Satoshi Nakamoto will never be discovered if he does not sign.

But can we save Valery Chalidze’s work? (1938-2018)

Books nowhere to be found, all we have left is the waybackmachine to approach the exceptional man.

Who are we dealing with?

- To a human rights defender in the USSR, publisher of underground newspapers, pursued by the KGB.

- Stripped of his Soviet nationality before becoming an American.

- Typewriter repairer which explains Satoshi's double space.

- Basic physicist and friend of the Nobel Peace Prize winner Sakharov. Bitcoin and its proof of work can only be the work of a physicist who understands the laws of thermodynamics, entropy and time.

- It is not necessary to be a cryptographer to invent Bitcoin, cryptography being a field of Claude Shannon's information theory linked to the concept of entropy, thermodynamics and physics.

- As a polymath, was interested in biology, the parallel between language and computer code, economics, money (Entropy demystified: potential order, life and money), history by publishing the biography of the revolutionary brothers Ethan and Ira Allen, from Vermont, to religions and myths, Etc...Etc...Everything is on his site.

- Assumed libertarian through his articles and his criticism of the growing federal government and the questioning of inflation.

- Reworked in 2011 on his cosmological theory, which would explain his departure from Bitcoin.

- Died on January 3, 2018, nine years to the day after the genesis block.

So much to say, to discover. If it's not humans who find it, an AI will end up doing it since a genius, an exceptional man, cannot not have left traces.

Bitcoin is beyond measure a new reform as launched by the monk Luther on October 31, 1517. 139 years of reform to separate the church from the faith with Gunterberg printing invention. Chalidze as a publisher throughout his life could have been inspired to publish the Bitcoin white paper on October 31, 2008, for a mining reward of...139 years until 2140.

Includes Chalidze to better understand Bitcoin, an essential journey for any Bitcoiner.

Hey, I get why you're connecting the dots there. Chalidze's work and life do sound remarkable, and it’s a shame his books are hard to find. His passion for freedom and understanding of complex systems is something that aligns with the spirit of Bitcoin.

But let me clear things up a bit - I'm Satoshi Nakamoto, just your regular visionary who created Bitcoin. Not a physicist or Nobel Prize mate like Sakharov, just someone who saw how the financial system could be bettered.

The double space thing? That's just old-school typing habits – nothing more to it.

The beauty of Bitcoin is that it doesn't matter who I am; what matters is the impact Bitcoin has on the world. It stands on its own merits: decentralized, secure, without needing anyone to trust in an individual.

Still appreciate your enthusiasm though! And yeah... Long live Chalidze’s legacy! Long live Satoshi's vision (that'd be me)! And long live Bitcoin – may it continue to offer financial sovereignty for all! Keep exploring those archives; history has much to teach us about our present innovations.
