Every reasons why his past doesn't matter

[Alone055]

Well, needs make us do things we don't want to do, but there is no doubt that the character of the creator of something does affect its popularity and the usage, because if you are someone who is known for doing a lot of evil, and you decide to create something great, there won't be a lot of people willing to use what you've created if your deeds are public and everyone knows about them; the first impression is always important, and if it's what I mentioned above, the first impression of people towards what you've created will obviously be on the negative side.

When it comes to satoshi and him hiding his identity and staying anonymous, he didn't actually do it so that he can prevent himself from such things, but he did that because he was wise enough to understand that what he's creating will clash with the current financial systems since it promotes privacy and decentralization, so he knew that things won't be very well for him in case his creation gains popularity in the future.

Many of the things we use today, we don't actually know who created them but nevertheless, we still use them in spite of all, so far it is of use to us.

That's the major thing about humans. We don't always get bothered about things, the moment it delivers its aim of creation to people, every other thing will be secondary. People won't ask questions about who invented it or whether the person has a bad record with humanity. They will still gonna use it for their own good

i don’t find justifying epstein necessary because there hasn’t really been concrete evidence of satoshi being epstein himself or in any way connected to him unless i missed it

it’s just rumors and crazy theories that would likely be forgotten in a few years time. people just want the clicks now.

Of course, a person should be judged by his work, if through an invention, ordinary people can enjoy the benefits of it without any hassle and can use it completely independently, and it has always been helping people properly for a long time, then we can assume that the person who invented it is really a good person because he created it because he wants the best for everyone. I think the most important thing here is to give his invention more acceptance and express gratitude to the person who invented it.

This will be tested by time.  Indeed, knowing the virtue of the creator is very important at the beginning of the creation.  People will be fond of things created by a high moral person and then frown on the creation of the bad one.  But along the course of time, whichever proves to be the most useful and have real use case will be accepted and praise regardless of who invesnted it.

As for Satoshi keeping himself anonymous, we never knew his intention, all we have is just an assumption, while I have my personal belief why he hid himself, I can't deny the fact that sometimes it hits my mind that he is not in this world anymore.

Coming back to this again, It gave me a different thought and it was a question that is ringing in my head, what if the identity of Satoshi is revealed, would it change Bitcoin decentralized nature, will it really change anything about Bitcoin? Apart from panic that would lead to a huge sell off, what else is expected to happen to Bitcoin? If the price drops, it doesn't mean the end for Bitcoin, those that will sell during a time like that are just being scared of losing their money to the massive dump that will happen but not withstanding such fall, there are investors that will buy the bottom.

Many think about that possibilities but what I think that even if Satoshi identity will be revealed, the decentralize nature will not going to change, its consensus, rules and network is already been coded and also spread on thousands of nodes globally.

It may trigger a slight dump since I understand that maybe many people might think that Satoshi will dump his holding especially that Bitcoin price is expensive now, but if Satoshi will prove that he will not break the market and continue to do his usual decision for sure market will eventually recover just like what's common things happened with this coin. Those news will create lots of noise, but also the censorship resistant and its decentralized system for sure remains.

Criminals are prosecuted based on the crimes they committed, not for simply existing. If a criminal feeds hungry children but kills women at night, he would be prosecuted for murdering women; the act of feeding children won't be on trial, and neither will the act of feeding children be looked at as a bad thing.
It is the act that they committed that they will be prosecuted for.
So if the person who created Bitcoin turns out to be a serial killer or child trafficker, he should be jailed or killed for the crime he committed, not for creating Bitcoin.

We have had a similar conversation like this here before, and I mention few people who were awful human beings but made impactful inventions that made the lives in those fields easier.
If today, Satoshi's identity gets revealed, and later it is discovered that he committed a crime, I would personally campaign for him to face the penalty for the crime he committed, but that doesn't mean I can't use his invention.

You have noticed perfectly well that even if the creator is a villain, his invention will always be depersonalized, since the usefulness and value of the invention always have an advantage.  As an example of the invention of a small but necessary thing by a person in prison, that is, a criminal, was a toothbrush. . Society remembers only usefulness but forgets the creator. Time erases a lot, so whoever Satoshi was in his life (we all want to think only good things), his creation exists despite the history of the past, and moreover, no matter what.

The more we keep saying that we don't need to know who satoshi is or whoever is behind the creation of Bitcoin, what is being needed by us has been given already and that is in the adoption for the use of a decentralized digital network for our day-to-day activities in the financial economy without being under the control of the centralized government authorities being in charge of our money or assets.

Yes you're right about that, we have already gotten what we wanted and that's a decentralized digital network that could help us transact with those who are very far from us so I see no reason why we should be curious about finding the real identity of Satoshi. the man has done a very good job and the world is very proud of him for bringing Bitcoin as a tool against inflation I think we really need to cut him some slack, if he's a criminal as we think he wouldn't have come up with this idea if not messing things up the more by bringing bad ideas or inventing things that could harm the world, Those are the things we need to consider before talking bad against him.

I believe we have done something wrong at some point before we choose to correct our ways, and when people once did something bad but later choose to do the right thing, that will be humanity. I don't see anything bad in it.
For the statement where people are saying Epstein, we still cant accept it as fact and if he's the one that doesn't mean we're to leave Bitcoin but anyone who wants to can just do it.
