@FEichinger I more meant the latter as not being potential to equal the former, or more accurately distinct from it, so if it's the former than it is the former regardless of its capability to satisfy the latter.

Q: How does Bitcoin "inventor" makes money?

PandastewOther than by having a non existent digital code become currency and riding on seeing the previously no-value cash become more valuable, how does the Inventors of Bitcoin profit from developing Bitcoin in the first place?

A: How does Bitcoin "inventor" makes money?

LohorisIf they were wise, they would have mined a lot of them in the early times, and could easily sell now some for hard currencies. Currently there is the Bitcoin Foundation who pays Gavin, who is the head developer.

He says, non-sarcastically, as if that was a good thing in the greater scheme.
