Welcome to The Bitcoin Layer, where we bring you research, analysis, and education for all things bitcoin and macro. In this episode, Nik is joined by Benobi, a Bitcoin researcher. Ben helps us understand the latest Satoshi Nakamoto emails, including why we have access to these communications for the first time, what we can conclude about Satoshi’s identity, and why Ben believes there is powerful evidence Satoshi was a single person. Instead of trying to uncover the exact person behind Satoshi Nakamoto, this episode instead takes an intense look at the earliest days of Bitcoin.
