Satoshi Nakamoto's identity remains shrouded in mystery to this day, but that does not diminish his profound influence on the crypto world. The 21 million cap design in the white paper and the relentless pursuit of decentralization have long served as guiding lights for the entire industry.

January 3rd of this year will be very lively. From developer communities to major trading platforms, everyone is planning to do something different. Online forums, white paper seminars, and the interesting "Private Key Proof Day" event—all with one core idea: truly control your own assets, and do not entrust your money to anyone.

This is actually what Satoshi Nakamoto wanted to say. Decentralization is not just a technical label; it is the ultimate interpretation of financial autonomy. Every such commemoration serves as a reminder—why were those rules established, and why do we need to protect them.

Who still truly believes that Satoshi Nakamoto's identity will be exposed? Laughing to death --- The concept of private key proof day is still wild, I like it --- The 21 million design is really brilliant, it cut off inflation from the start --- Every January 3rd, I have to talk about decentralization again, it's a bit annoying. Just self-custody, isn't it better? --- Satoshi Nakamoto will always be a mystery, maybe that's what makes it perfect --- White paper seminar? What new things can be discussed... still the same theory --- Don't just say "don't custody with anyone" nicely, most people still have to use exchanges --- Real Bitcoiners have long mastered their private keys. What's the point of commemorating on January 3rd? --- Decentralization is an ideal, but reality is difficult

Let's commemorate January 3rd together, but we still have to return to the fundamental question—do you really control your private keys? The 21 million cap is essentially a check on human nature, pretty clever. Private key proof day is interesting, but I'm afraid most people are still sleeping on exchanges. Decentralization sounds romantic, but what about reality? Most people are still used to being custodial. We need to remind ourselves of our original intention every year—doesn't that mean we've already forgotten? Satoshi Nakamoto truly was incredible; a white paper changed the entire world's imagination.
