idols will never live up to everyone's expectations and nor should people idols others.
I'm sure he will read posts here, and is clearly choosing not to reply....
personally im tired of seeing people trying to guess who "he" is. It is the same as the press hounding people that dont want to be hounded....
I think to stop this "hounding" ALL members of this forum (and anywhere else) should claim to be Satoshi. This way it will help hide his ID by no one knowing who is telling the truth, even if Satoshi himself also claims to be him....
I will start of by : I am Satoshi...... and as are we all....
Best Regards
Satoshi (or Ford)
Topic: Should the Creator of Bitcoin come forward? - page 4. (Read 5996 times)
Every creator of any alternative coin is know and nothing terrible has or will happen to them.
Anyway Satoshi is know.

No! It's far better a secret 
He is probably among us.
They would have either tried to have him assassinated or get him in jail as a warning to others, if there were ever a reason for anonymity and secrecy it would be that and no I'm not joking. Going up against an empire like America publicly means becoming a criminal in their eyes so the only way you can live a normal life is by staying hidden while you fight them. As Ron Paul has said "When you have a dictatorship truth becomes treasonous" and Bitcoin is showing the truth to people of how badly fucked everything is with mathematics as well which Gold/Silver haven't been really able to do in the past.
Just no.
So what happens if someone came forward and claimed to be Satoshi, even though they really weren't.

They would be asked for proof.

I was thinking the other day how different Bitcoin would be today if Satoshi or whoever created Bitcoin came forward and took credit. If there were one person to answer questions and explain the benefits of using Bitcoin it might've caught on quicker.
this just shows that you have not read the white paper or personally grasped the concept that bitcoin potential far exceeds what satoshi first envisioned, so there is nothing more that satoshi could add to the community, then the developments the comunity have comeup with after he done his Houdini act.
On the other hand, I was also thinking about the possibility that the true creator of Bitcoin is dead or murdered. If Satoshi actually chose to remain anonymous then it would make it that much easier for him to be killed without anyone knowing. If he were famous then his every move would be watched.
this just shows you have not seen the history of conversations by satoshi and others, and that its more plausible he just moved off the bitcoin project, rather then being murdered.
Or what if it was not a single person that started Bitcoin, but a group of individuals with their own secret motives. Why would they chose to remain anonymous and for what purpose?
we already know that Gavin A, satoshi and a few others worked together to make the first QT clients. but satoshi was not the title of the group. it was the handle of a individual with a consistent British based writing style, which is more evident to be one person than a group name.
Regardless, it is strange that the public does not know who is behind the fastest growing digital currency in the world. What do you think?
who was behind the first ever printed bank note of your country? and if you could meet that person is there any information you would want to know, that maybe an economist or a over-average intelligence person, could not answer.
i personally think that the majority do understand bitcoin, the do understand satoshi's white paper and they see the potential satoshi seen, as well as the new potentials that have come to light now that bitcoin is actually in use.
I think he should remain anonymous. Just like the Stig 
I can understand why the creator has not come forward, for obvious reasons, but Bitcoin imo would be taken much more seriously to the majority of big investors if the creator was at least contactable. So I vote, yes!
i disagree. if satoshi came forward than the story about bitcoin would disappear and be replaced by a story about satoshi. just like the media did with the snowden revelations which quickly became a story about snowden, and his girlfriend, and his dog, and his lost sock, anything other than the revelations themselves.
I would like to see them come forward and say something, even if it's just as an anonymous message with proof.
This is Satoshi:
We are all Satoshi
We are behind the fastest growing digital currency in the world.
It doesn't matter who Satoshi is.

+1. Well said.
Satoshi should NOT even come forward on his deathbed. The fact that no individual or organization is behind bitcoin is the entire point. While Satoshi's re-emergence obviously would not actually change that fact, the bitcoin-uneducated would fail to understand this. There are already too many dullards out there saying Satoshi is "pulling the strings" or can "change the code" whenever he wants. Best he remains silent.
no way. these people should shut their mouths for the next 30 years.

Suppose other than creating Bitcoin, he's a complete jerk. Maybe things would actually be worse if he came forward.
In any event, it's entirely up to whoever (singular or plural) is Satoshi to come forward or not.
I voted no.
As in previous posts coming forward can ONLY lead to people trying to discredit him/ her /them.
Let us all just say ty to him/ her /them and leave it at that.

I voted no because he might end up like the former cia director. attacked credibility. 
Should the creator of Bitcoin come forward? It depends on what his goals are.
There's thousands of people to explain it now, and they can explain it just as well if not better.
