A simple bot to disseminate the writings of Satoshi Nakamoto to a wider audience. Quotes are taken from The Quotable Satoshi, curated and indexed by the Satoshi Nakamoto Institute.

Quotes are posted as single tweets every 12 hours. Further, the bot will reply to users asking for "source". The bot will not post anything else. Some quotes are too long to fit a single tweet. If that is the case, sentences will be omitted until the quote is below 280 characters. The following quote

Transactions that are computationally impractical to reverse would protect sellers from fraud, and routine escrow mechanisms could easily be implemented to protect buyers.',
will be shortened to
