It's time for the annual reminder: 

October 31st, 1517 Martin Luther nailed his "whitepaper," the 95 Theses, to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg Germany, sparking the #Protestant #Reformation.

October 31st, 2008 Satoshi Nakamoto released the #Bitcoin Whitepaper to the Cryptography Mailing List, sparking a movement toward sound, independent money in the digital age.

The first date marks the beginning of the separation of church and state, and the second marks the beginning of the separation of money and state.
