
