🎉 Happy Anniversary, Bitcoin! 🎉 Today marks another year since the release of Satoshi Nakamoto’s groundbreaking white paper. 📜 Initially envisioned as a “peer-to-peer electronic cash system,” Bitcoin has grown beyond its early aspirations, becoming a global financial movement. 🌍 🍕 Did you know? On May 22, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz made history by purchasing two pizzas for 10,000 BTC, marking the first real-world transaction using Bitcoin. This event is now celebrated annually as Bitcoin Pizza Day, highlighting the cryptocurrency’s journey from a novel concept to a widely recognized asset. 🌐 Beyond investment, Bitcoin’s technology—blockchain—is reshaping sectors from finance to healthcare, providing secure, transparent systems and empowering people in regions with limited banking access. As we celebrate Bitcoin’s journey, it’s fascinating to imagine what lies ahead. 💭 Will we see it become a staple in global economies? Only time will tell, but the momentum is undeniable. 📈 Here’s to a future where financial freedom is within reach for everyone. #Bitcoin #Blockchain #Innovation #Finance

We couldn’t end the day without honoring the anniversary of the #Bitcoin whitepaper 🩵 16 years ago, the Bitcoin whitepaper introduced a revolutionary vision and system of financial sovereignty and self-determination through decentralization. Today at Metis, we're building upon these foundational principles. While Bitcoin gave us decentralized assets, our Decentralized Sequencer and Layer 2 infrastructure build on this concept to enable truly decentralized applications, services, and systems. As we celebrate Bitcoin's legacy of innovation and liberation, we recognize our responsibility to uphold these principles of decentralization, self-determination, and user empowerment in Layer 2 scaling solutions. Thank you, Satoshi, for paving the way.

🎉 Happy Sweet 16 to Bitcoin! 🎉 On October 31, 2008, the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto introduced the world to a groundbreaking idea through the release of the Bitcoin white paper. Just a few months later, on January 3, 2009, the genesis block was mined, marking the birth of the Bitcoin network. Since then, Bitcoin has evolved from a niche concept into a global phenomenon 🌍, revolutionizing the way we think about money, decentralization, and financial autonomy 💸. Bitcoin’s journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. For instance, a $10,000 acquisition in 2014 would be worth over $1 million today 📈. With less than 10 years remaining until 99% of all Bitcoin is mined into circulation, the window of opportunity to accumulate this scarce asset is closing as more people recognize its value and limited supply ⏳. Bitcoin’s resilience 💪 through challenges and its revolutionary blockchain technology have inspired countless innovations, shaping the future of technology and finance 🚀. As Bitcoin celebrates its 16th birthday, it’s a great time to reflect on its past achievements and look toward its potential to catalyze further change in the global financial landscape 🌟.

January 12, 2009: 16 years ago…the first #Bitcoin transaction: #SatoshiNakamoto sends 10 $BTC to Hal Finney (RIP 🙏) I did not read the white paper until 2011 (was in London as a FX derivatives banker, occupied dealing with the financial crisis of 2008/09) but once I understood what the tech could do…and if it worked (and it did), it forever changed the way I looked at our exisitng financial infrastructure and systems Many of us got into this space in the first place to build better resilient, efficient and transparent financial infrastructure… Over the years I have learned to appreciate #blockchain utility applies to many industries and applications. We have come a long way since the early days…for good and for bad…hopeful 2025 brings us the scaling, standardization, and utility that many of us hoped would be next generation infrastructure Thank you to Global Blockchain Business Council (GBBC) team, members, ambassadors, and partners who are changing the world 🌎, bit by bit every day 🙏
