🤔 tbh, it is hard to imagine him being an American. So maybe it was that guy. I hope he uses his coins to pull a Genghis Khan on the world.

nah, he was american, but he was studying at a belgian (flemish, northern) university at the time. and cryptography and security were his subjects. and he was known to be part of the cypherpunk mailing list, under his real identity.
anyway. meh. the superstition that has built up around bitcoin is starting to get tiring to me. i think it's important, and i use it all the time as money, but i don't have a lot of faith in the majority of software projects working with it, or the increasing financialisation and paperification that is going on. these people are obviously doing it wrong because otherwise, why is self custody still so rare? and why are so many of them building sidechains or bank integrations?
i'm more interested in stacking survival skills and good friends now than anything else. bitcoin is part of that but the people are much more important.
100%. I'm here to add my voice to the bitcoin movement, but ultimately bitcoin can't be what its about. We got real world stuff to do too. I kinda find the superstition entertaining tho. I'd be all over a church of satoshi. Candles, incense, chanting, humming, rocking back and forth like retards - the whole shebang, it'd be lit.
yeah, hypnosis. lol. no thanks.
i prefer karma yoga.
i think it is superstitious to claim that bitcoin is the be-all and end-all of freedom money. despite the fact that maybe thousands of clowns got into it to milk retail. but idgaf honestly, the way i have designed jericho it will not be untoward in respect to bitcoin. it's just a set of corrections and as someone suggested to me, it will have a genesis block that anyone who still has unspent coins prior to segwit, can immediately use the new chain.
i know only the "blinking" bitcoiners of whom a lot are here on nostr, might be interested, i'm deliberately making the design so it only appeals to bitcoiners. you are one, of course, but network effect is critical to making it happen, i have to try and divide my time effectively to actually do the implementation.
