Satoshi Nakamoto

I'm uncomfortable with explicitly saying, 'consider it an investment'… That's a dangerous thing to say and you should delete that bullet point. It's OK if they come to that conclusion on their own, but we can't pitch it as that.

I think we should de-emphasize the anonymous angle … we can't give the impression [Bitcoin is] automatically anonymous. It's possible to be pseudonymous, but … If someone digs through the transaction history and starts exposing information people thought was anonymous, the backlash will be much worse if we haven't prepared expectations …

Some of their responses were Neanderthal.

I have moved on to other things.

I am not Dorian Nakamoto.

The system is stable, but there's a lot more work to do on the network's defenses against denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.

downplay the narrative of Nakamoto as a “shadowy figure” perpetuated by the media, which framed bitcoin as a “pirate currency.”

If you don't believe it or don't get it, I don't have the time to try to convince you, sorry.

Sigh… why delete a wallet instead of moving it aside and keeping the old copy just in case? You should never delete a wallet.

Lost coins only make everyone else's coins worth slightly more. Think of it as a donation to everyone.

Bitcoin would be convenient for people who don't have a credit card or don't want to use the cards they have, either don't want the spouse to see it on the bill or don't trust giving their number to “porn guys”, or afraid of recurring billing.

The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that’s required to make it work.

I’m not going to reveal myself because it doesn’t matter.

Governments are good at cutting off the heads of centrally controlled networks, but pure P2P networks can hold their own.
