What if Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, built more than just a decentralized currency? In Bitcoin’s earliest code—versions 0.1.0 to 0.1.3—there’s a hidden poker game. In this episode, we dig deep into Satoshi’s original 2008 code and explore the mysterious poker references buried within. Was it just an experiment, or part of a bigger strategy to incentivize node operators and early adopters? Join me as we analyze the comments, coding style, and clues Satoshi left behind—and begin our journey to reimagine and modernize Bitcoin Poker for 2025.
