Satoshi's White Paper was built on earlier efforts like Digicash. It's a tour de force demonstration of the power of big numbers. As an example, you can generate a random 50-digit string and the odds of it duplicating an existing one is 1/three multiverses.

Bitcoin is possibly one or two algorithmic breakthroughs from a viable crypto. münecat has convinced me, and not just of green-screening in front of a green backdrop.

I, for one, would like to be around in 2040 to see how it turns out.
