I think you are overreacting. People will always be people, ready to gossip, talk a lot and to have many conspiracy theories, good or bad ones. That's just in a human nature and I don't think we can escape this. Especially when we don't know who our creator is. I bet this will be hot topic until Bitcoin will exist.
I have noticed though, that many people on this forum believe Nick Szabo really is Satoshi! Quite funny if you ask me!
One of the few books I've read cover-to-cover three times and keep on-hand:
The Math Gene: How Mathematical Thinking Evolved And Why Numbers Are Like GossipWhy is math so hard? And why, despite this difficulty, are some people so good at it? If there’s some inborn capacity for mathematical thinking—which there must be, otherwise no one could do it —why can’t we all do it well? Keith Devlin has answers to all these difficult questions, and in giving them shows us how mathematical ability evolved, why it’s a part of language ability, and how we can make better use of this innate talent.He also offers a breathtakingly new theory of language development—that language evolved in two stages, and its main purpose was not communication—to show that the ability to think mathematically arose out of the same symbol-manipulating ability that was so crucial to the emergence of true language. Why, then, can’t we do math as well as we can speak? The answer, says Devlin, is that we can and do—we just don’t recognize when we’re using mathematical reasoning.
