If satoshi is alive and moved any of his bitcoins we would all see it. And from there, it would be possible for someone to eventually track down his IP address or the IP address of the the sent address holder (once they spend it, and if not them, the next person in the chain). And there would be a lot of motivation for block chain analysis experts to do this too. To avoid this, statoshi would (and perhaps is) going to have to censor himself.

I guess Satoshi would know how to make her IP private if she wanted to .. I mean such tools are already there .. nothing more needs to be done on Bitcoin software ..

There are tools for every scope and every need .. Bitcoin is a public ledger , it needs to be best public ledger ( as it is ) . It need not be everything to everyone ..

privacy is a personal choice and those who need it can figure it out
