Their is a point to being anonymous.
yes, there are two points:
99% = To Scam
1% = for whatever valid reason he has (or maybe he is also AFRAID like Satoshi as what you said). lol
I think Satoshi remained anon because he was afraid of Govts., central banks and banks and he knew that his work will never be aprreciated by them.
Dont you see that Bitcoin can be and is the currency of the world of Terrorism and Drugism. Well thats the darker side of it, however the brighter sides are also many like- Micropayments, end to bank's monopoly, etc.
Just like Satoshi is afraid of Govt authorities, Banks are afraid of blockchains. They dont like blockchains though they speak about private blockchains a lot these days but you go and ask any banker and he will whisper this in your ears- "why the hell is the blockchain technology even invented."
I think privates will ultimatley fail and public blockchains like Bitcoin will eventually rule. In order to this you need to remain anon becuase you are fighting against bad bitches.
Anonymity nowadays is obsolete- How stupid is that. Where it is required it is required. The question of obsoletion doesnt come.
Dont compare Satoshi's anonymity to current happenings in cryptocurrency world. lol.. that was 2009, and never been in ICO..
So what can you say about, Vitalik in Eth, and other successful coins with transparency and accepting interviews??? Brave enough???
I think on Respectonomy platform you can even write a formula of an Atomic Bomb, since it is self moderated and censorship resistant. Please correct me here if I am worng!!
Such platforms should be developed in Anonymity and I guess they have earned your trust by keeping escrow.
I dont know about others but atleast I will be investing in the concept
This is all I can say,
ANONYMOUS Dev and Team + ICO/IPO = NOOOO WAYYYY!!!!!!

I dont care about trusted escrows. Dev can always cheat if they want!
