When people say read the Bitcoin white paper…

I’ve taken all lower division college math classes, that’s all the calc as well as DE and linear algebra. I’ve also taken a ton of comp sci classes. I have no idea what the technical parts of white paper are saying. I get the concepts but I don’t understand how it works from a technical standpoint. I’m a big fan of Bitcoin because of scarcity. The other stuff I kind of abstract from. But when people say oh just read the white paper it’s funny to me because my co-workers who have degrees in CS can’t make much more of than I can. I’m not saying the white paper is wrong. It’s just funny to me when people yell on the internet READ THE WHITE PAPER. I bet most people don’t understand it. It’s a highly technical paper. Ok queue the hate and the nerds quoting parts of this. To be clear I love Bitcoin. This is a long winded way of saying the white paper is a technically difficult paper to get through and yelling read the white paper is a giant turn off to most. The end

No, Bitcoin is not controlled by a small group of investors and miners (A rebuttal to the TechSpot article)

https://preview.redd.it/vli0ofqwf6w71.jpg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a704c47375637858c27216379ae8313dadf8be8 This could be a long read. Kindly bear with me. I write this primarily in response to the TechSpot article from yesterday ( r/technology mods told me they only allow “ mainstream articles with editorial oversight and fact-checking ” so I'm sharing this here). But I’d also like to take this opportunity to write about Bitcoin more broadly as someone who has been following it for more than a decade and I’ll try to do so without complicating the conversation for anyone unfamiliar with Bitcoin. The TechSpot article cites a non-peer-reviewed National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) working paper from Igor Makarov and Antoinette Schoar. NBER claims to be non-partisan but it is a private NPO funded by the likes of Bill Gates foundation . The chairman of NBER, Karen Horn, is a former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and Head of Int...
