What does Satoshi Nakamoto's 9 page white paper mean to you?

What do you agree with or disagree with and is the white paper the holy grail or bible for BTC

I would not compare it to the bible because the bible is terrible.

The bitcoin white paper is at least written by a very intelligent person(s).

I would say that Satoshi's vision has been vindicated. Today, the Bitcoin network has two, huge factors in its favor. First, Bitcoin's protocol has all the right features - and no fatal flaws - for a general-purpose cryptocurrency, including store-of-value, accounts settlement, point-to-point payment processing, and business accounting. Second, Bitcoin has the first-mover advantage - it was the first blockchain-based cryptocurrency. I think the only thing that Satoshi probably did not fully anticipate was just how fast Bitcoin would grow. I believe that the Bitcoin whitepaper will one day go down in history alongside other paradigm-busting developments like the Gutenberg printing press, the PC and ARPANet.

This guys says it all. Close this thread. Somebody won the Oscar awards for the best comment. 
Bitcoin whitepaper would be sure written on history. And for Mr. Nakamoto, thanks man. You are just too brilliant. You change many lives.

It represents a document that should be given a Nobel prize for economics and peace simultaneously (instead of clowns and war criminals that usually get them).
