I thought it was obvious, but I guess not.

No, you don’t do work for money. You start an open source project and get many people to run your software. You meanwhile generate as many early rewards as you can (you can even do it under multiple accounts) and when the ecosystem is up and running, you’ll be the mysterious founder, generating millions (or billions) in passive income.

Sounds familiar? It should…

Simply never move money using your first few accounts, and whoever early people you pay, have them stake your currency for a long time, and borrow against it on decentralized lending marketplaces, to avoid spooking people that the mysterious founder has moved their money.

So lemme spell it out: This is what you're claiming Satoshi did / is doing.
Well that's not interesting at all, then. How repeatable do you think that is?

That's one of the problems with trying to stay anonymous, right? The playbook constantly goes out of date.
