Why do people care who Satoshi is/was?

[Ridwan Fauzi]

Satoshi will always be a hot topic to be disscussed especially when bitcoin price is increasing a lot then there will be many people especially new comers who will be curious about Satoshi Nakamoto.

They will be curious why he/they creates bitcoin using a mysterious identity and they will be curious whether he/
she is still around here and how many bitcoins it has.

But it will just for a while, after they know bitcoin and they have bitcoin they will be focus on how to make money in bitcoin. They will be focus on how to invest well and how to trade well. Because bitcoin can give them money in a few times if they able to predict.

Knowing who satoshi is will not be beneficial in crypto right now, I guess it will only put his security at risk. I guess it is enough that he had created crypto and let him be anonymous as he chose to be left with no trace. Some people are just curious who is behind the genius work.

It cant really be avoided on where there are people who do really want to know the origin of this bitcoin invention or innovation.It did really give out such impact not only on profit making
but also into the usage that it gives to the community this is why there are people whom  do really likes to know on whose behind on this one.It might not really be affecting the market as a whole
but can be denied that once he shows up himself onto public will really be creating that hype since the creator itself did make some revelation.This isnt something that
can easily to happen but who knows if he do make out that kind of decision.

All due to curiousity I think. On the first time I have got to know Bitcoin, I have also got curious upon knowing and hearing about Satoshi Nakamoto for it have gained my interest on knowing him but since identities here in cryptocurrency industry seems to be pseudo anonymous, then I did not bother anymore for it seem that there is no big impact if ever I do know him or not. It is just a matter of an information that one person wanted to know all due out of his curious mind that is why some are seeking about him. Probably for the newbies because the oldies do not bother anymore to know him. What is just the important thing is that no matter who he is, he have done a great thing that benefits us all up to this point of time and possible for the brighter future ahead of us.

You can stop people to know whos actually Satoshi, he is a celebrity now and they keep digging to find who is it and might take some pictures together. But that curiosity leads to nothing as this person leaves no traces to see, he is really anonymous.

A lot of rich people pretending he was the creator of Bitcoin (satoshi) but sorry, they failed to claim it and it is that because nobody could prove that he was the real creator. I'm not sure if this person was still alive because if that possible he's still around, he might be out now and tell his story just like other big and successful personality does.

Why do people care who Satoshi Nakamoto is/was? It's like wondering the name of the person that created the wheel. Sure, I suppose I would be curious about the name of the inventor of the wheel, if nothing else to raise a beer to them from time to time, but ultimately the wheel is the important part of the story.

There is no concrete date on when a wheel is created and it may be 4000 years ago and it is hard to determine who invented the wheel but bitcoin is a decade old and it is not a good comparison. Even if you wanted to know the inventor of wheel it is an impossible task but that is not the situation with Satoshi as he can always pop up right now and prove that he invented bitcoin by signing a signature digitally from one of his earlier wallets.

The confusion was always there since everyone confused about who is the real Satoshi and how this technology running behind this invention.
But the fact is that even we found the real Satoshi it will never change the Bitcoin price, we as the community and the crypto enthusiast who hold the price of Bitcoin including the institutional investors the recently adopting Bitcoin.

Why not we don't respect the decision of the Bitcoin creator hiding permanently?  Satoshi designed Bitcoin anonymously as a peer-to-peer payment method.  This is to make sure for Satoshi that Bitcoin will remain decentralized creation.

I truly salute Satoshi even I don't know, people now have benefited from what Satoshi's created.

[Alberts_Lob]

I think Satoshi knew that Bitcoin had the potential to disempower some of the most powerful organizations on the planet so chose to remain anonymous. We should respect that

[Shasha80]

Not everyone cares about Satoshi Nakamoto's identity, because I don't think you will get anything by knowing Satoshi Nakamoto's identity.
Why don't we use our only 24 hours a day for something much more useful than focusing on finding traces of people who don't want to be found.
Maybe some people are really curious, so they never tire of searching for Satoshi Nakamoto's identity. Which maybe all the things he does end up
in vain, fortunately I'm not someone who is obsessed with that kind of thing.

[Peanutswar]

It's just normal because again from the spread of the news and videos like mostly the top hidden person with a high earning also the bitcoin comes up into over 60k USD for sure there are a lot of people who got curious about the bitcoin the same with the creator of this coin.

