If today, The real Satoshi Nakamoto would appear ... i would presume that the world media would cover him and give him more or equal importance than attacking of twin tower by Osama Bin Laden
Did you see Vitalik? Did the world give importance of his presence? Maybe we can say yes to the crypto users because he is well known creator of second top crypto in the world but the world media(the mainstream) didn't cover him and been not crazy about what he do.
For sure if Satoshi will appear he will be highlighted on medias but for sure this are for short term only.
If we talk about if crypto is not created for sure everything will be in normal and still we can see a digitalization in different form. We already see some banks operate online transactions and banking so for sure this one will dominate if bitcoin is not been created.
