To me i feel the reason Satoshi bowed out of crypto as Satoshi is to keep Bitcoin completely decentralised and the identity of the creator forever anonymous. But Satoshi must have found his way back to the crypto space with a different identity or maintaining the name he/she or the group was known by before venturing into creating Bitcoin. For me i staying anonymous was and is the reason for the backout as Satoshi
Hhmm, interesting but it seems you are right. We really can feel that btc is decentralized when we know that no one controls it, I mean the owner. He or they are out of the scene. Unlike to a common crypto which their devs or creators are active. We think they are centralized or semi decentralize only.
I don't think satoshi bow out due to security reasons. Why will be arrested when he only made a great invention which are helpful for all? And if they will arrest him then why won't those authorities arrest other crypto creators first? Since their identities are already exposed on public but that didn't happen except only for those who commit a scam.