Well is there something if we discover Satoshi? I guess it will change for something. Also, I think Satoshi does not want to handle too much responsibility.

This topic will always be periodically raised, since new people will come to the cryptocurrency for a long time to come, who will always be interested to know how bitcoin appeared and who created it. Satoshi Nakamoto did the right thing to want to remain anonymous. Thus, no one can monopolize the right to bitcoin and it will forever remain a creation of the people.
However, the mystery is always interesting. Therefore, we will hear many more various assumptions about the personality of Satoshi Nakamoto.

I agree that we should respect but does it answer the question about why do people care who satoshi is? I think it is a no-brainer that satoshi wants to be anonymous because satoshi knows that he/she is going to be attacking conglomerates and the established financial institutions. I think the reason that people care about satoshi's identity being revealed is because of plain curiosity, they want the mystery to be unraveled like how you want to know the trick behind the magic.

Sure, I suppose I would be curious about the name of the inventor of the wheel, if nothing else to raise a beer to them from time to time, but ultimately the wheel is the important part of the story.

There are several reasons :

1. Speculators know Satoshi has more than 1 000 000 coins and he/she or they can dump those coins on the market to crash the Bitcoin price.

2. Governments (Puppet masters) wants to know, because they want to prosecute Satoshi for creating a currency and going up against them.

3. People want to know, because they fear Satoshi might be some Pedophile or mass murderer and they do not want to support that.  

4. Natural curiosity (If you see a cave, you want to know what is in there)

5. The media wants to know, because they can sensationalize the whole thing.

6. Criminals want to know, because they want to get their hands on Satoshi's coins.  

These are just some of the reasons, but I think it will explain why some people are so obsessed with Satoshi Nakamoto

Nowadays, we used to know every single detail about everything. So if we do not know who is the real person who created Bitcoin it makes us uncomfortable. If we did not know who established Tesla we might think that maybe some aliens, as we think great pyramids were created by aliens. So it will be always a topic of curiosity among Bitcoiners and others.
At the same time, if something bad happens we should find a scapegoat. In this case, there is not anyone that we can blame on.

Maybe he was but it was not the reason for this creation and he's probably not thinking that Bitcoin will have this current value and market demand.
He never comes out to the public and talks about himself to the camera as he wasn't able to make this appreciation that could bring himself to a higher risk. If he is still alive or anyone knows about him, he might be on the hunt now as some government leaders and businessmen hated Bitcoin.

That much better to keep anonymous all the time and to make himself safe.

What a way to put it as to why it doesn't seem important to know, @ "at least, raising a beer to them". Well, its really of no importance as to whom these persons are but there immerse contribution to humanity will forever be a memory of them and thats the best they can ever have. A name at times if often better than a face. In the days of odd before the advent of camera and perfected art, a name Is all they had.

Just that, most people are still scared of bitcoin and as such, knowing the pioneer or creator of bitcoin would give them some sort of a reassurance towards the currency. In times of chaos, a word or two from him or her is all the people need to be hopeful on the best once more but no, it wouldn't be for the best. The best is in what we have now, each other, each crypto enthusiast strengthening ourselves based on how we perceive and recognise the threats to the system. Its all we need.

[romero121]

Just think of Elon Musk, even now there are people who doesn't know about Elon Musk and the leading personalities. When some interesting news comes out relative to leading personalities and innovators, everyone have wish to know about them. This is the reason why people care about the personality Satoshi.

[isaac_clarke22]

Curiosity actually. It's like solving a mystery but this one is pointless.
Others could be pursuing questions like why does the price of Bitcoin become too unstable.

For me, I don't. Just like what DannyHamilton said, most don't care. Let the person/s be because they're not gonna go here just to say something.

[nightxglow]

I know right, i'm pretty confused as well, seeing the topic of satoshi will appear from one time to another, people just don't seem to get tired of it. And most of the time, the guess are ridiculous and have no basis at all.
i mean, yeah sure it might be nice to know who satoshi is. But i guess he has his own reason why he doesn't come out even after all the fuss, maybe he want his privacy to be kept or other things? who knows? I guess if that's the case, then we just have to respect his decision and move on, don't try too hard to find out about his identity anymore.

[Innerpumper]

I think it will be taught in some universities, if we research a cryptocurrency we should know who their team is. As well as bitcoin, some people do research on satosi nakamoto to be taught to the next generation.
