Do you think Gavin Andresen will make a comeback?

[Abiky]

Gavin Andresen was known to be one of the most "iconic" Bitcoin developers in the pioneer cryptocurrency's early days. After he talked about Craig Wright being Satoshi, he disappeared. Some time ago (around 1 or 2 years ago), he worked on something related to Bitcoin Cash (which you can see on his Github page). But after that, there hasn't been any activity related to Mr. Andresen whatsoever.

Do you think by any chance he'll make a comeback into the world of crypto? He could be real useful for making either Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash stronger than ever before. I know that we already have many talented developers working on both projects, but Gavin is skillful and knowledgeable about Blockchain since he's been a pioneer in the industry.

What do you think? ??

gavin way back in 2011-12 said he would be retiring from the project after 3-5 years.. so the whole leaving core and stuff was all planned.

i dont see him returning and being allowed to be part of core for obvious reasons. so he will just work on other projects if he got bored of retirement

by the way. the gavin/faketoshi drama. was just media entertainment. not the real reason he left

Being pioneer in the industry does not mean that you are still perform as you did. I used to be we developer long ago and I was really good but I have left that sector long ago. Now when I see these days programmers and developers I sometimes feels myself really outdated and most of them are out of my scope.

My point is that technology changes every single day and if you are keeping yourself up to date with these and are not consistence then being a pioneer is not going to give you any advantage. Bitcoin community evolved and even person like Satoshi can not make much impact anymore. Bitcoin is not a one node or few nodes. It's thousands nodes and millions are into it.

He’s probably not going to return to the whole scene since he already left, plus the fact that he’s into other projects and is quite fruitful and satisfied there. Perhaps he’s been doing some minor checks here and there in bitcoin’s code but to be a full-time dev is already out of the question for him. But yeah, we don’t know how people in retirement’s mind works. First they can tell you that they’re so done and the next time when they’re bored, they’ll go back to what they’ve been doing previously.

He is now part of bcash team, and I think that they have a lot of problems with their latest bcash hardfork, so he is busy  
More time he spends with Roger, less are the chances to see him back working on Bitcoin.

[DarkDays]

As one of the earliest pioneers in the industry, Gavin is likely exorbitantly rich by now.

He has probably also already accomplished his goals of producing a truly decentralized economy. As such, why would he come back? There is nothing left for him here.

The industry has been set on the path he planned for, it is best if he sits at the sidelines and watches it flourish without him being a centralized guiding force.

Coming back to Bitcoin Core will be massively difficult and challenging to Gavin, as he'll receive enormous setback from the existing devs. He'll most likely be welcome to Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin SV though.

He planned his retirement, I'm not sure of the exact reasons, but it was pretty clear that he was going to return around 2015, and even the Craig Wright nonsense just seemed like fucking with the media, not a reason for his departure.

He could be working hard, every day, trying to fork BTC into the new biggest coin that goes mainstream and makes it big, but I doubt it, he's likely just enjoying life and screwing around with his other project as a hobby.

Gavin Andresen failed to maintain his spotlight career on crypto development. He's still active crypto person but he is not involved in any major crypto development.
His was advocating for betterment of bitcoin network. His right to commit was revoked for claiming Craig Wright the real satoshi nakamoto and supported bitcoincash.

[Darker45]

He has made his mark on Bitcoin and the bigger cryptocurrency space already. He needs some rest away from the enormous yet still growing project. He was the single man who Satoshi hand-picked himself for taking over Bitcoin when Satoshi decided to leave the project for good. He must have seen a lot of knowledge, capacity, and potential in Gavin for choosing him to take over his place. It was not an easy thing to do, passing your masterpiece to someone else. And I think Gavin deserves some credit for keeping it alive and well after the creator left.   

[Eugenar]

Gavin Andersen is basically the chief scientist of bitcoin before. If we are to evaluate bitcoin now, all are working smoothly, if innovations are needed, there are people already capable to provide updates to bitcoin. The task of Gavin as the chief scientist isn't necessary today as there is no reason for him to comeback unless a huge software maintenance is needed when bitcoin's technology has been compromised. So far, I see the reason why Gavin isn't in Bitcoin today is there is other works to accomplish for him to make his time efficient.

[Shasha80]

I think Gavin Andresen really retired from the bitcoin project, as he said. And he is also one of the richest people with the bitcoin
that he has at the moment, in my opinion there is no reason why he should return. Even though we know the ability and his knowledge
of bitcoin is great. But everyone has the right to decide the best for himself, so as Gavin Andresen who decided to retire, we all have to
respect the decision he made.

[crwth]

Just like everybody said, why would he come back?

The possibility of that would be minimal, but the best thing he could do is probably consult different types of blockchain-related projects, knowing that he has a solid background, being one of the developers who started all of these Cryptos.

i figure he's been keeping a low profile because "time heals all wounds". at some point, he will probably resurface and engage in some kind of underhanded campaign like bitcoin XT or bitcoin classic again.

he doesn't have much to add at this point. bitcoin moved beyond gavin a long time ago.

maybe in my opinion gavin andresen will never go back as far as we see today there are many people who are very knowledgeable about bitcoin or people who are very affected by bitcoin they disappear without certainty they will return, unlike fools today when they don't don't know what nothing about bitcoin but they always claim themselves to be fake satoshi to take advantage so that some of their projects are in demand by crypto users.

I am sure that just like the real Satoshi Nakamoto, this guy must have felt that he had contributed enough and it was time to go and to give new people the chance to prove their mettle regarding Bitcoin and its development. Maybe this is better this way so we will not have special people all around the coin, influencing it in its every turn and direction. Though I have to admit that there is really need for a solid leadership in the platform, most specially people who can be providing the innate understanding and comprehensive knowledge on the nuts and bolts of Bitcoin. But then again, maybe what happened can be a big blessing, in retrospect.

bitcoin cash is not something that could become strong(er) with personalities! it is fundamentally flawed as it is a poor copy of bitcoin without having anything original of its own. and that means it has no reason whatsoever to even exist.

[mindrust]

He was fooled by Craig Wright. At some point believed thst Craig was satoshi. A guy like that should never come near of leading a project like bitcoin. Btw it doesn't matter if really believed Craig or did it just for the moniez. The damage is done, so is Gavin.

Gavin is a complete clown.

I don't think that's going to be something he'll be interested it, it's fairly obvious that he is very smart, rich, and pretty influential, and the most a project can offer to him is even more fame and money which just isn't needed.

I think it's fairly likely that he will return in a couple years or so, having slowly worked on his own personal blockchain or fork of BTC, and then try and get people to use his solution, which I don't think is going to end up happening - he's been outdated.

[Kprawn]

Gavin Andresen has shown time and time again that he is not capable to lead such an experiment. When he gave up his role as lead developer, he

admitted that the task was to difficult for him (being responsible for Billions of Dollars invested in this technology, is very stressful) He then went

and joined Mike Hearn and they tried to do a hostile takeover with BitcoinXT and that failed miserably. Then the thing with Craig Wright (FakeToshi)

happened and that tainted his reputation to such a degree that nobody would trust his judgement to run such an important project. Just imagine

what would have happened if Craig Wright and Gavin took control of this experiment. (You would have paid royalties to Craig Wright to use the

Blockchain)
