16 years ago today, Satoshi Nakamoto wrote one of the most quoted lines in Bitcoin history:
“If you don’t believe me or don’t get it, I don’t have time to try to convince you, sorry.”
Most people think it was about convincing others to believe in Bitcoin.
It wasn’t.
It came from a technical discussion on Bitcointalk about Bitcoin’s scalability and payment speed. After explaining the design, Satoshi ended the debate with this now-legendary sentence.🫡
