Title: Satoshi Nakamoto Institute and the Importance of Bitcoin History Post by: bitstein on December 23, 2013, 09:16:37 PM Many newbies entering the Bitcoin community tend to think that Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin in a vacuum, but Bitcoin is actually part of a wider Cypherpunk/crypto-anarchist movement using cryptography to establish protocols that compete and can replace legacy institutions.
To address a wider lack of scholarship about Bitcoin, its history, and its social implications, members of the Mises Circle at the University of Texas (http://themisescircle.org), Pierre Rochard, Daniel Krawisz, and myself (Michael Goldstein), have teamed up to form the Satoshi Nakamoto Institute (http://nakamotoinstitute.org/). By addressing the history of monetary and legal systems and the history of attempts by cryptographers to address these issues, we can better understand why Bitcoin is important and the principles for which it stands. So far, you can find source material from Satoshi Nakamoto, Nick Szabo, Timothy C. May, Whitfield Diffie, and others, including economists such as Peter Šurda, Konrad S. Graf, and Friedrich Hayek. With your support we can help foster a more diverse, principled, and intellectual community celebrating the use of technology to make a freer world.

where you mention the Nakamoto Institute. Is this a legitimate foundation? Because the Bitcoin Foundation seems to be fully of degenerates.

Is this a legitimate foundation? Because the Bitcoin Foundation seems to be fully of degenerates. That video has ~3X the views then what GoCoin's most watched video on YouTube has, and I'm almost pretty sure it didn't have to secure $550K USD VC to obtain that reach. My only concern is that Brock Pierce may somehow extract the gold from Goldstein and try to sell on on some exchange prior to it going belly-up. |
