How satoshi could be anonymous when he was the only full-node ?

[southafricadude]

I am sure he would have used an IP that could not easily be traced back to him...every other angle was covered, the IP would be the most obvious and probably the first thing he secured.

Hi, how satoshi could be anonymous when he was the first and only  node (9th of January 2009)? You cannot run a server over tor aren‘t ? Did he rent an anonymous server ? Has anybody informations about that ?

A really good question that got me on to thinking mode how did really satoshi did that? But here are the thing that could possibly got me thinking he got to work and make all of this its because the number, the obvious

1. He is a mad genius when it comes to making and moving everything here in the website.
2. Also he maybe anonymous for the reason he created something worth more and price pooping.
3. Like others her got anonymous because he wants to keeps his identity safe.

Got to ready something about this before but if they truly say what is his identity it can be other people not Japanese,Chinese  or korean we have no proof only the person who is relatives or close to satoshi can know.

We have some fact but in reality do we really believe that this is legit, a true information that could spread? no one really knows only speculation and beliefs because of written facts saying thatbthis person is satoshi itself.

Not only the Satoshi, we are all anonymous. His disappearance after creating bitcoin is to protect his life from the Mafia. He could be any one of the 7 billion people in the world. When he created this crypto, no one knew who he was in the world.

Hmm, well I think it is pretty easy to remain anonymous and Im sure he was smart enough to cover all his bases in this sense. If he hadn't Im sure someone (most likely an ABC agency) would have found out who he/they were by now.

So we must understand the Satoshi was quite aware of what would happen so he decide to hide himself from the beginning? Isn't it a little suspicious?

Well it depends. I doubt he would predict the future of his project, but he was smart enough to use a made up name to begin with.

I remember when people asked me also why I never used my name online, or why my username or anything like that didn't approach my real details. Thought that view of suspicion was a legacy of the 1990s, but I guess we'll still have people immediately assuming that the need/requirement for privacy = the intention to hide illegal/suspicious activity.

Why is it so suspicious to want to maintain privacy? And even if the intent was to hide, for whatever reason, why is that suspicious? Bitcoin was never intended to have a "leader" or "figurehead", which is a huge hint that tells you anyone claiming to be Satoshi isn't.
