Actually, no. I don't want to know who Satoshi is. I think the fact that his identity is unknown is just perfect. It forces people to focus on the invention (Bitcoin) instead of its creator. It prevents sloppy journalism which would make ad hominem attacks against its creator instead of criticizing Bitcoin itself. And finally his anonymity gives the whole thing an epic aura, it is the stuff of legends and history.

Sometimes I tell people that the biggest reason why Bitcoin will proliferate and succeed in disrupting the status quo is the fact that no one knows who Satoshi is Smiley I might mean this more seriously than you might think.

Fully agree.
So it is probably good that trainspotter Dorian is distracting everyone who can't see that the invention is greater than the inventor.
