As we approach the 14th anniversary of Satoshi Nakamoto's last known correspondence, there remains a significant amount of undiscovered content linked to Satoshi. The latest releases of Satoshi's writings were part of a case involving Craig Wright, revealing previously unseen emails. Michel Bauwens, founder of the P2P Foundation, has also come forward discussing his interactions with Satoshi. He recalls early conversations where Satoshi distanced himself from being identified as the creator. Bauwens expressed caution about Bitcoin's energy consumption while recognizing the promise of a socially sovereign currency not tied to a firm or state. He emphasized the innovation of Bitcoin's universal ledger system. Despite some misconceptions about token distribution, Bauwens participated in discussions about Bitcoin as a post-capitalist device offering an exit strategy from nation-state limitations. The piece highlights the continuing mystery surrounding Satoshi's true identity and contributions, and the impact of Bitcoin on economic paradigms.
