    This is probably the first Wall Street commentary on the idea of cryptocurrency, a critique of my bit gold proposal by @DonLuskin, only a few months before Satoshi released his Bitcoin white paper. https://web.archive.org/web/20080515022027/http://www.poorandstupid.com/2008_04_13_chronArchive.asp#3079142232624095259 …

        "one of the strangest proposals I've ever seen for monetary reform...Gold is a good claim because it is itself goods and services -- it represents the opportunity cost of digging up and refining more gold...But why is evidence of past expenditure of computer power valuable?"

        Works in my two browsers, perhaps try a different browser. Or try this and search for "BIT STANDARD" https://web.archive.org/web/20080516095457/http://www.poorandstupid.com/2008_04_13_chronArchive.asp …

        It's crazy just how close you were to inventing Bitcoin. Do you ever feel jealous that Satoshi put it all together before you? What do you think stopped you from doing it first?

        If there’s no such thing as an original idea, it could well be the case Satoshi was writing notes on the conversations you were having openly with others 🤷‍♂️👍

        I'm guessing it was more of a "Fight Club" sort of situation. Nick as Edward Norton and Satoshi as Brad Pitt. 🤣

        Proof-of-work timestamping was a very clever solution to distributed bookkeeping.
