Bitcoin is 17 years old today.



• First decentralized money to actually work
• Fixed the double-spend problem without trust
• Enforced absolute scarcity (21M, no exceptions)
• Ran nonstop for 17 years with no central control
• Became the most secure computer network on Earth
• Survived bans, crashes, forks, and nonstop attacks
• Gave anyone self-custody and permissionless savings
• Forced banks, funds, and governments to pay attention
• Valued the 8th largest asset globally, with $1.8T valuation

17 years in, Bitcoin is already historic. And still small compared to what it aims to replace.
