On June 17, 2010, Satoshi Nakamoto made a statement that would forever shape the world of digital money.
"The nature of Bitcoin is such that once version 0.1 was released, the core design was set in stone for the rest of its lifetime."
This highlighted Bitcoin's unchangeable nature, setting it apart from other forms of money, both digital and traditional.
Bitcoin version 0.1 was released January 2009, marking the launch of the world's first decentralized cryptocurrency.
This version created the foundation for a peer-to-peer electronic cash system that would transform finance and technology.
By ensuring the core design wouldn't change, Satoshi made sure Bitcoin stayed true to its original vision.
Bitcoin was built with a fixed supply of 21 million coins, a limit set by Satoshi himself.
Today, Bitcoin Core continues as the original software Satoshi developed, now managed by a global team of contributors.
At the end of May, a new release candidate for Bitcoin Core was released for testing after the major release of version 27.0.
Currently, Bitcoin is the largest cryptocurrency, with a market value of $1.28 trillion, making up about half of the global market cap of $2.4 trillion.
Around 19.71 million BTC are in circulation, which is 94% of its total supply limit of 21 million.
