Bitcoin evangelist Michael Saylor inspires heated discussion about Satoshi Nakamoto in his X blog
Vocal Bitcoin supporter and founder of MicroStrategy Michael Saylor has taken to his X account to send a new message about the mysterious BTC creator to his audience.
His Satoshi Nakamoto message, in which he recalled Nakamoto’s “tactics” about creating a new idea and sending it into masses, has raised a wave of comments from the crypto community, mostly positive and inspired ones. This is what he tweeted: “Satoshi created a way, gave it away, and walked away.”
Crypto users in the comment thread have left such comments as “That’s the way,” “A lesson to be learned in this! Study #Bitcoin and keep your head down,” “A very selfless act” and so on, to show support for Saylor and BTC.
Some, however, also began to criticize the current state of Bitcoin after Nakamoto left it in the hands of the BTC core developers, as well as criticizing Saylor: “And people like you ruined it.”
“He created a way, did not give it away and never walked away. you are still new in this,” “And then btc core devs manipulated by malicious state actors changed it from p2p cash to a settlement network.”
Nakamoto cited by Samson Mow as he spoke about privacy
On Friday, Samson Mow, the CEO of Jan3, a company that is focused on helping nation-states to adopt Bitcoin, quoted the Bitcoin white paper written by the enigmatic Satoshi Nakamoto. By quoting the “gospel” of the Bitcoin community, Mow emphasized the virtue of Bitcoin to maintain privacy as opposed to the way it was done by banks.
The white paper says that banks reach a certain level of privacy “by limiting access to information to the parties involved and the trusted third party.” As for Bitcoin, it keeps public keys anonymous, Mow stated, quoting Nakamoto’s document. “The public can see that someone is sending an amount to someone else, but without information linking the transaction to anyone.”
