Today I dreamed that Satoshi was a Radiohead fan so he was inspired by Radiohead move in 2007 to create Bitcoin.

If you did not know Radiohead was the firts band in 2007 to:

Thom Yorke and his cronies decided to take the bull by the horns and be themselves filtering their own album, "In Rainbows", by surprise in internet!

Not only that: it became the first band that used the system "pay what you want" -including the option 0 euros / dollars- and the strategy was more than fruitful:

they collected important figures and, even, months later , when the cd was published in physical format, it sold more than three million copies.

That was glimpsed as one: exhibition of power and a manifest of artistic freedom after the group left the multinational EMI.

Radiohead also presented as champions of a new social contract, a direct relationship between artist and public without having to resort to intermediaries.

Finally ... and as a result of my dream it makes sense, well it's absolutely obvious and I do not know how anyone has seen it before, ... that...
Thom Yorke is Satoshi Nakamoto ... I'll leave it there ... xD

Enjoy this masterpiece!

Finally someone finds out!!!

thank you it was necessary an important correction to listen good music and see clearly! LOL

What an album!
I was so amazed by their move back then. I remember paying almost the full price of an album to downloaded just because!
Respect

Yes! I worked in marketing at the time and it was one of the boldest and smartest marketing moves at that time (and it paid out!) So cool to find Radiohead fans here on Steemit!

Indeed, all the famous musicians were in guard "how to prevent their new albums from filtering on the Web before its official publication."

I got all radiohead records but O bitcoin!

here we go! 0.04 SBD so soon can buy some satoshis ;)

Good post!
I am an unconditional fan of Radiohead as well
