Ask Satoshi

Query the whitepaper, forum posts, and private emails.

Satoshi Nakamoto left behind a 9-page whitepaper (2008), ~539 bitcointalk forum posts (2009–2010), cryptography mailing list emails, software release notes, and 294 private emails to 9 correspondents (Martti Malmi, Mike Hearn, Hal Finney, Adam Back, Wei Dai, and others) — later made public through court proceedings and recipient disclosures. This tool lets you query all of it — with sourced answers grounded in what Satoshi actually wrote. Read the blog post.

Don't ask big-tech chatbots about Bitcoin — they train on your questions and shape your understanding to fit their interests. This is private, uncensored, and costs 21 sats per question.
