Gavin Andresen Doesn’t Have Answers to These Bitcoin Questions

NEW YORK (InsideBItcoins) – In a recent talk at DevCore Boston 2015, Bitcoin Foundation Chief Scientist Gavin Andresen focused on certain questions related to bitcoin that even Satoshi didn’t have the answers to. He pointed out that it was unlikely that Satoshi was a sophisticated cryptographer due to certain design decisions he made during the original development of Bitcoin Core, and he even described his ‘proudest moment in bitcoin’ as the time he was able to solve the ‘penny flooding’ problem after Satoshi couldn’t come up with a proper solution.
At the end of the talk, Andresen moved the focus of his presentation from what Satoshi didn’t know during the early days of bitcoin to what he himself doesn’t know about bitcoin’s future right now. The short list was a glimpse into the kinds of bitcoin-related questions that the bitcoin core developer likes to think about.
