Hello,
The first genesis block of Bitcoin was created the 3rd of January 2009. Today it's the Bitcoin Birthday, Satoshi gifted Bitcoin to the world and a new form of money was created. This new form of money has the properties of the hardest money on earth, designed and engineered to free the world and empower individuals. I can't thank Satoshi enough, a true genius.
In my opinion Bitcoin is the freedom weapon we needed, it came right after the 2008 crisis and it spread slowly to all the globe. The first years were for the true cypherpunks. For those living under a rock the definition is the following:
A cypherpunk is one who advocates the widespread use of strong cryptography and privacy-enhancing technologies as a means of effecting social and political change
After that some libertarians joined, with the belief that this can change the world. And how right they were! Thank you all of the early adopters such as Andreas Antonopoulos or Erik Voorhees that helped spread the idea behind Bitcoin. They were really intelligent to understand what Bitcoin can do to society so early!
Here we are again, with Bitcoin trading at $98,000 at the time of writing this. Very very close to the $100,000 mark again. In my opinion we will be above the 100k mark really soon and we will start exploring new heights!
Thank you all for sharing this journey!
