Who ever Satoshi Nakamoto is either and individual or a group he/they are very much cemented in the history of Crypto-currency forever. but I would like to correct you, yes the last time he posted here was 14years ago or there about doesn't mean he has been anonymous for 14years(based on the last time he posted here). There was never a time he wasn't anonymous. Posting on the forum does mean you aren't anonymous. For example you have posted this but I don't know who you are I just know you are a member here that makes you anonymous to me so are other members. You aren't required to give your real name or any of your documents when registering on the forum this goes to show that the forum promotes anonymity.

According to Satoshi Nakamoto's profile, he was last active on this Bitcointalk forum on December 13, 2010. But he last posted on that account on December 12th. Since then, he has not logged into this forum to this day.

 

The kind of life I will like to live one day if I'm able to make that kind of money sitting somewhere, no tax, no government investigation on the source of your wealth, no competition from other people and no one to take care your life because they see you been the most valuable person alive, that's what privacy gives you when you protectbot with all your work, had it been he never took his privacy serious snap a couple of pictures like other developers are doing right now, Bitcoin growth will always be a controversial assets like the way ethereum community is right now with Vitalik.

I don't think Satoshi will b bored been anonymous, it's helping Bitcoin that he stays that way and it's giving people content to post just like a month a go one TV reporter wanted to do documentation On Satoshi, that's what I called fooling at it peak because I don't know how you intend to do a documentation on a man you know nothing about his existence.

If he knew already that bitcoin would become a hit in the future, then leaving the bitcointalk forum and staying anonymous from then until now serve its purpose. Bitcoin is making its way to its global adoption which increases year by year, and for that, bitcoin becomes a threat to the government and traditional banking systems knowing it offers alternative system for transactions and store of value without the approval of the bank or the government itself. If Satoshi remains visible at the moment, his safety and security will definitely be at risk. Good thing he’s not.

Very correct according to the datas available the last post from the account is on the 12 December meaning yesterday, but active here in the forum on the 13th-12 this is somewhat a close case and should be overlooked considering the content of the statement which borders on an important actor in the development of Bitcoin and this forum, and if you have being following things, you will know already that the figures Satoshi did all that is needed to conceal his identity and also practices privacy at the highest level, this is quite commendable of him considering the nature of Bitcoin and how decentralization can be well practiced.

Privacy and decentralization

For Bitcoin to amount to it highest potential there must be none interference from external forces such as the developer and other actors in the Bitcoin network like the miners and developers who contribute to the project, it close consensiship and freedom is highly protected.

Satoshi aim for Bitcoin:

Let Bitcoin development and growth move organically with interference, and let the project evolve with time, which is the basis for Bitcoin decentralization, so Satoshi have to pay that sacrificed of disappearing, to protect his privacy and also the Bitcoin network, this is what make Bitcoin decentralized unlike altcoins who's developers and owners are known reason for their centralization.

I quite agree with you on this in the sense that there is 100 percent possibility that the said Satoshi Nakamoto whose account they said has been  inactive in the forum for fourteen years can be one among us, posting with a different account that is not known watching and monitoring what is going on here in the forum. But however, his anonymity is a factor and fundamental function of privacy which Bitcoin represents today. Indeed, it is really causing lots of curiosity among the government body where some are seeing a light in it and others are not while it is still making it's waves across nations.

When I first came into this forum, I didn’t realised he was the founder of the forum and when I knew I had to serve his name and also went through some of his posts here. I always wish I was around at the time he was still active here, even if I don’t get to interact with him, I’ll be glad I was once active the same time he was here. It has been a long fourteen years now and how everything is still working perfectly for bitcoin and its ecosystem is really amazing. His anonymity is really helping bitcoin to thrive and wherever he is now, he’ll be glad his project is still excelling.


He knows better why he did so, and if he was still a round till day, we may not have seen the progress bitcoin has achieved so far since its inception. I am very happy that he made this decision earlier when bitcoin was still been seen by many as a joke and something that will never become profitable in the future. It would have been hard on him now but he took the right step at the right time and that helped saved bitcoin and its ecosystem.

Maybe he is dead, you never know. Maybe that is how he has actually been able to stay anonymous for that long without anyone knowing his identity. It is possible that he did not die suddenly and maybe was diagnosed with the terminal of disease and then devoted his life towards creating Bitcoin and passed it on at the point of his death where he knew that he could no longer be in charge. I have watched too many movies, and maybe that is why I am thinking in this way, but there has definitely been benefit in him keeping his identity anonymous.

I think he was already prepared for this great day if remembrance because from what I have seen, I think he played his game well. He was able to stay anonymous till now and no one, even the great hackers that we have can not determine who Satoshi was. A great privilege he has given to this forum which has been quite active since his last writeup here many years ago. We need people like Satoshi Nakamoto who can create a remarkable landmarks that has been shocking the world till now making those people that have once criticize Bitcoin to see good reasons why they needed to buy and hold because one can easily make profits from it.
