why the identity of satoshi nakamoto matters

[welliamy]

People don't know who it is?

the question is who they are not who is  because the bitcoins can not have been created by just one person

I don't think the identity of the legendary Satoshi Nakamoto matters, what matters is the system that he and his group developed and building on that legacy.

That matters because "they" have a lot of bitcoins

It will only matter once he reveals himself. He holds a lot of coins, and his opinions will be able to sway decisions and the markets. The influence he will wield in the cryptocurrency scene will be completely unprecedented, and I wouldn't be surprised if majority of people treats him as the authority.

Until then though, his identity being unknown doesn't matter. He disappeared for a reason, and I personally think people should respect that by putting the issue to rest.
