Mark was the nerd hero. They were the mean rich jocks 😒

It’s a treasure trove of essential #Bitcoin writings

They had a common vision – Hyperbitcoinization – a time when $BTC replaced all fiat currencies 🤩

*Why Plato Is a #Bitcoin Legend*

Mined $BTC when it was under $1
Traveled 3,000 miles and spent it all

| A thread ️‍🔥

1. Plato discovered #Bitcoin in 2010.

He loved that it was a “limited, non-inflatable” money

He wanted spread the word – so he decided to drive from Connecticut to California. He’d spend only $BTC ❗

2. Plato left home in April 2011. #Bitcoin was $1.30

At the time, almost no one accepted crypto

He relied entirely on donations and in-person trades 🤯

✨ 16 facts about Satoshi Nakamoto’s #Bitcoin white paper on its 16th Birthday. A thread 🧵

1/ The #Bitcoin white paper is 2,736 words long, shorter than the Magna Carta (3,550 words) and the U.S. Constitution (4,543 words)

It's half the size of the average academic paper, which is typically 4,000 to 10,000 words

2/ The word #Bitcoin only appears twice in the paper.

It’s widely believed Satoshi named Bitcoin late in the process, and there's evidence he may have wanted to call it “Electronic Cash” or “Netcoin.”
