I have gone through some of those e-mails and I thought what's happening. Yesterday we saw Satoshi and Adam Back's e-mails today we are seeing Sirus and Satohi's e-mails. Is that that Satoshi is going to reappear in the picture once again or something else is going on?

I was shocked when I saw Satoshi mail where he was saying that he doesn't write well, but when you read his conversations you can see that he used to write very well. Those e-mails alone can say that when you read them, looks like Satoshi someone finds himself not a good writer but actually his writings show a whole different picture to me.

Interesting topic, thank you OP.

Funny to read some of these emails today:

You're still thinking as if the difficulty level will be so easy that
people will be able to generate all the bitcoins they want.

Imagine you have to run your computer 24/7 for a month to generate 1
cent.  After a year, you could generate 12 cents.  That's not going to
make it so people can just generate all the bitcoin they want for spending.

The value of bitcoins would be relative to the electricity consumed to
produce them.  All modern CPUs save power when they're idle.  If you run
a computational task 24/7, not letting it idle, it uses significantly
more power, and you'll notice it generates more heat.  The extra wattage
consumed goes straight to your power bill, and the value of the bitcoins
you produce would be something less than that.

I am not so inclined to agree with you on the English, it is good but there are errors that a native speaker would not make, not that you are saying that but it has been discussed a lot.

Its all very well written and the punctuation is good so perhaps I am wrong, not that it matters, I was just killing time!

I will highlight them when I get a chance.

The use of it'll & there'll is very informal and not so common.
Until we're closer to ready to start is incorrect.

Love the 10,000 Btc send, just casual as can be!

Back when sending 10,000 btc was casual:




Satoshi downplayed his writing, but as evident from the emails, his English was perfect, much better than mine. I don't remember a single instance where he even made a spelling error.
