If Satoshis Identity would be known:

a) he would be in SEVERE danger for his life + his families life + his friends life
just look at Asange and Snowden

b) the BTC community would constantly tweet / message him to change this and/or that.
Ask why this is not included, cause coin "X" can do another thing so much better.

c) he would have to deal with Roger Ver and discussions about what is the "real Bitcoin"

d) mainstream media could easily destroy his life + reputation
(see what they do with Elon Musk?)

Putting himself out there would be such a risk. Suddenly you have enemies like the Rothschilds, Governments
(maybe even Mafia Mobsters?)
Just imagine a case hypothetical case where it is known that drug money is on a certain wallet.
Media asks him, why he cannot "delete" these funds. How rude of Satoshi to "support" criminalls like this.. ?

ALso it would centralize BTC in a way that was never intended for BTC.

He is a smart man, we will never know him. Godspeed.

That was a really well written comment! Too bad i dont have merit or i would send you some.
I think he was smart to stay hidden. Ethereum is not a currency while bitcoin is, maybe that is the difference in why it worked ok for Vitalik.
