Opening claims from the host

1

To best understand the history of bitcoin and blockchain, we need to hear from bitcoin & blockchain historians who were present during the time of Satoshi Nakamoto, or not long after he departed.

2

People who discovered and used bitcoin before 2013 understand it fundamentally differently from those who entered during later speculative cycles and rarely use it for transactions.

3

Early bitcoin users (2009–2016) understood bitcoin primarily as a social and monetary revolution, while newer users mostly understand it as a financial asset.
