Its kinda weird question but interesting to me if Satoshi Nakamoto is still "alive" and watching.

. I guess, it would be best for bitcoin if its proponent/s would be revealed, just like with ethereum. This would gain more confidence for the coin.

i don't think it would make any difference with the confidence in bitcoin. people always loved mysteries after all and bitcoin is working really well without us knowing who he is- of course i'm curious to know who Satoshi is...

looking at all his posts he is\was a normal person very good with coding and very very skilled in his major field (cryptography?) and he was always answering all people's questions at the start- then after wikileaks and the CIA and the intrusive and aggressive US government he got scared, annoyed, overwhelmed by his own creation. did he save his own 20000(?) addresses private keys? we don't know. did he lose them? did he die? did he pass his legacy to someone? is he hiding?

i think satoshi was at least living in Britain at the moment of bitcoin creation when he used "The Times" jan 3 2009 title to be recorded in the blockchain. the times is a newspaper not readily available in other countries. of course he might have looked at it online but why? back then nobody knew about bitcoin yet. Also, his english sounded a "bit" british to many. is he of japanese origins? did he work for the NSA or the British secret service, maybe yes, maybe no

the mistery goes on and i would love to solve it
