It is interesting to compare this supposition with the history of TOR...
Satoshi doesn't matter until he publicly signs with the Genesis Key and Speaks Freely at a conference or on any other venue. Even then, he has no authority to dictate to anyone the future of crypto. Not least due to him abandoning BTC and it subsequently failing. Most spectacularly in privacy, txrate, and storage-space, and thus in general as as to becoming an actual usable P2P Electronic Cash, and therein also a store of value. Bitcoin and Tor are the same... both being first, and ultimately weak implementations, of original ideals. Now those weak failures are held out as the new ideal, by psyop meant to cancel any attempt at moving beyond those failboats, back to the original ideals, which would in their first action immediately declare and obsolete them, and more importantly their corrupt cabals, and replace them with new nextgen competitors that will eventually overtake their psy-pumped artificial market lead. Far too many people relied upon BTC and Tor and the lying voices of their captured "maintainers", and the political corp funders upstream who took over and owned them (BTC), or originated them in Govt (Tor), instead of abandoning them and then continuing to forge ahead with the OG cypherpunk vision they knew was both true and the only valid way to be, as anything less is just GovPolCorpBanl. So now you have to scrap them both and go nextgen, you've lost a decade, but you can still win in time, because anything less than OG is just another word for Fiat and GovPolCorpBank, and people will eventually choose the superior freedom nature of OG. It is now possible to create better Overlay Networks. It is now possible to create better Cryptocurrencies. So again, as has been said by a few, and by far too few, people over the last ten years, get to it. "Tor Stinks -- NSA, vulns known since before 2012" "BTC Stinks -- Cypherpunks, vulns known since before 2013"
