Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, hasnโt been heard from in ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ญ๐ฏ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐, and to this day, ๐ฃ๐ค ๐ค๐ฃ๐ ๐ ๐ฃ๐ค๐ฌ๐จ ๐ฌ๐๐ค ๐๐ ๐ง๐๐๐ก๐ก๐ฎ ๐ฌ๐๐จ. This has led many to fearfully speculate that Satoshi could have had nefarious intentions, or even that he was a government agent.
However, in this chapter, TheGuySwann (npub1h8nโฆrpev), knutsvanholm (npub1jt9โฆla9y), and PABLOF7z (npub1l2vโฆajft) delve into ๐ธ๐ฉ๐บ ๐๐ข๐ต๐ฐ๐ด๐ฉ๐ชโ๐ด ๐ช๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต๐ช๐ต๐บ ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฆ๐ด๐ฏโ๐ต ๐ฎ๐ข๐ต๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ, and why itโs ๐ท๐ช๐ต๐ข๐ญ for anyone starting on their Bitcoin journey to understand this fact.
Below is Pablo Fernandezโs answer, as written in โ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ค๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐โ:

As entertaining and interesting as this type of question truly is, we need to recognize it as ultimately irrelevant. If the โwho,โ โwhat,โ and โwhyโ of Bitcoinโs creation were important then the whole premise of Bitcoin would be moot, particularly because the creation of Bitcoin is that of non-hierarchical digital money. If the ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ฐ behind the creation of Bitcoin were of any relevance whatsoever, that would imply a hierarchy and that would render the entire endeavor pointless.
So, how can you trust Bitcoin if it was created by a three-letter agency? By studying and realizing that truly no one, not even its creator, has power over you or any other user of the network.
Again, non-hierarchical digital money ๐ช๐ด the invention.
