Nakamotos last message did not suggest that he might be leaving. The message was, in fact, technical and spoke about the work needed for DoS (denial of service) attacks.

Although Nakamoto posted their last message on Dec. 12, 2010, they had stepped away from the spotlight in April 2010. But Nakamoto left behind a digital currency and a legacy that has grown beyond anyones imagination.

However, the Dec. 12, 2010 message wont be the last time wed hear from the Bitcoin (BTC) creator. In 2014, there was a lot of controversy about Nakamotos identity. Authorities had bought in a certain Dorian Nakamoto for questioning. However, a P2P Foundation profile linked to the Bitcoin (BTC) creators popped on and stated, I am not Dorian Nakamoto.

There are numerous theories on why Nakamoto may have left the crypto scene. Some say his disappearance helped keep Bitcoin (BTC) decentralized and open. Meanwhile, some say that Satoshi Nakamoto is a group of people who have since disbanded.

Some fans have associated Nakamotos identity with Hal Finney, a computer scientist who worked on developing Bitcoin (BTC). Finney was also the recipient of the first BTC transaction. Moreover, Finney lived in the same neighborhood as Dorian Nakamoto. Therefore, it is unsurprising that people accuse Finney of being the real Satoshi Nakamoto. Unfortunately, Finney passed away on Aug. 28, 2014. Finneys passing could be one reason we have not received a message from Nakamoto.

However, these are all just theories, and there is no proof about who the real Satoshi Nakamoto is.
