So in fact market cap was the reason Satoshi Nakamura I divine ended up immolating in 2015, like Lycurgus of Sparta who founded Sparta said don't change the laws until I return, left and starved himself to death, and the laws never changed. Went very well for Sparta. Similar concept of unchanging laws of high integrity in the case of Bitcoin, it was about getting them right from the beginning. Same problem, bad for integrity for the founder to stick around because he can lead, the goal is for the system to be beyond appeal, airtight.

Like it worked out way too well by 2015 and too poorly at the beginning, he thought he would get traction right away (hence the second block taking like a week, this indicates it's the first thing he released) but it didn't. Overshot the difficulty. So he was stuck pre-mining until he again selflessly stopped mining, he could have mined more. And he was an all-around cryptographer, so very very paranoid (job requirement) very hidden, Bitcoin wasn't the only code he wrote I divine the only code he published, similar to the Truecrypt author, went by alias John Smith that guy, who is getting out of prison for murders based on his code, in like five years. That's one alternate universe of Satoshi.
