As an FA who got in finance to fight from within a corrupt world, to truly help people, I took to bitcoin back in 2013-14 when I discovered it, especially when I was learning how corrupt big banks truly were/are at that very same time ( I wish one CNBC host had the balls to say to Jamie next time he calls BTC a scam, “what about Chase under your leadership. From 2000-2006 JPM had roughly 6M in fraud violations. When you took over in 06, to today…”). Look where that number stands now-

Anyways, Outside of btc’s potential to change the world, at least IMO at the time,
I also was and am beyond fascinated w SNs Escrow proposal. I’ve posted about it before here, esp after Szabo told me he “believes so” when I asked if SN was referring to the use of SCs to create this proposal. GMax has shared w/me why this proposal hadn’t (still hasn’t?) come to fruition. The sheer time coding up such a revolutionary financial programing proposal using cryptography is what I believe to be the equivalent to btc’s solving of DS and true decentralization. Hashcash, Bit-Gold , Ripple (not then XRP) etc had all been proposed years before SN finally cracked the code.
I’m assuming the SN 2party escrow proposal “answers” ( ex
https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/papers/2019/2019-wagner-dispute.pdf ) that have been created thus far are the equivalent to what HashC, Bit-G etc were trying to achieve. Greg, Achow and I know a few others here can confirm this one way or another and would LOVE an update, if possible 🙏
On to what I’ve shared here a few times over the years but still never been given a definitive “yes, you busted him out here” or “no, you didn’t because..”
So, id love to put this to bed once and for all.. (any feedback is greatly appreciated).
“We are all SN, except for CW” 😁

FYI I was baiting him here, and purposely trying to sound completely lost and like a moron, a tactic learned from Sasha B.C. who explained how pretending to be a complete ignoranous will help put one’s guard down if they believe you are that. Respkt!
