Just what the original white paper wanted!

“What is needed is an electronic payment system dependent on support and adoption of centralized governments and banks."

What "original paper"? Written by whom exactly and with what credentials? I mean, at least a REAL name, an address and a place of work?

Or do you offer to the world to follow the prophecies of a profit with a fake name and no identity?

i assume they're referring to "satoshi" that cryptos creator who seemed to want to separate money and its control from government?

I wouldn't call him a prophet nor even agree with his views on money, but as the creator of that particular crypto his likely opinion on this would seem relevant

I wouldn't agree either, and that, together with the sheer impossibility of asking him about important aspects of his views is enough to render him irrelevant.

If he wanted to be relevant, he'd be here answering questions...

That's a modified quote from Satoshi's "White paper" because obviously I was joking that this was what the original crypto folks had in mind.
