Where the logic of him being "it" falls apart IMO is this: His name is Satoshi Nakamoto, so he is vain enough to put his name on arguably one of the greatest technical papers of this century yet when directly confronted with being found out, completely and utterly denies being the guy who created it. Not even dropping any vagueries about whether or not he truly is the creator of bitcoin. Again to iterate, the creator of bitcoin is vain enough to put his real name on the paper, but when all the cards are on the table he goes the path of vehemently denying it, refusing any recognition, and continuing to sit on his bajillions in bitcoin while he risks possible financial ruin and health problems. There are people who create great things and just want to be left alone. But if their health was at risk, and they could anonymously ask for donations, why would they not do it? "He is too proud," Screw that you put your name on the technical paper. But of course, this isn't the real Satoshi Nakamoto. Because that person truly wants to be left alone. You want people to know some time in the future that it was you who created bitcoin? Leave a note in your will.
