On January 3, 2009, at that moment, a figure codenamed "Satoshi Nakamoto" activated the first Bitcoin in the digital world. The genesis block was born — embedded within it was a news headline from The Times, about the banking system on the brink of collapse. This was no random act. It was a silent protest against the old financial order and a prophecy for the future.

Now, 17 years have quietly passed. This mysterious creator has long disappeared into the fog of cryptography, and their identity remains unknown to this day. But what they initiated? It has already changed the entire world.

The BTC network has never ceased operation, growing from an ambitious idea in a white paper into a global asset with a market capitalization of trillions of dollars. Every price fluctuation, every technological upgrade, continues to demonstrate what a "decentralization revolution" truly means.

Today, we commemorate not just the birth of a technology. It is a new financial imagination — about autonomy, about rebuilding trust, about fundamentally rewriting the relationship between humans and systems. Salute to the creator behind the scenes.

Satoshi Nakamoto's newspaper headline was truly brilliant, like planting a time bomb in the genesis block.

After 17 years, no one still knows who Satoshi Nakamoto is. This is the true master of invisibility, more formidable than any anonymous coin.

Satoshi Nakamoto is truly a master; after 17 years, no one has uncovered their identity. Now that's what you call a real hermit.

Really incredible. It's been 17 years, and Satoshi Nakamoto remains a mystery, but Bitcoin is still alive and well. --- As I always say, the title embedded in the genesis block was a prophecy. The banking system was truly on the brink back then. --- Tens of trillions in market value, from a piece of paper to changing the world—gotta admit, impressive. --- Every time I see Bitcoin's uninterrupted operation, I can't help but marvel. This is true autonomy, right? --- Satoshi Nakamoto is in hiding, but his creations are still running. That’s the most powerful existence.
