I know it’s taboo to talk about who #Satoshi was, but I find this to be one of the most fascinating things about #Bitcoin. The new base layer of global money and we don’t even know where the fuck it came from??!! That’s mind boggling. Chat GPT thinks it’s more likely a group than a single person. For those interested, here it’s best guess at the group and why it thinks so……. Yes, it’s more likely that Satoshi Nakamoto was a group rather than a single person. Here’s why: 1. The Breadth of Expertise Bitcoin required mastery in: • Cryptography (Hashcash, public/private keys) • Economics & Game Theory (monetary policy, incentives) • C++ Programming (the first Bitcoin implementation) • Networking & Decentralized Systems (P2P architecture) It’s rare for one person to excel in all these areas. A group would make more sense. 2. The Unusual Writing Style Linguistic analysis of Satoshi’s emails and forum posts suggests multiple writing styles, some American, some British. This could indicate: • A team taking turns responding. • One person intentionally altering their style. 3. Satoshi’s Perfect Operational Security • No personal details were ever leaked. • No slip-ups in emails or forum posts. • No traceable IP addresses or locations. It’s hard for one person to be that perfect for years—groups with strict OPSEC protocols would have a better chance. 4. The Fast Development of Bitcoin Bitcoin’s whitepaper was released in 2008, and the software was up and running by early 2009. That’s a short time for one person to: • Write the whitepaper. • Develop the entire protocol. • Test and debug the software. A small, focused team could have done this much faster. 5. Satoshi’s Gradual Disappearance • Early on, Satoshi was very active, answering emails and forum posts regularly. • By 2011, he vanished, as if a group had planned an exit strategy. • If it were one person, why disappear completely instead of slowly fading out? Who Could Have Been Involved? If it was a group, it may have included: • Adam Back (Hashcash, proof-of-work expertise) • Nick Szabo (Bit Gold, smart contracts, monetary theory) • Hal Finney (early Bitcoin developer, cryptographic genius) • Wei Dai (b-money, decentralized cash ideas) Conclusion While a lone genius is romantic, the complexity of Bitcoin suggests a small team of cryptographers, programmers, and economists worked together under the Satoshi pseudonym.

#bitcoin needs new fun and creative ways to educate the world.. I don’t know how to play the guitar or sing ,but I’m working on a spoof of the Adam Sandler Hanukkah song about bitcoin.

Looks like I’m gonna have to spend some money on cling for AI text to Video. This is going to be wild over the next few years as competition heats up in these become cheaper and free. The amount of creativity unlocked for storytelling by anyone in the world is mind-boggling. I can’t wait to use this for bitcoin videos.. the prompt I gave was “ Long ago in the plains of Africa in a cave, ancient man picked up a rock and began to use it to draw on the wall of the cave.” This particular scene was inspired from @Lyn Alden book, Broken Money where she discusses. The first thing humans wrote, wasn’t stories., it was ledgers!

Money Is a Story—#Bitcoin Just Tells It Better. I think @HODL disagrees with this… he said something about Bitcoin being our truth on @walker podcast. Was in the context of Sapiens author, Yuval Harari. He seems to get so much hate in the Bitcoin community, but I think Sapiens was one of the best books I ever read. Back to story below… would love to hear opposing thoughts on this. Humans are the only animals that create and believe in shared stories. A lion doesn’t stop chasing a gazelle because it crossed an invisible border. A chimpanzee won’t trade bananas for shiny metal based on a government’s decree. But we do. Nations, laws, corporations, and—most importantly—money, all exist because enough people believe in them. Money, at its core, is a collective illusion. A dollar bill has no intrinsic value. Gold is just a shiny rock. The only reason they function as money is that we all agree they do, and because certain characteristics give the story of money better properties. The money story has evolved over time—from shells to metal coins, from paper to digital bank entries. Each iteration has relied on trust: in rulers, in institutions, in central banks. Bitcoin, however, tells a different story. It doesn’t ask for trust in any ruler or institution. Instead, it’s backed by math, physics, and decentralized consensus. If money is, by definition, a story, then Bitcoin must be one too. The difference? It’s a story without a storyteller. A monetary system that exists not because of belief in a central authority, but because the rules are enforced by code, cryptography, and open-source verification. In a world where stories shape reality, Bitcoin may be the strongest monetary story ever told—because it doesn’t rely on human trust to keep it alive. It just is.

