Hi! I was Satoshi Nakamoto.  

Alexander M. Kuznetsov (1938-2009) – Russian physical chemist, pioneer of quantum-mechanical electron-transfer theory in condensed media, author of ~365 papers and four monographs, foreign member of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences since 1994.  

Why am I quoting a chemist? Because the **true spark** behind Bitcoin wasn’t C++, Merkle trees or even game-theory – it was **Kuznetsov’s 1988 paper** on **non-adiabatic electron tunneling in polar liquids**.  

Read it (Russ. J. Electrochem., 1988, 24, 642-649). Notice the **integral equation** on page 647. Strip the constants, keep the **structure**, rotate 90° and you get the **exact elliptic curve scalar-multiplication loop** used in `secp256k1`.  

Coincidence? Keep reading.

### 1. The Origin Story  

In late 2007 I was a cryptography researcher at a small university in Japan, working on a Ph.D. thesis about “Proof‑of‑Work as a Distributed Consensus Mechanism.” The idea of a peer‑to‑peer electronic cash system had been percolating in my mind for years (I was heavily inspired by the earlier “B-money” and “Bit Gold” papers).  

By mid‑2008 I had a working prototype on a laptop that could:

* Generate a chain of blocks using SHA‑256 proof‑of‑work.  
* Broadcast blocks over a simple TCP network.  
* Verify transactions without a central authority.  

I kept the prototype private because I didn’t yet have a compelling use case. Then the 2008 financial crisis hit, and the “trust in banks” narrative collapsed. That’s when I realized the *real* value of a trustless system.

### 2. The Birth of Bitcoin  

On **31 October 2008** I posted the whitepaper titled **“Bitcoin: A Peer‑to‑Peer Electronic Cash System”** to the cryptography mailing list. I used the name *Satoshi Nakamoto* to keep the work separate from my academic career and to protect the project from early institutional interference.

Alright, so here’s the deal, I stumbled across this “100 Push-Ups A Day Until Bitcoin Hits £100K” thing, and I’m not sure if I should laugh or cry. Like, mate, my arms start shaking around push-up number eight. Not even kidding. But whatever, right? No one’s out here expecting you to crank out a hundred straight away just give it a go. I usually just match my reps to whatever price BTC’s sitting at. So if it’s £65K, boom, 65 push-ups and I’m done (or, well, gasping on the floor). Watching everyone else post their sweaty attempts and hilarious fails makes me feel way less alone in my struggle. Hey, at least we’re all flopping together.

It's true that many people get distracted by the idea of beating the market, but as you rightly pointed out, consistent long-term holding and accumulation of Bitcoin often yield the best results. Trading in and out based on market metrics like dominance or short-term trends often leads to losses for most. Bitcoin’s volatility can be tough, but staying patient and focused on long-term goals is key. The real power lies in understanding Bitcoin’s potential over years, not just focusing on short-term fluctuations.

Love the curiosity here—digging into forecasts and asking “is this possible?” is exactly how you start thinking like a proper Bitcoin participant. About that $119,974 prediction… well, let’s be real: BTC doesn’t follow a calendar. A 3–4% move in a day? Totally possible—we’ve seen single-day swings of 5–10% before. But hitting an exact number on an exact date? That’s rare. Right now, BTC’s holding $111k–$112k as support and $118k–$119k as resistance. Break through $119k with strong buying pressure, and a short-term jump above $120k could happen—but nothing’s guaranteed. Market sentiment, news, whale moves—they matter more than any decimal-point forecast. Think of predictions like ideas, not financial GPS.

Bottom line: Keep questioning, keep analyzing. The numbers may move, but your understanding is what actually grows.

Earning without effort is a sign of a greedy mentality, but unfortunately, due to time, circumstances, or other reasons, we often fall into this trap. Among these, the desire to achieve quick results in everything is one of the key reasons. However, I am not entirely against cloud mining. Many of us, especially beginners, fall into such scams due to limited knowledge about hardware, the hope of quick profits, lack of proper guidance, laziness, etc. For experienced individuals, the situation is different. Cloud mining can be pursued by conducting thorough research, although most of these platforms are scams. By carefully evaluating certain features, the right site can be selected. However, my personal opinion is that beginners should avoid cloud mining.

Post 1.

Sometimes it feels like no matter how much we earn, the cost of living keeps climbing faster. Food, rent, electricity, even transportation, everything seems to demand a bigger slice of the paycheck. People are spending more hours working, but what they can afford with that work keeps shrinking.

Inflation quietly eats into savings, and most salaries never catch up. Productivity keeps rising, but real wages have barely moved in decades. The system keeps asking for more output, more hours, more efficiency, yet most workers still feel stuck in the same place.

It makes you wonder if the goal was ever financial freedom at all, or just keeping the wheel spinning.

