Drawn between doing another plushie that is either this herecomesbitcoin.org cat or this Warhammer-inspired battle mech. These are the kind of decisions you get to make working within the bitcoin space and practically nowhere else.

There’s always been a question about how best to onboard new bitcoin developers. Not anymore. Along with our pals at Bitcoin Devs, Chaincode, and the

“Sat rhymes with cat” is such an obvious miss on our behalf.

2024-10-10 13:29:51 GMT

The official position of the Spiral team is that Satoshi is a cat:
1) Never around when people want them to be.
2) Impossible to find when they don’t want to be found.
3) Eats weird gross food.
4) Proficient in C++, which has the number of characters as “cat,” starts with a C, and has a character that looks like a lowercase T.
5) Keeps weird hours.
6) Prefers English spelling because all cats have British accents.
7) What are cypherpunks if not mysterious? What are cats if not mysterious?
8) Independent and unknowable.
9) Whiskers, probably.
10) Could be sitting next to you and you wouldn’t know it.
11) Could be sitting on you and you wouldn’t know it.
12) Knows how to use a keyboard.
13) Very popular online.
14) Known to “move on to other things.”
15) Satoshi Nakamoto is a Japanese name. You know who eats a lot of fish? The Japanese. You know who else?
