🎂 Bitcoin is turning 17 years old. This is more than just a date
On January 3, 2009, the first Bitcoin block — the Genesis Block — was created. This marked the beginning of a network that changed the perception of money, trust, and financial systems.
Satoshi Nakamoto received the first 50 BTC,
but the main "reward" was not this block —
but the idea that has survived 17 years without a leader, an office, a board of directors, and a PR department.
During this time, Bitcoin:
• experienced exchange crashes and panic cycles;
• withstood attacks, bans, criticism, and the "Bitcoin is dead" narrative hundreds of times;
• became an infrastructure, not just an asset.
📌 And the most important:
Bitcoin proved that a decentralized system can operate more stably than centralized systems.
17 years is not just a "birthday."
It's a reminder:
• why we are here,
• why decentralization is important,
• and why sometimes "slow but steady" is exactly what the world needs.
