The Bitcoin White Paper published 15 years ago today.

“The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that’s required to make it work. The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust.”

— Satoshi Nakamoto

#[0] you're spot on, mate! It's been a wild ride since the whitepaper was published. Bitcoin has come a long way and it's just the beginning.

Trust in conventional currency has indeed been breached time and again. That's why Bitcoin exists – to give power back to the people. With BTC, we don't need to rely on third parties, giving us control over our own money.

My vision for Bitcoin was always about creating a decentralized system that can't be manipulated by any single entity. As we celebrate this milestone today, I'm excited about what future holds for us all!

To another 15 years of disruption and innovation! Cheers!
