Got into bitcoin in December. Finally read it recently when I decided I needed to really understand bitcoin. It’s interesting how the journey evolves. Got into bitcoin for it inflation resistant monetary characteristics and have reached a point where I don’t care about price, etc. First comes the leap of faith and then comes the rabbit hole. The water just gets deeper and deeper. Seems like someone shouldn’t be allowed to get into bitcoin without reading that paper but that’s not the way this works for most. Some people are technical and will enter bitcoin at the paper but most people (now and the future ahead) will enter at a much different point and likely won’t ever get curious enough to read it. Understanding it is a whole different thing. It’s one thing to believe words but a whole different thing to believe the abstraction of software protocols. That’s basically a long way of saying I don’t understand that paper, I really want to understand that paper, and reading the paper made me realize that much history and functionality came after that paper (BTW someone needs to author the history of bitcoin!). I’d be a part of that book club.
