Will you still hold?

No matter who created Bitcoin or who its creator is, as long as it is profitable, it doesn’t matter. Even if it were Epstein, so what? Unless he committed crimes that are proven or there are witnesses, then of course we should leave it. So far, there is no problem with Bitcoin. It is merely a tool or an investment asset that is profitable. I’m sure no one would believe such a claim today unless you have strong evidence to support it.

Honestly the creator's identity is irrelevant to the code's function, the network is trustless for a reason but you're right, if there were proven horrific crimes tied to the creator, it would become a massive PR problem and could hurt adoption since there's no evidence, it's just a distracting conspiracy theory, focus on the asset's performance and the tech.

When the image of the creator is being dragged, the damage is more of social than technical. Even in situations where there are unfounded accusations, it can potentially shape the perception of the public about the asset itself, when  the perception is ruptured it’ll definitely affect regulations, newcomers and even institutions. And this is the very reason why this issue keeps on coming up, not really because it affects how the network works itself but how people perceive and react towards the asset.

Honestly, I don't care yet who behind person create bitcoin and right now many people claiming their own self is Satoshi during bitcoin still profitable hold it for long term, I am not easily get panic moment during many people sharing information about Satoshi and many people try to defend they are the right Satoshi. Personally the creator of bitcoin know more and what the advantage for bitcoin developing in the future, never show his identity to public and claim about he is the real Satoshi because has many bitcoin in his wallet so want to make more secure.

Lest focus for investing in bitcoin and forgetting about all bad news when some one talk they are Satoshi looks the wallet bitcoin holding of Satoshi not moving yet to other wallet so what make you all panic?

For other people it is important and for some other people it is not important, I know why people think it is not important because Satoshi is long gone and may not exist in this world, and Satoshi also has no way back to enter the bitcoin system, people who don't think he is a person who strongly believes that Satoshi will never be found and if found it will not be a problem, secondly, people who believe in something bad when Satoshi flushes the market with 1 million bitcoins in his wallet, or he gets government intervention and has a backdoor to damage what actually scares some people when Satoshi is found or comes to the surface.

I will not hodl if there are clear evidence that BTC will not going to last more than one month, because hodling BTC again it will frustrate many people that will still leave their BTC in their wallet. Since we don't know who Satoshi is and any bad news that may come from social media it will not make people to stop hodling BTC but if this news come from Satoshi Bitcointalk forum account it will make people not to doubt about the news than to start selling their BTC.

BTC is doing what people want from their hodling and they have benefited from the ones they have hodl for long years. Nothing will make people not to hodl BTC, because they have many reasons to chose BTC over other cryptocurrencies.

[CryptoATM]

It doesnt/wouldnt matter regardless of who Satoshi was/is because Bitcoin
has become far greater than any one person.

The only way for Satoshi's identity to be proven is for Satoshi to sign a
message from one of the identified wallets, or to simply move some coins.
Otherwise any future claims or suggestions as to Satoshis identity is nonsense.

At a point like this, we shouldn't be bothered about the identity of satoshi as long as every transaction can still be verified on the blockchain.
The case with satoshis identity would have been a great concern if it was earlier before now but for now, I personally think, satoshi revealing his identity wouldn't make any sense on the market but rather he might even be trolled for seeking fame because there's nothing he might be seeking outside fame if he has to make his identity known now.

[Rgram]

It is not a big deal to Satoshi because Bitcoin has now reached the peak of its popularity. However, whoever Satoshi is, if he is alive, if he can transfer some Bitcoin from Satoshi's old wallet, then it will be identified as the real Satoshi. Otherwise, if any person introduces himself as Satoshi, it will be meaningless. It is not credible, so many people can claim to be fake Satoshi. If Satoshi was really alive, then of course, if he can transfer Bitcoin from the old wallet, the real Satoshi will be identified.

I don’t know how you came to the conclusion that Satoshi Nakamoto is a “HE” or could be tied to a gender. For all we know, this haven’t been spilled and the founder is not tied to any gender, we don’t even know if it’s the name of some organization with a character to go by the username on forums.

