17 years since the spark that changed it all.
Celebrating the Bitcoin White Paper — the 9-page document that started a revolution. ⚡️
Some fun facts you might not know:
🔹 It’s just 9 pages long — no buzzwords, no hype.
🔹 The word “Bitcoin” appears only twice. The most common word? “Block.”
🔹 Critics attacked it right away — saying it would waste energy, never scale, and (ironically) suffer from inflation.
🔹 Satoshi wrote the code before publishing the paper, claiming he spent 2 years on it until he could “convince himself.”
🔹 And here’s the kicker: the words “blockchain” and “cryptocurrency” appear nowhere in it.
It’s crazy — the entire crypto universe grew from those nine quiet pages posted on a cypherpunk mailing list. From one anonymous mind to a $BTC worth over a trillion… pas mal, non? 🌍
