So I've seen many threads created about Satoshi Nakamoto, the so called creator of Bitcoin. Which brought me to this question, Does Satoshi Nakamoto matter?
Especially now that bitcoin is being accepted quite well, and also its value rising every day.
Does it matter who its creator is? Or is he dead or alive or what he has to say?
What impact will any of this can have on bitcoin today or tomorrow?
Satoshi really doesn't matter anymore. His design still remains today, but the code has changed immensely, and his coding was never great to begin with. I think that his legacy is the core design of Bitcoin, which is set in stone, as he is known to have said once. That's why there has been so much emphasis on backward compatibility in the forking debates over the past couple years.
It's for the best that he disappeared. This way, Bitcoin can go mainstream without him/her/them being pressured into influencing or making changes to the protocol against popular consensus.
