If I were Satoshi I'd prefer my identity to be a secret. When bitcoin was only a harmless little experiment Satoshi had no reasons to worry, but now when it became big and draws big money he should remain in hiding.
People are crazy, he'd need bodyguards and security systems to feel safe and even that wouldn't be able to protect him from the government.

Which begs the question, why did Satoshi's mindset present Bitcoin anonymously and remained such from the get-go if the experiment was benign? A marketing ploy or something quasi-sinister to have in place if or when the world's financial markets based on fiat begin their collapses as currently witnessed?

If Satoshi's a single person, perhaps a man, then in retrospect he's a pussy for not standing up facing whatever as so many men and women worldwide have in the face of persecution et al. while espousing their myriad respective causes in bettering humanity.

Maybe he/they saw the big picture and predicted this protocol will grow.
Makes me wonder if, with enough resources they could be traced through this forum. Satoshi used it for a while, so there should be some traces left in the database. I know he surely hid his ip, but this is not a simple dox we're talking about but a CIA level trace, involving contacting the owners of possible VPN servers or internet cafes he used, a writing style comparison and profiling.
He might be a pussy in your understanding, many innovators are sensitive loners, sometimes even mildly autistic.
