Topic: Why Satoshi hides his identity? - page 3. (Read 690 times)
Given the popularity that Bitcoin has already gained and the popularity that will be in the future, it is simply not safe to remain a public person, personally for Satoshi as well as for the entire Bitcoin ecosystem.
Creating an entirely new currency can have many legal consequences. Maybe Satoshi Nakamoto anonymously helped him avoid legal consequences, contributing to the success of the bitcoin.
Almost every day a new person comes up with the claim that he/she is the real Satoshi. The real satoshi surely does not want any kind of fame. If he/she/they want fame he could have disclosed his identity earlier. But what could be the possible reason that Satoshi still hides his identity? Does he have a big plan for the future?
Regardless on his reasons, let's just respect and accept his decision of hiding his real identity from the public... He is a smart and intelligent guy so I think he has his deep reason why he chose to be anonymous. He could now just enjoy watching us use it, he could be earning lot right now but hr didn't. What if he wanted to reveal himself but he just can't? Almost every day a new person comes up with the claim that he/she is the real Satoshi. The real satoshi surely does not want any kind of fame.

I think this is a major thing, not just because he has a plan but because he wants it to take longer in this industry. If a lot of people know his identity, I think there are a lot of people that would also try to destroy it through using him. That would also mean, for example, he is a from country x, the government might join the debate and might try to centralize bitcoin.

I think there are many reason that make Satoshi hides his identity. Privacy is an important feature of Bitcoin so he want to do the same to his identity. Now we can see that the governments want to shutdowns Bitcoin and imagine what will they do if they know its father.Almost every day a new person comes up with the claim that he/she is the real Satoshi.

It's simple,
When Satoshi Nakamoto reveals his true identity many people will take interest and find her and use his knowledge to control bitcoin secretly.
We do not even know if satoshi nakamoto is still alive or not.
Not only that we don't even know it's 1 person or a group of individuals.In any case, it would be better for the bitcoin and cryptocurrency community if we did not find out who Satoshi is. If everyone finds out who he / they are, then on the one hand everyone will admire them and on the other hand they can be punished and poured with dirt.When Satoshi Nakamoto reveals his true identity many people will take interest and find her and use his knowledge to control bitcoin secretly.
We do not even know if satoshi nakamoto is still alive or not.
The main reason why satoshi didn't want to reveal his identity is because he is the main for the decentralization of bitcoin. He knows everything the code and how blockchain works. That's why if the FBI or Interpol catch him. He might force to take down bitcoin which he might be capable of. This is just my theory and I have no concrete proof about my claim.

I can't really tell why Satoshi Nakamoto is hiding, but I have always thought of the possible reasons that can cause him to remain anonymous and things that always comes to mind are – maybe he's hiding from the wrath of big banks?Although I have seen some people claim that banks are not worried about cryptocurrency, I don't think that is true. Central banks are run by influential people, and I don't think any of these people would be happy seeing Bitcoin ruin their businesses for them. The next thing is the angry Wall Street, lol. People like Warren Buffet are seriously against the use and investing in Bitcoin, and that's another long story, you can search that up on Google.
Other things that also comes to my mind is that maybe he's someone that likes privacy or he's ...dead?
But in the other way round, if there's a risk in being Satoshi Nakamoto, then why are people still claiming to be him? Well, I'm just really confused anytime I think of this.

No one knows for sure why Satoshi hid his identity. And certainly the reason for not being known to people is a logical and best reason for him. Like bitcoin which is anonymous then why is the creator anonymous too. So we don't need to believe the statements of those who claim to be Satoshi, just prove it with his wallets.

This is the beauty of bitcoin. It is as if a single authority created the coin and then disappeared among the crowds so that the whole system remains truly "DECENTRALIZED". If people really knew who Satoshi was, then anything he said would have caused serious impact on the system. People would consider him as the single "leader" of bitcoin. But a true decentralized currency has no single leader and no single authority in charge. 
1. Satoshi is dead. We have tsunamis hitting Asia in 2010, many people were considered lost and their bodies were never recovered. There are plane crashes and car accidents.
He simply died before ever having a chance to reveal himself.
^ This was also in my mind. He probably died and didn't even reveal himself as Satoshi Nakamoto. Probably if he still alive maybe there will be a sign that comes from to him but it seems nothing, it's like totally died. But in this case, we respect what he wants, hiding or just he was dead, respect of what he wants. Because this is what he wanted to be and probably even his family don't want to involve such as a controversial about Bitcoin and probably their lives will put endangered.He simply died before ever having a chance to reveal himself.
There are plenty of reasons why somebody that designed a system that could literally crash would governments would want to hide.
Firstly, what happens if Satoshi built a backdoor into the system? Not saying he did, but he would not want his identity known since this would prefer him from exploiting the backdoor.
Secondly, cryptocurrencies are designed to be anti-government. If he was born in certain countries, simply creating Bitcoin could be considered an afront to the government and be punishable to some extent.
More realistically however, Satoshi is likely deceased. It has been a decade since he created it. Assuming he was 50 when he made it, that would make him 60 now.
Based on there being around a 20% chance of dying each decade between 50 and 60 years old, there's a good chance he simply kicked the bucket.

I believe Satoshi will be ostracized in such a way and even worse than Julian Assange if he really appears. Regarding age and death, it would be very bad if the actual conditions were known in general, because the decentralized freedom system would also cause invalid claims and continue to emerge from false successors.

Being in Satoshi's shoes I'd be hiding too. You have to always watch pros and cons of every decision and weigh them.
What could he gain from coming out? He'd be attacked just like Dorian Nakamoto was. His world would be in ruins. No family life, paparazzi everywhere, death threats maybe...
If he ever wants his name to be in history books he can leave it in his last will and skip all the drama.

Satoshi hid his identity because he needed to protect himself from outside threats, maybe some who liked bitcoin and some who didn't. Especially now that bitcoin is very popular, of course many people who want to find out Satoshi's whereabouts then do things that are not supposed to. The main thing is his own safety.

There are many theories but the two that seem the most probable to me are:
1. Satoshi is dead. We have tsunamis hitting Asia in 2010, many people were considered lost and their bodies were never recovered. There are plane crashes and car accidents.
He simply died before ever having a chance to reveal himself.
2. He's hiding because he doesn't want to endanger himself. US agencies would love to make someone like that work for them and you can't say no to these people.
