Whoever satoshi is, it may not be one man. Some Russian had to be involved here. C'mon now. They know they can't top te USD with their currency, so let's advocate a universal one that
Everyone will accept, ergo crush the USD. Kind of an 'if I don't win, no one wins.'

But who knows. There is so much speculation. Rumors. This and that. I love it. The mystery fuels the excitement. Just think how lame thing would be if we all knew who satoshi was? Game over.

Not to mention all the unwanted pestering he would get from the press. No one wants that. Trust me. Keep it stealthy. There are some guns out their scrambling to get a lock on you. Fuck them.

Linus is too old.  Satoshi I assume was in his 20s.  These type of things are created during the peak of one's life.

The peak of one's life is different for different things. In your 20s you just can't see all the possible difficulties, cobwebs and outcomes in questions regarding lives of others and even your own life for that matter. Creation of a completely new type of money rightly belongs here because it can dramatically change your whole life...

Your assumption of Satoshi's age is different from the people who actually worked with him.

Linus Torvalds came up with Linux first version when he was 21.
