Most of bitcoin's 'building blocks'/concepts come from the cypherpunks : hash-cash, reusable-proof-of-work, b-money. So the claim "created as a byproduct of this mailing list" is accurate (although you could argue this isn't the original cpunks list). at any rate, your claim "byproduct of the cryptography list" is flatly wrong. > > It was in no way a byproduct the cypherpunks list. ....see above > It was/is also a piece of scam which doesn't scale enough to be a > currency, same problem monero has, except monero scales even less. You might also want to specify in which way bitcoin is a scam, and more importantly compare its scam properties to the scam properties of your government's fake money. > which wastes carbon-emitting resources, wow that's such an original and unexpected...lie.
