Do you wish satoshi to be anonymous forever? vote

[Baitty]

Forever is a lot of time. I voted "no" because I'd like to know it somewhere after his/their death, and I thing we'll actually know.

Someone would have to know before his death for that to happen though.

This. If he were to be discovered before of that, I would hope that it is through his own will, though.

Anonymity is becoming quite the commodity these days.

[KimNam]

i voted YES
that was his choice many years ago to became anonymous
and that was cool
but i think if he expose himself in media, btc prices will increase
if dorian nakamoto exposed can bring BTC prices go up, how about real satoshi nakamoto?

Part of the Bitcoin magic is  the unknown developer. Knowing the identity will spoil it.

It is like finding out the magic trick, after that it just seems ordinary.

[knight22]

I hope he wrote a book about himself and will published it through the blockchain just before he dies 

[Quibbler28]

Yes, I hope he stays a mystery forever.

I've been corresponding with  a community of crypto people for over 25 years.  "Digital Cash" has been a topic that came up many, many times on the Cypherpunks, on Metzdowd, on Crypto-X, and on half a dozen other haunts where these people hang out.  

I know somebody who might be Satoshi.  I mean, I know somebody who had the skills, who had the political will and curiosity, who had the time right about then to do what Satoshi did, and who had personal ...  I think "Motivation" is one word for it but it's a very pale one considering the specific circumstances.  

And this same person had no immediate need for the money Satoshi hasn't spent, and very limited opportunities to have spent it since, both because of previous work that he's done.  And Satoshi has done things, or not done things, several times at specific moments when this person had compelling reasons for his schedule to be stressed.  

And you know what?  Satoshi's anonymous, and I totally respect that choice and I'm never going to put a specific name to my suspicion for as long as we're both alive.

I think Satoshi is NSA or something like this.
In many countries there is trend to get rid of cash.
Many ppl don't like whole "money printing" idea.
So some government had this idea: let's create digital gold to cater for those who don't like printing money.
And during the proccess... they printed even more money.
Result: users are happy, government is happy - win-win situation.
There was some stagnation, not enough money printed so they started whole Cyprus to pump BTC, mtgox bots did the rest.
Yes, I would like Satoshi to come back and reveal his identity.
But I'm 99% sure he won't.
I think there should be some bounty for his "head". And I mean like 1000 or 2000 BTC.
That would be interesting.

I hope he stays anonymous as long as he wants to. I would be curious if he ever did come forward but I doubt the man would live up to the god like status we have bestowed on him.

[feina24h]

Yes, Bitcoin is sathosi and thats it 

[picolo]

It would be nice if we know who he is in a very very long time

[waqas]

I want he live just anonymous and never appear here in this world because we love him too much as satoshi anonymous 

[miffman]

It's better for him to stay anon. He has a ton of BTC. I would keep quiet too, but at the same time I'm sure we all wish we knew who he was

[beetcoin]

i wish for satoshi to be anonymous if he wants to be, and out in the open if he doesn't want to. it shouldn't be anyone's choice but his, so why do we keep talking about this?

Not really. The currency has taken flight and Satoshi is more famous than the rest of the devs just because he is unknown. Even if he is revealed , the currency will stay afloat.

However , he will have a lot of problems to face.

He'd probably get into trouble with most governments if BTC starts superseding fiat.
And he'd suddenly be chased down by everyone , he has nearly a billion $ worth of Bitcoin.

There is absolutely nothing that will be further gained from knowing who Satoshi is, other than satisfy your curiosity.

But on the other hand, if his real identity is revealed, there is a potential for every government to have him arrested.

Safety would be a big issue. He would never be able to live a normal life. That is why I hate Newsweek and what they did to Dorian Nakamodo.

[deadley]

It will be good if he will anonymous forever, I really dont think if he reveal his Identity it will much impact on Bitcoin Communities.

[chek2fire]

My theory is that Satoshi is an AI from the future...
