People are crazy if they think that Bitcoin is going to die if Satoshi's identity is revealed. First of all, I'm sure this isn't going to happen, satoshi was a smart guy and he knew what he was doing, so he left no clue whatsoever for people to find out his real identity. But, just for the sake of the argument, if his identity is revealed somehow, it will surely create panic in the market, the market might even crash, but it will all be temporary because as you said, Bitcoin is not being used by a small quantity of people anymore, there are millions of people involved, industries are having their fingers in Bitcoin.
A short-term panic and crash isn't going to change much. Things will cool down, and people will still be interested in Bitcoin and its existence, I even think that Satoshi's identity reveals might increase its popularity in the world and that could be a positive thing for Bitcoin itself.
Of course not. Bitcoin will still be around with us because of the way it was designed. The reveal of Satoshi's identity might have a negative effect over BTC's price. Especially if Satoshi decides to sell all of his Bitcoin holdings. If he doesn't, prices will only go higher in the long run. Assuming the discovery doesn't turn out to be a government agency (NSA/CIA) or something.
I wouldn't want to know the identity of Bitcoin's creator. Aren't there more important things to focus on? Keeping Satoshi a mystery would be for the best. It's what makes BTC different from other cryptocurrencies (especially ETH). Hopefully, there are better days ahead for Bitcoin. As long as it stays decentralized, nothing else matters.
When baby is hungry, mother is responsible to feed the baby milk. Mother only need to hear the cry of her baby to know it is time for her to run to her baby to feed milk or some food. Similarly every one knows that there is time for every thing under the sun. There is a time for public to know the truth about everything which have been kept secret for a long times.
When the time for the inventor of Bitcoin and Blockchain comes to reveal his identity he will reveal himself, no matter you all speculate and think otherwise. Those who have a great concerns for their greedy selfish interest among the Bitcoin community are not the true libertarian and ethical peoples here but a group of ruffians who have not only caused the Bitcoin Inventor suffering with extreme form of extortion but they have committed high serious organised crime against him. When some is insulted by some others by an iddiom MF56 it does not mean he has an amorous eyes to his own mother but it refers those who have sold their own mothers to do prostitution for profits.
What the hell is going on in the bitcoin community that not even a single bitcoiner or a developers who has no real concern about the wellbeing of an independent economic scientist who has dedicated his entire life to innovate financial service industry for 99% peoples. If you are working for the 1% and the financial and plotical crooks and infiltrated the revolutionised Bitcoin community then remember, your you are just a sock-puppet of the old foxes.
All the old foxes are old and they will be punished soon for their serious crimes against humanity, other
wise they repent and beg for mercy. It is time to drop the dead donkey in the dustbin. And those are trying to keep the dead donkey for further long to monopolise the financial service industry will face justice not from the crook court of justice system they have created but a public court will be setup to justify their crimes.
It advisable for Bitcoin crooks community leaders to leave Satoshi Nakamoto alone but they did not left him alone. So it it is time for Satoshi to reveal his identity.
