What would finding Satoshi or one of his friends achieve for our Bitcoin community? Absolutely nothing. The identity of satoshi is irrelevant.
He obviously no longer wants to be a part of the project and prefers his privacy, I guess people just refuse to understand this.
I'm surprised that there aren't more people that understand this. Satoshi disappeared before the community really took off, and if he isn't back yet then there is no reason for people to try and find him, still, considering it is incredibly likely he doesn't want to be found.
I'd love to meet the guy, but a lot of people should respect his desire to not be found.
If people look about when he left he split when Gavin met the CIA and was trying to have Satoshi meet too, he most likely feared he would be charged as an accessory in the silk road for helping or money laundering unless he did things to break the code or help the CIA catch them, I figured he deleted everything Bitcoin related and drank a nice cold beer. I don't think h is dead and I don't think he hasn't spent coins out of some weird dedication but more out of he's fucking done, he deleted his shit and split.
