Small group of dedicated people who put ideas above their personal gain.
Then how did Satoshi Nakamoto come into this???
reply
duckducking around the web, I found out that Satoshi Nakamoto is a pseudonym for the person or people who developed Bitcoin, authored the bitcoin white paper, and created and deployed bitcoin's original reference implementation.
So... Satoshi Nakamoto is a pseudonym
But yep… if you find the answer to your question, let us know :)

Now this is new knowledge to me. Never researched to this extent. But then, why would a group of people's identity be shrouded behind a pseudo-name. Don't they want the recognition like any great scientist would? I wouldn't do something groundbreaking like Bitcoin and not want my glory to shine forth. Anyway, to each his own. I am sure they have their good reason for wanting to remain anonymous. By the way, your reply has given me insight how I should go about my research of this pseudo name, Satoshi Nakamoto. Thanks for your response.

No sometimes, especially when dealing with government and social constructs, you probably do not want to be identified and put in jail. Bitcoin is a system that disconnect money from governments, like the printing press separated church (religion) from state/kingdom (governance).
Bitcoin is about un-learning whatever you have known until now, put it over the table and look at it from a distance... at some stages forget about that, and start to learning about and projecting your life into the future with different values.
You are about to start a learning journey that will keep you busy. Enhance your curiosity and keep asking questions... are free :)

that was the name the group chose as their identifier.

And that is one smart way to remain anonymous. And I am guess this guy's behind the Bitcoin must be quietly rich now.

Or dead maybe

Some people think Hal Finney was one of the members of the group. He died of disease years ago. However I can also imagine nefarious behavior, maybe by clandestine forces.

To be fair, they probably personally gained plenty. They just weren't greedy.

You are right. Beside, they have done humanity a great favour.
reply
Probably, but that was luck.
