The other day, I wondered what I’d ask if I had the opportunity to interview Satoshi. What topics would I want to cover with him? What do I want to know most?
So far, I’ve been able to come up with 11 sets of questions about various topics that I think would be fascinating to hear from the mysterious creator of Bitcoin.
Let me know in the comments if I missed anything, or tell me what you would ask Satoshi.
🔥 20 unlocks and counting...
Yeah, I’m keen to know what he thinks of what has become of Bitcoin; in particular pertaining to the ‘digital gold’ narrative, given that his white paper mentions digital gold neither explicitly nor implicitly; the closest possible reference being in Section 6 – Incentives, which includes the sentence:
“The steady addition of a constant amount of new coins is analogous to gold miners expending resources to add gold to circulation.”
Correction:
Section 6 is titled ‘Incentive’, not ‘Incentives’.
I’ll ask him your number 2 question. I wonder where the idea came from, perhaps he had alot of issues at the bank. Because who thinks to revolutionalize the whole finance world? Who further succeeds at it, then goes tadaaaa.. “i don’t want you to know me nor my real name, here’s my sobriquet if you must remember a creator.”
Did he have kids? A wife? He didn’t leave any benefit of his creation for them..
How did you know it’ll catch on? From the percussions he took he must have been so certain it’ll succeed. He didn’t tell anyone he’s the creator. Those are secrets if 2 people know, it’s no more a secret. He just coded.
Most importantly, how did you connect with hal Finney?
