The day Satoshi Nakamoto said,
“I’ve moved on to other things.”
No one realized that this small idea would one day change the entire global financial system. Today, Bitcoin is not just a coin. it is a symbol of freedom. It proves that the thinking of a single person can change history. If you learn crypto today, tomorrow you can become an inspiration to others. Let the journey begin today.

The statement wasn’t just about moving away from the crypto community I think it was about the completion of the technology and transactions structure and the bitcoin network security. Because what he achieved was that with or without he, the blockchain will still be in active and transaction will not stop so him moving on doesn’t affect the innovation.

Satoshi may likely be a group, no one is very sure. Bitcoin is surely a financial revolution and not just an ordinary coin.

In learning crypto, you should be cautious of getting much involved in useless pump and dump shitcoin that holds no value, such things are a waste of money and not worth meddling into with much capital, just a little if you must. You can keep learning about bitcoin and if you have the ability, invest in it since it is a store of value and it holds much better promise than other crypto coins.

Let the journey begin today.

Your journey might be beginning today specifically, it is good you know that a lot of people here have begun their journey way before now.

It is fine if you got into bitcoin today, you're not very late to the party. In fact, you're more than welcome to adopt it.

Then you will have to come up with your own idea, make sure it's something the world is really in dear need of just as the world was in dear need of something like bitcoin (something that equals freedom) before Satoshi brought it forth and it was embraced, this is how you become an inspiration to others same way Satoshi is an inspiration to alot of us today..

You don't become an inspiration to other people by simply learning crypto, you can't learn crypto more than those who have learnt and even developed successful crypto companies, yet, they are not inspirational to people more than Satoshi nakamoto is, Satoshi is the brain behind the whole idea of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, credits will always go to him.. If you want to be an inspiration to people just as he is, then discover a common problem in the world and find a lasting solution to it, get down to work, build and bring that solution to life, then you might just become another celebrated person like Satoshi.

That decision of Satoshi Nakamoto made Bitcoin project more decentralized and it also helped Bitcoin community becoming decentralized without any effect from ideas, opinions or development contributions from Satoshi Nakamoto.

However if you say something that changed the world, it must be Bitcoin White Paper, Bitcoin Genesis block mined by Satoshi Nakamoto and even some projects as foundations for Bitcoin success.
This email from Satoshi Nakamoto to Gavin Andresen.
Bitcoin prehistory.

I’ve moved on to other things and will probably be unavailable.

That email was sent on 26 April 2011 and today is not 26 April. It's not right time to have any anniversary for this email.

Now, first of all, I am new here, so my image link is not showing.
This is because the forum has some rules.

Your journey might be beginning today specifically, it is good you know that a lot of people here have begun their journey way before now.

It is fine if you got into bitcoin today, you're not very late to the party. In fact, you're more than welcome to adopt it.

believe that after reading this forum post, many newcomers like me will feel encouraged.
However, we need to learn properly by following the correct rules and start by taking advice from experienced members in this field.
I hope you will guide us and stay supportive

You can only do as much as you have the funds.

To make results, you need capital, and for that, you need a stable job and sources of income.

Without it, even with all the knowledge there is, you won't go further than theory.

[henry_of_skalitz]

You can be an inspiration to others if you have something to say or come up with yourself, or if a person we are talking about is close enough to you bond-wise.

To become a symbol, you need to break the pattern and go beyond it, that's what Satoshi did exactly.

That statement from Satoshi is open for debate. He could have move on to other projects, or him just moving and stop Bitcoin and hand it over to other developers.

And for his invention, just remember that it didn't came out of the blue, he has some inspiration before he developed it and make it run. There are others predecessors that are not successful.

So he has his inspiration in creating Bitcoin, and so it's like a gift as it's a life changing for those who understand and now many people became self made millionaires or living a better life right now.

He or they had the biggest thing anybody needs to create something new - determination.

Not looking at previous experiences as the defining ones, but those that shape our future and how we will interact with the same concepts after such an experience.

