The Bitcoin White Paper, written by the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto, is now 16 years old. Despite Bitcoin’s mainstream acceptance, the principles outlined in the white paper are as relevant today as they were when it was first published. Satoshi’s vision for a decentralized, peer-to-peer electronic cash system continues to shape the world of cryptocurrency. As Bitcoin continues to grow and evolve, it is clear that Satoshi’s proposal is just as valid now as it was in 2008.
