Come on man, this is a no brainer. Some guy, most likely an academic, is poised to become the richest man in the world. Im not talking about his current evaluation, im talking about the long term price levels that bitcoin can achieve once we actually innovate, and not this bullshit borne of pure speculation (which is correcting). I digress.

So if you were that guy, what really would be the advantage of letting everyone know that you are? Seems to me if=t would only make you a target; people would be able to attack you as a person and undermine bitcoin. Suppose he had a rocky start; would you want to see a headline saying "Bitcoin Creator Accused of Sexually Harassing 16 Year Olds At Age 32?" (see what I did there?)

It better for this, until adoption is complete/extremely widespread, that we remain a bit mysterious as far as Satoshi. I think he realizes this, so we most likely wont hear from him.

And ignre all those that would claim to be him. That would be the dumbest move in the world, atm.

He created the "tool" to be fully anonymous, and maybe he is using it in order to have a good life with his family
I would do the same.. if i am the founder of something incredible that can help me to keep myself under the radar + half billion dollars, then of course that i would love the be under the radar too, why would you want to be famous and to see that everybody loves you?
it makes no sense because you could not live a good life, and that is not the point.
anyway, he is now rich as fuck, he does not need anything anymore..

Anyone with common sense would fly under the radar, I know I would. He proved he was not in this for a mere pump/dump, or he would have cashed out some of the >1 million coins on the chain that are his long before now.

He doesn't want to be known as he probably realised how big the bitcoin could get, and he probably want to live his life without being noticed. Or maybe he is not an individual at all.

If I were Satoshi Nakamoto, I would also at least try to hide my identity. I suppose that people would constantly ask Satoshi about upcoming hard forks. That would be pretty annoying and even the creator could make a mistake. I wouldn't be surprised if Satoshi got back if we were trying to solve some difficult problem.

Lots of reasons to stay anonymous: peace for himself and his family, influence with at least 500000 btc, money that this mountain is worth now, etc.

There could be numerous reasons, but I think it's a good idea to keep his identity separate from Bitcoin. We aren't sure of who Satoshi his past is, and lets be honest if the any government to anti Bitcoin authority got hold of his identity then they would definitely look for dirt on his past.

I Am Satoshi Nakamoto

All you people are speaking here is just speculations.

Here is the tips for you, 'Satoshi Nakamoto' is his Pseudonym. He used the pseudonym to launch the Bitcoin project.
His real brand name is Thomas Phellen. He used his metaphysical abra-ka-dabra to accomplish his work. He attracted numbers of governments secret agents and their friendly hackers who adopted the meritorious principles of Decentralised Model of Economic System and they together assisted him to do the Bitcoin market development work. Satoshi Nakamoto is one person. He has to play a drama called 'King Cobra's Tail'. Many secret agents left their job and they have become libertarian but some are just playing but Satoshi Nakamoto. Know them well. Now, Satoshi Nakamoto is his Robotic name. His real brand name is Thomas Phellen. Thomas Phellen is now thinking to .......... .
No way, I am not going to reveal what he is thinking to do now, even though I know it.

If you are in the position of satoshi, would you like to reveal your true identity if you are holding that large amount of money?? Of course not right because it will threaten your life and your relatives. That's one reason why satoshi never reveal his/her/their identity. Another is if satoshi's identity has been revealed, many people will try to find satoshi and make his/her/their life dangerous.

my secret fear is Craig Wright is satoshi...supposedly he has convinced tax folk in Australia he is ..this is why he is not in jail....he is supposedly the last alive of the group of 3
one of which was Hal Finney, supposedly...

if so, he claims he has access to most of the BTC held in a trust the 3 put up that, he will be able to open Jan 1st, 2020

if that is the case..the ass that he is .he will flush it all and watch us burn

he currently has convinced some to back him on making patents on BTC stuff etc

now only 1 out of 100 chance of him really being satoshi..but that IMHO would be a worse case scenario indeed

he hates all BTC types that do not believe he is satoshi..god help us if he really is....he ..really hates the press...for the same reason

gonna have to think hard about odds December of 2019....(scared self...shudder)

would you like to be worth 1/2 a billion dollars and deal with the rest of the idiots of the Earth?

f*ck no way

I'd keep access to say 100 million of blockchain btc that looks simply like a 'first adopter' addresses and let the rest sit in limbo too

IF I was Satoshi

(damn, may have given myself away with above post....)

If that was true I think you wouldn't put your bitcoin for tips address on profile

Or maybe you are really a mastermind behind all this and have time to look at all the small details.

Seriously, I get his behavior and would probably do the same.

see my master plan worked..you no longer suspect me....(damn, I'm clever)

He might be in prison as Dread Pirate Roberts. I was under the impression that Satoshi Nakamoto is the same man behind the silk road, that's why he vanished when the alleged DPR was arrested. Anyway, media couldn't get a hold of DPR inside the prison so I am not even sure if he is really inside. If he is Satoshi Nakamoto, there might have been an internal arrangement between him and the Fedies in exchange to his freedom. But anyway, fuck Roger Ver! He is never different from the shitty bankers.

I do not think the government will be interested in knowing and accepting him as it is increasingly pressing the government.

Hi all. Satoshi is not one person) Is a pseudonym. He appeared at the moment when the world had a crisis and needed a new impetus. In 2008, gold set a record price. And then there's Bitcoin ! I'm sure this technology was already invented and kept wealthiest individuals and families in the world such as the Rockefellers. And when they release into the world of new technologies, developments, news, medication, but do not give specific information what to do with it, and see where it leads. And as shown by Bitcoin this led again to the greed of the people, to the wealth of some at the expense of others! Having the largest number of the Bitcoin in the world these families at any time can move the world economy as they need it. And all this is just another HYIP) Shocked

Have you read the other thread here about the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto that he is already dead? He has evidences but I don't think that he got all the facts. But until now, no one even knows who he really is.
He created the bitcoin anonymously which reflected on the system, blockchain technology is the best leading now.

He didn't want to become famous because he could be contacted by people like the police he just wanted to live in peace with his bitcoins, because he has a lot of bitcoins.

He is now rich and enjoying life i think.

He made something that no one could ever imagine. And it got bigger and bigger. So everyone wants him, everyone has question for him. So if i'm in his place, i would run away.. He started something unique and everyone liked it, the history always remember his name.. Digital world = Satoshi Nakamoto

I'm sure everyone in the world will be looking for him. They will tear his life apart, including his family. Just my two cents.
