Will Satoshi ever be back ?

can we just leave the guy alone and let him enjoy his anonymity and peace?

Exactly that is the best way.

The best life is when you have a lot of money and no one knows about it. With that, you can go to any party without anyone knowing you and bothering you. If you are popular or famous, it is very difficult to go shopping alone in peace without being bothered by anyone. It is great when no one knows what your financial options are or what decisions you can make. If someone lives like that, they live a wonderful life in peace and will i think he/she/they help other people.

That's his greatness, and he remained anonymous. Not only that, many good people want to be known and famous, but Satoshi's good deeds, in my opinion, surpass the good deeds of all good people in the world. Yet, he remained hidden, and his good deeds became a source of incredible charity because he helped so many people—not just a few people or certain individuals, but everyone around the world who got involved with Bitcoin has felt the benefits, helped, changed their lives for the better, and other good things that I think are very noble deeds, and he still didn't want everyone to know about it, and his life was truly beautiful.

If Satoshi’s revelation will put bitcoin price being compromised, then I don’t think Satoshi will still chose to come out and forgot its anonymity factor. Bitcoin has become more exciting due to anonymous Satoshi, so there’s no reason that the inventor itself will ruin his own creation.

And even if we consider Satoshi coming back, what would be its essence for bitcoin? Instead, it will only put Satoshi’s life in danger, most especially that the whole world is now currently aware of all his highly valuable bitcoin assets.

This topic keeps coming up and being discussed over and over again, i find it amusing to see people asking the same questions over and over again when the same topic has been discussed countless times before. can you guys come up with something more meaningful? I'm just tired of people constantly discussing whether Satoshi will return when you know he simply won't.

Someone said Satoshi Nakamoto revealing himself as the owner of BTC will actually affect the value of it in a negative way, is that true or just a way of saying that curiosity is what makes BTC stand up till today? What do you think?

It will definitely affect the price because he is the creator. By the way, curiosity is probably the reason why Bitcoin still stands today because the fact that satoshi is anonymous, makes Bitcoin even more decentralized than any other currency.

can we just leave the guy alone and let him enjoy his anonymity and peace?

He created just too huge work to lose interest into him. He created a financial revolution in 21st century, in the century of digitalization, so it's understandable that everyone chases his identity and wants to know who he is. That will never stop because the question is simple and there is no answer. Every new Bitcoin customer potentially has that question, who is satoshi?

Satoshi is back, we are the Satoshi. A selfless man that want to teach people about decentralization is a true Satoshi, we are doing exactly how he want Bitcoin to be and how he want the network to going. There is nothing he is going to do if he comes back today. It's the same people that have been committing development on Github that are going to be doing the work.

If Satoshi comes back to online today, it will only cause panic and I don't think he is going to do that if he is alive. Many people think he is dead but Satoshi isn't dead, we are the true heir of Satoshi.

Many questions and debate about Satoshi Nakamoto.

Satoshi Nakamoto is still alive, he sees everything going on, and the speculation from people saying he is someone different. Although some speculations may be right but we wont know.

The name Satoshi Nakamoto originate from Japan I guess, but I am certain the founder of Bitcoin isn't from Japan. This is just another way to increase his anonymity so he can hardly be traced.

In many cases, puzzles make you more interested. Most of the time, people pay more attention to something that is hidden, and when it is finally revealed, people do not pay much attention to it. Many people have been working hard to find invaluable resources that have been hidden underground or deep in the sea for years.

Bitcoin is a decentralized valuable digital asset. Its founder has designed it in a way that developers have made it universal in terms of global adoption. The founder of Bitcoin himself has created a curiosity by hiding himself. I think if he reveals himself, it will not have a negative impact on the value of Bitcoin. Due to the limited supply of Bitcoin, the value will continue to increase in the future this is almost solid.

What makes BTC stand up till today
1. Stability and commitment: the core working of bitcoin has been extremely consistent, and devs have been highly committed to making improvements while keeping the core of it stable.
2. No change in assurances: the original assurance of anonymity (addresses) along with transactional transparency remain unchanged

and the most essential thing for any currency:
3. Account and transaction security: which hinges on the private keys et al of course; but this assurance is strong enough that, for example, I can be sure that you are not able to access my account unless I reveal the private key or pull some some self-compromising stunt.

and the most essential thing for any publicly available technology:
4. Publicly accessible source code that in and of itself - even while looking at the code - cannot be compromised despite revealing it's inner workings transparently.

There may be other factors but in my opinion these things are key.

Back in 2012-13 I thought it's all vapourware that will vanish in a few years; but time has proved points #1 and #2 which elevates my confidence. Points #3 and #4 are why I would personally continue to hodl it and invest in it.

In my view the presence of Satoshi (which will probably get challenged by Copa or someone else anyways 😅) or the absence of Satoshi will not be a major factor in the continued success of bitcoin.

Is it known whether the legend has ever posted on this forum?

Edit: [Apparently yes](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3;sa=showPosts).
