Because he doesn't exist

It was a think tank legend created most likely by NSA

Not all the great things are created / developed in the "almighty" country

I sincerely hope this is true. The US government are often ran by privileged egotists (see the Neo-Cons) and wouldn't have the insight or intelligence to create Bitcoin.

Nakamoto could be a gifted US student, though.

Simple answer: because he wanted to. I'm sure there are many reasons why he wished to remain anon and I think it was wise and forward thinking of him to do so from the start.

Excellent idea, I think you'll get far more respect and credit from the Alex Jones readership.

Just to throw some different thinking in the mix... I disagree that Satoshi is anonymous. Satoshi has an identity, a well-known identity. Just because the identity he goes by is not government-approved and stamped does not make it any less valid.

To me, 'anonymous' would mean we don't know who created bitcoin... however, we do know that Satoshi Nakamoto created it.

Merriam-Webster's dictionary says:

Quote
1:  of unknown authorship or origin
2:  not named or identified

Neither of those apply to Satoshi, who is named, and who we know authored the bitcoin whitepaper.

Like I said I do not know why they picked the name for the white paper. I was really only involved on the idea part and brainstorming on the message board with them. I think I was probably out drinking while they were in IRC brainstorming what to do.

The keys are not lost as far as I understand but an individual does have them and tried to give them to me probably in 2011 when I announced I was "leaving the project". This was really just someone tracking me down on another message board during the second Ron Paul campaign. Really me leaving the project was just because of the fact I did not feel well at the time based on some of things  I said in a prior post.

The central intelligence thing through me off too because when I started feeling better I actually had a revival and started getting into bitcoin. This was while I completely forgot that I was the purported inventor of sorts. I was like "wow I don't know if I can trust this thing what if it's these implantable microchips everyone is talking about".

In addition, I did not hide because I was trying to create a mysterious persona but moreso because I was not feeling so hot and did not want involved with anything besides feeling better and my menial job at the time.

Regardless, I think a lot of you will have trouble believing this but if some of the inner circle as well as the holder of the coins (yes it's probably a SHE that holds all the coins) want to support me I will happily give an interview with media. Though, I would prefer it not be some major media outlet. I was thinking Alex Jones would work really good. He'd give me and the holder of the coins (I expect you to be there) ample time to describe how it came into existence and have plenty of time to chat. Also, he already accepts btc at his shop online. In addition, I think his audience is the type of people we need to ease about these central intelligence allegations as potential strong supporters of BTC. Whereas I see a major media outlet asking some lame questions, potentially trying to defame me etc.

Also, SHE has already tried to post here I believe and no one accepted her as knowing me. What just cause she hasn't spent the coins? Get over the coin spending. That will happen when the group is ready and a consensus decision has been made. You know we have not met in person. And the promise to me was that she would hold them and not spend them. Even though I openly gave them to her when I was not feeling good.

I also hope to connect with someone in the legal area to bring contract law to bitcoin. I'm thinking common law though, and I need someone I trust to coach me through what I need (was thinking Jordan Maxwell). It is my one hope as a feature I'd like to see added to blockchain.

from reading a few post here i now doubt satoshi cared abut getting rich but more about changing things in the world he thinks needs to be change.

Or maybe he's holding on to the coins to become super rich? Perhaps he will become the worlds first trillionaire and rule the world.

Sounds like he could make a great bond villain if this happend. I can imagine him sitting in his secret lair on his own island  Cheesy.

Probably was working so hard on Bitcoin that he didn't get any sleep, fell asleep at the computer, fell off his computer chair, whacked his head on the floor, got amnesia. His wife, who doesn't have a clue that he was involved with Bitcoin, partially because she is not techy minded, doesn't even realize that her husband in the psyche ward is the guy everyone is looking for.

Somebody posted this link, but it was deleted. Found it quite an interesting article on topic.

I do agree that his actions show he's consistent on keeping the coins.

I bet it's for he's own safety Cheesy A brilliant man with an eye for details... he has probably thought things through a thousand times. I'd like to see him cash out those bitcoins without attracting attention though Grin He'll be forced into fame in the end Tongue
I don't think, he can cash out without getting attentions. I am pretty sure, there are a lot of people who are watching his addresses.
