Do a lot of alts have a trust problem? yes or no? and why?

i think yes. they have a trust problem. why should i trust someone that is hiding behind a pseudonym? i think a trustworthy dev can tell us his/her name.why should they not tell the public who they are if they do not want to scam someone.

what do you think?


why is satoshi anon again?

IMHO a REAL cryptocurrency does not need a dev which name/address is public.
crypto should work without any centralization and focusing on a dev just adds centralization.

get a team of independant devs which believe in the project is way better: they can check each other ;-)

in the beginning it may help to get starting capital and investors... but a currency should not be for shortterm!

Still, do people trust Satoshi, or do they trust the devs that have checked the code over the last 5+ years? When Bitcoin came out it had virtually no value or trust, and I think to date only Dash has had any sort of long-term success with a dev team that's not clearly identifiable (i.e. not just a known name, but you can find background details on the dev team)
