The creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, once said he didn't have time to 'convince' non-believers: why is the CEO of Coinbase talking about it after 15 years?

Brian Armstrong, CEO of the cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, recalled on Tuesday a famous quote from 15 years ago by the creator of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), Satoshi Nakamoto.

What happened: Armstrong highlighted a quote from the pseudonymous creator in a discussion on the Bitcointalk forum on July 30, 2010.

Satoshi was responding to questions about Bitcoin's ability to handle a large number of transactions and users, with specific concerns about the 10 minutes required to create a block.

'If you don't believe me or don't understand, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry,' Satoshi replied.

Commenting on this quote, Armstrong noted that after some time, 'hundreds of millions of people' now understand Bitcoin, thus highlighting the progress made over the years in the knowledge and use of the leading cryptocurrency.

When Satoshi made this remark, Bitcoin was trading at $0.06374 per unit. Today, it is 185102000% higher. #BTC
