I like to separate developer from founder.

Founder: One who establishes something or formulates the basis for something: the founder of a university.

Developer: creator - a person who grows, makes or invents things.

The developer of Bitcoin is known as Satoshi Nakamoto and may or may not be a single individual. He immediately abandoned Bitcoin after its development and left the alert keys to the guy listed below to promote.

The founder of Bitcoin was Gavin Andresen who for years was worshiped as a god on this forum. Any meaningless drivel he spouted was parroted back in quotes by every member of this forum like it was spun gold emanating from the vocal cords of Jesus Christ. He's now on par with a floating turd in a clogged truck stop toilet.

OMG! This news is new to me. Thank you very much for this. You mentioned that after the development of bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto immediately abandoned it and left the keys to Gavin Andersen, does it means that Andersen personally knows Satoshi Nakamoto?

From what I've read on this forum, Andresen communicated with Nakamoto via email and this forum about Bitcoin but I don't believe they ever met in person.

and so the andersen is the close people of satoshi? or he just a friend. but this is my first time heard about andersen in this forum.
