Remember the white paper by Satoshi Nakamoto? It changed everything.

A simple yet radical idea: building a peer-to-peer electronic cash system using blockchain technology. It sounds simple, but it directly exposes the core of traditional finance—those intermediary institutions. Banks, clearinghouses, custodians—all can be bypassed.

The birth of Bitcoin, in a sense, is a reshaping of the existing financial system. Not just patching it up, but rewriting how value flows from the ground up. Decentralization is not just a concept; it’s a redefinition of the entire trust system—no longer trusting institutions, but trusting code and mathematics.

This logic has laid a dual foundation for the entire crypto world: one is the technical architecture, and the other is the ideological guiding principle. The former determines feasibility, the latter determines direction. From $BTC to today’s various blockchain applications, they are essentially interpreting, optimizing, or extending the core ideas of that white paper by Satoshi Nakamoto.

This is not just financial innovation; it’s a major rewrite of the paradigm of global value transfer.
