Twelve chains, sorted by what each one's issuance rule settles about the price of a single unit — and by how much of that price the rule never touches.
Where Bitcoin's current reality has drifted from Satoshi's design intent: four axes — mining (one-CPU-one-vote to ASIC oligopoly), custody (own keys to exchange IOUs), governance, and scaling.
SerHack analyzed a pre-release Bitcoin genesis block dated September 10, 2008 — found in source code Satoshi shared in November 2008. The date matched Lehman's $3.9B loss report.
Jameson Lopp shows Satoshi deliberately throttled mining capacity, earning ~1.1M BTC when full capacity could have yielded ~2.19M BTC. Anyone claiming Satoshi was greedy hasn't done the math.
Hal Finney's RPOW system, a 2004 prototype for reusable proof-of-work tokens, gains posthumous recognition as one of Bitcoin's most important precursors.
Tim Swanson's comprehensive interview with Ray Dillinger for the Bitcoin whitepaper's 10th anniversary. Dillinger reveals technical details of his code review, including the floating-point discovery.
Ray Dillinger's retrospective on his role in Bitcoin's earliest days: reviewing the blockchain code, his division of labor with Hal Finney, and his reflections on Satoshi's integrity.
Seven Chinese government regulators jointly banned all ICOs and ordered domestic crypto exchanges shut. Bitcoin's price fell sharply but trading moved to decentralized platforms.
Cross-cutting reading of Bitcoin's 2015–2017 block-size war by phase, faction, and turning point: Bitcoin XT, BIP148 UASF, the New York Agreement, Bitcoin Cash, SegWit2x cancellation.
On LessWrong, Wei Dai clarifies he did not create Bitcoin — "only described a similar idea more than a decade ago" — buys a Radeon 5870 to mine, and warns Bitcoin lacks cryptographer security review.
Satoshi sized the 21 million cap so amounts would land between 0.01 and 1000. The cent ran through his code, his fees and more than two years of his writing. Yen never appears once.
By 2008 Microsoft's free compiler wanted a Passport sign-in. Satoshi built Bitcoin on a 1998 Visual C++ 6.0 and free MinGW. The registration era, pseudonymous sign-ups, and a design with no account.
Hal Finney's private email to Satoshi during pre-release code review, asking foundational scalability questions: 'How large do you envision it becoming? Tens of nodes? Thousands? Millions?'
Eight pages posted to a mailing list on October 31, 2008 — already the report of an 18-month-old, working system. Met first by silence, then by doubts about scale.
Bitcoin chose a hard 21M cap; b-money (1998) proposed elastic supply; fiat runs central-bank discretion. The cypherpunk debate, Wei Dai's 2013 regret, and 15 years of cryptocurrency variants.
Unidentified individual or group who authored the Bitcoin white paper (October 31, 2008), wrote the software, mined the genesis block, and guided early development before disappearing in April 2011.
Doubters called it unscalable in 2008. A famed hacker failed to break the code. A judge, a dictionary, and a Nobel nominator weighed in. What others said about Satoshi, read as one record.
