On this very day 17 years ago, the Bitcoin network went live.



Satoshi Nakamoto flipped the switch on something radical — a monetary system built without gatekeepers, without borders, without anyone asking permission.

What began as an experiment in code has evolved into:

• A parallel financial system that operates 24/7
• A store of value independent of government policy and currency debasement
• A movement that reshaped how we think about money and trust

From a whitepaper to a multi-trillion dollar ecosystem. The network that started as a curiosity now powers billions in daily transactions across the globe.

It's been 17 years, still touting borderless and permissionless, but in reality, exchanges still require KYC and freeze accounts. Isn't this just old wine in new bottles?

It's been 17 years. From a crazy idea to what it is now, it's really unbelievable.

After 17 years, people are still using this rhetoric. Does anyone really believe in the no permission approach?

It's been 17 years, from zero to one trillion... I need to take out Excel and recalculate this ROI curve.
