I'm with adamstgBit - it really doesn't matter who he is.
If anything - it'll lead to instability. Right now we've no idea who he is. He's almost godlike (not necessarily a good thing).
If we discover he's just a human being who eats, defecates, parties, cries, farts and is altogether human - we might just find a way to discredit Bitcoin because we disagree with him being a Mormon or that he enjoys deer hunting, etc.
Better we leave things as they are, that way Bitcoin stands on it's own merits.
Who knows? Maybe he knew this all along and he knew that disappearing was a requirement to it's success.

We are behind the fastest growing digital currency in the world.

Right 
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 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.
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.
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?
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?
