Note: this is a theoretical thread to discuss what would happen to Bitcoin, its price, and fanatics if it was suddenly revealed who is Satoshi Nakamoto and that they are now deceased.
What would happen to:
1. Bitcoin technology;
2. The price of a Bitcoin;
3. How would the community feel.
Discuss.
Bitcoin technology would not be affected. It would still continue at a successful rate. The price would not really be affected. Supply and demand are not affected at all and thus the price would continue on its trend. The community would probably react with sorrow. After all, the creator of Bitcoin just died. But the fact that he/she/they had stayed anonymous for this long, whilst Bitcoin developed by itself, would probably decrease the emotional impact on the community. No one other than the early developers would have known Satoshi. I would expect them to be affected the most.
To cut a long story short, Bitcoin would not be affected...much.
