being private isn't a scam, are you too stupid to realize the creator of bitcoin is anonymous.

They are just very specific with their timeline, and maybe that's why they've said that in the 4th quarter of 2018 they are just developing and forming a team which is not bad at all and doesn't mean a scam project.

They are on queue on launching their site which is the 2nd quarter of 2019 (Right now), its hard to tell that this is a scam project with this kind of proof its not solid at all. Let's go deeper and look for a more suspicious activities with their project so we can warn the participants and of course the investors.

But the creator of Ethereum is not...

This may or may not be a scam per se but it looks like yet another shitcoin that will aimlessly wander the valley of altcoins, serving no real purpose other than providing a cashgrab for its devs.

In this day and age only creators of actually innovative blockchain tech are worthy of remaining anonymous. Copying somebody else's idea and tweaking it a bit is not a good enough reason to remain anonymous. If it is for you, you have to question your skills as an investor.

The last decent coin idea with an anonymous creator (he didn't even really create it so much as come up with the idea for it) was Grin. It was actually developed by Andrew Polestra, so this isn't even really a good example.

If you're reproducing old ideas, remaining anonymous is suspicious because it looks like you're just trying to make a quick buck without any negative blowback.
