Define good or evil.
My guess is, it's the US gov preparing for a post-USD world with them holding some 50% of the worlds money reserve again. For me that's damn evil as I don't see any chance of getting rid of the military industrial complex if that's the case.
If you work in the US "defense" (only one " for brevity) sector, that's damn good as your employer will not run out of wars for the next 100 years. If you are into Bitcoin for the profit, that's damn good as there is no way Bitcoin could be stopped by any Fed or gov or anything. If you think "honest money" can only be better than fiat because the banks can go die finally, no matter the fact that some organisation owns half of all of this oh so honest money, then it's good.
These thoughts make it hard for me to put all my weight behind the white knight Bitcoin saving us all from evil fiat. It's not black or white. The idea is good and Crypto-Money is here to stay but I doubt some provable non-gov version would ever survive that long.
Edit: Ok, I picked "evil plan" just to see what the others picked and I can't believe 70% think that it was a single person! Is this forum run by the NSA with tons of sock puppets?

Satoshi Nakamoto is an anagram for "i am NSA, took oaths"
Make of that what you will.
Make of that what you will.
can't decide which applies more for me:
or
i guess i'm leaning on #2 due to its caption
Why does it have to be good or evil for it to be a government plan, can't it just be some gray area?
Difference is this:
1. Either it's some govt plan for whatever good/gray/bad reasons.
2. Or he/she is a single smart person working in NSA or another place that hire many smart cryptographers and hackers. He/she wants to change the world by releasing Bitcoin, but can be prosecuted for espionage by his/her own employee. Also, if people find out that Bitcoin is made by a someone in NSA, they might not trust it very much.
himself/herself 
I think he is working for NSA like organization or may be part of this

I doubt the official story of the lone anonymous hacker. Time may tell.
I'm guessing he wouldn't degrade himself with any of those organizations

he did enough solo mining to be through by now...for all we know there is someone who works for bitcoin full-time who happens to be him and its a schizophrenic episode to be satoshi.
There are generally 3 options that people speculate about: either Satoshi works for something like NSA (in US, UK or other country), or he/she is an academic, or some independent cypherpunk. Option about NSA is two-sided: either Bitcoin is an evil conspiracy against mankind, or it's a creation to save the world by someone in the knowledge within a well-funded government agency.
What's your speculation?
