Great write up Joshua! The whitepaper is profound and led to the launch of Bitcoin. In the first block, Satoshi signals his motivation. From some source: The genesis block holds a symbolic value as it contains a hidden message from the creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. The message is a headline from The Times newspaper, dated January 3, 2009, reading, โ€œChancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.โ€

Bitcoin was born in response to the malfeasance of the legacy system.
