The ever growing mythology around what is, at least now, a fictional persona, is mind blowing to see develop. Todays Satoshi is probably so far removed from the original that if he really were an individual actually called Satoshi, hed likely be just as much in awe of this character as everyone else seems to be.

This is the making of genuine mythology, the first, or at least the most obvious, Ive ever seen. I imagine many of the classic myths were created in a similar manner, albeit a lot slower without the internet. If Bitcoin stays around and goes mainstream, in a couple millennia there may be stories about Hercules and Satoshi killing hobbits in Narnia.

lol I want to see that movie.

Same.

Makes me think a Satoshi inspired fiction anthology might be in order.

Yeah, I'm big fan of Stephenson, one of the only writers who gets away with massive info dumps. "Gets away with" doesn't quite give credit to what he actually does...
