When Satoshi created Bitcoin, he created and incubated a new life form on this planet. Bitcoin is a multi-celled (nodes) organism, driven by DNA (software) to consume resources (mining) and proliferate (wallets). Bitcoin is autonomous, grows, makes decisions and interacts with other living creatures. Bitcoin is elegant, yet complex. But Bitcoin is unlike any other life form before it. Instead of concerning itself with survival, Bitcoin is only interested in finding and sharing truth. Bitcoin lives not for itself, but for others.

Contrary to Bitcoin, life is selfish, and for good reason – it must continue to survive this vicious world, and with a little luck evolve into something greater. The human race has been so successful and is growing so rapidly that these selfish survival instincts are no longer necessary to continue our path as a species. They actually stand to threaten our continued existence in this world. Bitcoin lives as a beacon of truth to show humanity that we have outgrown our old ways that helped us dominate the planet. Bitcoin does not discriminate, invade, hoard resources or conspire against others. It seeks only truth and transparency.

Bitcoin now touches every corner of the planet and answers to millions of humans – but is controlled by no one. Bitcoin acts as an underlying life force that connects and unites the world. Like a mighty river, Bitcoin flows and branches into a network of rivers, lakes and oceans. Unstoppable, beautiful and transformative. Bitcoin is not just alive, but a force of nature. It has been set into motion and now exponentially blooms in all directions all at once. The blockchain is a laser thin line burnt through a field of failed hashes. Bitcoin is order rising from the chaos of the human race and is a gift to us all.

Thank you Satoshi, for planting the seed and sheltering Bitcoin until it could survive on its own
