👨💻 Satoshi Shares Bitcoin Code for the First Time
On November 16, 2008, about a month and a half before the launch of Bitcoin blockchain, Satoshi shared the code on the Metzdowd cryptography forum, asking for reviews and feedback.

What if someone else started the network with the code? Was it maybe his intention?
There's a non-zero chance to that, but I doubt it. I believe this is something way too complex to grasp and bootstrap in ~50 days. Plus Satoshi's prior and further correspondence patterns align, so it does not look like two (or more) different people before and after.
