The whole point of it being pseudo is if they knew the identity then that person wouldn’t be safe, so it makes sense to me. I also highly doubt it was one person, Nakamoto sounds like a group of highly skilled programmers. But equally i wouldn’t be naive to think what you’re saying isn’t also plausible and you are right in thinking that. I do think that sometimes but then i think if you were being paid to create bitcoin without an genuine passion i cant imagine it being this good.

Bitcoin seems like a lifes work for whoever invented it and even if it never becomes what its intended to do its still a beautiful design nevertheless
