Why did Satoshi hide his identity? Has anyone seen Satoshi in real life?
Is Satoshi one person? Or is it a community?

He or satosi hide himself and do not want to show his true identity because he does not want to be a target of people who do not like him because he or satosi is the creator of bitcoin, that's one reason why he hid his identity

Satoshi is the creator of bitcoin and as we can see now bitcoin has a very high price at this moment so if he/she/they shows his/her/their true identity in public, it will cause a great danger into his/her/their lives. Until no one as in no one knows satoshi's true identity but the only think we all know is satoshi nakamoto is a pseudonym and a genius one. Thanks for satoshi in creating this digital currency for us.

the bitcoin system requires many different field expertise. it would be funny to expect a single person to be an expert in so many different areas.
to me, satoshi comprise from people with different areas of expertise.

It is also possible that Satoshi Nakamoto knew some academics who could answer some (carefully worded?) questions when he had them. He definitely stayed awake in whatever college-level economics class he took.

satoshi is a bitcoin maker or a bitcoin inventor, he hides his identity because he could be the target of an irresponsible person, he just wants to keep himself from a person or a person like that.

I think shatoshi hide his identity for his sefty.because he is the owner of this electric technology and I think he has lot of coins.

Is this for real? Is it just me or are nearly all the responses here just shit posters on signature campaigns or profile padding?

It's not just you, but remember, this forum is part of Satoshi's legacy too Cheesy

Maybe that was by design though... to bury the origins under a mountain of shitposts Lips sealed

In my opinion we don't know until now if who is Satoshi, because he wants her life have privacy and to protect herself. He is the person who create bitcoin and become success, and right now he is happy and proud to see that bitcoin is successful around the world. Satoshi is hiding his identity because he wants also give opportunity to the people to earn and invest in bitcoin. Until now we don't have any idea who is Satoshi and why he is hide his identity and that questions he is answers soon.

In my opinion Satoshi is a group not a single guy and the reason why Satoshi has to hide the identity because he's Bitcoin creator so maybe he's holding a huge amount of Bitcoin, I think, so if anyone know who is Satoshi they will try to find out the way to stolen this amount of Bitcoin or trying to take advantage of Satoshi to ruin Bitcoin.

Here's to hoping that your word-spaghetti post passes muster in fulfilling you sig commitment.

You have literally answered your question with your question. We have no idea who Satoshi is. That is what generally happens when geniuses hide every trace that they ever existed after refashioning the world do economics and making his currency flourish for a decade. Why did Satoshi hide his identity? Well, that also is not known. Perhaps he doesn’t like media attention or something like that. I have no idea why he didn’t reveal himself to the world. No one knows? Did anyone know him in person? Well, you could ask the early devs and people you were a part of this forum in the very beginning. Is Satoshi one person or is it a community? This also is not known. Everything about Satoshi is very mysterious and hidden.

Well then, maybe the reason nobody stepped forward to face everyone as Satoshi is because of this. Maybe it is because of the crowd wanting everyone to know him/them and to get a better view of their world and what it is like. Everyone is making out a big issue over his identity just because he/then remains unknown until now, well then, what more if he/they really introduced themselves as the creator of bitcoin. Don't you think there will be a bigger crowd than this to entertain, to explain into, and to handle?

No one really knows the truth. So let's just keep it as a mystery. There is a beauty in what is unknown. Let's just acknowledge that he/they, indeed is like Prometheus and has given us all, mankind, a gift, which is bitcoin. Case closed.

I think that the legends about Satoshi seem to be a really effective marketing technique Wink

This “secret” attracts a lot of new people.

How you do anything is how you do everything..

1.5 million bitcoins is equal to 9 bn USD.
People kill for less.

If i were Satoshi and i envisioned the potential of bitcoin to be where it is, i would have done what he did.
Also for bitcoin to be trully decentralised, Satoshi had to stay anonymous. His anonymity is critical to the identity of bitcoin as a trully decentralized cryptocurrency.

OP, ask yourself: if you invented competition to the traditional banking and monetary system, would you like your identity to be known?

Exactly. And on top of that, he has at least half of million bitcoins in his wallet. Imagine what this amount could do if it fell into someones malicious hands?

Satoshi Nakamoto is the name used by the unknown person or persons who designed bitcoin and created its original reference implementation. He was the father of Bitoin. Maybe the reason why he hide his identity is to protect itself from other because internet now can easily hack some maybe he was trying to hide himself so that hackers can not know its identity or information about him that can use to steal bitcoin. We know that in digital currency can easily hack by expert hackers because it uses internet to work. It is also possible that it was a community but i am pretty sure that he was a person.

I think that's only because he wants to live free , he hide his identity for the long time because he just didn't want to make his name popular in the sense that it may disturb him from being someone who lives independently and peacefully . I think he created bitcoin because he wanted to change something in the world not to be popular for his own sake.

He is a very intelligent person, if it were a group of people at least one would have already spoken, but nothing, nobody is pronounced, my opinion was a person who maybe died and really deserves a prize for resolving an economic problem that has more of 1000 years....

The owners of the banks hate me.

Nobody Know who he is or he even exists or not. Only Satoshi Nakamoto, himself, can unfold this mystery. I don't think there is any person called Satoshi Nakamoto, Developers just created a propaganda, But now everyone is looking for real Satoshi, they can't say it is all lie.

I agree that nobody knows whose person is that and he don't even showed up on tv or had any interviews like those prominent persons. All I know that those devs around the world just made him a myth for all who knew bitcoin so far and that name satoshi really became so popular in terms of bitcoin unit. The smallest unit of bitcoin now a big time profit for every trader, because every satoshi counts of all trades they've been a part of specially buying and selling the unit satoshi is always a part of every transactions of tradings particularly on altcoins tradings.

Bitcoin is the currency of this age

I see SATOSHI as an angel sent from the other world to deliver pauper from the bondage of poverty,he is an unseen being, sent to give voice to the voiceless in the global world, I can imagine Satoshi somewhere smilling at what he deliver to the world,without any permission or government interferance,the only coin accepted globally officially and unofficially.
