The protocol stands on its own. I hope he's never identified. Otherwise Bitcoin might have its own Vitalik Buterin.
Also I think in the first sentence of the white paper bitcoin was not really meant to be traded for fiat, I think it`s goal was to become the new medium of exchange, for USD and EURO is a financial institution, it was also meant to be traded p2p but most of the trades happen 3rd party on exchanges so it kind of failed there a little.
That seems like a misinterpretation. Bitcoin was intended to be a trustless medium of exchange yes, but that doesn't mean it
wasn't intended to be traded for fiat. This is from Satoshi's early writings on the forum:
If it somehow acquired any value at all for whatever reason, then anyone wanting to transfer wealth over a long distance could buy some, transmit it, and have the recipient sell it.
