Ripple CTO’s 50-Year Bitcoin Joke: Is It a Hype or a Hidden Gem? 🧠💸

by

Oh, the age-old question: Is Bitcoin a digital gold or a digital joke? Well, the Ripple CTO has weighed in with a “50-year” take that’s as confusing as a crypto wallet without a password! 🤯

Rajat Soni, the crypto sage, declares, “1 BTC = 1 BTC!” because nothing says “value proposition” like a token that’s worth exactly what it’s worth. 🎩💰

Soni adds, “You can’t say the same for stocks, because companies are like your ex-they’re never the same after 50 years!” 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

Bitcoin is not the same now as it was 50 years ago. – David ‘JoelKatz’ Schwartz (@JoelKatz) November 9, 2025

Schwartz, ever the joker, retorts, “Bitcoin is not the same now as it was 50 years ago.” Oh, I get it! It’s like saying a pizza is different from a hot dog-obvious, but hey, at least it’s not a sandwich. 🍕🍕

Bitcoin “50 Years” Ago? More Like “50 Years of Confusion”! 🤷‍♂️

Most likely, Schwartz’s comment is a playful jab, but could it be a cryptic hint? After all, this guy helped build XRP and once worked for the NSA. Who knows what he’s hiding in his digital vault? 🔐

Bitcoin launched 16 years ago, but let’s not forget, 50 years ago, the NSA was busy with crypto stuff. Wait, 50 years ago? That’s when your grandma was a teenager! 🕰️👵

The history of Bitcoin started with Satoshi, who basically said, “Hey, let’s make a currency that’s as stable as a snowflake in a hurricane!” ❄️

Significant work on cryptography began 50 years ago, in 1975, when IBM invented DES. Sounds like the original “blockchain” – but with less hype and more paperclips. 📄

And 12 years before Bitcoin, the NSA published a white paper titled “How To Make A Mint: The Cryptography of Anonymous Electronic Cash.” Translation: “We’re already doing this, but don’t worry, it’s not for you.” 🚫
