Satoshi's lesson is that you don't need to be the next Einstein in order to change the world. Nor do you need to have much money, or influence with the world's "movers & shakers". You just need to put in the effort.

A great takeaway. It would be interesting to know the details of all the things satoshi had to overcome. Surely people were wondering what was taking up so much time and if the outcome would be worth the effort. I'm sure there was lots of discouragement.

Understanding the root problem in our society, having to trust banks and other corporate institutions lead to this. I think it's also smart to have him stay anonymous knowing that if he'd identified, it could develop an outrage, currently having created Bitcoin and people acknowledging it only when it has already a significant price, especially in the media today, he could be branded by anything and we know that the news is fast. That prevented himself to have a conflict of interest which is good. If you are human, I think some point in your life, and you want to be recognized, whether or not you are an introvert or extrovert. Personal struggles are what I could think of when it comes to this.

The thought of creating such technology such as Bitcoin has lots of ups and downs. Probably there was a lot of discouragement and we are thankful that he didn't stop. It has come a long way and with that great effort, has brought birth to a new era.
