17 years ago today, everything started here.
It was January 10, 2009. At that time, Bitcoin was worthless, but the wheels of history were turning.
Hal Finney tweeted two words: "Run Bitcoin." Short and simple, yet it became one of the earliest voices in the crypto world.
More importantly, Finney received Bitcoin directly transferred by Satoshi Nakamoto himself — this transaction became the first transfer record on the blockchain. A simple interaction between two people, but it opened the door to a new world.
Looking back at this tweet now, it feels somewhat magical. Something that was worth $0 back then has now evolved into a $2 trillion wave. From geek experiments to global assets, this revolution has lasted 17 years, but it seems to have just begun.
Those two words carry so many dreams and possibilities.
Who would have thought that two trillion dollars would come so easily?
The conversation between these two is more impressive than any funding announcement.
But to be honest, the real revolution has just begun, and there will definitely be another crazy 17 years.
