I don't think if Satoshi returns, he's going to hold any significant influence in the community except honourary presence. The landscape has changed significantly affect he left, this is not the Bitcoin community he left also he has  not been working on the project for a long period of time so his understand of the scenario will not be complete and will be wrong for him to rely on the noise in the news about his baby BTC

I guess if a walkin problem can be resolved, and may be terminated due to some development that can not be overcome, perhaps we should go back to satoshi. Well, he knows how bitcoin workmanship, and I think he is the one who best understands about it. so, satoshi can solve the problem, by making bitcoin be better again.

A lot of the issues bitcoin faces are like the y2k bug.

They're blown out of proportion.

Sometimes by those who want to takeover bitcoin or influence matters to suit their own agenda.

i wouldn't even call them "Issues" because what you are referring too are mostly FUD that some people with clear agenda spread everywhere.

we are facing some issues with bitcoin, but there is nothing serious and nothing to worry about, but these certain people use it to their own advantage, and then take full advantage of lack of knowledge that some new users have and fulfill their agenda.

If bitcoin right now is facing a lot of problems that is very normal, and in my opinion we don't need Mr. Satoshi for us to help or resolve the pending trials now about in bitcoin, because the value of BitcoinBTC became high without the help of the founder or creator instead the community of bitcoin had their unity to one another to patronize the unique system that bitcoin has.

There are too many risks for him to ever reveal himself. He created this currency and vanished, leaving the project (probably) unfinished. There are altcoins that are getting updated and Bitcoin never did - it's like this since the release of it. But it was well thought so it could rise in time. It's used by criminals and the FBI, NSA and CIA are trying to control it but it doesn't always work. Revealing yourself as being the creator of a currency that's said to be used for criminal activity isn't a good idea, trust me.

So drug designers, gun inventors, game developers and their kind should always be hiding too?

I guess the mentioned types have wreaked more damage overall than Satoshi could ever do. After all, Bitcoin doesn't kill anyone nor does it turn them into drug or game addicts (there might be Bitcoin addicts, of course, as with almost anything). Though I know the message, with Bitcoin he threatened the very foundation of government itself, he delivered probably a devastating blow to one of its pillars, i.e. state money known as fiat. But Bitcoin still doesn't do any harm itself, so the authorities will have hard time explaining if they go after him or try to criminalize him

Satoshi is creator of idea behind bitcoin actually idea of blockchain network. And we don't need him to come back to solve the current problems like scability and block size as there are enough devs behind who can do this easily, but as bitcoin is controlled by community so it require majority of community decision to do anything.

If there is confusion and ego on the board,it is high time the creator present himself to sort these kind of issues, People do get selfish with the role they got considering they are the early adopters,that does not even mean you dont need the creator to indulge in the further developments.

I don't think it matters even if Satoshi returns to the forum or not. What is done is done

I'd rather say what's lost is lost. If someone loses his influence, there is no way back in most cases. But that's not what Satoshi himself seems to be looking for (provided he is still alive and doesn't rot in one of the secret prisons operated by the CIA). Remember where one of the Bitcoin lead developers went right about time Satoshi disappeared?

As cardinal Richelieu aptly noted, treason is only a matter of dates

I guess it was just a part of the anonymity that bitcoin provides its users with. I believe the bitcoin environment can develop even without the founder's help and it should not be very difficult for others to follow.

With Bitcoin facing pending problems of scaling and malleability, developers are facing issues as whether to soft or hard fork Bitcoin. Are Bitcoins issues solveable by the current developers and community or must we pray for the founding father to return and help us as the only hope?

There`s no need for Satoshi to return.

All the issues around bitcoin can be solved by the community and the developers.

We aren`t that desperate to pray for Satoshi to return.

and what do you think satoshi should do? I think you are mistaking satoshi with god or a godlike figure Smiley

yes satoshi was the one who created bitcoin and is brilliant enough to come up with this complicated code and technology called blockchain but if we give satoshi's opinion more value than the rest of developers and also other people using bitcoin then we are centralizing bitcoin with our own hands

As I already said, the return of Satoshi could only make existing disagreements stronger. On the other hand, the Bitcoin blockchain itself is the ultimate example of centralization. There is only one authentic instance of it existing at any given moment, and it seems quite natural and well justified...

So it might not hurt to have a central figure who would serve as an impartial arbiter in disputes or arguments within the community

He left a good thing to us. Let us just figure it out rather than looking for him again to just fix this things that maybe he did know would happen also.

Bitcoin has been very fine ever since he's gone.
I don't think we need Satoshi to solve these problems.
I believe there are already some contributors who understands the bitcoin very well even beyond what Satoshi has reached.
All these years we depended on them, so let's just go on with that.

Bitcoin is better without satoshi around.  if he was still working on bitcoin it would become all about him.  and to be honest with all the great things satoshi came up with it wasnt perfect early bitcoin was full of bugs and i think there is some really superior people working in bitcoin today.

You need to honestly think of the type of person that created Bitcoin, and why they did it. 
They wanted an anonymous, decentralized monetary system.
They know enough about computers and cryptography to do serious programming. (So they have a way to make money already.)

This is not the type of person who did this to become famous, or get rich.
They did this because it needed to be done.

plus a lot changed since he is gone. i do not know i he could help that much. it would just add another opinion. his opinion would surely have some weight, bur i do not know if he would be able to make the best choices. many would most likely try to influence him or use him for other reasons. i think it would bring more problems that help.

(Well maybe they realized they could make some money but definitely not to become famous.)
