In this episode, Knut talks with Francis Pouliot (CEO and co-founder of Bull Bitcoin, one of Canada’s leading Bitcoin-only exchanges) about his journey into Bitcoin and its impact on society and politics. We talk about how Bitcoin gives people more financial freedom, the problems with traditional money, and why it's hard to explain Bitcoin to beginners. Francis highlights the value of meetups, decentralized technology, and using Bitcoin in everyday life. They also discuss the ethics of money and what makes Bitcoin different from other cryptocurrencies. Through personal stories and insights, the conversation focuses on a future where people have more control over their own money with Bitcoin.

Wow ... it's difficult. Satoshis to get to the final result, had to rely on previous work of other people.

Then I would say that Satoshi came to gather all the pieces and order them to shape what we know as Bitcoin. I suppose, that possibly he must have created connections between those pieces to be able to put everything together and in the end achieve what their before.

I would say that I could use both words to describe what happened ... since Bitcoin consists of both aspects.

There were people who discovered some aspects, and other aspects were invented and the whole of all that work of years ended up shaping what we know as the Bitcoin protocol

Ok, here's a version -- courtesy of Andrew Bailey and Craig Warmke in the satoshi papers chapter:

So Satoshi had to pay for his bitcoin, just like anyone else. He did not make magic beans out of thin air and hawk them at the local market. He bought them from nature, and the price was energy. So although bitcoin had early adopters, it has no insiders.
