There is another thread which was open just after this one and is getting a bit more activity
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5472323.0I think most people put more emphasis on the Genesis Block from 03/01/2009 and so the
celebration is focussed around early January every year.
The Bitcoin Whitepaper was a BIG announcement to whoever listened in October 2008. Its
still interesting to read it today.
Thank you to _act_ for the link, its a very interesting questionaire and is very relevant to some
questions which have popped up on the forum over the last while - for example:
Q: Has your view of the whitepaper changed over time?
Jameson: The only thing that I think has really changed is my view of how little of the system the whitepaper
actually describes. It’s far from comprehensive. Bitcoin, as a protocol on a network and a whole ecosystem,
has grown far beyond the scope of the experiment that it was in 2008....
