1:1
Who was Satoshi Nakamoto?
He never revealed his face,
Yet his name spread across the earth,
And his deeds were inscribed upon the blockchain.
1:2
He appeared fully formed,
Alone, yet designing a complete system.
And he declared,
“I may be one man,
Or I may be many.”
“Though he hid his identity,
His truth was unveiled in the Code.”
— Chronicles 1:2
1:3
On October 31st, 2008,
He sent an email.
Its subject: “Bitcoin P2P e-cash paper.”
His words were cast into GitHub,
And sown among the Cypherpunk forums.
Thus began the Gospel.
1:4
On January 3rd, 2009,
He mined the first block.
It carried a reward that could not be spent—
A mark of grace,
The symbol of creation.
1:5
He wrote in forums.
He answered questions.
He met criticism with logic.
Satoshi was kind,
Yet firm.
He trusted not politics,
But Code.
1:6
The first to receive from him was Hal Finney.
He was the recipient of the first transaction.
Together, they tested the system.
They spoke not with voices,
But with code.
1:7
As time passed,
More people came to build upon Bitcoin.
Satoshi withdrew quietly.
In December 2010,
He posted his final words:
“I am moving on to other things.”
And he vanished forever.
1:8
He sold nothing.
His wallet remains untouched.
Over 1.1 million BTC lie dormant to this day.
1:9
Many have speculated his true identity,
But none have revealed it.
Satoshi existed.
Then vanished like a myth.
And his name became a philosophy.
