I think we all know that satoshi is the one who created with the help of other's of course,
and he hides him/herself because of all the government that is hunting him/her because of tax evasion

i don't think if he is still earning from it as a creater of it he doesn't have any problem in gaving tax to the government i think there are some other reason that we can't judge.....

He probably isn't earning from it but he probably got hundreds of thousands of Bitcoins in his wallets. I wish I had at least 10BTC since Bitcoin was $1, but I was too late at the party so I got my first ones since Bitcoin was $1100. He should have known this project will go big.

some speculations say satoshi owns about 1 million coins. but i say all of it is irrelevant, and if you wanted you should have gotten in when price was low and it is still not late.
it was not long ago when price was $200 and people were saying the same thing about wishing price was lower. and some point everyone has to stop wishing and start acting.

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

it is imperative that Satoshi hides his identity for safety reasons has other individuals might want a piece of his bitcoins or governments might persuade him to shut down the digital currency.
And its believed satoshi is a group of computer scientists who wrote the code of bitcoin...

Why are developer team not concealing their identities? The same goes for the risk developer team. If the government wants to close the bitcoin, it might ask the developer team.

Who know there are many reasons behind the scene nothing to worry about him. He has given you a great foundation in earning platform through bitcoin. It's better for him to sit ideal because once he exposes to public, definitely government will lock all his team building.

Satoshi created bitcoin to make people free from banks and do transactions without the involvement of banks. He created bitcoin as a decentralized currency, not controlled by any one. Today banks are facing their revenue losses which they got as transaction fees.Governments fear bitcoins that they cannot control any illegal transactions if done through bitcoins. In this situation, satoshi would have thought his life would be in serious threat if he revealed his identity.So, he decided to just stay behind the screen.

Perhaps he just wanted to stay out of the public press and be private in real life. Its like winning a jackpot, you should never exposed yourself because you will fear for your life. So keeping a low profile keeps you out of danger. Going public would mean giving up his privacy and paying large sum of money because of taxes.

Not many people seem to know satoshi has a user profile on Bitcointalk. You can read his posts and all topics he started.
What makes me most curious is why he suddenly ~~disappeared~~ stopped posting, half way a thread discussing Bitcoin internals.

It can also be its alias, do not think that this is a real person.

I think satoshi Nakamoto hide his identity not because he wanted to avoid taxes, but think about when people who have millions of bitcoin being exposed will certainly give a negative effect for bitcoin itself

This also gives a protection to keep the hackers off from your wallet. As the anonimity if its users can be effectively not include on this currency, the hackers weren't able to trace or get the link of your account from your identity. This is the best advantage of bitcoin, that's why more people tend to used it for trading, online transactions, and shopping online.

also give a positive effect, bitcoin has the advantages that the owner does not need to include their identity during the transaction. this provides strong protection from identity thieves, them difficult to exposed

To this day we do not know who is exactly Satoshi, and I doubt we will ever know. There is as much supposed reasons for Satoshi to hide than there is people that claimed to be Satoshi, with between those : fear for his life, him being dead, etc.

Because they are not the creators of the bitcoin, and because they are not holding the stash satoshi currently holds, so they don’t have to hide as much as satoshi needs to, besides maybe satoshi just likes to remain hidden while the devs don’t care.

OP should add this thread cause it may answer your question in the next few weeks.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/as-it-turns-out-craig-wright-actually-is-satoshi-1765953

That is a topic on baseless claim of coindesk's Craig Wright is Satoshi Nakamotto. I believe there were enough times given to Craig Wright to prove himself cryptographically, but never he makes use of them, leaving us to conclude in negative.

I guess at least monthly once we are having a topic on mystery on Satoshi Nakamotto, yet I find them interesting as I am also eagerly awaiting his revelation.

Is there any proof of life of Nakamoto since December 2010? Or did he disappear and no-one has seen him ever since?

If I were Satoshi I'd prefer my identity to be a secret. When bitcoin was only a harmless little experiment Satoshi had no reasons to worry, but now when it became big and draws big money he should remain in hiding.
People are crazy, he'd need bodyguards and security systems to feel safe and even that wouldn't be able to protect him from the government.

This can turn out to be a very good plot for a Hollywood thriller.
Satoshi's identity is revealed and now the race is between the ones who want to burn him down and the ones who want to protect him. Elon Musk might as well send him to Mars on one of his SpaceX rockets Cheesy

You could call it Cryptoraker.

So no-one has proof of life since then?

we all know that he is the creater of bitcoin and i dont think it is a community or group of people i think he is just one person and i dont think any one of the user knows him or knows his identity...... i think when he create it he didn't expect about its too much success so, i think thats why he leave it.......

Why did Satoshi hide his identity?

I think there are plenty of reasons for that. Some people just don't want fame and attention of the press and the government to their life. Another reason is that creating a currency and thus earning a lot of money might be not actually legal and so some government might even put him into jail or at least demand some crazy taxes. And being a mystery for everybody is more interesting than being somebody everyone knows, I guess, because thus you become legendary.

yea i agreee with with you. Many people dont want to show off their talents and dont want fame and name to be published among pulic and also he might ahve other reason to hide his identity.
