Topic: Does finding out who created Bitcoin matter? - page 2. (Read 2012 times)
No it doesn't matter to me who the real person behind the alias of Satoshi Nakamoto is. If we knew his/her identity would it have improved our lives or the Bitcoin network? No I don't think so. Knowing who is behind the mask won't affect our community in any way. I prefer to stay neutral to all attempts at sensational news of the next Satoshi Nakamoto and try to focus on how the Bitcoin market is doing. Ignorance is bliss sometimes.
The person who created needs to be given the importance, at the same spending time in search of the person is waste. Its better to spend those time on bitcoin for it's further development.
Honestly no! I don't want him to be found ever. because I want him to live a peaceful life.
Once he is found, all the regulators and enforcement agencies of that country will be after his ass and he will spend his life in prison.
So I want this path braking inventor to stay safe for the rest of his life.

No it don't need to matter if we find out who created it. If he wanted that everybody knows
who he is he would say it along time ago. He think he my coin is getting popular and he wants
in the picture now.

well yeah, i first thought it was a japanese because of his name..lols.
People say it doesn't but when the creator of bitcoin hold's at least 5.5% of it's marketable supply, it's a big deal. Those coins are crossed out for a long time, if he returns the market could crash.
In my opinion, it does not matter who is the creator of Bitcoin. Bitcoin now it is an independent and decentralized currency that gradually develops, and which do not need a host .. And no one can do anything with it, I mean control.
That is what I think. The bitcoin has evolved a lot from the Satoshi days. Even if he does appear, I will treat him the same as other developers.

I've been using fiat all my life and I never bothered searching who invented it. I'm not even sure if it was even discussed to us as students back in our Economics classes. Either that or I was not paying attention. My point is not everything that we use must be deeply understood to its deepest senses. Enough knowledge on how to use something to my advantage is good enough for me.
Beyond the fact that the founder has 5% of all of Bitcoins in existence in his possession (in which case it doesn't really matter WHO has them, just that there is too high a concentration of the currency in one place), what difference does it make who created Bitcoin?
This article argues that all of the recent coverage creates an air of uncertainty that could undermine confidence in the currency (and highlights uncertainty in currency markets in general, but I'm not sure I agree: http://freemarketfx.com/bitcoin-reminder-uncertainty-currency-markets/

for me,its important thing to find out who is Satoshi Nakamoto,its matter for me because people who dont know bitcoin will ask to me about bitcoin creator,they will not accept bitcoin if they dont know about bitcoin founder and its not clear if we only mentioning about Satoshi Nakamoto without knowing his story.

it doesn't matter at all, actually i think the fact that the creator of bitcoin (satoshi nakamoto) is just an alias, or in other words an anonymous identity makes it more exciting because one of the features of bitcoin is this exact anonymity that can be achieved if anybody likes.
Voted for 'No', the identity is not important, I hope it is never found who was the person behind it, the technology is much more important then the face behind it. Moreover, if he is found, the speculations behind that he might dump his coins would affect the price. So it is for the best he stays anonymous always.
He had the option of staying anonymous - and used it, and it turned out to be great. That's what we should do when it's possible and the opposite has no pros good enough to overweigh the cons.

it doesn't matter at all, although it would have been nice to know who has created bitcoin in the first place but that would have been good back then in the beginning not now.
I would rather it stay that we dont know.
Its more fun to speculate than to just know who it is.
especially if its a few of the morons people think it may be.

I would like to know that myself. It could be the biggest mystery of 21th century. We will see about it in the following years tho.
What if we never know who was the creator of first real cryptocurrency? Was Satoshi a man, team, organisation or government cell?
I guess bitcoin market cares only about 1 Million bitcoin which Satoshi supposedly owns.

In my opinion, it does not matter and should not matter who created Bitcoin. They should be allowed to look upon their creation with pride, and see where it has gone, regardless of if we know who they are or not.
It is probably better from a political standpoint as well, as no-one will be able to corner the guy and get information on how Bitcoin works or get them to re-create the code (or develop a backdoor) in the event Bitcoin ever takes off. If they could have a normal life while having Bitcoin in the shadows, then that would probably be more rewarding than being paranoid about someone coming for you at any point, knowing who you are.

Finding out who created Bitcoin does not matter to me. As long as it doesn't turn out to have been created by some government agency.
To me it doesn't matter, but I am just worry about the safety of the real Satoshi. His safety is threatened by the fact that he holds the keys to a huge fortune... Let's stop play the "Finding Satoshi" game.
It shouldn't matter, but unfortunately it does since humans are hard wired to follow leaders, so they want to know who is the guy that started it all, and im sure they would listen to him a lot about how to make Bitcoin look like in the future, that's why we have a lot of people with interests to pass as Satoshi (the Craig hoax is a clear example)
That's a really interesting point about humans being hardwired to follow leaders, and I don't think Bitcoin (or any currency) would be best served by being shaped by any one individual.
On a separate note, how come everyone is so sure that there is no guy called Satoshi Nakamoto? How do we know he never existed, and - if he didn't - who are the photos allegedly of Satoshi actually of?
No one knows if there was one single guy under the Satoshi Nakamoto moniker or if it was a team of people, and this team was called "Satoshi Nakamoto".
All those pictures are from either other people, or computer generated. I remember one of the few "satoshi pics" I saw was of an asian guy that looked like a computer generated face
