If you’re obsessed with finding out who is Satoshi, you’re missing the point. 
#Bitcoin journalists are so highly regarded they can’t even recognize when they’re being trolled. Amazing.
Every weatherman dreams of having these superpowers.
The YOUniverse is vast. 
“A philosopher, which is what I am supposed to be, is a sort of intellectual yokel who gapes and stares at what sensible people take for granted, a person who cannot get rid of the feeling that the barest facts of everyday life are unbelievably odd. As Aristotle put it, the beginning of philosophy is wonder. I am simply amazed to find myself living on a ball of rock that swings around an immense spherical fire. I am more amazed that I am a maze—a complex wiggliness, an arabesque of tubes, filaments, cells, fibers, and films that are various kinds of palpitation in this stream of liquid energy.”

Another way of saying this is that the fiat era is an aberration compared to the rest of history.
We went from thousands of years of a gold standard, to a mere 53 years of fiat standard so far, to an emerging digital gold standard thereafter (ie. #Bitcoin).

Venture capital / the tech startup world will change drastically as well as the generations churn.
The era of raising millions in a seed round for your slide deck concept will fade once the world is on a Bitcoin standard. It’s happening already.
What will become more common is bootstrapping startups with only one or a few key team members, and leveraging AI / outsourcing for the rest.
There will still be investment capital raised for certain ventures, but the bar will be much higher in Bitcoin terms than it is today in fiat terms.

Millennials and beyond prefer to control our own retirement accounts, transact 24/7, not be stolen from via endless taxation and inflation, use a house to live in rather than as an investment vehicle, and save in Bitcoin rather than melting fiat currency units.
If this describes your way of living, you are ahead of the game.

Hard to imagine boomer world (pensions, retirement accounts, bank holidays, social security, perpetual real estate appreciation, fiat inflation) continuing for very long once Boomers are gone.
“Man as an organism is to the world outside like a whirlpool is to a river: man and world are a single natural process, but we are behaving as if we were invaders and plunderers in a foreign territory.”

Enjoy how every few months, I’ll see one of these images posted with a caption like, “What really happened in the Teutoberg forest?” And “What really happened in Afghanistan?” And it has hundreds of thousands of likes 
“The sun, the earth, and the forests are just as much features of your own body as your brain.”