Regardless of who Satoshi Nakamoto is right now, people would hold regardless. Bitcoin has grown far more than any single individual, organization or government.

[YOSHIE]

How will you feel if this is the reality for a minute? Will you have the gut to keep holding or not?

Questions like this often arise after the halving occurs and are often asked when Bitcoin prices fall like they are now.
But true Bitcoin users really understand the direction and journey of Bitcoin, as long as Bitcoin has not touched the $500k level, of course true Bitcoin users will survive and remain in their stance in waiting for Bitcoin's further development.

Bitcoin's decline is not the end of the story, we are still committed to the next halving, whoever survives and that commitment is the one who wins and which of the Bitcoin users goes back are the losers and continue not to get anything from Bitcoin itself.

[HyperCodexV]

Leave your reality behind for a while and dive into this world of mine, spare me a minute and think for a moment that this is true what will you do if this is the case?

Epstein is Satoshi Nakamoto

How will you feel if this is the reality for a minute? Will you have the gut to keep holding or not?
Will this start the beginning of the end for Bitcoin or it doesn't even matter no more.

If hypothetically Epstein turns out to be satoshi, then it will be more reason to buy mor BTC and hold if i have the funds, because it means all the BTC he is holding will forever remain in hold unless of course somehow the CIA or FBI finds a way to unlock his wallet but I will doubt. Sometimes is better to over look the negativity and focus on the positivity.

If Epstein negative lifestyle disgusting and difficult to forgive, then I guess the little positive thing about his life on earth was the creation of BTC and that will at least give him some bit of legacy.

Which is more important: Satoshi, who invented Bitcoin, or Bitcoin itself, which has provided immense financial relief to people worldwide? Choosing to focus on Bitcoin’s impact doesn't mean we don't value or appreciate its creator; that’s just common sense.

It’s like a child eventually leaving their parents to start their own family. It doesn't mean they no longer want to be with their parents; it’s just the natural progression of life. The same logic applies her,e the creation has grown to stand on its own.

It's a good analogy because appreciating the creator doesn't have to be excessive and keeping Bitcoin growing as it is is also part of appreciating it, even if we're not the only ones involved in the process.
In fact, today we no longer debate who Satoshi, people are more likely to talk about the reality of the asset's achievements. Bitcoin has become a potential asset and is now showing a much more developed direction with many people already achieving financial freedom through involvement.

Bitcoin's development isn't entirely dependent on its creator, which is why it has unique value and characteristics that set it apart from other investment systems. We respect the creator because with this asset, we can achieve financial freedom, but each individual has their own path to discover opportunities.

[BuckyLucky]

bitcoin is not tied to 1 person anymore, it is tied to a global community of supporters.

[Sunshine1525]

I learnt that several names have been linked to Satoshi in the past but Bitcoin is still valuable regardless of it, that's to tell you that the identity of the owner of Bitcoin doesn't really matter when it comes to how valuable the coin would be. Bitcoin grows at it's pace and through demand and supply but not the identity of the owner.

I also think that if it's later discovered that Epstein is Satoshi, it could impact the market negatively on a temporal scale but the market would still recover cause overtime Bitcoin has made people believe in it and they won't care who the owner is but how trustworthy and transparent the project has been over the years. Remember when the founder of Binance was charged for fraud but then BNB didn’t crash nor stopped to exist, if BNB can survive regardless of it's owners crime then Bitcoin would regardless of whether Epstein is the owner.

Speculation about Satoshi Nakamoto is endless. How many times have we heard of people claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto, and so on? Yet as you said, we don't even know whether Satoshi Nakamoto was male, female, or an organization, and to this day this remains a mystery.

Honestly I always get goosebumps when discussing Satoshi Nakamoto because he created Bitcoin which shook and alarmed the world's central financial system. He then vanished as if swallowed up by the earth, and this is what makes Bitcoin unique. I truly believe that in the future the technology Satoshi brought will be adopted worldwide based on the fairness and transparency of the blockchain itself.

