Pantheon
“Satoshi Nakamoto,” The Prophet.
An archetype figure: a Santa Claus or Moses or even a Jesus-type figure. “He” came, gave us a gift (and behold! it was perfect in every way!); upon the Redemption, he was Assumed and thus disappeared. No one is sure who “he” was or if “he” really existed. Whether “he” existed at all is not important to those of The Faith. “He” has no childhood friends or contemporaries who knew “him.” All we have are “his” writings, enshrined in the Wayback Machine and conspiracy theory discussion forums. Maybe “he” really was from The Future; maybe “he” really was sent by our descendants to prevent a Greater Evil, as was foretold in multi-part Hollywood hit movie, The Terminator. Maybe The Blockchain is itself “The Skynet” as was prophesied. No one knows. But, HURRY, INVEST NOW!
