I cannot say that he is dead because I do not even know if he really exist no one knows whohe really is even know that the bitcoins is being existed for almost 10 years and still counting. The creator is still anonymous and still there is no people who knows who he is maybe there are people who know but they decided not to tell or even if they tell no onw believes. But i like that mystery thing into bitcoins so I do not care who the creator is but I am thankfufl that he created bitcoins a lot of people are getting help by the bitcoins
