Fifteen years ago today, Satoshi Nakamoto typed out a short, almost casual statement on a Bitcoin forum that would end up sounding prophetic:
“The utility of the exchange made possible by Bitcoin will far exceed the cost of electricity used. Therefore, not having Bitcoin would be net waste.”
It traded for a mere $0.07 at the time — Aug. 7, 2010 — and largely among a small group of early adopters. It could be mined on a desktop computer.
Today, Bitcoin exchanges near $117,000, after reaching a high this year of $123,000. The token is no longer an esoteric experiment by an unknown programmer but the linchpin of a $2.3 trillion crypto space that has captivated retail investors, Wall Street, even government.
