Crypto-asset analyst Yassine Elmandjra dug through old BitcoinTalk and P2P Foundation threads to find some lovable, historical gems.
In there, he discovered memorable Satoshi quotes as well as many posts that show us what Bitcoin was like in the early days.
Recently, there’s been a lot of discussion about what is considered “Satoshi’s True Vision.” To see what the Bitcoin creator really thinks, it’s useful to go back in time and read exactly what he was saying.
The entire thread can be found here.
