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 .

Maybe he want to emphasize that those devs which transparent on their identity is more trusted. And to many things puzzled him and he cannot fully trust bitcoin since the identity of the creator remain unknown. But people should know that despite of those things the identity of the owner doesn't affect the current stand of bitcoin. Many people still adapt or accumulate its because they know that bitcoin is good asset. Many has been curious to know the reason of deciding to be anonymous, but majority just don't care about it and want to respect the creators decision on things he want to do.

I think one thing that has kept bitcoin at the lime light is the strong community they have because I think among all projects, bitcoin has one of the largest and most supportive community of users who trust the coin even without knowing the where about of the originator.

At the point, there shouldn’t be any need wanting to get bothered by the presence of the originator because bitcoin has proven on several occasions to be trustworthy and ready to deliver, hence rather than been bothered about satoshi, we should be thankful to him for his inventions and be bothered about how much more to get actively involved in the entire process.
