The great secret hiding in plain sight?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yODORwGmHqo

In the interview PETER STATES "There are a lot of things that I call secrets, which are truths that are hard but possible to discover and I think THERES ALWAYS A SECRET AT THE CORE OF EVERY GREAT BUSINESS, there’s some sort of research program, some area that people are really, really focused on and they think about really hard and it sort of advances their thinking to the point where they get an understanding about something that other people do not yet have."

NOTE AT 12-20 Peter says…
"At Paypal we were very interested in AH, UM, UM, UM sort of the crypto currencies and UM, AH encryption technology and currencies and could they be intersected and could you build a new digital currency and this was a question that animated us tremendously.

We DIDN'T QUITE SUCCEED in building one AT PAYPAL even though we had t-shirts that said we were going to be the new world currency. We didn’t succeed in that goal... but that sort of in depth substantive focus actually did help us think really hard about how do you architect a new payment system, how do you do certain things differently... "

INTERVIEWER ASKS - Why didn’t Paypal become Bitcoin?
PETER “Payment mechanisms and currencies are related but quite different sorts of things. Paypal set out to build a new world currency. We did build a rather powerful internet payment system.
Um Bitcoin I think at this point is somewhat the opposite, it has actually created a new currency.”

It just so happens a new currency was exactly what such great minds like he, Elon and a bunch of others were researching and "really, really focused on" for years…

Just seems way too co-incidental that they “didn’t quite succeed” at Paypal to do so yet then some mysterious secretive person called “Satoshi” does, and never touches his foundation stake worth billions... surely only a billionaire/s already (or budding billionaires) would devise such a clever scheme.

What a great secret to base a business model on that would be ;-)

Is this an insinuation that probably Peter Thiels can be the real Satoshi Nakamoto because he is a rich guy who may not be needing the coins he has on his own control? Actually, there are some who can be linking both names but if an investigation has to be based on facts and evidences then this conclusion can be shabby at best. And we should be thanking the heavens that eventually PayPal failed in its dream of building a global currency which can certainly be under its own control and administration. Had PayPal succeeded in creating the platform like that of Bitcoin, I am not so sure if their coin can have the same reception heaped on Bitcoin. Thinking about it, would they have named it PayCoin?

I think who Satoshi really is, we will never know. In any case, this person or group of people did a great job that laid the foundation for global global change. Blockchain is gradually entering our lives and ordinary people are already beginning to believe in the value of Bitcoin.

If Paypal would have come out with a currency it would have been a centralized currency, they built a shitty payment system and if you are getting huge amounts and they would freeze your account pending investigation and for months you will not hear from them, i am talking about my experience during 2007 and then after an year they would release your funds.

It just so happens a new currency was exactly what such great minds like he, Elon and a bunch of others were researching and "really, really focused on" for years…
These are not big secrets as many were trying hard from the early 90s to come up with a digital currency and none was successful, Arthur Budovsky succeeded for a while with his centralized currency and seeing the back lash they had from the authorities paypal changed their plans and continued with their model. Satoshi took all these information and created a brilliant decentralized network so that no one could touch and even during the early stages Satoshi was not happy to have an instant exposure as it could get into trouble and these are not secrets either Tongue.

Just seems way too co-incidental that they “didn’t quite succeed” at Paypal to do so yet then some mysterious secretive person called “Satoshi” does, and never touches his foundation stake worth billions... surely only a billionaire/s already (or budding billionaires) would devise such a clever scheme.
May be he thinks that Elon Musk is the secret billionaire behind the Satoshi moniker  Cheesy Tongue.
There are no secrets here and if you think that there are some, please enlighten me.
