I mean look at all the alt-coins, don't say they fail because bitcoin is here or first to market etc, it can't be that simple?!?

So finally the truth is revealed - this is what the OP is all about.

There are many reasons the altcoins fail, and they can all be grouped into two categories:

Altcoiners are wrong about the nature of money.
The market will only tolerate outsized gains, such as the outsized gains that accrued the ultra-early Bitcoin adopters, once.

In order to profit from a new idea to the same degree as Satoshi, that idea must be as much as an advance over what we have today as Bitcoin was an advance over what came before.

Altcoiners want to achieve Satoshi's gains by creating a new currency while offering merely incremental improvements over his invention (if they offer anything new at all.)

This is the land of wolves now & you're not a wolf

Maybe Satoshi can bring me a Gray's Sports Almanac with Marty McFly and Doc....

‘Try to be nice’

Tesla broadly defined a mesh decentralized form of communications, when he designed wireless communications technology, and had he been the primary force for the eventual design it would have generally been configured into a protocol that was both a, mesh and decentralized.

same goes with energy and it is not a coincidence becasue if one looks at "humanity" and you see an "energy protocol" the grid system then the "information" protocol followed that path generally.

so in the same way if the "energy protocol" The Grid , was instead a "mesh" then projected forward on top of that and you have a mesh decentralized "internet"

he should perhaps now go back and change his email password.

So the story is that someone came from the future created established bitcoin and went back to the future to get his/her big fat check.
Hell yeah, I would watch that film. Maybe add some apocalyptic scenario at the end like the Paycheck

No, I think Satoshi's "first" future was the apocalyptic world, that's why he travelled back in time. See, in Satoshi's timeline, Bitcoin hadn't been invented before the extremely violent fiat economic collapse. Billions were killed in the nuclear war that followed.

So he traveled back in time to invent bitcoin 30 years before the collapse, creating a new timeline free from the apocalypse of his childhood. Maybe throw some aliens in there just to mix it up.

That is briliant, lets finance a movie with that scenario

We'll call it "Bitcoin: All your Coinbase are belong to us"

This is the only thing that makes sense, think about it, I don't care how informed you are there is no way you could make so many decisions in the design and early days of bitcoin that eventually panned out to be right just by chance

Just because you were ignorant of all the economic and technical brainstorming lead up to Bitcoin, over the course of decades, doesn't mean Satoshi was a time traveller.

I agree with this. He had a good idea. Period. There is nothing special or magical about what he did. He had a very good idea and executed the idea well.

Only a time traveller would make a currency where:

- It takes 10 minutes for one confirmation of a transaction and you need at least 3.

- You need to download 10s of gigs of blockchain data and then verify it all before you can get started. All of this takes days and you haven't even done a single transaction yet!

- You need 10s of gigs of hard drive space and there's only so much pr0n you can delete.

- It's inflationary in the short to medium term but deflationary in the long term (if it survives that long).

You see a time traveller doesn't have to suffer any of the above. He can just hop into the future in his trusty time machine to avoid waiting. He enjoys the tech of the future which means petabyte hard drives so no need to delete anything. And he's paid nothing for his coins which might someday be worth trillions. It's the perfect currency for a time traveller.

You and Stryker are making a classic mistake. You're starting from the conclusion you want, and then working backwards to speculate on potential evidence for this conclusion.

That's putting the cart before the horse. You start with the evidence you see, and then work forwards towards probable conclusions.

You know, the intellectual difference between a person of median IQ and a chimpanzee is actually less than the difference between a person of median IQ and a genius (150+ stanford-binet IQ).

Bitcoin creation was indeed evolutionary, if you follow the crypto papers from the 90's you can see the trend (i did after the fact).
The Bitcoin adoption was revolutionary, people are longing for this technology and we haven't seen nothing yet

Satoshi could be a man like Tesla.. that would amazing for us. Men like Tesla come around once every 100 years.

I don't think so. The idea of decentralized network at its core was the real innovation, and that wasn't Satoshi. That came from the developers of the HTTP protocol back in the early 90s.

The public ledger itself already existed in the form of torrent technology. Satoshi only built upon that already-existing technological foundation, adding encryption and solving the Byzantine General's problem.

Brilliant? yes, perhaps even genius. But Satoshi is certainly standing on the shoulders of giants.

If you think you know me.. Think again

I'm sure he is not a time traveler. Time travel is impossible. What I'm sure of is Satoshi has very advance mind and can predict the future.

He could only go back in time if he had access to a "time travel" machine pre 2009. We all know this is fact. Tongue
