Anyone ever just stop and think for a bit, about the fact that #Bitcoin fucking works?

Seriously appreciate it for a second from the view of those trying to think it up when this was literal science fiction. What an absolutely insane long shot. The very notion that practically a handful of nerdy anarchists & dissidents on the internet could create a global monetary network who’s rules would supersede governments across the planet… it’s almost idiotic it sounds so improbable.

And for everyone squealing about what the price did last week or how in 10 years we will have X problem or whatever… it’s easy to forget that it’s just there. That it’s working. That it’s half a trillion dollars worth. That it’s monetary policy hasn’t changed since block 0. And despite the ire of countless authoritarians… it persists.

What a wild fucking timeline.

From “The Clue Train Manifesto” of the 90s (A classic cypherpunk work), to now with Bitcoin and AI, the internet may just realise its potential.

Rules without rulers!
