Seventeen years have passed since that genesis moment—Bitcoin entered the world and changed everything.

Today marks another year of ₿'s journey through markets, skeptics, and believers alike. From a whitepaper to billions in global adoption, this network keeps running, immutable and unstoppable.

Happy birthday to the coin that started it all. 🪙

It's quite nostalgic to think about, seventeen years now. From the white paper to this scale today, it feels like time just flew by in the blink of an eye. Those who are still here are still here, and those who are gone are truly gone. BTC is that one buddy who has always been alive. This birthday must be celebrated, after all, without it, none of this would have happened.

Uh... 17 years? It feels like I just heard about Bitcoin yesterday, and now it's already an old relic.

It's been 17 years and you're still here, truly incredible. --- Since the white paper until now, I've never seen something so resistant to manipulation. --- Every year around this time, people predict doom, but what’s the result... still alive. --- Whether you believe it or not, this thing has indeed changed something. --- Immutable unstoppable... That's right, it's just this tough. --- People from the white paper era are probably rich now, haha.

After 17 years, still so resilient—got to give credit. From a single sheet of paper to its current size, it has truly changed something.

It's been 17 years and it's still here, not easy. --- From the white paper to now... it really changed everything. --- Happy birthday Bitcoin, keep holding on. --- How many skeptics have I run past, and I'm still alive. --- What cannot be stopped is just that strong. --- The market fluctuates, but it's still there. --- Billions in adoption rate, that’s the answer. --- Immutable, unstoppable—that's the key.

seventeen years and the dark forest still hasn't been cleaned up... pretty wild that we're celebrating immutability while MEV extraction gets more sophisticated every cycle. but yeah, happy birthday to the og network i guess

It's been 17 years and it's still here, I have to say it has some substance.
