I'm still new in Bitcoin, and I'm learning slowly every day. But I keep asking myself some deep questions:
Who is Satoshi Nakamoto really?
Where did he (or they) get the idea to create Bitcoin?
Who was the first person to understand and adopt Bitcoin, and how did they know about it so early?
Why is it that even until now, no one can control or centralize Bitcoin?
Iโ€™m from Malawi ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ผ, and here I see how powerful Bitcoin can be for freedom and financial hope. But I also want to understand the roots, the history, and why Bitcoin is so strong against control.
If you have answers, stories, links, or anything to help me understand, I will be thankful ๐Ÿ™ I believe learning the past will help us grow Bitcoin in the future ๐ŸŒ

If you want to learn about Bitcoin, none of the questions you asked really matter โ€” not even if we knew the answers.
Focus on how it works, on consensus, application and adoption. The rest is just curiosity โ€” donโ€™t waste your time on that.
P.S.: using hashtags and so many emojis makes me think youโ€™re just here trying to farm sats.

These are questions that can't be answered, at least for now. The mystery behind the creation of bitcoin is one thing that makes me so intrigued. I'm happy there isn't a known leader that can be manipulated. I can't think of any other modern computer technology that we have no idea who created it. Bitcoin is both logical as well as religious. A very interesting combination. I'm hopeful that bitcoin will truly change the world in the years to come!

Thereโ€™s nothing religious about Bitcoin.

What if over the years it will surface that Satoshi is in fact NSA as some are saying these days?

My understanding is that Bitcoin is the culmination of the evolution of ideas in the quest for digital money without the use of a centralized monitoring entity. Satoshi overcame the the last hurdle of this quest by solving the double-spend problem and introduced it in his whitepaper titled "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System". Please correct me where necessary.

Many billions of words have been written on this subject, pre Bitcoin history is littered with names like Zsabo Chaum Finney.
Personally I find it almost unexplainable how Satoshi was able to walk away from Bitcoin.
There are forces in this reality we cannot explain and for me Satoshi has ascended to that realm
