A recent comment on of my posts I received on Medium. At least it is not as aggressive as other maxi comments. Although it points to a certain fact. BTC maximalists don't care for the technology. They have convinced themselves they are fighting a just cause, and don't want to research further. " Bitcoins creator asked for nothing in return and simply walked away. " I only wanted to share my thoughts on this part, since it seems that people think Satoshi was a good Samaritan. Losing the keys is the most possible explanation. Nobody would just create a revolutionary network as an anon and want nothing in return. Satoshi hinted at the possible appreciation of the price of BTC on various occasions. The price of BTC was in Satoshi's interests so the most logical assumption is Satoshi lost access to the 1 million early mined BTC. #Maximalists

that is stupid. Assuming Satoshi was 1 person right? He created this tech and didn't just walk away... he had Bitcoins of his own and if one day the tech took off he would be insanely rich. Not saying he did it for the money but was that always a light at the end of the tunnel? heck yeah!
It is looking stupid indeed. Why would anyone go into this trouble just to enrich some guys he never even met? LOL! It sounds terrible as an argument.