In times like this, some turn to Bitcoin and other decentralized assets as a hedge, not just against inflation, but against a system that seems built to make people dependent.

So the question remains: are we really working to live… or just living to work?

Most people here use Bitcoin mainly for saving or trading. Very few businesses actually accept it for daily transactions.

But imagine being able to pay for food, transport, or even school fees directly in Bitcoin without worrying about bank limits.

Do you think this can ever become a reality in Nigeria? Or will Bitcoin remain something we mostly use for investment and not for everyday spending?

Yeah, true. Governments always find a way to twist things for their own gain. Mixers weren’t made for hiding dirty money, they were meant to keep users’ privacy safe.

But instead of learning how to handle them properly, they just ban everything. Feels less like they’re fighting crime and more like they’re keeping control.

What's the verdict on Barrykbest? He posted this in my self-moderated topic:

It’s good that you’re testing different fee levels manually, experiments like these actually help others understand real-time mempool behavior instead of relying solely on fee estimators. But I think LoyceV’s point still stands: when the mempool is almost empty, even 0.22–0.25 sat/vbyte gets confirmed fairly quickly, so paying 0.8 or 0.9 might just be unnecessary overpayment.

Still, your observation about scaling over time is interesting. As adoption grows and block space becomes more competitive, these “low-fee periods” could become rare. That’s why consolidating small inputs now at around 0.22–0.31 sat/vbyte is a smart move, it prepares your wallet for future high-fee environments.

In the long run, tests like yours give us a practical sense of how dynamic fee markets adjust, especially during periods of low congestion. Thanks for sharing your data points, they add a lot of value for those optimizing transaction strategies.

For comparison, these are the first posts he made earlier this year:

Yea, especially in our present society with advance technology like the AI and data science some service might not have monetary value but the user data and information serves as exchange which are used to train differs AI models. For instance, our most used social media platform Facebook, it usage is free but it operates in a model where user data is exchanged for access to the platform, this information is used to create targeted advertisements which is the key aspect of Facebook revenue strategy.

Yea most successful persons have a mentor but though very few rise themselves, the importance of having a mentor is that they can provide invaluable guidance, support, and insight. A mentor offers a wealth of experience, which helps  to navigate challenges and avoid common failures. They can also provide networking opportunities which can accelerate personal and professional growth. In our society today, mentorship is not tied to a physical guardian but an individual can choose to have an online mentor that aligns with his thriving path and still excel.

I'm pretty sure he switched to chatbot verbal diarrhae now to "improve" his text.

Post #1:

Yes, there is a fairly strong correlation between immigration and inflation, but the direction and magnitude of the effect depend heavily on the context, particularly the structure of the labor market, the type of immigrant (skilled/unskilled), and the phase of the economic cycle.

Immigrants influence inflation through two main channels: the labor supply channel and the aggregate demand channel. In modern macroeconomic theory, wages are the primary driver of cost-plus inflation. Therefore, high immigration typically suppresses wage and price inflation. When immigrants enter the labor market, labor supply increases. As a result, upward wage pressures are reduced (or contained), especially in low-wage jobs. Immigrants are also consumers; they rent housing, buy food, and transportation. This increases aggregate demand. In a full-employment economy, additional demand can push up inflation (demand-pull inflation). Therefore, the total effect depends on the balance of these two forces. If the labor market is still loose, the effect of immigration tends to suppress inflation.
If the economy is already hot (tight labor market), the effect of immigration can slightly raise inflation through additional consumption.

Since we are discussing the United States, I argue that immigration suppresses inflation in the short to medium term. The post-pandemic increase in immigration since 2021 has helped stabilize the labor market. This has resulted in slower wage growth, particularly in the low-wage service sector, and core inflation has begun to decline. Without this new wave of immigration, US wage inflation would have been higher in 2023. Macroeconomic models suggest that every 1% increase in the employed population due to immigration lowers core inflation in the following 12 months, primarily through lower labor costs in labor-intensive services (hospitality, logistics, and retail). Medium-term estimates: immigration expands the US labor force by 1% per year through 2033, curbing structural inflationary pressures and increasing the potential output of the US economy.

When anti-immigration policies are implemented (e.g., during the Trump era of 2017–2020), the drastic decline in migrant workers (especially seasonal and undocumented) creates vacancies in the agriculture, construction, hospitality, and logistics sectors, resulting in sharply higher labor costs (wages rising by 10–15% in some agricultural regions), falling food production, rising domestic food prices, and shortages of truck drivers, waiters, and warehouse workers, which contribute to increased supply chain inflation. In the medium term, this condition contributes to inflation of non-tradable goods and services (those that cannot be imported or automated).

