Satoshi has another name- Central Intelligence Agency
You know the ones who created alqueda and Isis? Yes they love that dream where one day everyone will have just one digital currency address and you can not hide anything from the mass enslavement and taxation scheme they dream of

But it includes all sorts of collateral information that might be helpful. There are quite a few links so it's a lot to read, but there is a trail there. Outside of that thread, I think that the perplexcity connection is the most ignored yet most compelling lead. Card number 256 may be a serious clue.

IMO, everyone using Bitcoins is Satoshi, I would never trust anyone coming up and saying that they are "Satoshi Nakamoto" because Satoshi would never show his face publicly as the concept behind the invention of Bitcoins is anonymity, and if the maker themselves break the rules, how could he expect his innovation to keep their words?

Nah, I wouldn't use that to start your Satoshi investigation.  That's just a thread about that Dorian Nakamoto crap.  About the only interesting thing related to Dorian was his one-time proximity to the late, great Mr Finney.  

Here is a thread of threads that may answer many of your questions. It is an accumulation of all the facts and speculations along with the words from the entity theirself: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/satoshi-nakamoto-is-satoshi-nakamoto-504182

Also, it's possible that he hold large amounts of btc as a creator of it and if his identity is revealed, he may become a victim of terrorists and criminals that want to get to that btc amount. Then, governments can investigate him or get him to manipulate the bitcoin as it's creator or simply to make him help them create the "alternative bitcoin" and push that one to the people who aren't into bitcoin already.



There can be a lot of things that can happen to him, but probably the most, his private life would be destroyed and he obviously doesn't want that and honestly, I wouldn't be revealing my identity if I were a creator. You know you've created something big and made an impact, so enjoy the profit you've made living the life as you were with that much of a media attention or anything else that could disturb your private life in the way you don't want it to.

this is why I thnk wright discredit himself. he make all the press think his degree fake.  That Vlad guy posted transcript of wright and the dregree is on the uni
so real
wright make all think it fake
he make him drop away

he know he as a gambling past and he is out of media now

why patent if he has money. Ayre is a billionaire - so that is a stupid comment. people do not stop when they have what you think is a lot
why would wright stop

A few reasons immediately spring to mind:

Not everyone is interested in fame. Fame is something which has driven many straight into the waiting arms of addiction and eventual death. The founder of Bitcoin is almost guaranteed, as a public figure, to be famous, something some of us would not wish on our worst enemies.

The moment we positively identify the creator of Bitcoin, we open the door to the details of the creator's life being used to discredit the currency for financial purposes. Putting yourself in a situation where your misfortune and the slandering of your good name can result in a windfall of potentially millions of dollars for the right individual is not entirely wise by some thinking. Similarly, if there are events in Satoshi's life(or lives) which could cause scandal, those wishing to see the currency fail (or drop in value for their own financial ends) would be strongly motivated to dig into said events.

When a person is linked to a work, the work is seen as a subset of that person, rather than an entity in and of itself. Satoshi may simply want Bitcoin to make it's mark on it's own name. Furthermore, there is a school of thought where good works should not be done for personal credit or glory, but should be done for their own sake. If Satoshi is of this school of thought (and certain elements of the structure of Bitcoin could lead one to believe this is possible, even likely), he may simply feel that the glory/fame would cheapen the value of what he considers a gift to mankind.

These are just a few of the reasons Satoshi may wish to remain anonymous. There are plenty more potential motivating factors, but without knowing more about Satoshi, it's anyone's guess which contribute to the decision to remain anonymous.

I dont know the real reason why did satoshi hide his identity also i never seen satoshi in real life since before. But is it that important to know who satoshi really is? I mean is that really big deal for us to meet and even talk Satoshi in real life? Because for me it doesn't matter if you've already met Satoshi or not as long as there is one "person", Satoshi (i think) who invented bitcoin and thats the thing that i would focus and say to the one who invented this "THANK YOU".

Yes,satoshi would have thought that he would face serious threat from banking sectors since his creation is to be the worst nightmare for bankers.He is a single person.He just wanted to free people from depending on the banking sector.

Well, that's because of "dark" connections within wikileaks, the CIA's escalated interest, and no definitive ruling in the Liberty Dollar case which was being followed closely since 2009.  The March ruling was a signal to completely move on, and it was apparent that the project had become, more or less, autonomous by that point.

Apparently on April 23, 2011 satoshi emailed several of the devs and said he was moving on "to other things" so this would line up nicely with the "March of 2011" conviction date.  However he had already stopped posting in bitcointalk a few months before that.  His last post was in mid-December 2010, where he mentioned he was going to work on "more complex ideas."  That doesn't seem to fit in with the NotHaus timeline as well though.

Satoshi Nakamoto didn't want anybody to know who they were so they hid their identity. They were afraid that what they were doing might be construed as being illegal because they were paying close attention to the "National Organization for the Repeal of the Federal Reserve and the Internal Revenue Code." After von NotHaus was found guilty of minting his own currency in March of 2011, Satoshi finally decided it was time to move on to other things for good. The whole bloody project became too hard to hide after wikileaks got involved!

satoshi did not call them satoshis

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Satoshi_(unit)

they got called this later on

Thats why he remain anonymous after all this years and as you said if his invention is capable on hiding transactions and its features for sure himself is also considered since its his creation which means the owner and creator would be the same.No one know on where is satoshi but one thing is for sure he/shes still alive and watching his creation grow.

Very much possible but he left the community before bitcoin caught huge value.



Well this is possible as well but IMO you can't ace at everything, he created a robust validation system coz he was very good it, which does not mean he was ace at being anonymous.

The man behind the alias was a genius and if he could create something like bitcoin do you think he is not capable of hiding his tracks ,if you are the best in anything you can by pass the rest.Many hackers did tried to hack his accounts but they were unable to track him and that is a testament of the measures he took to hide his identity.

Yeah Satoshi created the bitcoins thats why he make the bitcoins smallest unit after his name as Satoshi. No one knows his identity. I think he might be dead because if he was alive he would have come before the world.

Correct, and maybe his reason why he just vanished into thin air is because he doesn't want attention that much, he hates people asking him about things so much, he hates to be in the crowd with the flashes of the cameras all around him. But still, nobody knows what is his true reason why he hid his identity, as of now, all we can do is to support on his decision. Who knows someday, when the right time comes, Satoshi Nakamoto will reveal himself because it is needed.

Maybe try looking it up if you haven't gotten enough info from the replies here... But in simple terms he created bitcoin and from what i understand left the bitcoin world. No one knows who he is or where he lives and I'm sure it has a lot to do with privacy
