Why do hsatoshi Nakamoto hide himself?

[Gozie51]

Satoshi making himself anonymous was one of the best moves he made.  Satoshi was clearly very smart and calculated when it came to how he set everything up.  By making himself anonymous and made sure that there was no "central figure" behind bitcoin.  This was it didn't look like bitcoin had a CEO , so to speak.  This kept bitcoin a coin truly of the people.  This is kinda like why Charlie Lee sold most of his litecoin, so that there was a central figure over the coin holding large bags.  I think this was a very smart move by satoshi personally.

This is a good way to reason on the disappearance of Satoshi. Perhaps he wanted real freedom which bitcoin gives and that is why no government has been able to stop bitcoin.

Or have we also thought that if Satoshi was made public or presented himself to the world as the founder of this financial revolution breezing everywhere, he might have been arrested by these security agencies all over the place, the likes of FBI, CIA etc and perhaps taken to ICC for an allegation of conscripting his own currency and maybe ending up in jail and the noble dream dies off. This is my loud thinking and most reasonable to be thought for whatever reason Satoshi went under is for the revolution to be achieved.

Satoshi Nakamoto the founder of Bitcoin is the famous name in this century. His revolutionary invention facilitate world's economic currency system. He is our pride. But why do he hide himself? Reputation is supposed to roll at his feet. Many people come to the campaign claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto.

There are lots of Faketoshis around trying to claim out that theyre Satoshi but still failed to give out some solid proofs.Okay lets talk about Satoshi itself why he hid himself into the shadows.
First of all we dont even know if hes still alive or not but to mind off on how revolutionary the creation that he had made then it would be still putting his life in danger considering
that he made out something which is totally opposing centralazation which simply means or shows off that government would be the main enemy and we know on whats
next with that.

Actually, only Satoshi knows why he hides, we just guess the reasons. However, he must do it as the best option to secure Bitcoin and himself. Creating Bitcoin attracts the attention of governments around the world and fiat fanatics. They can plan to stop Bitcoin at any time by catching the creator and accusing him of crimes. There has been too much bad news about Bitcoin in the past, including the issue of terrorist financing. If Satoshi declares himself, we probably cannot see Bitcoin exist till today.
