How does Satoshi's anonymity affect the trust of users and investors in the Bitcoin network? Can this anonymity be considered an asset or a drawback for the legitimacy of the cryptocurrency?
Knowing that Satoshi's wallet has not been assessed for a long time gives the confidence that he didn't create Bitcoin just to become rich. His anonymity also proves he wants the system to be truly decentralised. Trusting a system that runs smoothly without the identity creator is better because a known inventor can easily influence the product. So Satoshi's facelessness is an asset to Bitcoin.
