I'm also curious as to what was the clue or first word that you found out! Impressive work, and well, I'm happy you're probably the first person to ever read my bio!
I tried a variety of seven letter words first as I mentioned above, as I figured that would have the least number of possibilities. Managed to fit in another couple of words, but nothing that made sense as a "simple sentence". Then I read your bio, and figured that actually we are very similar and you hold in high regard many of the same things I do - I am hugely outspoken on these forums in terms of protecting your privacy and not trusting third parties. So then I went back to the clues, and with Genesis Block in bold I decided to start trying different words from the message within. I tried "bailout" first, but again, couldn't find anything that made sense. So then I tried "banks", which made the next word obviously "are". From there various attempts at "banks are ... enemies", before landing on the right answer.

Probably helped that it is an exact phrase I've used myself several times before:
My underlying point is the government is not your friend.
Exchanges are not your friend

And then the text which pops up when it was solved, again, I've spoken about many of those exact things on this forum before:
Federal Reserve reserve requirement being dropped from 10% to 0%: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5243789.msg54312381#msg54312381
Canadian censorship: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5387401.0
Privacy is a fundamental human right: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5349899.msg57557108#msg57557108

So it seems we both think very similarly about the world in general. Perhaps that why I was successful in solving it. Smiley
