Satoshi's still around. He's just working on another coin at the moment.
Nah, why would he do that?

Just following the standard he or she even still remains as much a mystery to us as always
Satoshi isn't a he or a she, it's an IT. A genderless Grey alien that came from Andromeda to save us all from the the evils of Illuminati fiat currency
He got some feedback from the crypto forums before the white paper.
People so want to believe that it was a community because in this day and age individual accomplishment is evil.

Think this is just majestic plural.Or just a way to cause confusion about he being a single person or a group.

Yes i agree scientific papers must not use "I" but that does not exclude the word "we" meant a team.
True, it doesn't necessarily exclude it. It just doesn't say anything meaningful about the solo/team matter one way or the other.
It's the standard in academic publications to use "we" instead of "I" even if there is just a single author. The fact that "we" is used instead of "I" in the Bitcoin whitepaper says very little other than that Satoshi used an academic writing style, which is already obvious from other parts of the paper.
We +1 this! (I was seriously taking a wee when I type that... now I'm pooping, and don't ask me why I typed pooping instead of shitting, for I don't haveth a clue)
We are Satoshi.
We live here:
We live here:
Satoshi has never written "I have proposed or I have done".
First e-mail from Satoshi:
"I've been working on a new electronic cash system that's fully peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party."

So they are a team not a person?
Yes, as simple as that.
So they are a team not a person?
Just counted how many times the word "WE" is written in the original white paper and it is 20 times.
Satoshi has never written "I have proposed or I have done".
Then why should we still think Satoshi is a single person.
It must definitely be group hence "WE".
what do you think....
