You are right mate, we just need to appreciate his person and not bother much about what lead to why he created the system he created, and for whatever reason for which he has created the cryptocurrency for is not for his own benefits alone but for the benefits of the whole world, he has really made great impact in this world.
I believe we need to uncover the reason behind the creation of the system. That is how we can maximize the potential of the creation. There is no question about appreciating the person or group that created Bitcoin, but in order to go in the right path (main purpose of the creation) we need to know the hidden or real agenda behind the creation.
We really need more of great minded people as him to move this generation and the next to the next level. Very soon, government themselves are the one that will really be finding a way to get satoshi out in other for them to be able to get more ideas on what he can still offer in the area of economy.
Yes, I agree and you did not mention him being selfless. Shying from the spotlight and to avoid political power influencing the decentralized nature of his/their creation.
With a briliant mind as Satoshi Nakamoto, I doubt he lost everyting in 2008. I believe he predicted it that resulted for him to research and create something that can pobably solve a global market depression such as 2008 market crash. He just waited for the right time to launch it. And that 2008 market crash is the trigger.
