Bitcoin turned 17 today. Two decades might seem like yesterday in tech terms, but Satoshi Nakamoto's creation has fundamentally reshaped how we think about money and trust. On this date 17 years ago, the Bitcoin network officially went live—a watershed moment that proved decentralized digital currency wasn't just theory, it actually worked. From those early days of mining on personal computers to becoming a multi-trillion-dollar asset class, Bitcoin's journey reflects the maturation of Web3 itself. Every transaction processed, every block validated, every holder who believed in the vision—they're all part of this ongoing story. Whether you're a long-time believer or just discovering Bitcoin, today's a good moment to appreciate the technology that started it all.
