Very few people on this forum know the history (or are not interested in it at all), but the point is that Satoshi showed no intention of disappearing until he was criticized or until his closest associate went behind his back to "present" BTC to one of the three-letter agencies for a handful of $. It seems to me that he had no choice but to leave, because if he had stayed I have no doubt that someone would have exposed him sooner or later.
Wow. This is fascinating and I had no idea about this piece of story. Do you have any idea why this is not well known at all? I always thought it was just Satoshi possibly disappearing because Bitcoin was becoming too big.I think most people don't care what exactly happened then, they just want to believe that Satoshi simply disappeared, maybe for the reason you mention - but did BTC become too big at the end of 2010? Of course not, that can't be the reason, the reasons are much more complex, and since there are two topics, I wrote my opinion here.
