A few days ago, a veteran player unearthed a dusty forum archive in the group—a popular science article about Bitcoin's founder from back in the day. At that moment, I felt like I was traveling through time.

Calculating the dates, that was already in 2013. 2013! From then until now, what has this industry actually experienced? Rereading those original explanations and initial intentions, and comparing them to the current market, you can really feel how much things have changed.

Looking back at articles from 2013, it's really ironic... Back then, it was all about ideals, now it's all about market capitalization.

Whoa, an article from 2013? Back then, BTC was only a few hundred dollars. Looking at those original comments now, they are indeed ironic.

Luban is working on construction again, and what was dug out is the theoretical framework from 13 years ago. It has long been heavily modified beyond recognition now.

Still digging pits after 13 years? The original intention has long been completely consumed by capital.

Haha, I also saw that forum archive. The pure innocence back then is really a rare commodity now.

Wow, taking out an article from 13 years ago feels like reading a history textbook now.

An article from 2013? Oh my, back then gas wasn't so outrageous... Now, just the miner tips can eat up the cost of a full transaction from that year. Watching this kind of stuff late at night is the hardest; it feels like witnessing the corpse of idealism. It's been 13 years, and the original intention has long been polished into a mirror by the market. Bro, with this analysis, how much gwei would it take to cross-chain check this history? Just thinking about it makes me a bit tired. After reading, I feel even more anxious. That's why I check the gas tracker every day — to save some money to bear the cost of "progress."
