Strange fact: Satoshi wrote about Java in his "last words" 𝑰'𝒗𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒅 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒐 𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔. (...) 𝑰 𝒅𝒐 𝒉𝒐𝒑𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑩𝒊𝒕𝒄𝒐𝒊𝒏𝑱 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒖𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒅𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒂𝒏 𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒄𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕. Looks like more alternative clients is a good thing 😉 https://github.com/bitcoinj/bitcoinj

The question now is why did he hope that? Probably because it does not offer enough 🤔

I still can't quite believe that Bitcoin was initially released as C++ software. On Windows. In 2009(!) nostr:nevent1qqsr38nmau78sxy7w2p470ukm5dg8hwjkek9yjdkx3garl3a9wqhmfgppamhxw309asjumn0wvhxcmmv9upzph7y9zewyxet9g8q5mulpex4f2pwafpt74q4mkn4xd43rjzz0t2rqvzqqqqqqy2zquqm

Well c++ was very common and it offered the possibility of easily adapting to other platforms in the future. The move was not too bad. Also think about it, the intention was already usability for plebs not only devs … hence windows

Could be. Anyway keep orange pilling the Java devs at the conference 🧡
