Bitcoin began as a whitepaper dream in a forum full of cypherpunks and now it’s the reason your Uber driver talks like a hedge fund manager.
It’s survived Silk Road scandals, Mt. Gox meltdowns, and more obituaries than Keith Richards. Once laughed off as “magic internet money,” it’s now fought over by billionaires in Patagonia vests. Wall Street went from mocking it to slapping “digital gold” on the label and calling it a portfolio hedge.
And through it all, Bitcoin just... kept halving. No marketing team. No CEO. Just a codebase and a fanbase with laser eyes and trust issues. Whether it’s the future of finance or a glorified spreadsheet with a cult following, one thing’s clear—Bitcoin never dies, it just reloads the block.
