Today marks 15 years since Satoshi Nakamoto shared the Bitcoin white paper! A milestone that marked a new era in global finance.

Satoshi devised a decentralized system to facilitate peer-to-peer transactions, based on blockchain technology and an innovative proof-of-work consensus mechanism. It was inspired by Wei Dai and Adam Back's previous projects.

Bitcoin introduced revolutionary concepts such as transaction timestamping, Merkle trees, and data verification through digital signatures, achieving an immutable and tamper-resistant system.

This invention paved the way for the global adoption of cryptocurrencies, allowing users to transact outside of traditional financial systems. Despite the ups and downs and price volatility, Bitcoin has maintained its relevance and continues to evolve with developments like the Lightning Network and the Ordinals.

Bitcoin, from its first real transaction in 2010 to becoming legal tender in El Salvador in 2021, has demonstrated its increasing acceptance in various financial areas and around the world. A true pioneer in the world of cryptocurrencies.#satoshi#bitcoin#birthday#cryptocurrencies#lodehoy#news
