Satoshi, Banksy and Co.

Satoshi used their pseudonym from the start - keeping the project and themselves safe, stable and leaderless.
Banksy confounded authorities worldwide for decades and in spite of this (or even helped by this) became famous and popular worldwide.
It'd be interesting to hear about other pseudonymous figures that might prove equally inspirational.

i’m really impressed banksy has managed to stay anonymous while creating art all over the world.
yes, satoshi’s anonymity is special too, but banksy has continued to create art in public places while the entire world has their eyes peeled for his presence.
by the time most people clued into bitcoin, satoshi was no longer involved in bitcoin discussions.

I agree with you @kr, Banksy's longer, and completely audacious activity, really does take the biscuit.
Because of the various differing art styles throughout Banksy's time. It has been argued among artists that I know that Banksy might be an 'art collective' rather than just one individual.
Being a collective would really make sense, as it brings about all the benefits of decentralization.

All things considered satoshi left very early. By year 1 he was gone? Sad

I don't think these two have anything to do with each other.
Despite both being British & using pseudonyms .