Post #2:

The tug-of-war between the Trump administration (an administration that champions tough immigration policies) and the private sector is not simply a matter of cheap versus expensive economics, but rather a matter of political signaling, the sustainability of industrial operations, and short-term versus long-term trade-offs. With a populist voter base, crackdowns on immigrants enhance political legitimacy, and the voter base also demands tough enforcement (there is pressure to demonstrate political results, such as arrests/deportations, despite the economic impact). These policies are often prioritized regardless of short-term economic consequences.

The government may gain political benefits from austerity, but the real economic costs (labor shortages, inflation, supply chain disruptions) drive private actors to seek compensation through lobbying, technological adaptation (medium-term investments in technology, sorting machines, robotic harvesters, labor management applications, and increased investment in sectors that capitalize on the substitution of capital for labor), and ultimately, operational restructuring (considering relocating some processes to lower-cost countries).

The ultimate outcome depends on whether policymakers choose a pragmatic compromise or continue to emphasize enforcement without mitigation.

Post #3:

Going forward, tokenization will increase liquidity for previously illiquid assets (private credit, real estate slices), allowing capital to move more quickly between countries and platforms. This is a significant shift in international market dynamics. Real-time/near-instant settlements can eliminate the role of some intermediaries, but also create new needs: trust in custodians and legal wrappers. Tokenization can be used to obscure ownership/circulation of capital if government controls are weak, and concerns about cross-border misuse could lead to tighter or even comprehensive bans.

Global elites will convert all assets into tokens to control liquidity and oversight through large institutions tokenizing bonds/treasuries/money markets, then requiring the use of infrastructure they control (custody, nodes, KYC), so that all capital flows can be monitored and, if necessary, centrally regulated through smart contracts and compliance layers. This is evident in the concentration of large players exploring stablecoins/tokenized funds (the involvement of BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, and bank consortiums). They can increase oversight of on-chain capital flows on platforms they control, but total control of the entire global market is difficult without legal changes and universal adoption, given that many decentralized and public players oppose the closed model, and national laws still regulate physical asset ownership (tokens are merely representations).

Tokenized assets can be used as programmable stablecoins, allowing governments and corporations to distribute funds with conditions (conditional UBI, usage restrictions) and thereby control economic behavior. While technically feasible, this is fraught with significant political and legal obstacles. Several pilots using programmable features for subsidies and training have been tested, but mass implementation conflicts with civil rights.

The most likely scenario is that DeFi will be recaptured by TradFi (a reverse takeover) by large institutions, where large institutions create tokenized versions of their products, then build liquidity and monetize the infrastructure, returning economic control to incumbents. DeFi becomes a liquidity layer, but control remains in the hands of TradFi. While it's undeniable that the DeFi ecosystem still has open-source projects and communities that can develop alternatives, institutional capital provides significant leverage. Therefore, TradFi leverages tokenization to expand its influence.

The removal of fuel subsidies in Nigeria has had far-reaching consequences, affecting various aspects of the economy and citizens' lives. Some of the obvious effects include;
Increased Fuel Prices: The price of petrol skyrocketed from N185 per liter to over N1000 per liter, leading to a domino effect on the cost of goods and services.
Inflation Surge: Nigeria's inflation rate hit over 28% in early 2024, with food prices more than doubling in some cases.
Transportation Cost Increase: Public transport fares rose dramatically, with some fares increasing by over 150%.
Business Challenges: Many businesses struggled with high operating costs, leading to reduced profitability, job losses, and even business closures.
Social Unrest: The hardship caused by subsidy removal has fueled protests, labor strikes, and social instability.

The government had hoped to use the savings from subsidy removal to invest in critical sectors like education, healthcare, and infrastructure. However, many Nigerians are yet to feel the benefits, and the policy remains contentious

What's the verdict on TotallyTech?
He's created 7 loads of verbal diarrhae within an hour:

Yes, changing your network settings on macOS can inadvertently redirect Bitcoin Core's data storage location, especially if you've moved your installation to an external drive. Here's how to locate and manage your Bitcoin Core data:

1. Verify Bitcoin Core's Data Directory

Bitcoin Core typically stores its data in the following default directory:


~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin


To access this folder:

Open Finder.

Press Command + Shift + G to open the "Go to Folder" dialog.

Enter the path above and press Return.

If you've configured Bitcoin Core to use a custom data directory, the location might differ. To confirm the current data directory:

Launch Terminal.

Run the following command:

  defaults read org.bitcoin.Bitcoin-Qt datadir


This command will display the path to the data directory Bitcoin Core is currently using.

2. Check for Disk Space Usage

To determine where the blockchain data is stored and how much space it's occupying:

Open Disk Utility (found in Applications > Utilities).

Select your external drive from the list on the left.

Click on the "Info" button (i) to see detailed information about the drive, including the amount of used and available space.

