Do you know why Satoshi Nakamoto disappeared? Many believe it was to avoid risks. But from a system design perspective, there might be a more important reason. In 2010, Bitcoin experienced a serious vulnerability where someone created 184B Bitcoins out of thin air. After the flaw was discovered, Satoshi quickly fixed the code. But the real key point is that the entire network chose to trust him and followed his plan to perform a rollback.

The problem lies precisely here. In a decentralized system, if at a critical moment it must rely on a single person to make decisions, then that person becomes the center of the system. And the very purpose of Bitcoin is to eliminate the center.
So a contradiction arises: if Satoshi continues to exist, Bitcoin cannot be truly decentralized. If Bitcoin wants to be genuinely decentralized, Satoshi must disappear. Many people think Satoshi invented Bitcoin.
In a certain sense, the final work he completed was not Bitcoin itself. It was removing himself from Bitcoin. Because the most important hallmark of a mature system is not having a great creator. But being able to continue operating even after the creator has left.
