Now to one of the coolest things I found, just in terms of pop culture synchronicities...
Dave Bayer, cited in the Bitcoin Whitepaper, helped make a Hollywood blockbuster visually appealing for mathematicians while simultaneously working on cryptographic systems that would later influence Bitcoin.
Fun fact: If you watch A Beautiful Mind, all the equations that Russell Crowe writes on chalkboards throughout the movie?
That’s Dave Bayer’s actual handwriting.
Bayer personally wrote out and designed the math that appears on-screen.
The mathematician John Nash, whom the movie is about, has been posited to be Satoshi by some (obviously this is incorrect, but a novel serendipity).
