On April 26, 2011, almost exactly 12 years ago, Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto sent his final emails to fellow developers in which he made clear he had “moved on to other projects”

On Apr 23rd, 2011, Satoshi Nakamoto wrote one of his/her final emails. “I've moved on to other things. It’s in good hands with Gavin and everyone.”

​

​

I've moved on to other things.

A few days later, he sent one last message to the newly-assigned Bitcoin Core Maintainer Gavin Andresen.

​

I wish you wouldn't keep talking about me as a mysterious shadowy figure.

This email, or email excerpt, was quoted by Gavin Andresen in an interview in 2014.

​

I don't know about you but I could be reading these emails for days. There is something about Satoshi being mysterious figure. I also believe that in that doing so he protected BTC in a certain way.

Nobody understands why did he dissapeared like that, creating mysterious-cultish figure around him, making people to ask questions without getting an answer to this day.

Reading his emails you could see how far ahead was he from anyone, and how he saw things clearly then most of the people back then.
