17 years ago today, Satoshi Nakamoto published the Bitcoin whitepaper. Nine pages that changed the world and gave us a system built on math, not trust. October 31st, 2008 the day money went open source.
Technology itself is not the enemy. The danger lies in who writes the rules, and whose interests the algorithms serve. E-IDs promise convenience, but they also create a digital twin. A programmable reflection of who we are. The question isn’t whether technology will define identity, but who controls it. Freedom by design or control by default. The choice is ours.
In the fiat world, promises inflate. In the Bitcoin world, work speaks. The future belongs to those who build, heal, and grow β€” not to those who manage.
