Happy Bitcoin Day! Satoshi’s plan was that the poker players would push the first domino, as there was a huge demand for a payment solution at the time, with the UIGEA law being finalized. In late 2008, he showed an early version to a few interested guys and asked if they would use it to bypass banks for deposits and withdrawals on online poker sites. Unfortunately, the payment method was too complex for the community, so it didn’t catch on, even though Satoshi delivered Bitcoin on the promised timeline. What do you think—could the 2008 financial crisis or the 2006 UIGEA regulation have inspired Satoshi?

The most powerful nation on earth has a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and intends to accumulate more. This is a new chapter for #Bitcoin. Nation-state adoption is here. The whole world will compete to own as much of the 21M Bitcoin as they can. In the wake of all this thrilling news, it’s worth a moment to reflect. Consider this: you were right. Remember when you first got interested in Bitcoin? You got more and more excited, thinking this could be big. This could change the world. Your friends and family thought you were crazy. They pitied you. You had lost your mind; fallen for an internet scam, a Ponzi scheme. They lost respect for you. But you trusted yourself. You defied the herd. You put your financial future on your back. You risked your whole world. Your family's future. For this idea. The road has been harder than you expected. The crashes, the emotional rollercoaster, but you stayed true to reason and kept stacking. And now look what’s unfolding. You were right. And the herd is slowly realizing they’ve been on the wrong course. They’re coming to follow you. You risked everything. But it wasn’t a gamble. You just saw what they did not, could not. Bitcoin is winning. You are winning. And your family is winning - because of you. They may not appreciate it yet. But they will. Until then, I know what you risked and what it took - and I’m fucking proud of you. You've earned a moment of victory. What will you do to enjoy this weekend? I quoted from him: 👇👇👇
