Finney didn't invent the email as we know it. They were after "remailer" which is the center of the entire cypherpunk scene. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_remailer Adam Back, Finney, Peter Todd and Sassaman were after creating a proper anonymous server that they could use to send anonymous messages between themselves. You can imagine how the authorities were after them once they published the first version of remailer at the Defcon. One of them took the technology behind remailer and went a step ahead creating a digital currency. I am pretty sure that being the group of hackers that they are, nobody is going to claim the authority of anything, they just know who they are and they won't publish anything. So the beginning of everything was to find a real anonymous identity on internet, using the work that Finney did about the "proof of work". https://fennetic.net/irc/finney.org/~hal/why_rem1.html
The ones that are using it for speculation don't care who the author was, which are the majority. As soon as they see their dollars going up they are happy. You are probably in that group. Even Saylor has started saying that the battle for making it a digital currency is lost and should be considered real state. Once in his lifetime that wanker has said something that makes sense.You can see that their path is going very far away from what Bitcoin was in the first place. So the initial point why Bitcoin was created has turned into something completely different. Speculation, exchanges and its link to the dollar is complete nonsense to whoever believes in the cypherpunk community. It is just people like me that want to know who did it, so I can learn from them. That is all. I do care about the creator, if I can follow someone like that I am sure that I will find something interesting to look at. Yeah, your analogy sucks. But that is expected. I always think what those hackers that started it would think about the KYC behind crypto these days. Governments have taken control of it entirely, something completely hilarious for people that work really hard to be anonymous.
People love to put words in my mouth. It's how you know your trolling has failed. I've stated since I DCA-ed under $400 that it's not FX. It utterly fails for POS-utility. "The ones that are using it for speculation don't care" so start a thread about that. I started this before I had a chance to link the story which was an update from the previous (linked by me, here). Anyway, this thread no longer serves any purpose (if ever). The guy who invented email, you idiot, would likely have sent the first email to an address he created as nobody had email. Yeah, had to look up Ray Tomlinson. Arguing solo vs team is an IQ test.
You've done worse. Hard to fathom but true: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...il-from-tastytrade.379280/page-3#post-5958001
