Cryptic Origins

As we all know, it’s all right there on the blockchain. That’s the whole point. Everyone sees what everyone else is doing. It’s an indelible, immutable record of happenings from now stretching all the way back to the start. And it all started with Satoshi Nakamoto. But Satoshi came before the blockchain. That means records of Satoshi are mutable. If records of Satoshi are mutable then Satoshi is delible. Years after giving the world BitCoin, Satoshi signed-off, leaving behind billions in BTC untouched for over a decade and counting. We know the money is there because we can see it on the blockchain as Satoshi intended. But why did Satoshi go? Who is Satoshi? One person? An entire agency, perhaps? Have you ever wondered what that name translates to in English? Is anyone ready to ask WHAT is Satoshi? Can you have a blockwork universe without a blockmaker? The answer’s not entirely clear.
