Becoz Satoshi owns approximately 1 Million Bitcoins - that is 6% of the total bitcoins.

I don't think that provides a satisfactory explanation. Plenty of people have a lot of X, and nobody gives a shit.

Who has 6% of the total gold?

Who has 6% of the total rice?

Who has 6% of the total 56K modems?

Maybe this is Bitcoin's version of identifying the 0.01%.

It's somewhat ironic, because I hear and read all this fluff about the anonymity of Bitcoin and how attractive that is, but everyone's just dying to out Satoshi.
