Early Cypherpunk emails reveal a Blueprint for Bitcoin

[DreamStage]

The cypherpunks, a ragtag group of tech tinkerers, cryptographers, and privacy advocates, were obscure in their 1990s heyday. And it would have remained that way in perpetuity were it not for a certain Satoshi Nakamoto launching a digital currency in 2009 encapsulating their core beliefs. We don’t know if Satoshi was a cypherpunk. But what we do know from rediscovered mailing list conversations is that many of the cypherpunks’ early ideas were to be enshrined in Bitcoin more than a decade later.

Full News here

Maybe Satoshi wasn't the founder of Bitcoin's ideology after all or maybe Cypherpunks took it from him in the early days and he implemented immediatly after discovering.

In the end the one true founder that started network side by side implementations was Nakamoto.

Cypherpunks were basically doing some background non official, probabily illegal activites (trying to money laundering) or who knows.

But the most important thing is that Hal Finney’s was the visioner behind all that looking like Satoshi Nakamoto's true person.

actually. the majority do know what actually occured. we do know the series of events.
but it appears YOU dont know and maybe best you do some more research

..
think of it this way.
one guy invented the wheel. another invented a combustion engine. and another invented a seat.
but one individual put all those elements together and created the first car.
your mis-interpretation/lack of knowledge is trying to assume the wheel inventor invented the car.
your mis-interpretation/lack of knowledge is trying to assume the group collectively invented a car and then nominated a single spokesperson as an official inventor.

sorry its neither of those cases

the individual that used the nym satoshi invented bitcoin. he put different elements together in a never seen/thought of way that the other people never thought of doing. he published his idea to the others because he researched their elements to find which elements can work together. he then coded his idea and released it for the others to try and to help bug fix/test it.

This is the perfect example that you can give, Satoshi took all the past knowledge and encapsulated into BTCitcoin and that is the biggest invention, the idea is not new, there were people trying to create their version of the digital currency from the early 90s but Satoshi came up with the idea that the biggest obstacle everyone was facing was the double spending problem and the centralized issue where the government can stop any project from gaining attention and Satoshi changed everything by introducing the blockchain to get rid of double spending and a decentralized currency so that the government cannot shut it down even if they wanted to.

Of course, Satoshi was not creating stuff ex nihilo. There've been ideas of decentralization, anonymity, development of cryptography and even the first centralized 'cryptocurrency' before Bitcoin. There've been nice threads and articles on this forum about Pre-history of Bitcoin, and some threads on historical development also mention these steps like David Chaum's Digicash and cypherpunk ideology. And Hal Finney is also largely mentioned as a significant contributor. He's clearly not Satoshi, but he was helpful and important. So yeah, the article is right, but it's not something surprising to me.
