Satoshi gave us Bitcoin and only wanted to stay anonymous and private. Bitcoiners are not interested in making their job of staying under the radar any more difficult than it is.

I don't know why people are really wanting to know who Satoshi is, because I just know that humans are just too troublesome and the moment they finally discover who Satoshi is, there are possibilities that people will want to start persecuting him for some unreasonable reasons.
Personally I don't see any reason to wanting to know the real identity of Satoshi as long as it doesn't affect the volatility of bitcoin, and I also think that the anonymity of the founder of bitcoin, Satoshi is one major reason bitvoon has been trusted this far as no singular person is seen as been in charge.
How do you identify "who Satoshi Nakamoto is"? Let's say is was Joe Bloggs, and he is already deceased, what is the point. I personally would prefer him staying anonymous, but understand how and why he created Bitcoin. I also understand that for lots of Bitcoiners are only interested in the financial side, which is fine, but people like me are curious about its social and cultural aspects, too, and mankind has always been driven by pure curiousity, even beyond immediately practical purpose.
