A place for talking about the Ethereum Virtual Machine on Farcaster.

#underratedEVMFact 
Actually bitcoin, but whatever, 
A consensus mechanism was what was missing for like a couple of decades starting in the 80s that finally completed the blockchain mechanism. Most of the other pieces were already there.
The main goal there was Byzantine fault tolerance.

"Officers! Check if this is the man who they call Satoshi, he seems to know a lot about his inner mind"

What was missing in the 80s was the drive. They thought it would be cool to have, not neeed to have. Satoshi was so fed up with the bank bailouts during the 2008 crisis that he built a new financial system out of rage

which was solved using pieces already there

we invented bitcoin a lot of time ago, just took time to realise it
