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?
I think op is trying to compare with other mini projects where the brain behind the projects are expected to be made known but the reverse is the case with bitcoin as the anonymity of satoshi has built more trust in the community as it is believed that, it is decentralized and can’t be controlled by one individual not even satoshi himself , leaving everyone with speculations and predictions.
Personally I think the anonymity of bitcoin is key to maintaining the decentralized nature of the coin, hence answering to your question, we’ll tag it an asset .
