The more I learn about Bitcoin, the more respect I have for its creator.

Satoshi was/is a genius, one of the most supremely gifted innovators of the last 100+ years. He was/is one of the greatest human minds ever in my opinion, his genius will one day be revered by all, not just people invested in and involved with Bitcoin.

[SamReomo]

I do not think Satoshi is a single person, but nobody knows that. What if they are groups of knowledgeable people. This is what people will think would have likely happened.

Most people still think that Satoshi wasn't a single person but no one can prove that because if we read posts of Satoshi's profile then we can understand that those posts were written by a single person, however still many people thing that one person can't have such level of smartness. I personally think that Satoshi might had a team where they worked together to make Bitcoin, but that's just my understanding, from the facts we can see that Satoshi was a single person not a team.

Whether Satoshi was a single individual or not, to me, the idea and progress of Bitcoin is nothing short of a masterpiece.
Although, the success of Bitcoin was built on failed technology of cryptography, POW, P2P networking, the result is so far amazing and flawless for the years it has existed that it even continues to evolve to meet modern demands.

What I would consider as Satoshi's greatest stroke of genius is his disappearing act. No trace, no sign, no proof of who he was. Hence, Bitcoin became completely decentralized and in the hands of those who run the nodes, mine the blocks and hold the keys.

One thing I think needs to be made clear here, Bitcoin didn't just appear out of nowhere.  Satoshi reviewed all previous failed attempts to build an electronic cash system and identified their problems.  He knew exactly which problems needed to be solved to succeed in this.

It may have been a single person, he did not have to invent the entire mechanism in itself from scratch, there was years of work done in crypto systems, distributed systems, even the concepts like the Proof-of-Work mechanism had already been around for years before 2008.  The brilliance of Bitcoin was putting all those technologies, economics, and game theory components together to create an effective and seemingly flawless system.

Satoshi whoever he/she/they are did really a good job in creating bitcoin. Because they've made an excellent job on how they've created it.

From the numbers, to technicalities, to security, features, halving, etc. All of its were made very well by them.

A very genius that doesn't want to be recognized in person by just through the pseudonym that has been left before they left.

That's why everything we have learned and gained from bitcoin, let's give some credit to Satoshi because without his genius invention, we will have no opportunities to learn about bitcoin and make profit from it. Satoshi, whether he's a single person or a group of smart and genius individuals, the name Satoshi will always have a special part on us and on our future profits with bitcoin.

And I won't hesitate to share to my grandkids how amazing Satoshi is because bitcoin is great, and so is its creator.

[AmoreJaz]

A lot of people lean toward to the theory that Satoshi was a group exactly for this reason. Combining deep C++ knowledge with Austrian economics, game theory, and applied cryptography is almost unheard of for a single brain.

And all that without giving up. Most people would have given up the first year trying to do this. Satoshi was relentlessly trying from 2008 to 2011.

We may not know the truth behind the creation of bitcoin but we can always be grateful that it was created and launched to the public. And with its current value, people are trying their hands on it.

Maybe it’s because I’m just an ordinary person that I’m having a hard time fully grasping and internalizing this

This is not just the case for you, because everyone who learns about bitcoin gradually becomes curious to know even more about it. You can still see that there are a lot of discussions about the creation of bitcoin, but the interest in knowing how Satoshi created bitcoin keeps growing. Such an important thing like bitcoin was created so perfectly that it has become popular all over the world. An even more surprising thing is that the crypto world cannot even be imagined without bitcoin.

[X-ray]

It is astonishing seeing Bitcoin as a masterpiece and one of a kind.

Satoshi somehow also understand that true decentralization and capped supply will be more relevant than ever in the digital cashless society.

Seeing how centralized financial institution like banks and financial service like Paypal easily freeze your money and fiat with its high inflation, while Bitcoin offers you true decentralization without censorship and capped supply is revolutionary.

A genius that only come maybe every hundred year.

[Thawson]

Maybe it’s because I’m just an ordinary person that I’m having a hard time fully grasping and internalizing this, I don’t know.

I understand the sentiment, extraordinary achievement often looks impossible in hindsight. Bitcoin itself was created from decades of prior research. Satoshi stood on the shoulders of many cryptographers and computer scientists before him. The most fascinating thing about satoshi wasn’t just the amount of knowledge he seemed to have but the ability to bring ideas from different fields together into one coherent system.

Bitcoin wasn’t the first attempt at digital currency. cryptography, proof of work, digital cash concepts and other building blocks already existed but no one was able to successfully put these pieces together such that it solved the double spending issue without the introduction of a trusted third party. Come 2008 Satoshi published the Bitcoin white paper and the rest is history.

Whether Satoshi was one extraordinary individual or a small team, the ability to connect all those ideas into a decentralized system that has continued to operate for well over a decade is nothing short of genius. But that’s the thing about generational talents: we don’t see them often because combining that level of knowledge, creativity, and execution is extremely rare.

It's really such an amazing creation and an unbelievably genius creator who is able to build Bitcoin. Regardless if it's a team/group or a single person who created Bitcoin, it's undeniable that it takes a lot of understanding and expertise to understand the system and economy behind it.

There are a lot of smart people out there, but there are only fewer genius minds who can create or build something that could change thousand of lives. And since we don't know who Satoshi is, we also don't know what else he brought to the world aside from Bitcoin. Genius people don't just stop after creating one thing. Even scientist or researchers don't stop after successfully inventing or discovering something... The more you think about these things, the more you become curious about Satoshi.

We still don't know if satoshi Nakamoto is a person or a group of people but there has never been where it's stated that "we are Satoshi" so I believe that he is one person, he also has a forum account on here, using the same name.
Bitcoin is the best thing to ever happen to humanity, something that if a politician has the power to do he will never do it, because politics is taking control over everything, it's why I don't believe the rumour that FBI is involved with creation of BITCOIN, that's a nonsense FUD.
The issue I have with developers is how they can't learn from Satoshi Nakamoto, if OP could feel this way I bet it's same story with almost everyone who is into Bitcoin, but why can't other developers take same step like Nakamoto did?

The saying, the statement "We are Satoshi" was not said by people who claimed that they're Satoshi Nakamoto as founders of Bitcoin but from people who are Bitcoiners and I see it's somewhat right to say so.

If you have bitcoin, use Bitcoin blockchain, you can say you're Satoshi Nakamoto and there are many people like this in Bitcoin community, so they can say "We are Satoshi Nakamoto". Saying so does not need to mean they are the Bitcoin project's founders.

theymos, the forum admin has his own thinking and theory about the Bitcoin founder(s)

My current feeling on Satoshi's identity is:
 - Sassaman is a very bad candidate. If this is their conclusion, then they totally failed to do proper research.
 - 50% chance it's someone nobody's ever heard of, and nobody will ever figure it out
 - 35% chance it's Hal Finney. (Over time, I've moved more probability into this category.)
 - 10% chance it's someone else in the Bitcoin-verse
 - 5% chance it's a group within the CIA

Developing such a near-perfect money is something that blows my mind. Scholars would keep studying how Satoshi put together different principles to come up with Bitcoin. He was able to identify the loopholes of existing digital cash concepts and cryptographic protocols like eCash, b-money, Hashcash, and others. This assisted him in building a functional cryptocurrency.
