This is the only thing that makes sense, think about it, I don't care how informed you are there is no way you could make so many decisions in the design and early days of bitcoin that eventually panned out to be right just by chance 
If this is true, take for instance how he asked wikileaks to not use bitcoin for donations a few years back http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/09/16/i_saved_bitcoin_and_the_perfect_draft_of_history_says_assange/
Look at how the reward system for mining has panned out, look at what its achieved.
Look at how mass adoption is taking off just at the right time...
The more you look at the fine details and the events over the last few years the more you find yourself thinking "wow that was lucky", or "hey that worked out nice".
See?
I think satoshi has not disappeared, he's just gone back home "whenever" that is.... probably to enjoy his lil stash of bitcoins... 2020 maybe?

While I would love to believe that...I just can't. There is no reason why time travel in the reverse is known to be possible, and most importantly, if it ever becomes possible in the future, then time travelers would show up in the now. Then consider that perhaps time travelers are told they may not interfere with the past, but then think about how many people would break that rule in order to attempt to attain personal gain. I think the only way time travel may be possible, is if there's a limit on how far you can go back as a maximum cap, perhaps something like 60 years or something, so that it does get discovered in the future. But far beyond 60 years, so that leaves them unable to visit us.
Satoshi is simply a genius, you could look at the atomic bomb and attribute similar qualities about how well it worked out, with the timing and how it ended WW2 and so on. It all just worked out really well, as bad as it may be, it still fits the same properties you've attributed to bitcoin.
