We have many new people on the forum so I write this to make sure everyone knows the most important thing: who is Satoshi Nakamoto.
Bitcointalk was founded by Satoshi Nakamoto who also founded Bitcoin. But was bitcoin a bitcoin before being a bitcoin?
It will make sense in a few moments.
Things you must know: Satoshi Nakamoto is an anonymous and doesn’t refer to one person, it refers to a group of people. You can’t make bitcoin famous all by yourself, can you? Even if you had the knowledge to create such a system, how can you market it in 2009 to make it have value? People just went through financial crisis, they wouldn’t believe in a digital coin, would they? Even if bitcoin started on deep web, what criminal would accept 'bitcoin' instead of real cash? It is logically a group of people behind it. Still we must appreciate their mastermind!
It all started in 1998 when Nick Szabo (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Szabo ) invented BIT GOLD, a decentralized digital currency. NINETY-NINETY-EIGHT. Some people reading this weren't even born.
Have you ever heard ‘If Bitcoin is Gold 2.0, Litecoin is digital silver’? Going back to our question ‘was bitcoin a bitcoin before being a bitcoin?’ we can say it wasn’t. In fact, it was a bit gold. It is so clear that the inventors wanted to make a ‘digital value’ just like gold is in our physical world, and they succeeded!
Szabo is denying being Satoshi yet there are no public research papers where ‘Satoshi Nakamoto’ could access to inspire himself from Szabo. Furthermore, in 2008 it seems that Szabo wrote a comment on his blog regarding creating his currency. bitcoin was founded later in 2009. Nothing suspicious?
Plot twist: He is right. Szabo is not the only person behind Satoshi Nakamoto. There are other people including some who passed away, a $5 billion Australian ‘computer researcher’ who apparently stole the bitcoins from one of the founders, and many others.
But wait! Is Ethereum something else completely separated from bitcoin? Guess what, Mr. Szabo is also the first person to invent the term 'smart contract' which WAS NEVER USED before Ethereum. Nothing suspicious?
We are living the highest and best planned scheme ever yet it's so beautiful....
