    It's Len Sassaman or Hal Finney.

    My money is on Finney, but this documentary won't prove anything so who cares.

    Intriguingly, as the date for the airing of the documentary has drawn near, a number of high-value wallets from the “Satoshi era” have become active for the first time since 2009.

    According to Bitcoin Magazine, around 250 bitcoins — worth approximately $15 million at Thursday's bitcoin rate of $60,754 to the dollar — were drained from wallets in the past two weeks. While the coins are not officially linked to wallets used by Satoshi Nakamoto, they have been dormant since the earliest days of Bitcoin, when the cryptocurrency was worth almost nothing. The wallets’ creators would certainly have been Satoshi’s earliest collaborators.

    The wallets might be old but 250 bitcoins is a really small amount for "the satoshi era" when block rewards were 50 bitcoins every 10 minutes. To put it in perspective, during that issuance schedule (pre-first halving) over 10 million bitcoin were minted.

    I've never seen such a turnaround like I've seen with Trump. What a time to be alive. I cannot wait for this movie in 2100 A.D.

    For historical purposes:

    Everyone is against Bitcoin before they're for it.

    Myself included.

    I don't know if they are for it more than they realize there's money to be made...so why not?

    I feel like I fall in that category. Same way people trade penny stocks. You don't need to believe it yourself, you just need others to.

    IMO Trump has full blown orange-pilled people in his orbit, but he's still pretty much a novice in terms of understanding it. His speech at BTC Nashville was a wet fart of a let down, especially compared to RFKJR (who actually gets it).

    I think he sees crypto as a money making opportunity first and only kinda realizes how transformational bitcoin is and will be.

    I didn't want Trump to be the President who carries the banner for BTC into the new era, because he's probably going to bring a tidal wave of cryptotrash along for the ride, but c'est la vie. Sometimes progress isn't linear.

    If it wasn't presented as a MOE when I first heard about it, I would probably be filthy rich.
