Not possible. Bitcoin was created back in 2009 and the first puzzle of the said group was published/revealed on January 4, 2012. If they were to create an opus together, they would have recruited people way earlier than their piece's inception date. Besides, it seems that the group is solely interested into cryptography, steganography and datasec, without revealing some form of interest in fintech and other aspects of the economy. The creator Satoshi Nakamoto, as regarded by some experts in the field of cryptography, has an "impressive amount of understanding of politics, cryptography and economy" that doesn't match the group's description and puzzles. Far-fetched, but still a possibility anyway.
Your thought, in my opinion, is close to the truth. bitcoin developer was not necessarily a big team, at that time it could be a a scientific group of 3-5 people headed by a person who has great knowledge in cryptography and understands life.

This is an interesting thought! It will make sense, this will make a whole sense for the development of Bitcoin. I think it is unlikely, but their identity should be kept secret if they want to be anonymous. Bitcoin was re-created in 2009 and the first puzzle of the group was announced / revealed on the 4th. In addition, it seems that this group only interested in cryptography, steganography and datasec, without revealing some form of interest to fintech and other aspects of the economy.

This is interesting though i don't think anybody can know realyy if they were behind bitcoin. Bitcoin's developer still is unknown with no way to find out unless they tell us themselves.

I don’t think that Cicada 3301 is behind the btcoin because this is an decentralized system based on this btc is under blockchain system so this is not possible if the author gives permission that is another case but for my point of view it’s impossible. Also if it happens then people will know about it.

Bitcoin isn't a bubble. It's the pin!
Do you belive that cicada might recruting member to develop bitcoin network ?

Now, this is an interesting thought! I have not considered this as a possibility before. It would make sense, as they appeared to want to recruit highly intelligent cryptographers, which would make total sense for Bitcoin development. They also seem to have disappeared AFAIK. I do think it is unlikely though, as the creator/group Behind Bitcoin is very likely someone from the cypherpunk group. But their identity should be kept a secret if they would like to be anonymous. Give them the respect they deserve for creating Bitcoin.

I highly doubt that this can be true but since I don't have any proof I am unable to backup my statement. It could be but I still think it has low chance.

Based on some viral marketing we can do many things through advertisement but it should be a beautiful manner but some group of people did this advertisement but this may affect on people who are interested to invest in crypto market because it’s may cause of bad impression for them.

It is believed that Cicada 3301 is a mysterious group that gives puzzles to recruit new members. The persons who can solve the puzzles are some high intelligence individuals. It is doubtful, if they are recruiting new members or not.
