The dream of Satoshi is simple. The decision to exchange the ownership of money should rest entirely on its owner. Revolutionizing our understanding of money and management of digital assets in the last decade and some. Building on this idea, new concepts, tools, and solutions are being created to address so many challenges in fintech previously unidentified or purposely ignored due to the complexity involved in probable solutions.
The Satoshi Dream was etched in the historical bitcoin whitepaper. It became a reality on January 3rd, 2009 when bitcoin’s genesis block was mined. And for the first time, money became a thing unrestricted by borders or prevalent regulations. Its entire future rested on the will of those people who will use it. Because it was open to the public for critiquing and improvements, it ushered in a whole generation of developers, entrepreneurs, and financial speculators.
Satoshi recreated money so that everyone can participate in its future. Those who hold it can do so without experiencing the challenges that come with the money issued and controlled by central authorities. Applying this philosophy gave birth to many applications on similar infrastructures such as Ethereum, where developers can create secure and efficient applications for users without compromising their privacy.
At the time of this writing, bitcoin ranks number 1 on the list of financial companies in the world without being an actual company by popular definition. It is also the best performing asset in the last decade.
