Initially, Bitcoin was but a small pond, hidden among the rocks of the digital landscape—a humble, almost unnoticed spring of code and ideas. Yet, over time, this pond began to grow, fed by streams of belief, innovation, and unrelenting ambition. Its waters deepened, reflecting the dreams of millions, while its shores expanded, swallowing the doubts of skeptics. Today, it is a mighty lake, its ripples whispering of the future, but this is only the beginning. When it transforms into an ocean—vast, unstoppable, and tempestuous—it will flood everything in its path, rewriting the boundaries of the financial world and drowning the old systems in its relentless tidal surge.

Pick your battles.
