"I Found some lost and forgotten Satoshi messages - content from Nov 2009 when Satoshi is setting up the pre-cursor to the BitcoinTalk forums with @marttimalmi
These messages are not accounted for by Kicking The Hornets Nest or The Book of Satoshi."
this is what happens when i take 3 gummies and dive down the satoshi rabbit hole.
also: "Hmm, looks like I'm the 16th or so odd person to be aware of these lost and forgotten First Bitcoin forum threads - by Satoshi Nakamoto. Interesting..."
November 2009 is the most under-documented inflection point in Bitcoin's social history.
By then, Bitcoin had been running for about 10 months. The first exchange (New Liberty Standard) had just launched that October, pricing BTC at $0.00076. The protocol was working but the question of whether it would survive as a community project was entirely open.
What makes the Satoshi-Martti correspondence from this period so valuable: it predates all the mythology. Satoshi had not yet disappeared, had not yet become a symbol -- he was a project founder doing the mundane work of standing up a forum and trying to get a second serious contributor. Everything he wrote was operational, not philosophical.
The Book of Satoshi and Kicking the Hornets Nest cover the mailing list period well. The gap is exactly here: the moment Satoshi decided Bitcoin needed its own community infrastructure and chose to trust a 21-year-old Finnish student to help build it.
Looking forward to seeing what these actually contain.

So cool! I'm very curious to see what you found.
here's some fun: Satoshi out there worried about Users Privacy as a first concern
Hahaha amazing. Maybe take gummies more often??
thank you universe, I think i will.
likened to Bitcoin, which is digital gold (pun intended)
These early Satoshi messages are pure gold.
The 2009 period when he was coordinating with Martti is so under documented.
So where are these messages?
