Thirteen years ago, on October 31, Bitcoin was introduced to the world. Has it Delivered on its Promise?

From all the spinoffs and into the ETH network of smart contracts and now NFT's. It's insane what BTC has accomplished in such a short amount of time.

" The short answer is - Absolutely Yes. "

​

"There’s a lot of hype about Bitcoin - but these two things are true.

• Many people use Bitcoin. Since its launch in 2009, more than 76 million people worldwide have used Bitcoin.
• Most investors have no idea how it works. One survey says that only about 17% of crypto investors “fully understand” their investment. In contrast, more than 33% have almost no idea how it works. This is not surprising since 40% of all crypto purchases come from new investors."
  

The article does a nice job at summarizing the last 13 years BTC has persevered through. Lets celebrate on this amazing birthday.
