书籍介绍
Have you, like the rest of the world, speculated as to the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, anonymous creator of Bitcoin? The world’s first cryptocurrency, Bitcoin went online in 2009 and has since revolutionized our concepts of currency and money. Not supported by any government or central bank, completely electronic, Bitcoin is a virtual currency based on advanced cryptographic systems. Like the currency he created, the identity of Bitcoin’s creator Satoshi Nakamoto is virtual, existing only online. The Nakamoto persona, which may represent an individual or a group, exists only in the online publications that introduced and explained Bitcoin during its earliest days. Here, collected and professionally published for the first time are the essential writings that detail Bitcoin’s creation. Included are Satoshi Nakamoto Emails and Posts on Computer Forums Presented in Chronological Order Bitcoin Fundamentals Presented in Layman’s Terms Bitcoin’s Potential and Profound Economic Implications The Seminal Paper Which Started It All The Book of Satoshi provides a convenient way to parse through what Bitcoin’s creator wrote over the span of the two years that constituted his “public life" before he disappeared from the Internet ... at least under the name Satoshi Nakamoto. Beginning on November 1st 2009 with the publication of the seminal paper describing Bitcoin, this public life ends at about the time PC World speculated as to a possible link between Bitcoin and WikiLeaks, the infamous website that publishes leaked classified materials. Was there a connection? You be the judge. Nakamoto’s true identity may never be known. Therefore the writings reproduced here are probably all the world will ever hear from him concerning Bitcoin’s creation, workings, and theoretical basis. Want to learn more about Bitcoin? Go directly to the source—the writings of the creator himself, Satoshi Nakamoto!
精彩摘录
  • "当然,信用卡也同样会激励从无辜信用卡主窃取信用卡号码的行为。 银行账户激励黑客试图闯入系统寻找银行账号。 汽车激励一些人从无辜加油站老板那里偷汽油。 我相信比特币的好处将超过它带来的危害,而且更相信自己有能力做出道德判断。可能我是错的,也可能会后悔曾经参与过这些活动,但是如果只做百分百确定以后肯定会带来好结果的事,那永远都无法做出任何新鲜有趣的事。"
用户评论
我为什么觉得加密货币经济很吸引人,因为它实际上是在从机制设计这个角度在挑战人性里最难克服的一部分:马太效应。虽然说区块链对安全性的高要求可能是对商业环境上的一个不合理的假设,但为什么说区块链对我们社会依旧有意义,因为比特币其实是在尝试解决一个分权的系统。任意一个规则的执行者也就是矿工为了平衡他们pow的支出会流转起他们得到的比特币,规则执行者和资源持有者是得以分开的。任何一个腐败的系统去追溯他们的源头可能都来自于官商勾结,在于制定规则的人成为游戏的最大玩家,而形成后来者难以破除的垄断关系。而比特币带来的是另一个思维,任何的后来者都能够几乎平等和所有先前加入系统的人平等竞争(permissionless & memoryless的系统),因为pow所依赖电、机器相比资本是远能够平均分布的。
