Cross-cutting architecture comparison across every subsystem: Satoshi's v0.1 (January 2009) side by side with modern Bitcoin Core v27+, with split diagrams and domain tables.
How the Bitcoin ecosystem layers above and around the base chain: Lightning payment channels, federated sidechains, L1 envelope extensions, and mining pool architectures.
How Bitcoin Core persists blocks, maintains the UTXO set, indexes chain state, manages the mempool, prunes historical data, and bootstraps via assumeUTXO.
How Bitcoin Core manages keys, constructs transactions, selects coins, estimates fees, and exposes functionality through RPC, REST, and ZMQ interfaces.
How Bitcoin's 21 million cap emerges from a geometric halving series, how block rewards transition from subsidy to fees, and how the incentive model sustains honest mining.
How Bitcoin nodes find each other, exchange transactions and blocks, and resist network-level attacks across the P2P gossip layer.
How Bitcoin blocks are structured, how Merkle trees commit transactions to block headers, and how the most-work chain selection rule resolves forks.
Deep-dive into Bitcoin's transaction layer: UTXO lifecycle, transaction structure, Script evaluation, ECDSA and Schnorr signatures, SegWit, and Taproot.
High-level system overview of Bitcoin's architecture, layer model, and data flow. Entry point to a 12-page design-document series covering every major subsystem.
He built RPOW, received the first Bitcoin transaction, and lived blocks from Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto. The evidence for Hal Finney as Satoshi, weighed.
He conceived Bit Gold, and three of the four most-cited stylometric studies place him first. The evidence for Nick Szabo as Satoshi, weighed.
Bitcoin v0.1 reuses one cypherpunk primitive (PoW from Hashcash), borrows general CS components (Merkle trees, linked timestamping, ECDSA), and synthesizes the rest (UTXO, mining, 21M cap, P2P).
Hashcash's inventor and the first person Satoshi contacted. In April 2026 the NYT named him the closest stylometric match among 620 cryptography-mailing-list writers. The evidence, weighed.
