People ask why I write my newsletter under "Satoshi's Lawyer" instead of my real name.
Here's the honest answer.
I didn't pick a pseudonym to hide. I picked it because the idea matters more than the person saying it.
Bitcoin was never supposed to have a face. Satoshi disappeared on purpose. No cult of personality, no guru, no one to worship or cancel. Just the protocol, standing on its own.
When I started writing the newsletter, I kept asking myself: do I want people to read this because of who I am, or because of what it says?
Every time, the answer was the second one.
A name creates a filter. People read you differently once they know your age, your job, your face, your bio. They start reacting to the messenger. I didn't want that noise between the reader and the idea.
"Satoshi's Lawyer" is a joke and a mission statement at the same time.
That's the whole reason. Not mystery for mystery's sake. Just trying to let the idea speak louder than the byline.
Why do you think Satoshi disappeared? 👀👇
