"I appreciate your questions. I actually did this kind of backwards. I had to write all the code before I could convince myself that I could solve every problem, then I wrote the paper. I think I will be able to release the code sooner than I could write a detailed spec. You're already right about most of your assumptions where you filled in the blanks." - Satoshi Nakamoto

haha! silly satoshi... who would write the whole thing first?? before just writing a paper!! that's so backwards! 😅
