📜 Today marks 17 years since October 31, 2008, when Satoshi Nakamoto published the document that initiated the revolution in the world of finance — the Bitcoin whitepaper.

This moment is considered the birth of the concept of digital currency operating without a central institution, based on cryptography and trust in the network rather than people. 🌐⚡

🧠 Fun fact: Although the document was released in the fall of 2008, the Bitcoin network launched only on January 3, 2009, with the mining of the first block — the so-called Genesis Block. From this point, a new era of economics and technology began.
