People are your best resource.
I am deeply grateful to Twitter for giving me access to the knowledge and insights of these brilliant and generous people – something that traditional media cannot provide, as it has become completely biased and limited.
That’s how I started.
If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.

Satoshi Nakamoto
Satoshi Nakamoto is the name used by the presumed pseudonymous person or persons who developed Bitcoin, authored the Bitcoin white paper, and created and deployed bitcoin’s original reference implementation.
As part of the implementation, Nakamoto also devised the first blockchain database. Nakamoto was active in the development of bitcoin up until December 2010 and them disappeared!
Special mention to Adam Back who developed “Hashcash” – a cryptographic hash-based proof-of-work algorithm – used by Satoshi at the core of the Bitcoin implementation.
