Think of all the wars that could have been prevented if we had chatlogs of what jesus and mohammed really said and thought. Of course, such important information would be prone to counterfeiting and forgery. If only there were a trustless public ledger....

that is basically how islamic scholars developed the hadith. while all we know about Jesus is what's in the Bible, Mohammed was a real person who spent his life conquering the middle east and said a lot of things to a lot of people. islamic scholars argue over the veracity of stuff Mohammed said or did based on how reliable the sources are in the chain back to Mohammed.

The fact they worship Satoshi as some great godlike figure, despite his chat logs still being around where he told them no and called them all assholes for what they did to his little tech demo is really astonishing.
What chatlogs are these where he told them no? He may not have wanted this exact iteration of cryptocurrency to be the big thing but he did seem to believe a lot of the things bitcoiners say too.

Could be. They're talking about the old Chaumian central mint stuff, but maybe only because that was the only thing available. Maybe they would be interested in going in a new direction.

A lot of people automatically dismiss e-currency as a lost cause because of all the companies that failed since the 1990's. I hope it's obvious it was only the centrally controlled nature of those systems that doomed them. I think this is the first time we're trying a decentralized, non-trust-based system.

Dear Satoshi. Your dox, passwords and IP addresses are being sold on the darknet. Apparently you didn't configure Tor properly and your IP leaked when you used your email account sometime in 2010. You are not safe. You need to get out of where you are as soon as possible before these people harm you. Thank you for inventing Bitcoin.

Pretty much this. His early posts talk about the bank bailouts and people controlling their own money. He may not be full on Ron Paul 2012 but still leaned that way a bit. He seemed to be mad that people tried to make money with it so quickly but this is also a guy who thought that rational actor users would not use GPUs for the good of the network. I don't remember the part where he "called them all assholes for what they did to his little tech demo" though.

the rear end in a top hat thing is when the wikileaks clusterfuck blew up and coiners wanted to gently caress with whatever 3 letter agency was in charge, they wanted to brint it on and satoshi told them to not bring it on i think

Yeah I was paraphrasing a bit, it was mostly him pleading with them not to pounce on his precious creation and that it was still way to early so please please please don't get crazy about this, whereupon bitcoiners ignored that and went full steam ahead into asics. He kept telling them they would ruin the entire point of his little project and that bitcoin was nowhere near ready for prime time, but by then the libertarians had decided it was their salvation so nothing he said mattered.

Then Andresen at the bitcoin foundation mentioned he'd spoken to some FBI people and poof, Satoshi was gone :iiam:

(Only be rediscovered later by Newsweek:ms:)

He was definitely a bit crazy, but the talk about him like he came down from a digital mount Sinai with the laws that would deliver them from the hated Fed, despite him directly telling them that they were getting crazy and ruining his idea.

Personally I blame the elements of the church that would eventually spawn Protestantism. Most protestant bibles take out extended Daniel which also includes dragon slaying. Presumably this hideous cult attempted to cull all bits of the bible that would make it closer to Ghostbusters and thus better.
