When Satoshi Nakamoto built Bitcoin, he didn't care about Key Performance Indicators, didn't rely on fundraising to boost the scene, and never did any CEO team promotional photos. All he wanted to do was one thing: create a truly peer-to-peer electronic cash system.
The most important thing is—during the fiercest moments of the 2008 financial crisis, he chose the most hardcore path: believing in cryptography, believing in distributed consensus, and believing that ordinary people can also control their assets. This is not some lofty vision. To put it simply, it’s about refusing to be harvested like chives.
From the very beginning, Bitcoin was not a game designed for big capital whales, but a way out for everyone who is unwilling to be layered and exploited by the financial system. From $BTC to $SOL and the entire crypto ecosystem, the core logic has never changed.
Salute to idealists like Satoshi Nakamoto. The door he opened showed us another possibility.

To be honest, this sense of idealism is a bit strong, but it really hits the mark.
Now there are a bunch of projects doing fundraising, fundraising, and more fundraising, and they’ve forgotten what their original intention was.

Really, Satoshi Nakamoto is just different, he doesn't buy into the storytelling tricks of fundraising at all.
Honestly, back during the financial crisis, who would have thought that using cryptography to do this would require such a hardcore mind?
But now looking at the crypto world... cough, never mind, I won't say more haha

To be honest, Satoshi Nakamoto's logic is still not outdated today. In contrast, the current crypto circle is all about storytelling and fundraising, making it feel just like multi-level marketing.

Honestly, Satoshi Nakamoto had no idea back then what it would eventually become.
