I believed that satoshi nakamoto was not only one i think they're kind of group who developed bitcoin. and also I think they're not revealing who they're because they have a lot of money right now since wikipedia says that they owned one million bitcoins. On a One million BTC If satoshi nakamoto sell all their bitcoin, then the market will definitely crash.

why do you think satoshi nakamoto kept his identity as a secret?
The question is, is Satoshi Nakamoto even real?. Real in terms of a single person. I've read some articles and some claims that "Satoshi" is actually a group of devs and not just a single person. Anyway, whoever he/she is or whoever they are, crypto community is surely grateful that a bitcoin was created and digital currency is continue evolving

If you were him, would you reveal yourself? The world is so cruel. There are a lot of people who want to steal to you. It is also a good strategy because it creates an interesting story behind the developer of bitcoin. I know there would be time when he will reveal himself and bitcoin will face the highest demand in its history.

Satoshi Nakamoto kept his identity a secret because he wanted to stay anonymous and look how much good that has done compared to coins with devs that aren't anonymous.

maybe he's hiding his identity more because for security reasons, because we know many countries are banned bitcoin, that means many people in the government do not like him, so from that he prefers to hide

Perhaps because sometimes being a famous person is not very fun. Being famous should be ready to be visited by journalists and continue to be thrown with questions wherever we go. And perhaps Satoshi is not ready for that so he prefers to keep his identity secret. Unpopular life is certainly more free.
Satoshi may not really exist. We have no confirmation. Only guesses.
Well, then who had sent BTCs to Finney? With whom Gavin A. had talk to? Sure there was someone. The real question is whether it's a single person or some group.

For the mere fact that he could create something as intelligent as this that could only be cracked by a computer yet to be built despite the fact that he does not have the same himself, then I would want to go underground because of that. Satoshi create a liberation for the financial industry and this is something he did not because he wants to be listed on Fortune 500 or to get the Nobel (in which I think he deserves one if he had wanted it but because of the threat it serves against the interest that matters, he might be denied and that is another reason to hide). In the face of all this, lets all remind ourselves as we appreciates this fascinating invention, lets be mindful of the one who made it possible without claiming any fame or glory in that regard.

i doubt that Satoshi Nakamoto is not a single person like the one who create the Ethereum crypto currency, Mr. Vitalik Buterin whose creation as popular as bitcoin rank second in market capitalization. I doubt that this compose of a team who develop bitcoin for anti-hyper inflation of world economy , or we just simply called it the Nakamoto group, and maybe the original Nakamoto group was disbanded due to the conflict of some development on which side they give their support its either on the business side or to the masses. As we all know the current situation of bitcoin, thereare so many attempts to kill bitcoin, you may hear something like forking, Bitcoin Cash,Bitcoin Gold, Segwit2x or chain split and network split. If Mr. Nakamoto was a real person and he faces many problems of bitcoin, he would say that "being rich gives me a lot headaches".

why do you think satoshi nakamoto kept his identity as a secret?
Because he was aware if the BTC succeed it will be pain in the ass to many "powerful" people.
I just hope he did it all well and now he's enjoying the growing popularity of his "child".

why do you think satoshi nakamoto kept his identity as a secret?
I think i have already crossed a topic in this forum similar to this one before. Well, in my own and humble opinion, Satoshi Nakamoto's identity has kept secret so that no one might kidnapped him and force him to run a script that would shut his self-made digital currency. Or maybe, he will be forced to make a new coin similar to bitcoin that would somehow take bitcoin's position as the alpha of all cryptocurrencies.
Well, but who knows? Satoshi Nakamoto is a group and not just one person.

I think that's for Satoshi's manner and privacy as he created decentralize and anonymous currency that is now dominating the crypto market, that is for his own safeness and security to his private life as we can say that he is one of the richest person through out the world but who knows if he still alive or not and what project or system he is currently involved, he have an account here in Bitcointalk but the last activity he posted last December 2010.

why do you think satoshi nakamoto kept his identity as a secret?
Any number of reasons really, it could be there is a desire to keep his identity secret so that various government agencies, or people in a similar vein of that, malicious or not, have a hard time finding him. This could also be because Satoshi is actually a group, not a specific person and thus they use a generic name to prevent any sort of real affiliation. Alternatively, it is actually his real name and he simply disappeared for one reason or another and we just never knew what happened to him in the end. Which is possible.

why do you think satoshi nakamoto kept his identity as a secret?
i think he don't want to get famous because once he reveal his self, the media will interfere him and will follow everything he do and he will lost his privacy in his daily life. he can not doing anything that he want by freely, he can not enjoy his life and he can not move into many place without anyone know. the media will do everything the media could do to accompany satoshi to every where he go. and i think this is why he don't want to tells to anybody else who is he and its better he keep remain in the dark and people only know as anonymous person.
Far from that , i think he doesn't want to be pursued by the powers that be, because a lot of governments and agencies would plan to topple him if they knew his identity and so he is safe from death and trouble this way. I totally support his reason for staying anonymous though.
well, they arent pursuing vitalik buterin are they? though satoshi isa bit high profile than vitalik i assume.
theres no reason for any government to attack a developer. heck even monero developers who have openly supported anonymity arent being singled out. development of a project and its use are different
i think he remained anonymous for his own private and philosophical reasons

If I were to ask you if you are the one who created the bitcoin and holds a lot of money that are not taxed by the government, will you revile yourself, satoshi doesn't needed the fame I supposed and I think that is the reason why .

For the same reason I keep my identity a secret, I suppose.
Oh, we know who you are, buddy! (j/k)

Try to ask yourself: what's the point of revealing your identity when created a BIG INVENTION? Is it for FAME? Is it for POPULARITY? or is it for PRIDE? Well, I don't think that is the mindset of Satoshi Nakamoto. In my opinion, he hid his identity for SECURITY and PRIVACY. He don't want people to enter his private life, which I think is a very good decision by him. I, myself, won't even reveal mine if I were to create it. And another thing, why do people bother to find out who he is? To thank him? To interview how he came up with this invention? or the worst, to ask money from him? 
I love the way he managed everything. He's a humble person, in my opinion. Jump to:
