18 years ago today, nine pages were published that will prove to be among the most important documents in human history.
The Bitcoin whitepaper gave us money that is open to all, owned by its users and controlled by no one.

Did you know?
The Ostrich is technically the fastest land animal, given that they can run up to ~40 mph...for ~30-40 mins! π€―
In comparison, a Cheetah can run up to 70 mph, but only for a few minutes at best. π¨
Ostriches can never be a #latebird. β‘
Be an Ostrich! πͺΆ
