17 Years Since Satoshi’s Bitcoin White Paper

Published at 2026-01-01 14:30:08

The crypto community is celebrating a milestone as Bitcoin (BTC) turns 17 years since the release of Satoshi Nakamoto’s white paper. Entrepreneur and investor Ted Pillows took to X to remind followers of the moment that launched decentralized digital money and set the foundation for an entirely new asset class.

Beyond a commemorative post, the anniversary is a moment to consider how Bitcoin has influenced payments, store-of-value debates, and the growth of exchanges, wallets, and Layer‑2 projects. As the largest digital asset by market cap, BTC’s birthday often renews conversations about adoption, regulatory clarity, and the next phase of infrastructure and innovation in crypto.
