Yep that absolutely fascinated me when #Satoshi sent me some #Bitcoin sats to experiment with.
I didn't actually care much about mining at the time. It was the P2P networking that fascinated me.
Just me and Satoshi transacting. With all those other #nodes confirming the authenticity of everything.
One after another confirming. Then confirming again. That seemed like magic to me lol.
I realized right then that this was important, and we would have to make sure it survived..๐งก๐๐