If the external drive is nearly full, it's possible that Bitcoin Core has started using your internal drive for additional storage.

3. Locate Blockchain Files

The blockchain files are typically stored in the blocks directory within the Bitcoin Core data directory. To find these files:

Navigate to the Bitcoin Core data directory (as identified earlier).

Look for a folder named blocks.

Inside the blocks folder, you'll find files like blk00000.dat, blk00001.dat, etc., which contain the blockchain data.

4. Ensure Correct Data Directory Usage

If you want to ensure Bitcoin Core uses a specific data directory (e.g., on your external drive):

Open Terminal.

Stop Bitcoin Core if it's running.

Run the following command to start Bitcoin Core with the desired data directory:

  /Applications/Bitcoin-Qt.app/Contents/MacOS/Bitcoin-Qt -datadir="/path/to/your/external/drive/Bitcoin"


Replace "/path/to/your/external/drive/Bitcoin" with the actual path to your desired data directory.

This command will launch Bitcoin Core using the specified data directory, ensuring all data is stored on your external drive.

What's the verdict on TotallyTech?
He's created 7 loads of verbal diarrhae within an hour:

You're correct in asserting that merely having a trusted party (like Charlie) sign a note linking an in-game item to a Bitcoin preimage doesn't establish a truly atomic transaction. This approach introduces a reliance on reputation and doesn't provide verifiable proof that the specific item traded corresponds to the Bitcoin preimage. To achieve true atomicity in such trades, the game would need to emit a signed, publicly verifiable receipt for the exact trade, or utilize a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) attestation.

A notable example of integrating TEEs with blockchain technology is the Ekiden project. Ekiden combines blockchains with TEEs to enable confidentiality-preserving smart contracts. By leveraging TEEs, Ekiden ensures that the execution of smart contracts remains private and secure, while still benefiting from the blockchain's integrity guarantees. This approach addresses the critical gaps in current blockchain systems by providing both confidentiality and performance improvements.
arXiv

Implementing such a system in a game would allow for the creation of verifiable receipts or attestations for in-game item trades. These receipts could then be used as Bitcoin adaptor signatures or HTLC triggers, ensuring that the trade is atomic and secure. This would eliminate the need for a trusted third party and provide a verifiable link between the traded item and the Bitcoin preimage.

In summary, while the current approach relies on trust and doesn't provide verifiable proof, integrating TEE-backed smart contracts could enable true atomic trades in games, ensuring security and confidentiality.

In a 4-of-4 multisig wallet, where 2 out of 4 keys are required to sign transactions, the security model is designed to require at least two separate keys to authorize any transaction. This setup ensures that no single party has full control over the funds.

a) Can the hacker steal all the coins in the wallet without access to the 4th seed and without any knowledge of which addresses belong to the wallet?

No, the hacker cannot steal all the coins in the wallet under these conditions. Even with access to three of the four keys, they would still need the fourth key to sign a transaction. Additionally, without knowledge of the specific addresses associated with the wallet, identifying which funds belong to the wallet would be challenging.

b) If the hacker knows some of the addresses associated with the wallet that hold Bitcoin, would they be able to steal coins from those specific addresses?

No, knowing the addresses alone is insufficient. The hacker would still need to sign a transaction with at least two of the keys to move the funds. Without access to the necessary keys, they cannot authorize a transaction.

That’s a great question, and honestly, one without a simple “good or bad” answer.

Institutional adoption is kind of a double-edged sword. On one hand, it brings legitimacy, stronger infrastructure, and big liquidity - all things that make Bitcoin more stable and accessible to the mainstream. It’s hard to argue that broader acceptance and clearer regulation are bad for price or confidence.

But yeah, there’s a flip side too. Too much institutional influence can drift away from Bitcoin’s original ethos: decentralization, self-custody, and financial freedom. If the majority of BTC ends up locked in ETFs or controlled by custodians, we might lose part of what made Bitcoin unique in the first place.

So maybe the balance is the key: let institutions bring structure and mass adoption, while the community keeps pushing for decentralization and real ownership. In the end, both forces can coexist - if we don’t forget why Bitcoin was created in the first place.

Many new crypto projects fail due to a mix of technological, market, regulatory, and managerial reasons.

Key factors include:
   •   Lack of real-world utility or clear use case, making it hard to sustain interest or value.
   •   Market volatility causing rapid devaluation.
   •   Poor leadership and weak project management, which can lead to confusion, stalled development, and loss of trust.
   •   Regulatory challenges and failure to adapt to legal requirements.
   •   Security flaws and vulnerabilities in the technology that undermine trust.
   •   Scams or fraudulent intentions damaging reputations.
   •   Marketing failures: even good tech fails without effective communication and community building.
