Totally agree the identity stuff is just gossip, and pretty weird gossip at that Bitcoin’s value isn’t in who made it, it’s in the code that’s been battle tested for 15 years, the fact Satoshi disappeared is a feature, not a bug Let’s keep the main thing the main thing
People with enough knowledge about Bitcoin and its history will understand the reason about Satoshi's anonymity, and they won't be looking for his real identity because they would understand that his anonymity has played a great role at making Bitcoin what it is today, because this makes Bitcoin truly decentralized since people know that the creator of the asset isn't around anymore, no one is there to make any changes to the network or the existing supply, so things are going to stay how they are forever, and this is a good thing for Bitcoin.
Those who are constantly looking for Satoshi's real identity, or those who are always spreading rumors about it and trying to connect his name with people or people trying to prove that they are Satoshi are only doing all that to get some attention and that's it. They know they can't find or prove anything, but they want to stay highlighted, and that's why they don't give up, and people around the industry pay them attention, which motivates them to push further.
