Is Satoshi Nakamoto really the founder of bitcoin? Then why he did not show in public? What do you think the reason maybe? He might be a billionaire by now if he showed his true identity in public.
He is the founder of Bitcoin, and he likely won't show in public because he is the creator of a $10b value currency, and this means a lot of people would want to get their hands on him for one reason or another. Might be political, might be criminal.
He might be a billionaire, but a ton of governments would want to get him, and criminal orgs would equally want him. If he says nothing that is best for him, plain and simple.
But satoshi refuse that he is the founder of Bitcoin in many interviews. I think founder might be from Australian region and as said he is hidden due to Bitcoin seems to be decentralized. Once it become centralized he will reveal that in public automatically.
