Happy birthday, Bitcoin.

14 years ago, your Genesis Block was mined. I didn’t know you then, so I could not benefit from the legendary faucet that paid out sats that are worth an astronomical cost these days. Neither could I forge fame (or notoriety) for myself by using your sats to buy pizza.

I still don’t know you very well, but find you immensely fascinating. I have more or less understood the ins and outs of the Lightning Network, but recently, I learnt about the Liquid Network. And how the Taproot update is a different feature from Taro. That the ex-CEO of Twitter donated BTC to facilitate the development of Nostr.

Does all this make your head spin? It does for me tbh. Anyway, one step at a time. It will all make sense for me one day!

Happy birthday BTC
