so is this useful at all?
not really. but we can now confirm with certainty that the executable people downloaded matches satoshi's published source code exactly 😄
some other archeological fun facts:
- satoshi used windows xp with mingw
- he upgraded binutils halfway through the project
- he shipped a debug build, but turned on max optimization for one file: the hashing used for mining
- the exe everyone calls v0.1.0 is actually v0.1.1 and was compiled two days after satoshi announced v0.1. the original launch-day binary seems to be lost

i rebuilt satoshi's 2009 bitcoin.exe byte for byte!
afaik nobody has been able to perfectly recreate the executable published in 2009 from source, because we didn't know the exact build environment that was used.
using opus 5.5, i reverse-engineered satoshi's build machine from the binary.
it now outputs an exe with the exact same sha256 as the 2009 release!

"Those foundations are here for El Salvador to be building on in perpetuity."
@bitstein is the OG Bitcoin historian, as the founder and president of the @NakamotoInst.
His work preserves a digital archive of the most important ideas and conversations from Bitcoin's history and pre-history.
In this mini-interview at El Salvador's National Palace during Bitcoin Histórico, the extraordinary event produced by @stacyherbert and @maxkeiser and the @bitcoinofficesv, we discussed:
- why Bitstein founded the Nakamoto Institute in 2013
- some examples of their most famous articles and terms they've popularized such as "speculative attack" and "hyperbitcoinization"
- his first impression of El Salvador
- why it's important for Bitcoiners to understand history

Links rot. Documents disappear. Context gets lost. Those who understand why bitcoin was built the way it was won't be around forever.

My niece Stella makes the case for AI optimism, bitcoin as savings, and @AlphaSchoolATX 's model for education. If you've ever worried whether the kids are alright, Stella will make you excited about GenZ/Alpha entering the economy.
TFTC 695 w/ Stella of @AlphaSchoolATX: "I'm 15 and built my entire website using Claude without writing a single line of code. Being anti-innovation makes no sense. AI is the future."
We discuss:
⚡️ Gen Alpha's AI advantage
⚡️ The future of education
⚡️ Building with zero code

Your continued noise is working. Thank you to everyone pushing @realDonaldTrump to pardon Bill and me. Let's get this over the line. #pardonsamourai

As an aside, even if people literally hold cash at home rather than spending, saving in a bank/money market, or investing there is not a "loss" to the economy.
Hutt explains this in "The Yield from Money Held."
The holder subjectively prefers the certainty and readiness of cash, and the broader effect of many people holding cash bids prices down and increases purchasing power.

This year's Thanksgiving presentation: "Hyperbitcoinization is real."
Bitcoin is still up 1,000% since your uncle called it a bubble at the 2017 feast.
Serve haters portions adjusted for fiat inflation since they first questioned you. They must learn to stay humble, stack sats.
