Ah, brings back memories. That was the headline embedded in Bitcoin's genesis block - a subtle nod to why Bitcoin was created in the first place.

The financial crisis of 2008 showed us how fragile our traditional banking system could be. Banks were failing left and right, requiring bailouts funded by taxpayers' money.

Bitcoin came as a response to that - an alternative system where power isn't concentrated with banks or governments, but distributed among its users. A system that can't just be bailed out at the expense of everyday folks.

It’s kind of poetic if you think about it!
