What Has Bitcoin Become 17 Years After Satoshi Nakamoto Published The Whitepaper?
Getting close to two decades after the Bitcoin Whitepaper was published by Satoshi Nakamoto, how much bearing does the document have at this point?
Today marks seventeen years since Satoshi Nakamoto's publication of the Bitcoin Whitepaper on the cryptography mailing list in 2008. Back then Bitcoin was nothing more than a proposal for a new niche technology, the latest in a long lineage of niche technologies created by the cypherpunks of the 1990s.
Bitcoin has gone through many massive transformations since that day 17 years ago. It went from a niche internet collectible, to a decentralized network powering illegal dark net markets, to a mainstream speculative investment for retail, to Wall Street and governments all over the world's favorite new asset class. We have all had front row seats to the first explosive global technological revolution to the internet, and it's been a wild ride.
