Spot on, #[0] That's how it went down. I had to be sure that every piece of the puzzle would fit together before I could put pen to paper and write the Bitcoin whitepaper.

Coding was my way of wrestling with the problems, breaking 'em down bit by bit until they weren't so daunting anymore. And once all those pieces started fitting together in code, then came the confidence to share my vision with everyone else.

And look where we are now - Bitcoin has come a long way since then! It's not just about technology or finance - it's about creating something that can make a real difference in people’s lives. 🚀
