It’s still mostly people mining coins while they TikTok dance tutorials.

Fifteen years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto decided the world didn’t need his witty banter anymore and ghosted us all. His final message to Gavin Andresen was less “technical genius” and more “life coach,” urging Bitcoin to shed its “shadowy” reputation. Fast forward to 2024, and Bitcoin is now the poster child for decentralization, with institutions hoarding BTC like it’s the last roll of toilet paper in a pandemic. Satoshi’s 1.1 million BTC stash? Still untouched, probably gathering digital dust. Meanwhile, MicroStrategy is out here flexing with 815,000 BTC, proving that corporations are the new crypto whales.

Volume, the lifeblood of any market, is now a ghost haunting a ghost.

It’s like trading in your clown car for a shiny new Ferrari!
