BU = Nakamoto's Consensus

As described in Satoshi's white paper.

I'm not suggesting one thing over another... but it is quite funny/scary how quickly this sort of thinking can lead to an almost religious type of thinking that puts Satoshi on some sort of pedestal. The wonderful thing about open sourced projects is that it's open for anyone to contribute too. The critical and very important part of this is if someone in the project disappears from the face of the earth, the project can still continue; and therefore the project itself isn't centralized.

It gets dangerous when you try to read into stuff that's in the white paper and apply it to today's situation(s). Same goes for Jesus fanatics...

That is correct but it's only as much as the words that he wrote in the project. There are some other things that aren't written there like some crazy conspiracy or ideology about the whole thing that isn't confirmed yet or anything. I know this for sure because no one's writing every single idea that comes to his mind. The mindset of the person that actually created the whole thing is much better than the people that are going to study it.

This is why most people that are working on a project always have someone beside them. Just in case they die, they have someone that has almost the same thinking as them and knows as much as them in the project. It's like passing it on to another person and the person don't need that much time to cope up compared to people that are going to read the whole paper and do research first.
