God bless y'all, Sergeant Kenichi Jackson is m'name, and I beg y'all pardon.

I'm a 27 year old Japanese Confederate (Rebel, for y'all carpetbaggers). I play banjo and the fife, and spend m'days p'fecting my rebel yell and tending to my cottonfield.

I train wif m'musket every day, this superior weapon can make a dam' mess of y'all Yankee guts if ya had some because it is far superior to the smoothbore. I earned my Bowie knife license two years ago and I have been getting better every day.

I speak southern fluently, both Alabama and the Carolina dialect, and I curse the northern agressors fluently as well. I know everything about the states' rights and the three fifths' compromise, which I follow 100%.

When I graduate from Westpoint, I am going to join the army of Northern Virginia and cross the Potomac river to attack McClelland from the rear. I hope that by swift action in the Shenandoah river valley we can engage the Union armies from reinforcing the offensive against Richmond.

I own several bottles of moonshine, which I drink before breakfast to bolster my ferocity. I want to get used to killing that yankee soldier, otherwise we'll be crushed beneath the tyrant's heel and our rights shall be denied us.

Wish me luck in the Lost Cause!

start moving later coins 50 each time with a few weeks interval everyone will speculate someone with a q-computer simply broke the p2pk scripts. there would be a mass exodus to more quantum resistant addresses potentially taproot and people would stop reusing their old address.
but the price wouldn't tank because coin supply wouldn't change in any meaningful way in a given timeframe.

and of course the 3rd method of cashing out is simply laying out a plan in public with a signed message. detailing the exact schedule of the coins sell which would happen by limit orders 10.000 coins every $1000 dollars up in price.

wouldn't really tank shit if nobody expected satoshi to market sell. the daily traded volume is magnitudes bigger than that.

I'd have to disagree
Bitcoin is not your typical technological problem, it's more a solution to a consensus problem
A tradition or consensus gains MORE value the longer and steadier it has been working as opposed to technologies which obsolesce with time

Bitcoin is working fine on the base layer and it's not like it isn't getting better, stuff like taproot is gonna be based and it's ready to go
I don't think the blockchain was necessarily going to scale and grow in adoption at the same time, even hal finney predicted this
It leaves the growing protocol too open to attacks
Buy probably after this year or by 2023 the hashrate and buildout of the network will be sufficiently adopted to bring in more needed changes

so obviously i can't prove adam is not satoshi just like i can't prove craig is not satoshi even tho that shit is pretty god damn evident.

but the way adam inserted himself to the attention and the development so eager to somehow profit from his invention (hashcash) of which only an open protocol adopted that can not be ripped off for royalties is pretty telling for me.

bitcoin had 4 grandfathers and 1 father.
hal finney, adam back, wei dai and nick szabo
but satoshi was none of them. we don't know his name because he never wanted us to know his name.

They're not trivial on a blockchain though, they're a main concern
The other issue is whether you'd want to spend your bitcoins for coffee at all given its deflationary nature
Overall I see it as a small problem in terms of how the point is that you won't need to cash out your bitcoins into dollars
The end goal was always reserve currency status just some people could see and believed, and others didn't

oh and i meant the progress as a broad term as a civilization and how we pay for shit. the past 10 years almost nothing has changed. we are still using the same shitbrained technology that is credit cards the only change is they are now all nf cards. but it's still a fucking mess of a trusted authority bollocks and it's still insecure as fuck.

web payments recently started to get more secure. the one thing i can say very recently "improved" is the way you purchase online with a card. it's still crap of course but at least you have now 2 factor authentication at your own bank for authorizing a payment. it could still be miles better with proper application of cryptography and decent protocols. but https is something i will take it against cvv code.

it's a fucking disgrace all of it.

bitcoin can scale exponentially easily. the potential in taproot is also mindblowing.

but that all doesn't matter. i know that now.

i could pay for shit in a store with bitcoins already. but there are no stores that would accept it in my country whatsoever. but even if there were i would have to pay like 5% premium instead of getting 3% cashback. nah...

confiscation of wealth through thievery or inflation was a problem that needed a solution. the problem that trust will always get betrayed in the end needed a solution. and bitcoin fucking solved it. i fucking love bitcoin. i don't give a fuck about the rest.

Pretty sure it's not Adam Back.
He's a smart dude, but Satoshi's scaling strategy was to increase the block size.
He was explicitly okay with mega server farms taking over as long as they could process nano transactions.
Satoshi definitely would not be a cashie either. He said hash power decides which fork is legit, not throughput.
Satoshi approved of alts, but would never accept two forks calling themselve's bitcoin.

I'm absolutely sure Satoshi walked away because he was dying. Poor Hal probably lost his own pvt keys due to ALS crippling him out of the blue.

Adam Back hates alts, not even innovative ones that are attempting to expand beyond bitcoin's use case, that are adding value to the network effect.
