$BTC LEGENDARY: 17 Years Ago, One Anonymous Post Changed Money Forever
Seventeen years ago today, a shadowy figure using the name Satoshi Nakamoto flipped the global financial system on its head by launching Bitcoin. No VC backing. No marketing. No permission. Just code, conviction, and a whitepaper that questioned everything we thought we knew about money.
What started as an experiment between cypherpunks became a trillion-dollar network, survived multiple “deaths,” and outlived every critic who said it was going to zero. Banks laughed. Governments ignored it. Then they tried to stop it. Now they’re racing to adopt it.
And the most fascinating part?
Satoshi disappeared — leaving behind no founder risk, no central authority, and no one to arrest or pressure.
Bitcoin wasn’t just launched.
It was released into the wild.
17 years later, the question isn’t if it mattered.
It’s how much further this experiment still has to run.
