🔍 asknostr

Let’s play a thought experiment…

What if one day it was proven beyond doubt that Satoshi Nakamoto was not a cypherpunk, not an individual genius, but… an operation by the CIA (or a similar intelligence agency)?

And what if, in that same moment, the million BTC in Satoshi’s wallets were dumped on the open market?

How would you truly feel?

A – I don’t care. It wouldn’t change anything for me.

B – I’d feel betrayed and like a fool for trusting what turned out to be a state op… but I’d still believe in ₿.

C – Bitcoin would collapse. The entire narrative would implode, and with it, the price and faith in the protocol.

D – Other: Tell me your view👇

Would you still believe in the math, the code, the incentives?

Or would the myth crumbling mean the protocol dies too?

👏👏👏👏👏

A..

But seeing as its phrased as a reaction event a lot of C would happen. Which is an opportunity to buy the dip.

After that i'd see how the market reacted long term.

If the basic principles of the protocol remained intact #bitcoin would recover.

A : I don’t care. I don’t worship wizards, I verify code. If the CIA gave us sound money by accident, that’s the most bullish backfire in history.

A: Keep running my nodes and miners!

A. I don't care if it was made by the reborn Hitler. It changes nothing, and takes away nothing from the benefits Bitcoin offers to those who embrace it.

I have thought about smth like that a while ago, the possibility of a cabal around “satoshi” who or whatever he is.

What if once the adoption S curve hits 90%, a big equalizing moment is initiated where every existing address gets the same share of the satoshi coins.

So that all people around the world with no purchasing power compared to westerners, get a life changing amount send from “god”.

How would you all feel about that?

1m coins, spread between 6bil addresses.

For the poorest 20% this could be something from 6month to 2 years worth of savings.

For everybody else it would be just nice.

Would it affect the reputation of the project though? 🤔

buying opportunity

95% A with 5% of B

Nice experiment. I wouldn’t care a lot, honestly whatever state op it is I would celebrate it and keep calling it Satoshi 💜

CIApherpunks rule, bb! LOL

I'd be a bit surprised but it wouldn't change anything. A it is!
