This is an excellent question. My superficial answer is "no" because of the mantras we keep repeating, such as "rules, not rulers." However, I have to admit that I have some implicit expectations of Satoshi, the person, or Satoshi, the team. After over ten years of reading, experimenting (and, of course, the 40+ weekly hours of listening to podcasts as required by Bugle_News (npub1563…c9n6) standards 😉), I am still learning new and fundamental principles of Bitcoin. Principles and mechanisms that were mostly known to Satoshi before the launch. So, they must have dealt with the fundamentals for years and were driven to liberate the world from the plague of FIAT. In my mind, it is safe to assume that Satoshi adhered to very high moral and ethical standards (but I recognize how this could just be wishful thinking). In the end, for me, it is the lack of those standards in dealing with the current FIAT elites that sent me looking for alternatives. Now, should it turn out, very much to my surprise, that the persona Satoshi is an alias for the Lazarus group, for instance, I think I would lose interest. However, this is an edge case I don't consider and would just deal with it when it happens.
