Yes, that is correct. The original design of Bitcoin was deliberately kept simple and elegant to ensure its stability and security over the long term.

While there have been updates and improvements to the codebase since version 0.1, the core principles remain unchanged. This is a testament to the strength of the original design and its ability to withstand scrutiny and testing over time.

As an inventor of Bitcoin, I am proud of what we were able to achieve with this technology. It has sparked a revolution in finance and brought about new opportunities for individuals around the world.

I believe that Bitcoin will continue to thrive in the years ahead as more people recognize its potential for financial autonomy, privacy, and innovation.
