I know the general public sees Satoshi as somehow the mastermind behind Bitcoin even now, but they aren’t. Bitcoin is open source, being maintained by a team, and its current implementation is the result of a community effort. It’s built on the crucial work Satoshi did, but arresting them or charging them or anything of the sort won’t magically change anything.
To the general public who’s never interacted with open source communities before I’m sure this is very exciting and so it’ll definitely impact Bitcoin’s value (maybe that’s why those early wallets were drained?) but I can’t see it actually impacting the future of Bitcoin or any other coin.
I wish they’d respect Satoshi’s privacy, but I’m also super curious to know who it is.
