Satoshi is a real person. He is probably in his early forties. The problem with being an innovative thinker and filthy rich is that you get bored unless you're keeping yourself busy.
So, he is likely to be working somewhere in the technology world.
What if you accidentally figure out the guy you've been working with (sitting next to, is a customer, is a consultant, is your client, etc) is actually Satoshi.
What would you do?
I would secretly talk to him and would not intend to reveal his identity because of some risk that would arise. I would thank him on creating bitcoin and i would like to ask on how to hack bitcoin?lol. Just kidding. Its a good experience if you meet the real satoshi someday.
