Can I help you build a website?

Because Satoshi went and took out bitcoin.org.

And he's like, yeah, I can use some help.

I'll pay you in Bitcoin.

But what I could really use help is I'd like somebody else to be mining all the time so that I know there's at least two people mining all the time.

And, you know, Hal Finney also, you know, started mining a few days later.

But if you look at the number of wallets, I mean, a year into Bitcoin, there was less than 100 people mining.

Wow, that's it?

That's it.

Because it just was not very well publicized.

You know, there wasn't any foundation.

There wasn't any PR firm.

You know, there was just Satoshi saying, you know, this is going to change the world.

And, you know, if you believe it, I mean, he has a famous...

saying, where he was trying to explain, he said, if you don't believe it or don't get it, I'm sorry, I don't have enough time to explain it to you.

And it's just like, there's another saying that was not by him, which is that people get Bitcoin at the price that they deserve.

So the people who learned about it really early and got it and kept it, I mean, they're billionaires now.

I mean, you have 10,000 Bitcoin, do the math.

And when it gets a million dollars, you have 1,000 Bitcoin, then you're a billionaire.

And so the effect of all these extremely wealthy people who were like bartenders and, you know, just, you know, crypto anarchists or like, you know, libertarians who put, you know, a hundred dollars into Bitcoin when it was a nickel or put a thousand dollars at a dollar and had the fortitude to hold no matter what.
