Happy 17th Birthday, Bitcoin

Published by
Sohrab Khawas

Bitcoin turns 17 today, marking the day Satoshi Nakamoto mined the first-ever block on January 3, 2009. This moment started the Bitcoin ledger, a record that remains permanent and open for anyone to verify. What began as a single block has grown into a worldwide financial network, reshaping ideas around money, trust, and independence. Seventeen years later, Bitcoin is no longer an experiment; it’s a movement, and its story is still unfolding.
