I think he or she will, something in my heart tells me they are still alive. I don`t think they will reveal their location or who they are, but I do think they will post on this forum in the next 5 years. It is only a matter of time before some big big rogue miners or bitcoin devs do something he or she do not like or see`s a problem with and they will have to come back and have a voice in the matter.
It will probably start by him or her saying something like this.
"Keep using the longest chain" or maybe "use this chain instead from now on"
I did a poll earlier a few months ago I think 19 out of 20 people said they would use whatever satoshi said.
Bitcoin is flawless and therefore satoshi does not need to come up to justify anything.
He is real satoshi nakamoto. and he is the most historic person in this crypto in my opinion. and he doesn't want to be exposed. and said he was someone who was humble and ordinary. I myself hope he can become part of this forum again and add more features on crypto community. he is genius.
When he is no more interested to reveal his identity, we expecting him to come forward to reveal is senseless. Just because he made an innovation and stays hidden it doesn't mean he is humble and ordinary. It is not the way to predict his character and behavior. If he expose himself surely he will be facing more serious issues from governments which is the major reason for staying anonymous.
Real Satoshi is dead as if he was alive he would have come in front of public. If he is not dead, then he is doing a big mistake of not revealing himself because other cheap people are using this as an advantage to themselves and claiming to be the satoshi.
