"UNILATERAL CONTRACT"
MAY 2008
People think CSW was bullshitting, and that he only came up with this concept or unilateral contracts on the fly—recently— to react to attackers…

If that were true, he wouldn't have been writing BORING blog posts about GPL and FL licenses and contracts for open source.
the guy was debating (with himself) types of CONTRACTS and LICENSES for BitCoin in May 2008 before some of his detractors got their first ball-hairs.
But yeah, tell the Satoshi about how BitCoin works due to some half-baked miner who doesn't relay the transactions or do any work to prove.
Highly recommend reading ALL his blog posts from this era. I did, in 2018 and 2019. In fact, read everything he's written. Then one can begin to understand and comment intelligently, even criticize with some half-decent degree of relevance.
