When the digital spark of blockchain first ignited during the winter of 2009, the first transfer of 10 Bitcoins from "Satoshi Nakamoto" to Hal Finney seemed to contain the most sophisticated scheme of the crypto world. Analyzing the behavior patterns of developers, it is common for creators to use their own accounts as a testing basis point, and this seemingly unconventional initial transaction resembles a meticulously orchestrated "genesis declaration"—by means of an counterintuitive operation, it planted the initial clue in the identity maze.

The coincidence of geographical location is also worth pondering. The fact that California-based cryptographer Hal Finney and Japanese-American scholar Dorian Nakamoto are only two blocks apart has led one to wonder if Satoshi Nakamoto, a codename infused with oriental elements, draws inspiration from real people around him. This clever weaving of physical location and virtual identities is akin to the basic principle of "obfuscation and diffusion" in cryptography, which hides the true identity of the founder behind the smokescreen of the naming game.

The correlation on the timeline may be more enlightening. At the end of 2010, as Bitcoin gradually demonstrated its potential, Satoshi Nakamoto suddenly disappeared from the world of code, coinciding with the phase of Hal Finney's worsening condition due to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Under the dual pressures of the competition for computing power and the countdown of life, this cryptographic master may have been using his last strength to plant the concept of decentralization into the soil of the digital world—his choice to withdraw from the public eye during the deterioration of his health may, to some extent, represent the ultimate interpretation of the "decentralization" concept through his personal life trajectory.
