• Fifteen years ago on 12 December 2010 Satoshi Nakamoto made his final public post on the BitcoinTalk forum
• His message focused on DoS attack risks and the need to strengthen Bitcoin’s early network
• After this post Satoshi only shared limited emails with a few developers
• He never appeared on public forums again and slowly stepped away from the project
• This moment marked the shift from a creator guided system to a fully leaderless open network
• Bitcoin began standing on its own with the community taking full responsibility for its growth
• The disappearance of its founder became part of Bitcoin’s strength
