My fellow retards,
If you read the early bitcointalk posts, you get a glimpse at the very early days of bitcoin. Phon/ongod remembers consuming every piece of information on the web before building the courage to enter a live bitcoin meetup with other humans. Those early posts are full of gems discussing what the future may hold for bitcoin. Go check out some of Hal Finney’s posts – his retrospective on the first four years is excellent, and sad. - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=155054.0
Can you imagine joining bitcoin and mining when the difficulty was set to 1? Hal received the first btc transfer from Satoshi. He is a legend. Frankly, he may be part of team Satoshi. Or not—who knows.
Something I think about when reading old bitcoin posts is trying to articulate what bitcoin actually is. Most of us should agree—the blockchain implementation with the heaviest weight is bitcoin. So all those others who split off at a certain height with a new set of consensus rules are not technically bitcoin, they are something else. We may want to defend our tribe and say they are shitcoins or whatever else, but phon/ongod is of the opinion that every implementation of bitcoin should exist, with every ruleset one can imagine. They just aren’t bitcoin. Thankfully your private key now controls UTXOs on the real bitcoin chain, and whatever forked version is to come into existence. Your private keys become more valuable every time a new community decides to form around a new implementation or consensus ruleset. Correspondingly, those private keys in the Phonon world become more powerful, as does the Phonon network.
Phon/ongod and community desire for every implementation conceivable to exist, because it means more networks that Phonon can service. The more implementations that exist, the more powerful the idea of Phonon is. Let us bathe in the waterfalls of brilliance from future Hal Finney’s—those who desire some new system that we have yet to conceive, so long as private keys are at the base layer.
