💬 10 Timeless Quotes from Satoshi Nakamoto — The Mind Behind Bitcoin

Whoever Satoshi Nakamoto is — individual or group — they changed the world forever with Bitcoin. But beyond the code, it was Satoshi’s words that truly captured the vision behind the revolution.

From cryptic messages in the Genesis Block to fiery replies on mailing lists, here are 10 of Satoshi's most powerful and thought-provoking quotes, along with why they still matter today 👇

1️⃣ “The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on Brink of Second Bailout for Banks.”
Hidden in Bitcoin’s first block, this message wasn’t just a timestamp — it was a warning and a mission statement.

2️⃣ “I’ve been working on a new electronic cash system that’s fully peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party.”
No middlemen. No banks. Just code, consensus, and math.

3️⃣ “Most of the value comes from the value that others place in it.”
A reminder that belief — not just utility — drives value. Just like gold, Bitcoin's scarcity gives it strength.

4️⃣ “If you don’t believe it or don’t get it, I don’t have the time to try to convince you, sorry.”
Mic drop. Not everyone will get it. And that’s okay.

5️⃣ “Lost coins only make everyone else’s coins worth slightly more. Think of it as a donation to everyone.”
Scarcity in action. Every lost Bitcoin strengthens the network.

6️⃣ “When someone tries to buy all the world’s supply of a scarce asset, the more they buy, the higher the price goes.”
Bitcoin defends itself through economics — the more you chase it, the faster it runs.

7️⃣ “It might make sense just to get some in case it catches on.”
The original "Get off zero." Even Satoshi hinted at FOMO.

8️⃣ “Bitcoins have no dividend or potential future dividend, therefore not like a stock. More like a collectible or commodity.”
Bitcoin isn’t a business. It’s digital gold.

9️⃣ “I’m sure that in 20 years there will either be very large transaction volume or no volume.”
All or nothing. With Bitcoin, there is no in-between.

🔟 “Writing a description for this thing for general audiences is bloody hard. There’s nothing to relate it to.”
Bitcoin was unlike anything before it — and it still is.

Satoshi's code launched a network, but their words ignited a movement.
