In a tweet, Bitcoin historian Pete Rizzo shared a statement believed to have been made by the Bitcoin creator, marking exactly 16 years since it was made. This statement dates back to November 6, 2008, when Bitcoin was valued at $0. Fast forward to today, and Bitcoin has set a new all-time high of $75,410.

The statement, which Rizzo shared, highlights Satoshi’s belief in Bitcoin’s power even when the digital currency had not yet launched and had no monetary value. Satoshi articulated his vision for Bitcoin in this succinct statement.

Satoshi's Power of Bitcoin statement came notably less than seven days after the Bitcoin white paper was released.

On Oct. 31, 2008, the pseudonymous Bitcoin creator published the Bitcoin whitepaper, laying the groundwork for the world's first and largest cryptocurrency. Bitcoin would later launch the following year, on January 3, 2009, precisely, when Nakamoto mined the starting block of the chain, known as the genesis block.
