It took 15 years of “failure” to build Bitcoin. You’re not behind. You’re exactly where you need to be.
1989: DigiCash. Dead by 1998.
1997: Hashcash. Not money.
1998: B-money. Never launched.
1998: Bit gold. Almost there.
Cypherpunks chased the impossible for 15 years…money no government controls, no corporation censors, no authority corrupts.
They kept building through every failure.
October 31, 2008. Satoshi didn’t invent anything new. Satoshi synthesized 15 years of “failures” into one breakthrough. The double spend problem, solved. Math. Code. Incentives.
Your setbacks aren’t stopping you. They’re teaching you.
The timeline is longer than you think. The answer is closer than it feels.
Keep building. The world needs what you’re working on.
