hypothetical question i guess but just curious for views of the community...
on what would satoshi and original development team (whoever who or they are) do differently
if could travel back in time and it was to write the white paper again today with all the knowledge and experience gained from adoption,
development and state of economy and worldwide community today??
many thanks!
We know what Satoshi did (my speculative take follows).
He got paranoid when the Feds started getting close. He didn't want to deal with the heat so he disappeared.
It's possible that he suffered a mental breakdown, it's also possible that he lives a more private life. It's possible that somebody made him disappear too.
If you wanna guess on what he'd do, first read the whitepaper, then read some of his posts.
It will all be very enlightening.
But heed my warning. Bitcoin is not a cult of personality. We don't worship satoshi. The greatest gift satoshi did is not turn Bitcoin into a cult of personality.
He also gave as a great gift of not using his coins. Being the first he probably mined tons of bitcoin. He probably doesn't even have the keys anymore but even if he does, his strong hands have made bitcoin a lot scarcer therefore more valuable.
His hands are so strong that I don't thing we can say they're made out of still or even diamond.
They're hands of marble, a statue, a long dead man from an ancient civilization.
What would satoshi do? No-one can say for sure. But he was a cautious man. He didn't want to get the attention of the feds and he didn't want the bitcoin community to do that either. He didn't want us needlessly kicking the hornets nest.
