Bitcoin historian Pete Rizzo recently shared a statement made by Bitcoin's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, exactly 16 years ago. Nakamoto stated, "I might make some sense just to get some in case it catches on." This comment came shortly after Bitcoin's launch and its first transaction. Many in the cryptocurrency community see this statement as prophetic, as Bitcoin has since gained popularity and established itself as a cornerstone of the industry. Bitcoin, which was worth $0 at the time, is now trading at $99,332 and has a market valuation of $1.96 trillion. This highlights the enduring relevance of Nakamoto's vision and Bitcoin's expanding influence. The recent surge in Bitcoin's price to $100,000 is attributed to reassuring U.S. inflation data, leading to bets on more Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts.
