I'm not sure what you mean by "Those in power" there are lot's of people who know, but recognise that he has chosen anonymity and see no value in putting a name to the person.

It's not so much a secret as it is simply not public.

Good. I'm glad most of the media have come to a gentlemen's agreement to not blast his name everywhere. Adds a little more fun to the world. Even this statute is staying for now, the local council, bless them, have decided to leave it in place for the near future.

Who cares? Are you similarly triggered by The Rock or Alemao? Banksy is Banksy.

Tracking Bansky is a favorite spy software sales demo given to authoritarian governments.

I was going to say

>less than two months after a journalism investigation into Banksy’s true identity was published

gives a false impression. The daily mail published his name and photo in 2008 https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-3478606/Scientists-sa...

his remaining semi anonymous does make it harder for the authorities to send him fines for graffiting stuff though.

Yeah, but we won't really know for sure until he sells some of the genesis block.

The point appears to have whizzed a couple of feet over your head.
