i think one of the worst things for Bitcoin would be if they ever did find out who satoshi was, even if he was dead, it would still be bad, they'd rip apart everything he ever did or said.

They'd find people who knew him from kindergarten to assassinate him based on how much (or little) he shared his toys.

And then there's just the fact that the btc community is basically divided in half and hates the other half anyway, paragons of btc values like Solomon arguing with incorrect custodiers like @denlillaapan is just the tip of the iceberg!
