I don't personally care about his identity.

As a layman I think its cool that there's some mystery dude who built something cool, "valuable" (debatable), and then disappeared.

I'd honestly be disappointed if his identity is ever revealed. Even worse would be if it turns out to be some d bag we all know lol.

There are a couple of "d bags we all know" on the tech/hacker side that would make for a very satisfying answer to this question.
