If Satoshi is Wright, and he really wanted to remain nameless, he almost certainly would not have shown up to the Bitcoin Investor’s Conference. Poor op-sec.

That said, the issue with outing him is that he could hold more sway over the direction of BTC than if it were a truly decentralized currency. Not sure this if that's in the best interests of BTC.

Judging by the trainwreck that the debate over the change in block size ended up being, maybe Bitcoin could use a benevolent dictator.

It wasn't a trainwreck; it worked exactly as it should.

Bitcoin is not a system for those that favor changing the rules once the game is in play.

Bitcoin has gone through lots of changes. For example, the blocksize limit was added in July 2010, a year and a half after launch.

It isn't a system where large mining corporations are supposed to have a hangman's noose around it, either.
