His just too wise to be still here and witness all the drama of cryptocurrency especially on regulations and sec bullshitness.
The fact that no one knows who's responsible for Bitcoin is what gives its power, in my opinion. Let's assume Gavin was Satoshi and instead of Satoshi Nakamoto, it was written in the whitepaper “Gavin Andresen”. The whole system would corrupt; everyone could consider Gavin as the true owner of the project and he may was even approached by governments.
Figuratively, Bitcoin would have a central point of failure.
Exactly, Vitalik's influance (along with few organization) on ETH community is the proof.
Yep. That's a perfect example. You can't really consider Ethereum decentralized due to Vitalik's influence.
