Is there a picture of Satoshi Nakamoto or any information about him?
What would the scam be, exactly? Giving away free money to people
who can follow simple directions to help out the coin? I haven't spent
a cent.
Satoshi is not a valid example here.
I honestly can't say if comparing Satoshi to the DeepONION team is a logical fallacy or not. First off, unless I missed something, the entire ONION project is open-source, and being personally visible on a webpage somewhere isn't to me, a part of being open-source. You can compile the source from GitHub and run it with no worries, so pretty sure it meets the definition.
Frankly, with all the "crazy" that is continually in the world, like TSA searching a guys bags for Bitcoin (lol), I could be outed from behind "Erelas" pretty easily, but, if I were a huge hodler, I'd be worried some delinquent would think that showing up and kicking in my door he'd be able to get at my crypto. People are dumb, don't give them ammunition if you can help it, stay anonymous.
