17 years ago today, the Genesis Block was mined. A quiet revolution began.

Since discovering Bitcoin, I've been fortunate to learn from brilliant minds who've shaped my understanding. On this anniversary, I want to express gratitude to those who've lit the path:

Technical understanding - For teaching me how this thing actually works. @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q...

Decentralisation - For showing me why distributed systems aren't just technically superior, they're morally necessary. @nprofile1q...

Money - For helping me see that money isn't what we've been told it is, and understanding its true nature changes everything. @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q...

Nostr - For building and believing in open protocols, proving that decentralised social media isn't just possible, it's inevitable. @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q...

Philosophy - For connecting the dots between individual sovereignty and why Bitcoin matters beyond the price. @nprofile1q...

The power of media - For demonstrating that narrative shapes reality, and controlling our own channels of communication is freedom itself. @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q...

Building a Bitcoin business - For proving it's possible to build circular economy businesses and contribute value to the ecosystem while earning a living. @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q...

Power of memes - For understanding that ideas spread through a well-crafted meme does more than a thousand words. @nprofile1q...

Privacy and security - For teaching me that privacy isn't about hiding, it's about dignity and human rights. @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q...

To everyone who's shared knowledge freely, built in the open, and stayed true to the principles: thank you.
