Few days ago, there was a Twitter account that has recently come to life. Many believes that it was the real Satoshi. But there are people who were saying that it wasn't the real one. I'm not interested in finding out who Satoshi really is. Not knowing his identity is the key reason why Bitcoin is here. Bitcoin could never reach this height if the creator of Bitcoin is known. Staying anonymous has paved the path for Bitcoin to reach where it is now. So I don't think it is important whoever claims to be Satoshi. Let them do whatever they want. And I don't know about any other faketoshi. I only knew about three of them but thanks to your post I have learned it now.
This also proves that Bitcoin can become bigger and develop without the founder, without the intervention of others and this is purely from the community.
Decentralized and cannot be regulated by anyone including the government.

If Satoshi is known then Bitcoin can no longer be decentralized because the government will continue to pressure Satoshi to open all the source code.

Those who claim to be Satoshi only want popularity so that the projects they work on will get attention.
See how CSW does it by promoting BCH which is claimed to be the real Bitcoin.

It's quite ridiculous when anyone who claims to be Satoshi can't prove that they're really Satoshi,
instead of leading opinions with some active satoshi accounts and such.
