I went through Satoshi's stuff yesterday and I noticed one of his last posts mentioned something about WikiLeaks.
The Bitcoin founder was probably forced to resign by C people

Here is the post:

" It would have been nice to get this attention in any other context. WikiLeaks has kicked the hornet's nest, and the swarm is headed towards us."

I also think he handed over all his access to Bitcoin to them. Maybe C people realized Bitcoin couldn't be shut down and they left him but still under their surveillance

I personally was not around here at that time but I can say one thing for certain. Satoshi Nakamoto disappeared without a word because of an unknown reason which is good enough to make him leave the development of bitcoin. That reason is not connected to the last post of satoshi nakamoto here but there is a low probability of it being connected but probably it is not the case.

Do not trust the government

Nobody can know now.

That month, December of 2010, when he left, governments ware attacking Wikileaks. The tried to cut the donations going to Wikileaks and make them shut down. They saw this as a possible attack vector, because year prior to that, Wikileaks removed documents from their website for a month, because of shortage of funds.
They did this by forcing PayPal and other Banks to freeze their accounts that month. https://web.archive.org/web/20110827113522/https://wikileaks.org/support.html
Even tho at that time, to my knowledge, Wikileaks wasn't accepting Bitcoin donations, maybe they were afraid that they will. So they tried to go after Bitcoin too, to slow it down or disrupt it. Maybe they saw Bitcoin weaker without Satoshi, maybe they thought they would have better chance at DoS-ing it or just slow down it's adoption and/or development.

Nobody knows whether there was in fact Satoshi Nakamoto, or is a fictional character the purpose of which was to give to the people the bitcoin. Remember how Archimedes said? Give me a lever and I will move the whole world. Bitcoin is the lever.

BTC to the moon is inevitable...

read the context Cheesy

i believe what Satoshi meant was the fact that the site that mentioned bitcoin for the first time and with highest attention of all time (by that time) was not exactly the best publicity for bitcoin.

and the swam was quotes like these:

Quote

The article implies that Bitcoin was invented as a RESULT of Wikileaks troubles... as sort of an altrernate SOLUTION to Wikileaks donation funding troubles.

by now, we are familiar with the FUD, but it was a new thing back then.

I've seen this post before. Presumably he meant:

1. BTC is still an experimental software. It would be nice to have time to develop it before it becomes too popular, because then he couldn't coordinate most people to do similar things very easily (forks, second implementations, etc).
2. Possibly that he didn't want BTC to become notorious for illegal activity because he wanted it to be used by ordinary people.

Resign? He was just a developer. He only had power because he developed the reference client and people agreed with what he said.

I dont think that is the main reason why satoshi left and stayed on the shadow and did not appeared on public. After those words that you mentioned satoshi last post mentions about adding some DOS controls. In my opinion satoshi has succesfully upgraded bitcoins and thus his work is already finished. The bugs in bitcoin was already taken care by Satoshi and I guess his presence is no longer needed. You can read this on this link https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.29479

But it is also a possibility that the swarm that satoshi is referring to are the feds or the hackers. If it is the fed maybe satoshi wanted to hide so that he can continue to work to develop bitcoin in the shadows or be caught by the feds and cause bitcoin to shutdown.

C people do not left people if you agree with them as you seem to think. If there is a correlation between those guys and Satoshi, it means they simply killed him and thrown his body into the ocean.

For reference (and lazy people like me): here is the actual post - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.29280

@op No I am pretty sure this has absolutely no relation with the founder of BTC disappearing.