One thing is certain considering his purpose in creating bitcoin. if Satoshi's identity were known authorities would undoubtedly force him to shut down Bitcoin or even sell his bitcoins. So it's best for Satoshi Nakamoto to remain a mystery forever.

Even if the coins that are considered to be in Satoshi's wallet are being moved today, that won't prove it's still the creator himself who made that move; it could be someone who found where the key was hidden, or it was never his wallet, just like some old woken-up wallets that were once in the past considered to be his moved coins to another wallet. There should be more to prove if someone is Satoshi or not and not just coin movement in a wallet.

You're right, if a coin is been moved from Satoshi's wallet to a wallet where the owner is popular known does not prove that the person is Satoshi. If that's the case what about those folks whose coin were moved to a different wallet, I know surely the owner might be the one to move it sometimes but I'm talking about the ones that happened without the consent of the owner, who did you think is responsible for that, the scammers right? So if such thing happened, we might assume that the scammers are the one responsible for that or it could be Satoshi as we can't tell for sure.

How can the government force him to shut down Bitcoin when they themselves, who control the world and hold all the power, cannot even do that?

Although Satoshi created Bitcoin, he handed over control of Bitcoin to the community. He has no special authority to change it, let alone shut it down, and I do not think the government is stupid enough not to know this

Furthermore, they could not force him to sell because there was no clear evidence that the wallet belonged to him or that he still had access to it. So even if his identity were revealed, nothing serious would happen.

It is unbelievable that decision of Satoshi Nakamoto to disappear became biggest strength of Bitcoin, many people continue to feel excited since there is no boss to be arrested by government. Had it been known that Satoshi was his name, then Bitcoin would have weak spot but since there is no leader, world is left to focus on computer code other than person. Satoshi has more than 1 million Bitcoin worth about 100 billion, but fact that he has not moved these coins in 17 years is proof that creator was not greedy man. Nowadays, all things, including gold, houses, are sold on blockchain since people want fairness Satoshi planned, and creator turned into symbol of freedom of all people around world. I agree that Satoshi must remain secret to the rest of forever since their silence helped Bitcoin to become Digital Gold and is owned by entire world and not just one person with their pride.

That's right. Bitcoin has become bigger than a person and is a digital system capable of running parallel to traditional finance.

message from one of the identified wallets, or to simply move some coins.
Otherwise any future claims or suggestions as to Satoshis identity is nonsense.

When transferring coin, they have to prove that they are really Satoshi. They have to provide a lot of evidence to access the wallet and claim ownership of its assets. Secrecy has made him a great person. His discovery is a milestone in the world.

[X-ray]

The most important thing is bitcoin stay decentralized and owned by no single entity to control it. Doesn't matter who's behind it the technology itself has proven to be revolutionary.

Another thing is, I think you're wasting time imagining things like this because it will never be true. The chance is very slim. One is expert in cryptography with deep understanding and excellent application, the other is not.

[rodskee]

rather he might even be trolled for seeking fame because there's nothing he might be seeking outside fame if he has to make his identity known now.

no one's going to think satoshi is fishing for fame if he was, he should have done long time ago and people respect and idolize satoshi too much to 'troll' him he might even have a warm welcome if he does come back

[Achalugo BTC]

Well blockchain started with Bitcoin. Even if Bitcoin ded, I could still hold other cryptocurrencies that adopt blockchain technology. From the start, I’ve been amazed by blockchain technology, which is why I continue to hold it. Right now, many institutions are using Bitcoin and many people already use it either as a form of payment or as an investment. So holding Bitcoin along with them is definitely an honor

It all takes for one to get the right information,  which one can still be able to hold other coins if only they get the right information.
That is why people should make research in everything they want to invest into, it will make them or give them the chance to make a right decision, which they can be able to achieve their success through it and they can be able to nativigate any challenges when they encounter any challenges or problems.
