Satoshi Nakamoto's emails have been exposed! Yes, you heard that right, the mysterious founder of Bitcoin. Imagine, emails from 15 years ago, containing remarkably prescient insights into the future issues of Bitcoin such as energy consumption and legal scrutiny.
So, Bitcoin, on one hand, has opened up exploration into new financial realms, but on the other hand, it has attracted a heap of criticism, especially regarding its energy consumption and legal scrutiny. It's said that Satoshi Nakamoto mentioned Bitcoin's energy consumption issue as early as 2009. He believed that while Bitcoin might become a significant energy user, it would still be more efficient compared to the labor and resource consumption of traditional banks. He even remarked that if we ultimately have to choose between economic freedom and environmental protection, it's ironic.
Moreover, Satoshi Nakamoto also foresaw the legal issues Bitcoin might face. He warned that promoting Bitcoin as an investment could attract regulatory scrutiny and even pose too much risk. He leaned more towards seeing Bitcoin as a payment system rather than an investment tool. Interestingly, his views on blockchain technology were also unique. He believed that blockchain could be used not only in the financial sector but also as a notary system, adding immutable timestamps to documents to prove their existence. |
