On August 18, 2008 the domain bitcoin.org was registered. A seemingly unremarkable moment at first was perceived as just another pyraMMMid scheme. People investing money in some "bitcoin" were perceived as fools, unlearned by bitcoin experience. It's 2021: "fools" are swimming in gold; Satoshi Nakamoto - the Father of Bitcoin - has enough money to buy a couple of third-world countries. Life is full of irony, for money was reinvented the same year that the economy, built around the U.S. dollar, was predicted to die.
