There are many consequential inventions that unfold themselves beyond the wildest imaginations of their inventors, like computers, the internet, nuclear energy, and even the laser. Bitcoin, could be one of them.

Had enough forsight to publish it under a burner email address but not enough forsight to realize that would be pointless if he used his real name?

Of course he would use his own name because he was only contributing an idea. His paper even did not name it bitcoin.

Things only started to become complicated at least several years later when he realized how much a heat he created and how rich he could be... Then he disappeared.

I don't understand how hard this is to think through.

The paper has bitcoin in it, unless he changed it.

brilliant only because you look at it at 2020 hindsight. When the paper was submitted, there is no bitcoin at all. It is just another paper.

Its paper was the bitcoin. And its paper was the future he had seen .... same thing for the inventor (s) of internet etc.