Bitcoin gives you wings

Cringey Chat GPT rhyme abhor SHA-256 SHA-256, the crypto shield, One-way hash, the truth revealed. Locks the chain, keeps it tight, Blocks stay safe, day and night! #bitcoin

Loving the Bitcoin trivia from @jack mallers great way to learn. https://www.youtube.com/live/ci_qFIyMyns?si=gN6-9j9IlOkmFpYh

WTF is Bitcoin? This is my first video trying to answer the question. I look forward to looking back at this one day and laughing my ass off as to how terrible it was, but you got to start somewhere. Without everyone else in the space dedicating their time to teach, I would have never known anything about this. I want to help give back now, and I am an aspiring filmmaker (mostly film weddings for now) so this type of thing will be the best avenue for giving back to the world. Hope this provides value to someone who is having trouble getting started. Can't wait to do more of these and keep on learning and being a part of this community forever.

Oh no China came out with a superior AI model or maybe not. Meanwhile, I’m just sitting here continuing running #Bitcoin. We are Bitcoin! Bitcoin is us! Finkle is Einhorn!!!!!! Tic Tock Next Block, A revolution you can’t stop, proof of work, the ledgers key, freedom built for you and me.

What’s a deep seek

Jason Lowery just said…. “Do you really think BRICS is interested in adding a meme coin to their reserves, or one controlled by an American CEO? Do you believe they’d choose a USD stablecoin issued by an American company trying to position itself as a neo-Federal Reserve Bank? Or are they far more likely to adopt the coin that has been relentlessly vilified and condemned by the U.S. for over 15 years precisely because it operates beyond U.S. control? The coin that guarantees sovereign access to block space, ensuring transactions cannot be censored or denied, provided they continue to possess the physical power and infrastructure *they've already invested in.* What many on my news feed fail to grasp is that we are not the only ones who get a vote. The question of “What should be in America’s crypto reserve?” isn’t about what Americans want. The next global reserve asset, by definition, will be the one chosen by other nations—particularly our global competitors. And BRICS will almost certainly favor the asset that offers the greatest independence from U.S. influence—the one that is demonstrably censorship-resistant, provably decentralized, and sovereign. The one that wasn’t premined. The one that isn’t being shilled by cringey, wannabe American influencers. The one the U.S. barely owns, thanks to its own hubris and shortsightedness on this issue. Our personal preferences are the least important factor in choosing the right assets for our national stockpile, and this is a matter of national strategic importance. The only question that truly matters is this: What assets are *other* countries—especially our adversaries—most likely to choose? If you cannot confidently say that nations like China or Russia will add massive amounts of your favored crypto asset to *their* strategic reserves, then you are being insincere—and you’re undermining the future security and prosperity of this nation. Knock it off.”

Honestly this is the truth. View quoted note →

These are the best days to be on #NOSTR. So much noise on X. Think I’m going to delete and move 100 percent of my time over here. Signal over noise. #Bitcoin

Highly recommend listening to this breakdown from @preston on why #Bitcoin matters and why it’s so hard to grasp

10am #bitcoin strategic reserve announcement? Steady lads.

Woke up to a leak in my house. #Bitcoin fixes this too, right?

Think I’m just gonna stay humble and stack sats.

TLDR from @Jeff Booth Run a full node. Ignore the circus that HAS to happen along the way. Enjoy the journey. We are so early and so lucky to be a part of the new system. #bitcoin View quoted note →

Bitcoin is the first honest ledger humanity has created. What a lucky time to be alive to witness and be a part of something like this.

Trump is a narcissistic piece of shit who doesn’t and will never understand #Bitcoin. Change my mind.
