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. @04c91...becc9 @472f4...9301e

Decentralisation - For showing me why distributed systems aren’t just technically superior, they’re morally necessary. @83e81...d964b

Money - For helping me see that money isn’t what we’ve been told it is, and understanding its true nature changes everything. @eab0e...91f4f @c4eab...bc4e0

Nostr - For building and believing in open protocols, proving that decentralised social media isn’t just possible, it’s inevitable. @3f770...45b24 @ee6ea...b6e74 @32e18...8e245 @3bf0c...a459d @460c2...5065c

Philosophy - For connecting the dots between individual sovereignty and why Bitcoin matters beyond the price. @6e468...eee93

The power of media - For demonstrating that narrative shapes reality, and controlling our own channels of communication is freedom itself. @54609...2ba03 @8d5ba...3ecd5 @ab8cb...5d502

Building a Bitcoin business - For proving it’s possible to build circular economy businesses and contribute value to the ecosystem while earning a living. @a44db...4bf4b @e096a...51479 @10b66...507df

Power of memes - For understanding that ideas spread through a well-crafted meme does more than a thousand words. @f8e6c...28ca9

Privacy and security - For teaching me that privacy isn’t about hiding, it’s about dignity and human rights. @3b7fc...4354f @50d94...81d63

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