Will Satoshi ever come forward?

[Cryptoking1205]

Personally, I think the cons of him coming forward will always outweigh the pros but I'm curious what some of y'all think. What would your single biggest pro or con be for him coming/not coming forward be?

Chances are, probably not. Simply because he/she/they don't have any reason to. I literally don't see a single pro besides the fact that the mystery is finally unveiled. As for the biggest con, almost any information about Satoshi being revealed is a con. Satoshi's Chinese? "ChiNa OwNs BiTcOiN". Satoshi's a Trump/Biden supporter? "BiTcOiN iS fOr LeFt-WiNg/RiGhT-WiNg" or whatever. The list goes on.

I'd also say that most probably he won't.
There were quite a number of possibly good reasons for him to come forward, especially when a bunch of clowns started to claim they're him, and he didn't. So why would he come out now?
No, no chance. I'd also say that his anonymity makes him - and us (!) - more powerful.

About sathoshi full of pros and cons, many are curious about him, he has appeared in public but his work is called gold in digital, some say they are a team of 11 people, who worked together, which finally came up with bitcoin... don't even understand which news is accurate..

[Lorence.xD]

To answer your question, I don't think that we are going to see the day that satoshi will ever come forward. Satoshi wants to remain anonymous and I hope that we will respect his wishes to remain anonymous. I don't know exactly what cons or pros will there be if satoshi was to show up but one thing that I know is that we won't see that from happening.

I totally agree with you. The disappearance of satoshi was one of the most important events in the history of bitcoin, and after years I'm sure that it was a good move for BTC. Having no centralized identity that you can target hate on is great. The appearance of satoshi will definitely have a negative impact on the btc price.

@OP To be hones i think that satoshi is dead. Died in a car accident or other sudden death situation.

He was posting almost every day. Few posts daily and than disappeared. He didn't even say goodbye. He did not write that he was abandoning the project because BTC is ready enough for that. He just disappeared.

This is my consensus too but going along with this note, do you think any of this would have really mattered if Satoshi didn't disappear to begin with? The world is entirely a different place since he was last heard from. Nonetheless, it's interesting to think about how much power one person can garnish in these types of situations and he chose to give all that power away - to the people, which was undoubtedly the correct thing to do. A part of me would love for him to come forward in 30-40 years but at the same time, staying anonymous is most likely what he wanted from the start.

[passwordnow]

I think we've got a bunch of discussions about ifs for satoshi's sudden appearance. But I'll settle for the incident that there's no hope for it. Satoshi has hidden for a long time and I don't think that he'll show himself all of a sudden just because the market has been pumping. If he wants to show himself, he had done that a long time ago when only a few people believe about bitcoin after his first disappearance. But it's a different scenario this time, a lot has been believing in it and bitcoin became better when it hadn't shown himself for a long time. No government has to track the main guy behind bitcoin.

Is this part of your Film making target? to use satoshi for your project?

Hey man,

New here but long time crypto investor. About to start my own film production company in the coming months. This might be our first project. Love the idea.

Anyway Good luck to your upcoming company and hope this will be crypto connected business.

But personally about Satoshi coming out? if the man really want this to happen then he'll do it on her own .

Surely media will be mind-blown once that 30-40 years you mentioned have happened.
I personally doubt he will come forward. We already have fake-toshi/s here, and that does not even make him come forward.
He already made something decentralized and surely governments would have a lot of questions to him if he decides to do so, but again I doubt.

No, Satoshi is probably dead, but you can expect to see more and more Faketoshi characters popping up in future like Craig Steven Wright, Bilal Khalid (James Caan), Debo Jurgen Etienne Guido, Ronald Keala Kua Maria, Jörg Molt or Phil Wilson (Scronty).

They all claimed they are the real Satoshi but nobody ever provided any real proof, except making some manipulations, lawsuits and fake ownership for Bitcoin whitepaper, so it is probably better that we never the know real identity of Satoshi.

nah, people can easily throw new conspiracy theory regardless of satoshi identity. let's say he's a japanese person, some "experts" can easily connect him with one photo or another to establish the left-right wing theory. it doesn't really matter. let him rest, since his dissapearance was probably planned (he's working on another project according to his last message, so let's just believe that).

[DannyHamilton]

I don't believe Satoshi is capable of "coming forward" any longer.  It is my belief that he has been dead for a while now.

[d_fitrie]

satoshi nakamoto is a very smart person he knows what he has to do this choice to be anonymous is chosen by satoshi maybe if satoshi is known by many people then everyone wants to target him for business partners or want to harm him then satoshi's choice is very right to hide his identity.

[kaggie]

There is a large risk of kidnapping and harm that could happen to him if he were to come forward. This could be from

* people who want his bitcoin, and would try to take it through physical threat to him or anyone near him
* people who hate bitcoin, and want to punish him

Without physicality, there are also the possibilities of lawsuits from the scavengers of the world who would tie him up in courts forever.

I always considered Hal Finney as a possibility for Satoshi.

That said, the reason he disappeared and his last decade could be incredibly mundane, with the idea of him much larger than the reality.

[dothebeats]

There really isn't any incentive for him/her/them to come back and reveal themselves. At this point, bitcoin has come to a point that it matured and doesn't really need the guidance, advice, or even mere presence of its creator. With that said, Satoshi coming back would have little to no difference to the current state of things in bitcoin, as it had already spread far and wide around the world that Satoshi's authority wouldn't really be obeyed anymore by a lot of people.

It's good that bitcoin remains a cryptocurrency with no known creator, as it instills that anonymity is extremely important on this particular currency that they created.

[Tigerheart3026]

Satoshi Nakamoto is a person or a team, it has not proven yet. i don't see any possibility to satoshi coming forward in the future. safety is also involved if reveal identity in the public.
although many people have already claimed as satoshi but they have not been able to show proper evidence.

[ziyaaa]

We don't even know whether Satoshi is alive or not. Let's say Satoshi is alive, then I think there is no meaning to show oneself from now on. We should have known who Satoshi is from the start. Now, we don't also know how a probable revelation could affect the market.

[Anonylz]

I doubt this will ever happen, even without his presence there is already too much emotions and sentiment happening,  people are going out of their mind with market down most times, too many people will want answers and who knows what else could happen,  better to remain anonymous.

[Zanab247]

I think so, because most of the things he or she put in place in the world is giving good results which many people will like to see he or she to appreciate for the good work. Since Satoshi impact is still keeping some countries to sustain in their economy they would like to celebrate he or she as a king or queen.
