Bitcoin historian Pete Rizzo shared a tweet featuring a throwback to Satoshi Nakamoto's explanation of why Bitcoin was a scientific breakthrough 16 years ago, even when it was valued at zero dollars. Nakamoto's pioneering whitepaper, published in 2008, described a peer-to-peer electronic cash system that bypassed financial institutions. Rizzo included a screenshot of one of Nakamoto's emails in which he discussed Bitcoin as a solution to synchronization and global view problems. The timing of the tweet is notable as Bitcoin recently reached new all-time highs, with a value of $91,981.
