1 time only when talking about finance and the power finance has. They say something like:
"Why do you think the creator of Bitcoin wanted to remain anonymous?"
I think it was Jacob Applebaum
And that was it lol

that was not "it". If one actually listens, a not just scans for the word "bitcoin", one can find this gem:

...isn't actually the freedom and the privacy of the economic interactions more important than the freedom of speech?

I think there are a lot of projects and announcements waiting in the wings until after the block reward halves. I think a lot of people don't want the price going up a lot while the fruit is hanging low.

I would rather believe that than the alternative notion that the luminary cypherpunks have little interest in Bitcoin.

One possible explanation is envy. These are crypto-nerds and probably none of them is satoshi.
