On November 17, 2008, the oldest known version of the Bitcoin code was released, marking a pivotal moment in the history of Bitcoin. This release transformed Bitcoin from a concept outlined in a whitepaper by its creator Satoshi Nakamoto to a functioning currency. At the time, Bitcoin had no value, but today it has skyrocketed to over $90,000. Satoshi's vision was to create a decentralized digital currency that operates without a central authority, and Bitcoin has gradually gained adoption since its launch in 2009. The current value of Bitcoin is $91,785, and there are concerns that liquidity conditions and expectations for a Federal Reserve interest rate reduction could impact the speculative demand for cryptocurrencies.
