Adam Back reveals the reason behind Satoshi Nakamoto's choice to remain anonymous, possibly due to realizing the extremely high risks of BTC revolutionizing currency

ChainCatcher reported that Blockstream co-founder and CEO Adam Back posted on X, stating that there are operational risks for nodes participating in P2P networks that provide privacy, anonymity, and bearer funds. These risks can be traced back decades, and the risks faced by Bitcoin node operators are not new. Although the risks associated with Bitcoin are, to some extent, lower than those of file sharing, as bearer cash and hard currency, Bitcoin has clearly faced much higher risks, since BTC is reforming money. After all, the risk of separating money from the state is much greater.

Although some countries are gradually accepting Bitcoin and related regulations are becoming more open, in certain countries it still remains in a gray area or is even illegal. Therefore, even core developers who revealed their identities early on could face significant risks. Satoshi Nakamoto may have realized this risk, which is perhaps why he chose to release Bitcoin anonymously.
