January 3rd is Bitcoin's birthday.

17 years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto mined the genesis block of Bitcoin, with a reward of only 50 BTC.

At that time, there was no price, no exchanges, and no one even knew what this thing was for.

But he left a title from The Times in the block:

"The Chancellor is on the brink of a second bailout for banks."

This is not decoration, but context.

Bitcoin was born in an era when trust in the financial system collapsed.

17 years later,

BTC price stands at $90,000,

with a market value exceeding $1.8 trillion.

Many people only see how expensive it is now,

but forget that it started by saying "no" to something.

This is also why,

Bitcoin has lasted this long.#b t c$BTC
