Bitcoin White Paper Turns 15: Revisiting Satoshi's Vision for Decentralized Currency

The Bitcoin white paper, authored by Satoshi Nakamoto, was released 15 years ago on Oct 31, 2008. It outlined a vision for decentralized digital currency.

The white paper introduced innovative solutions like blockchain and proof-of-work to enable peer-to-peer electronic cash without centralized authority.

Since its release, Bitcoin has grown into a global phenomenon, sparking waves of new innovation in cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.

The white paper's vision addressed problems like inflation, censorship resistance, and reclaiming financial power from central banks - issues still relevant today.

As we mark 15 years since the white paper's release, the resurgence in Bitcoin Builder culture shows we must keep Satoshi's decentralized vision alive for the future.
