I honestly thought bitcoin was older than that. I distinctly remember having a conversation about it, but I thought sure it was closer to the 2002 time frame or something like that. It sucks getting old. I can't keep everything straight anymore. I was actually just having dinner with my wife and some of our friends the other day and we got talking about crypto again. I have brought it up to them before, but given current world things like you mentioned, they are much more open to it now. I had to lie to them and tell them that their traditional investments will still be safe. I don't think we really know the answer to that... They created a Coinbase account and I am going to get them started investing in crypto though...

Hmmm. You knew about it 5 years before the White Paper.
Maybe you are Satoshi.

Yeah, that is why I am saying my timeline must be messed up somewhere. I'd have to go back and look at my resume to see where I was working and when. I know the location I remember having the conversation, but I don't remember the timeframe. If it was when I think it was, it was pure chance that I even heard it. Bad luck that I didn't pay more attention to it!

There were other forms of digital cash before BTC, but it's the first one that got it right, or right enough, at the right time.
Yeah, like I said, I think I might just have my work timeline wrong. It could have been the earlier ideas about it too. I just am pretty sure I remember him saying Bitcoin.
