The thread. Most Satoshi theories struggle with one question: why build the most valuable monetary network on earth and then walk away from the coins?
Points toward Satoshi
For Come-from-Beyond, the answer is native to how he talks. He calls his currencies “work-arounds.” He says his goal is “global peace… for that I have to push Qubic through 1T.” He talks about uploading his “personality matrix,” about AI as the real endgame. He treats billion-dollar networks as scaffolding to be abandoned once they’ve served — which is precisely what Satoshi did.
Bitcoin, in his framing of his own life, would have been one more step “to prepare the ground” — left behind the moment it worked.
Points against
This is a psychological fit, not evidence. Plenty of idealists claim money isn’t the point. And someone genuinely indifferent to money is also someone who might never have bothered mining a fortune in the first place.
Weight
A satisfying answer to Satoshi’s most puzzling trait — which is exactly why it should be held at arm’s length. Compelling, unprovable.
