Or if the real Satoshi comes to the surface and proves that he is really the one, then a possibility of Bitcoin growth can be observed.  We all know, in each circumstance there is always a possible two route.  One that OP believes may lead to Bitcoin death or the opposite which can possibly lead to Bitcoin thriving because there will be this go-to guy whenever a conflict in development occurs.  Thus making it possible for the development of Bitcoin network to be faster. Aside from that, it will also create an explosion in terms of advertisement making Bitcoin as talk of the town during the appearance of its true creator.  This is just an assumption and may or may not happen but I am positive that it will bring a positive impact if ever the real Satoshi comes out.
