18 Years of Satoshi’s Paradox: Can Bitcoin Survive What Comes Next?

Today, Bitcoin trades near $77,330 and has a market value of about $1.55 trillion. “I’ve been working on a new electronic cash system that’s fully peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party,” Satoshi wrote at the time.

Bitcoin continued without him.
