Surely some sats will go to whoever solves this mystery: I just started reading this book on #innovation , How to Innovate by Aristotle (and other Greek authors, curated by Armand D’Angour). Great book so far, but what really surprised me was the “Praise” on the back cover, by a “Satoshi Nakamoto, cryptocurrency innovator”. …the book was published in 2021… …so either Satoshi is friends with the publisher and decided to come out of retirement to endorse this book, or the publisher (Princeton) is quite full of sh*t. #satoshi #nakamoto #bookstr Here is the book website that has the same “praise” quoting Satoshi:

What we can learn about fostering innovation and creative thinking from some of the most inventive people of all times—the ancient Greeks

2010 Oregon: legalize marijuana! 2020 Oregon: well that didn’t go as planned. Dispensaries become major part of local economy. Fentanyl and drugs crisis abound. Population leaves. City becomes a toxic dump. 2023 Oregon: legalize mushrooms! (Dates are approx., going off memory) Sigh… I used to be in the “legalize it” camp. I consider myself mostly-libertarian. But then I saw drugs destroy #Portland. I recognize the pharmaceutical difference between pot and “hard” drugs, and I support individual choice. But how can one say something is “good” when you’ve witnessed it’s destructive powers on a society. I go down Sandy Blvd and it is nothing but burnt out RVs and decay. The only prosperous businesses are head shops. #drugs #marijuana #weed #psilocybin #mushrooms #health #politics #society

Interesting note. @Rico in your opinion does this also hamper #Bitcoin adoption in EU? Obviously there are many tech-saavy Europeans who use or hodl Bitcoin, but I’m especially talking about government. They have less incentive to be Bitcoin friendly when their economy won’t benefit financially from mining. In contrast, in the US you have lots of industry lobbying government to be Bitcoin friendly.
