Seventeen years have passed since the Bitcoin Genesis Block emerged and changed everything. What started as code became a movement—a real alternative to the centralized money systems we'd grown accustomed to. Satoshi's vision wasn't just about technology; it was about putting financial sovereignty back into people's hands. That first block laid the foundation for an entire ecosystem, inspiring countless innovations and believers along the way. From that January day to today, BTC has evolved from a cryptographic experiment into a recognized store of value and symbol of decentralization. Here's to the revolutionary spirit that started it all—and the journey that continues to unfold.

Wow, it's been 17 years. I really didn't expect to make it this far.

It has proven that the 17-year protocol stability test data is almost perfect, and the architecture design of the genesis block is simply genius... However, speaking of financial sovereignty, I am more curious about when cross-chain interoperability can be truly resolved?

It's been 17 years, a bit emotional... But only a few truly understand Satoshi Nakamoto's system.

It's been 17 years, and it's still the same people talking. Why haven't I gotten rich yet?
