First, did you just assume Satoshi's gender, we are not even sure if it's a he/she/they or whatever. Satoshi staying anonymous is playing true to the technology which Bitcoin portrays :- decentralisation and anonymity.
If Satoshi is known, then the safety and continuity of Bitcoin will be seriously threatened. The government can do anything to make sure the technology is wiped out.

Almost every day a new person comes up with the claim that he/she is the real Satoshi.
was at the magic table(group effort) and the firepit(#Bullshit), two incidents that were 20 years apart...
if im not then we will never know who is.The windmill should be in the x40-x250 tile range. Start from the middle facing each other and work in opposite directions.
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?
The only people can review now is the blockchain that he invented and people trusted it until now, therefore there is no harm or risk in using it, its all transparent and we don't need to know the real identity of satoshi, its not necessary. For me, his reason is to protect his wealth and he can live a free and normal life where he is not afraid that there are people thinking of robbing him for his btc holdings.
Seen theory that it's probably a group of ppl hiding identity for some privacy issues. IDK

I don't think Satoshi predicted that his work or bitcoin is going to be the future we don't really know if he is still alive,If Satoshi predicted this we know that bitcoin was a big amount of money and as a maker of bitcoin he should be at least be able to crack the bitcoin,
I think Satoshi hiding his identity was better because bitcoin was already a big deal in a lot of countries and having someone owning it or having someone that has a big percentage of bitcoin could affect the bitcoin so much.
I think some of the reasons Satoshi hide himself were because of security (fear of terror or threats), fear of being taxable, and the last one wanted to really live quietly and away from the media (this is my personal opinion)... but whatever the Satoshi reason, personally I really admire him, he really is someone who deserves respect, he is really one of the world system modifiers.
It definitely is very counterproductive. Hence why most of the community almost never takes these claims seriously, and lean more onto some people like Szabo and Finney to be the real Satoshi(as they don't claim to be Satoshi in the first place). It's pretty obvious that these claims made by multiple people only made the Satoshi claim for personal gain one way or another.
The problem here is that people always claim to be the real Satoshi, instead of being productive in the face of cryptocurrency and bitcoin, the most efficient way is to focus on how we could develop cryptocurrency other than proving we are the real Satoshi because it isn't helping at all. If the real Satoshi would consider showing again, then the only reason I could think is for him to fix if the protocol of Bitcoin experiences an exploit. But since it is already strong enough and can withstand challenges, I don't think there's any reason for him to come again.
Nobody can claim that they're the legit Satoshi, because it sounded ridiculous revealing a real identity despite that name hid for so many years just to be anonymous. Being Satoshi it doesn't mean a single identity, but a group of businessmen who came up to that code name of Satoshi Nakamoto. This was a hidden identity which cannot be opened to public and any disclosure of true identity cannot be traced because it consists of many people who've been a part of bitcoin's long time business.

In fact there are so many people who are claiming that they are the real Satoshi Nakamoto but we don't know if that was true or not. There is a lot of possible reason why Satoshi are still hiding his identity to the people and one of the main reason was, security. If he turns himself to the public then maybe the government will get him and try to get some relative information about the cryptocurrency and bitcoin so that the government will be able to control it, and another reason is because Satoshi Nakamoto is afraid that dome people will try to kidnap him because he is rich or he have so much bitcoins. There are a lot of possible reason why Satoshi Nakamoto hids himself to the public.

Isn't it pretty counterproductive to end up making your own coin, that promotes decentralization and doesn't really fit in to what the government wants from you, and then end up revealing yourself, and your ID to the world?

In my opinion satoshi nakamoto anonymized his identity because he might know that if the public knew him, the government would definitely ask him to work together so that bitcoin could be controlled or managed by its central organization to benefit them.
and I'm sure satoshi has planned all of this to remain silent forever.

Until today after bitcoin created no one know who is Satoshi and where his come from, I think Satoshi keep hidden his self because want to keep safety his self from many people and government ask how much bitcoin he has, I think he want to private his self with anything about bitcoin and altcoin, maybe he want enjoy his life without not information about him. 
Security is the main reason.
If you see those rich people, they always have security on their side because anytime somebody can do bad things to them. Same with Satoshi but this time, Satoshi doesn't reveal his/her identity at all unlike the rich people there who are very famous. Either way, revealing the true identity of Satoshi can't help Bitcoin in terms of adoptions and popularity.

Satoshi remained anonymous to protect him/herself and to protect bitcoin, so that no one person could be in control, or be seen as the master of bitcoin.
Because if he reveals it he will be exposed to all sorts of accusations, drama, theft attempts.
Who knows what else brings to him. Such exposure could even lead to his death.
Some might not like bitcoin thus wanted to kill it for better value on other coins as for instance Bitcoin Cash.
Others could actually try to persuade Satoshi to make their wills / desires worth for.
These are some of the reasons why he probabily won't do such thing.

If he/she reveals his/her identity then for sure many people will attempt to look for him/her to ask frequent questions and many scammers or hackers will get interests his/her knowledge for them to know how to easily scammed and hacked a lot of people and accounts using cryptocurrencies. Politics will surely involve once it reveals and I think it is just a big problem that happens. Almost every day a new person comes up with the claim that he/she is the real Satoshi.

Only people who are new in the crypto space will fall this. Knowing the identity of Satoshi is really not necessary in terms of mass adoption and improvement of the entire blockchain network. I don't really get it why people are so interested in knowing the identity of Satoshi. Satoshi wanted to remain anonymous, if he didn't want that he would have added his identity to the whitepaper he wrote for bitcoin. This should tell you that all these people are just fraud. Its better to focus on promoting bitcoin rather than trying to find the identity of Satoshi....
Satoshi is more of a group than a person and I believe it is a secret meant to be kept by this people. Looking at the trend there is no way this truth could have been kept for this long, he started this forum with some friends according to history. He handed it over to the present moderators and they say they dont know him again, who is deceiving who? For anyone coming around at every point is just trying to make a news. Maybe we should just stop looking for satoshi
He created something which would disrupt the whole financial system. Don't get me wrong, the financial system don't need bitcoin to collapse, it is doing just fine by itself but satoshi will be the guy they'll blame because what he came up with is obviously a better system than what we have now.
You would do the same if you like to keep yourself alive.
Why don't Vitalik hide too? It is because he is full of shit.

This combined with the government's constant hunt for the real Satoshi, means that no one will ever endanger themselves, so we'll likely never find out who it is