[zakservers]

Actually all the technology we are using today and systems are the idea of a human brain, that once incites into a human brain, from computers to networks and internet and then bitcoin, surely it all emerged as a manifestation into a human brain, including the modern financial systems too, but yes BTC has changed the landscape alot, but many more to come, we should stay active to adopt with anything new that comes, and may be the future shape of BTC and crypto.

Many people have learnt about crypto even in its early days but still weren't sure that how high the markets will go overtime and at the same time there are people who learnt about crypto very late but have made fortune in it. So, I believe it's on a person whose knowledge about finances make him/her getting financial freedom rather than learning about crypto.

Satoshi gave Bitcoin to the community and few people from the community made fortune by investing in Bitcoin at its early days and few are still struggling because instead of Bitcoin they invested in wrong coins/tokens. That's why in crypto world choosing a good project is more important than learning crypto alone.

[Sammye3]

Nobody knows the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, whether it's a person or a group? But one thing is sure, the pseudonym was the foundation of Bitcoin's creation and should be remembered till ages to come, and given the respect he deserves.

With Bitcoin, there is no central authority of the banks over our finances, no trust less money amongst others and that has being a good advantage of Bitcoin over central banks. Satoshi's last message wasn't to keep us in suspense or make us lose hope on Bitcoin, but it's only explains Bitcoin's freedom from centralization and presented a world of decentralization.

[Btcdeybodi]

Satoshi Nakamoto making that statement that he has moved on to other things was just to distract people especially the government from making further researches to unveil who Satoshi Nakamoto is. I do not completely believe that Satoshi had moved on to other things as he said. They are very much involved as bitcoin developers hence the reason why bitcoin has gotten this level of success over the years. Satoshi's idea of creating bitcoin is not just something that came up abruptly, it was a calculated project that led to this masterpiece. However, everyone cannot be a creator, there are those who are blessed and gifted in developing a project.

It is something truly touching about a person who creates something changing the world and disappearing. However, we are also imposing a great deal on a man we hardly know, and whatever we are imposing is more of what we would like Bitcoin to be than what it is. Your post reminds me of LinkedIn hustling posts. As there is some finish line where you have got it all figured out and now you are either free or rich or both.

But Satoshi did not leave us a road map to financial freedom, he left us a tool that has to be maintained and philosophically questioned (which most people do not bother to do because it is boring, in comparison to price charts). The mythology is easier than the work.

The entire symbol of freedom process leaves me uneasy since the freedom to whom. Assuming that you are already banked, already have stable currency, already have property rights, Bitcoin is a speculative asset. When you are not banked, when hyperinflation strikes, when you are not subject to capital controls, then perhaps it is freedom. We seldom set this distinction, however. We simply say the word freedom and leave people to write whatever they wish it to be.

I am still puzzled what is those other things Satoshi said when he left the Bitcoin scene.  Anyone had an idea?

I do not think that Bitcoin is a single idea, but rather was built on many existing ideas.  Just check the Bitcoin Technology foundations ^{[1][2][3][4][5]} to see what I am talking about. What's great is that Satoshi assembled these ideas into one working system and implemented it.  Thus, we have what we call decentralized cryptocurrency, called Bitcoin, powered by blockchain technology.

Yes, this is not actually a single idea that Satoshi thought of, but it took several pieces of past technology and assembled them into a new technology that is now called Bitcoin.

The Main Components or foundations that build Bitcoin with pre-existing past technologies such as
1. Public Key Cryptography
2. Proof-of-Work (Hashcash)
3. Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Networking
4. Timestamp Server (Linked Timestamping)
5. Merkle Trees.

Satoshi did an amazing job of breaking and combining all five technologies, anyone can mint money, as long as they contribute security (electricity/hashrate) to the network.
Satoshi created a system where greed (the desire to get Bitcoin) actually secures the network and is called Difficulty Adjustment and Economic Incentives.

I think the idea wasn’t just Bitcoin itself but the incentive structure behind it.
A system that aligns incentives between participants and removes the need for trust in intermediaries was the real breakthrough. That’s why the concept keeps evolving regardless of individual figures, the design outlives the creator.
