Ever since I learned about Bitcoin, I know that Satoshi is the inventor of Bitcoin, he invented Bitcoin. But I have little interest in knowing about Satoshi, and I do not need to know whether he is the enemy of many. But I always think Satosh has no enemies. But he invented Bitcoin which I admire. As a result of his discovery, the world is going to benefit a lot today. Many attempts are being made to find Satoshi, which I don't know if it will ever be successful, but if it is possible to find Satoshi, the privacy of Bitcoin will not decrease, Bitcoin will continue at its own pace.

Why wouldn't Satoshi have enemies? Of course he does. His main enemies are banks and governments. It's the reason why he created Bitcoin in the first place. If Satoshi was fine with the current monetary system, do you think he would've invented a cryptocurrency of his own? Of course not!

He created bitcoin as an alternative, not a replacement to fiat and banks, so it cannot be said that he sees banks and governments as enemies. Maybe he is not happy to depend too much on them and bitcoin was created to reduce the dependence on them, I believe he has no intention of going against banks and governments.

For the sake of the project, it's best to leave Satoshi's identity a mystery. The lad is probably dead since 2011. After all, that's the last year when he was active. If other crypto founders copied his model, crypto land would've been a better place. Unfortunately, most cryptocurrencies have publicly-known developers/founders, making it easier for governments to hunt them down whenever they want to. Imagine what would happen with a coin like ETH if Vitalik is out of the picture. Or if Vitalik gets compromised in the long run. Market prices (and credibility) will go all the way down the drain in an instant.

Let's all focus on what matters most. And that is scaling Bitcoin to the masses. As long as decentralization is preserved, there should be nothing to worry about. Wink

He didn't want to reveal his identity from the beginning and he certainly had his own reasons. But I don't think revealing his identity will have any impact on bitcoin because bitcoin is designed differently from the rest of the market. He intentionally designed bitcoin to be decentralized and not dependent on anyone, including himself. As we can see, Bitcoin has survived and thrived without him for the past 15 years, so even if his identity is revealed, it won't change anything.
