Exactly 14 years ago, on December 12, 2010, anonymous bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto stopped posting on the BitcoinTalk forum. This is the oldest and largest online forum dedicated to cryptocurrencies, dating back to 2009. Satoshi's last post was about possible DoS attacks on bitcoin and some code updates, after which he never visited the forum again.

However, Satoshi still corresponded with some of the early bitcoin developers for a few more months. In his last message to developer Gavin Andresen, he asked that his figure be downplayed as "mysterious and behind-the-scenes," and then in a letter to another developer he said that he had "switched to other things and that bitcoin would remain in the safe hands of Gavin and everyone else."

Then in April 2011, Andresen publicly stated that he was going to give a presentation on bitcoin at CIA headquarters at a conference on emerging technologies for the U.S. intelligence community. Some speculate that the fact that Andresen was invited to speak at the CIA may have influenced Satoshi's decision to distance himself from public activity.
