Topic: Let's play: "Pretend to be Satoshi!" (Read 228 times)

SN : sorry lightning is not something I want to think about. I am now more focused on things outside of blockchain. a completely new future transaction. like bitcoin was something new in its time. so it's time to think about something newer that isn't tied to blockchain. it's a matter of mind power combined with future technology and transacting with the mind is considered impossible for most people. have you thought up here?

A
someone linked you to a BTC address that saves btc and is active again after 12 years is this you or a holder .... because I doubt it's you....

SN: I was not needed anymore. Code was created and there was enough support from many other coders to improve the original code as well as big enough understanding that the key aspects of Bitcoin should not be changed as they are fine as they are.
I am now in better place. Not feeling the pain anymore.

A: Base on research, things that are not seen tend to last than things that are seen, I've come to understand that human value that are uncommon than what they get familiar or used to, come to think of gold, the more  it remains uncommon helps along way in retaining it value, well this is from life perspective.

In relation to bitcoin, it is anonymous and the source behind it should also remain anonymous in other to retain its value and the "brain" behind  it.
Lastly, we talk about trust, we could not confined such in government but you and i can have that in bitcoin while dealing with financial economy.

Satoshi gets snarky! I enjoyed reading those responses though.

The last paragraph is very believable. I can't imagine the stress of trying to do something like this, open-source, and maintain leadership on a project intended to not have a leader. Being anonymous must not have helped, and I'm sure you had to make a choice: step out and become that leader, in which case everything depends on you regardless of your personal circumstances, or take a step back and see whether the community can survive and thrive -- which it did.

Bold move, and it paid off, amazingly. So, good job. I'm sure I'll think up another question for you later, but maybe others have questions for you too.

lets play a game

it's a niche service network for certain use-case. but not all use-cases.. also not to be seen as the replacement for bitcoin or be promoted as bitcoin2.0.
its a separate network thats a bridge for many coins. its not a feature/unique for just bitcoin and not serving just bitcoin, so should not be treated as a "bitcoin" thing. but a "crypto" thing

back before inventing bitcoin(blockchains), other developers 'the cypherpunks' were running into many many problems with accounting and auditing value. and having problems making a financial system that could not be broken..  and any network that does not have a network wide audit system like a blockchain does. is going to fall into old problems. LN is not a futuristic feature or new innovation, its actually backwards and old.
even after 5 years its not really a working system, its glitchy and buggy and even the devs have lost value when using it.
 bitcoin however worked right from the start and adopted alot of people within a couple years. LN has failed to meet bitcoin standards after 5 years. use it at your own risk and learn its risk. it is not bitcoin and not as secure as bitcoin. it might have some niche use-cases, but its not a solution and be very risk aware when using it.

metaverse is just a virtual shopping mall. much like an old bitcoin game 'dragon's tale' had a virtual character you can move around a landscape and buy things/gamble on things within the landscape.
i am just a little dismayed that no one tried to take the dragon's tale platform and expand it into a more feature rich virtual landscape that offered retail propositions.
metaverse is however preferring to use ethereum based tokens/currencies, which could leave bitcoin behind and not seen as the 'main' crypto

many people had good idea's of moving bitcoin forward, many people were finding bugs and my CODING/bug fixing involvement was not needed daily. however people were demanding me POLITICALLY to make the ultimate decisions of what should and shouldnt be added, making me a central point. i felt that people could make up their own minds and do their own edits and upgrades without me, as that was the point of bitcoin. so i steeped back

Whoa! It will be very entertaining to see. Hopefully not too dystopian, and more utopian.

Q: Why did you disappear in 2011? What have you done for the past decade?

You would make a good Satoshi though.

Finney and Satoshi said there were more connections during that first week, but also complicated by zombie connections, lol.

Hmm, trying to hide your Satoshiness now, eh?    Satoshi's last provable email was in early 2011. There have been several emails supposedly coming from SN since then, like in 2015 after a major hack of this forum, which this -> references: https://i.imgur.com/ozQF2of.jpg
