Personally, I think the cons of him coming forward will always outweigh the pros but I'm curious what some of y'all think. What would your single biggest pro or con be for him coming/not coming forward be?

Are you so sure it's a him? I don't think Satoshi ever stated gender.

Whoever this person is, I don't think they will come forward. One possible reason is being dead, but I hope that's not true. If Satoshi is alive and hasn't come to the public yet, I don't see why anything in the future might motivate any different action. Satoshi deserves privacy and probably won't give it up. Moreover, I think it's actually better for the community this way because an abstract Bitcoin creator is more appealing than any real one. The real person has some political views and did some things in life, and this could divide the community. Plus in times of difficult decisions (like SegWit) people would ask for advice and one person would become very influential.

I literarily don't see any disadvantage to them coming forward but if their existence is been known this might give bitcoin more popularity and positive recognition for those who still doubt it. Nobody can say if he/she has ever come forward or even if he/she has come forward without us been aware.

no answer is a very correct answer.
I totally agree with what you said, I also think that satoshi will not appear. but for now there are so many claims about this satoshi. indirectly if for example satoshi advanced why not from the first why only now forward.

Until now no one has been able to show the existence of Satoshi Nakamoto, not long after creating Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto just disappeared.
Satoshi did not leave the slightest trace, many people have searched for the whereabouts of Satoshi Nakamoto and ended in failure. Why after
a long absence then Satoshi had to reappear, there is no strong reason why Satoshi Nakamoto should appear. What appears is only people who
seek popularity by claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto, whereas all of them have no solid evidence to show that they are Satoshi. I believe Satoshi
will not reappear, because he knew that finding out his identity could jeopardize his life, so forget the plan to find Satoshi Nakamoto, it will only
be a waste of time, it's better to focus on his creation, namely Bitcoin.

Satoshi had been hiding for almost a decade now, I don't think that he will reveal himself at this point. Bitcoin is doing well even without him, so probably he thinks that there is no use if ever he will come forward and will only disrupt or hinder Bitcoin being decentralized since, for sure he will have a huge influence thus his decision will greatly be weighed and will affect Bitcoin decentralization.

Need to look in to the legal aspect as well. Let's not forget that Satoshi is the mastermind behind most important anti-authority innovation in recorded history. The governments are not going to be kind to him. I won't be surprised if he ends up like Ross Ulbricht or Edward Snowden. Ulbricht was a small fish, and yet he received life without parole. The reasons is that he went against the system. Similarly fake charges will be brought against Satoshi and he will be imprisoned, if he reveals his true identity.

There are many theories about who Satoshi might be. Some people think he may even be dead. It would be better if they did not come forward. Bitcoin doesn't need leaders. If their identity was revealed then it could have major repercussions that could destabilize the community.

Satoshi is indeed very full of mysteries, and also many pros and cons, therefore there are still many who do not believe about bitcoin, some people may think badly, plus the history of bitcoin was once used for illegal transactions, and also satoshi as well as people from the dark web, It is not wrong to be wary, but bitcoin is now too public. If satoshi will appear in the future and take over, why not now? if they were in control and sold the whole then they would have been very rich.

I think if he came out, governments would find ways to stick dirt on him. Accuse him of being a pedo or something and get Bitcoin the FUD of a lifetime.

The question is, does Satoshi is still alive? Does Satoshi wanted to be found? If he/they want they will already a long time ago. I'm not hoping he/they will coming to show themselves anymore. People will tend to ask more questions if he/they would show up and what could be the possibility that he would remain peaceful in his/their time left in this world when the world/people wanted them.

I would suggest that we left it as it is and leave Satoshi alone for pete sake how many times I will be reading something like this in the future?

I think that we will never learn who Satoshi is. Satoshi should have revealed himself or herself in the first times of Bitcoin. Now, we don't know how much affect Satoshi's revelation could leave on people. And it is hard to predict its probable reflection on the market.

I believe there's not much of a huge feat if he comes forward again because Bitcoin has been a success anymore. He can only be known if ever his bitcoins will be moved but I guess it's still difficult since he/she/they know how to hide without a trace.

The only thing that was alarming if those bitcoins he hoard will be dumped among the market, though it's a good thing since there's no monopoly but I guess there's still worry and FUD will surely be created.

The possibility is very small so he can reappear as Satoshi and reveal who he can actually in the real world. And only with strong evidence of new people will believe it as Satoshi. And this may not be easy especially because so far many people recognize themselves as Satoshi. Especially if indeed Satoshi is not just one person but is an organization. Then the possibility will be smaller.
Even if he will reappear, there is a possibility he will not reveal his real life, this is too risky.

We don't even know if Satoshi is still alive or not it has been more than a decade since he left.
In those years we couldn't find a clue or something that would lead to his real identity so I think there is super low chance that he would come out from the shadow beside what would he gain from it?
If he wants attention he wouldn't hide at all and just go on after the success of his project so for me he doesn't have any reason to show up.

There are no pros and cons here, IMO. What he created is what matters most, from his posts we can have some kind of imagination of what kind of person he was. But why does it matter who is he or she exactly? That knowledge will change nothing. On the other hand, he's a billionaire, declaring identity will have consequences, Satoshi would no longer live calmly, he'd worry whether some idiots will break this night into his house and try to steal all the money, he'd have to become a public personality, hire security...who needs all that?
Without exposure Satoshi can maintain a calm life, with no media involved, making gossips around every move. Right now Satoshi is rich, famous, and anonymous, what else can you wish for?

Just leave the damn guy alone ffs. He clearly doesn't want himself to be found and he most certainly has valid reasons for this. Just admire the guy and appreciate his creation which has lead us to be here. Forcing a guy to come out against his will would never end up to a good outcome anyway so let us just stop pestering and let the guy be. There are far more important things related to bitcoin which are very significant to its future. Might as well focus on these things instead of more nonsense.

The pro might be well now our curiousity is gone, and bitcoin will surely be a hot topic for a while since the founder now appear, and will have a good impact to the price i guess. But then, the cons might be happen if satoshi is not what we expect him to be, like the imagination is destroyed, and people might get disappointed or else.
But still i don't think satoshi will ever want to appear in the society, ever. Since if he wanted to do so, he would have done so for a long time ago.

Some people even say that Bitcoin could go down at a incredibly high rate if Satoshi reveals his/her identity. But I don't see any logic about thinking in this way. But I'm sure that Bitcoin will be affected by it if such thing happens.

Think about it: what if it's the case that Satoshi had somewhat of a bad past? Or if he/she/they support a certain politician or have a certain controversial ideology? A weed smoker? An alcoholic? Something ridiculous like Satoshi being a fan of some anime kink and likes waifu pillows? Literally anything that could be twisted to a negative and over-exaggerated will be used by those so called "journalists".

I don't think Satoshi will coming from his hiding places and tell the public that he is the real Satoshi. He will stay in his hidden place and still working for what he did, but perhaps, he will ask some of his friends to watch cryptocurrency from somewhere else.

As there is no clue about who is Satoshi, we can let him hide without we can know what was he did. But I think he will show himself in the future, but I am not sure why he comes to the public.
