There are huge speculation that if Satoshi Nakamoto reveal his identity and sell his Bitcoin then the Bitcoin market will crash. This is nonsense propaganda by few Bitcoin community leaders.

When Satoshi Nakamoto will reveal his identity, he will get a Nobel Prize in economic science, he may not need to sell his bitcoins at all. Even if Satoshi Nakamoto sell his Bitcoins and donate to charities, it will not affect the Bitcoin value. When he will get a Nobel Prize in Economic Science there after hundreads of millions of investors will buy Bitcoins. The Bitcoin price will hike and go to the moon. That is my prediction.

Satoshi Nakamoto is a benevolent Economic Scientist and he deserve the recognition for his work.

Satoshi Nakamoto is nothing but a pure-genius person that invented a revolutionary way of payments in avoiding any third-party consenus. Creating bitcoin is nothing but the very best thing that has ever done these past few years due to the opportunities and potential improvements it may apply to countries.

Unfortunately, if Satoshi were to reveal his identity, his life may be put to danger. I also doubt that he would liquidate majority of his BTCs as this would go against his vision. Market may crash and I doubt that he would be selfish as to let such thing happen.

Even though I am as clueless as anyone else regarding Satoshi's identity, I am wondering why some people seem to rule out the possibility that Bitcoin is the invention of a government? Couldn't it very well be that a national government launched Bitcoin as a top secret project? Maybe that government is sitting on millions of Bitcoin, smartly hiding any relationship between addresses. It would certainly be possible if there are professionals at work. They could be holding the majority of the supply and turn into a financial superpower one day if Bitcoin goes through the roof.

I mean since we have no idea thus far (except for the shenanigans CSW has been doing over the years), couldn't it also be a group of computer scientists from North Korea? Russia? USA? There have already been tremendous amounts at stake when Bitcoin was around 70k USD. When a smaller country was then holding a large amount, that is already a lot of money even for a country. The only issue would probably be to get rid of extremely high amounts of Bitcoin.

But generally speaking it could be anyone behind Bitcoin. There are some more and some less likely scenarios of course, but ruling something out entirely doesn't make sense to me.

I just don't believe in the idea that Satoshi (whoever or whatever that is) is already dead without passing on the keys to those loaded wallet addresses. In contrast, a government could have all the patience in the world and a decade or two is nothing for a top secret project to fully enfold globally, while it is much harder to believe that a single individual can stay silent or leave so many coins dormant in those addresses.
