Yeah I agree. I think Satoshi left because he knew it was a big risk if he stayed. The way some countries act, it seems clear if he was a public figure, he'd already be in prison.
I hope he is still alive, admiring what he has created.
I'm amazed he hasn't moved / spent any of his bitcoin. Which makes me think maybe he isn't with us any more.
On the other hand, he could have got access to bitcoin he mined completely separately that we dont even know about. Even having 100 bitcoin would be more than enough to live happily.
By not moving the 1.1million stash makes people think he isn't alive any more, which is the best cover if you don't want to be identified.
A mystery that many people will talk about for many many years to come...
