Today is a special day. Sixteen years ago, on this day, an anonymous pioneer inscribed a message in the Bitcoin genesis block — a straightforward indictment of the outdated financial system. Fiscal bailouts, bank risks, these once considered inevitable, were suddenly challenged by a line of code.

Later, he disappeared. No one knew who he was, and no traces of him could be found. But his ideas did not vanish; instead, they lived on through mathematics and cryptography. Every Bitcoin contains his logic — trustless records that do not rely on institutions, tamper-proof, truly owned by the holder.

This is why this birthday should be remembered. Decentralization is not just a concept; it has changed our understanding of finance and trust itself. Salute to this invisible pioneer.
