IMO you are looking at this the wrong way! Why don't you put yourself in Satoshis shoes and think of how many people,agencies,governments would want him/them.
If that's not enough,imagine what drug lords or terror groups would do with such a brilliant being like Satoshi with a gifted mind. Respect the unexpected, think through your risks.

^Exactly that. You nailed it man, enough said. Satoshi did the right move staying anonymous, I'm sure if his/their identity was known he would've been assassinated by now, that or he's hiding from the world in a high security prison in a sealed out cell for the sake of his own safety. Both those endings are horrid, lucky he/they stayed anonymous.

Definitely, as I've heard rumours from some sources that Satoshi is now currently owned 1,5 Million bitcoins and it's a damn huge number that makes people getting triggered to do criminal things against satoshi.
It's a wise move that satoshi keeps on hiding his identity and have no intention to reveal it by himself, a wise decision that not all people know.

Plus not just theft is in mind here but assault or even assassination. Satoshi is a huge public figure and loads of people associate Bitcoin with crime due to its prominence on the darknet etc. It would be wise for Satoshi to keep their identity private, but if they were to reveal their identity it could cause a huge surge in the price of Bitcoin.

Every fews months we can read about theories on who is Satoshi, but it stay theories. I remember a journalist saying he finally found who is this guy and even visited him in USA. I guess those theories will never end like the one about the illuinatis or any others occult groups. I would say, it is better for him to be hidde, otherwise some particular lobby would enjoy having his head in exchange of a couple of thousands of dollars. At least if it was me i would do everything possible to hide my ass !

If you were Satoshi, wouldn't it be cool to just roam around the city, sit in a coffee shop and look at all those people who endlessly talk about Bitcoin but don't know you are the one?

I'D LOVE THAT!

Satoshi is a Japanese man Satoshi Nakamoto who created the smallest unit of bitcoin and I think he has his own personal reason why he hid himself, and I guess its his security. Maybe now he's too old or maybe dead, it was just his legend that his name became a unit of bitcoin which everybody still using right now.

I think the name satoshi Nakamoto does not mean that his real name, maybe it is a code name to avoid identity exposed.
no one knows where he is. it seems he managed to conceal his identity

Satoshi is one of the greatest person that ever live because he is very genius to create bitcoin and now we can appreciate how good is bitcoin.

I think he hide his identity because he is afraid to be instant famous or very attractive to bad people like being murdered because he got a lot of bitcoin.

Nobody knows who Satoshi is. There is not much to do now.
To me, it's a wise way to hide his identity. It would be bad for this bitcoin if he did not hide his identity. If the satoshi had something bad to do, it would have a negative effect on the bitcoin.

Such a system should not be connected to a single person.

Satoshi or Satoshi Nakamoto is the creator of this beautiful cryptocurrency which what we are using now. I think he is hiding his identity because of security reason because we all know that he has a lot of bitcoin on his wallet and removing that mask on his face and revealing his identity is very risky decision since if he do that then people will know who exactly he is and where he lives and so on and he will become vulnerable for criminals who want to get all his bitcoin.

There are two possibilities why Satoshi hide personal identity, the first is due to deliberate. Satoshi consider bitcoin can be decentralized without any rule, then he has succeeded and this is most successful promotion in the world. Another possibility, bitcoin is excellence in cryptology, bitcoin managed to have an outstanding value of the usage ratio, if Satoshi appeared, he would be pursued by anyone in the world, including mafia and corrupt govt. They will not steal all the wealth of satoshi, but they would treat him as a moneymaker machine that never stops.

Wherever he is hes sitting on a pile of BTC Shocked

But that must be the prime reason why he is hiding his identity.
I am just wondering how Bill Gates is tolerating the donations and begging requests he must be getting everyday. Might be Bill Gates is not managing any forum directly nor he is not just dealing with the new system of currency.

BTC was made to provide ANONYMOUS transactions, so why reveal the founder's name?? It's against it's own (BTC) beliefs.
After all Satoshi might be a fake name, an alias, an internet character.

Yeah, and except all that you said.. Revealing such data is critical for your safety. There are many people targeting that guy for different things, and the reveal of him might actually turn into a bad thing: the mainstream media will probably publish headlines like "Meet the founder of the criminals' currency" which will get people mad about it and never put their interest and trust in BTC. Not a good idea to do it.

Not really.Making the transactions anonymous wasn't really the theory behind bitcoin's success.Blockchain was/is.Decentralized transactions might be another one I may add.It may look anonymous but the protocal doesn't really implement the concept in its practicality.

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

coin revlution has asked four questions at once. I am here to answer the four questions.
1. Why did Satoshi hide his identity ? It was needed to hide.
2. Has anyone seen Satoshi in real life ? Yes
3. Is Satoshi one person ? Yes
4. Or is it a community ? Not a community.

Your questions have many answers but I have given four answers.
If you want to know other answers, you can ask me privately.

As far as I know, Satoshi was not seen by anyone. I mean, it's just a character created on the internet. It's a really serious claim you say.
How did you get this information. Who saw Satoshi in real life?

probably there are many reasons why satoshi keeps his identity hidden since the last 8 years but I don't have any idea what are those things, I doubt that there could be anyone who has seen him in person as satoshi is possibly not only a one person but a group of people who were wanting to make a new way of transaction and banking and escape the old ones .

May be he have fear of exposing his identity because of developing such a system where money could be made by a computer and that would put all financial status of any country into danger. because in bitcoin system except electricity bill and initial investment money is free and if everybody start to make free money then there would financial was and depression in the world.
