Bitcoin is still money, 8 years on from the Blocksize War

Bitcoin just won't die—and Wall Street still hates it.

Eight years after the Blocksize War nearly tore the community apart, BTC keeps minting new believers while legacy finance clutches its pearls. The original crypto asset has weathered every attack: regulatory crackdowns, 'death crosses,' even bankers calling it a 'fraud.' Yet here we are in 2025, with Bitcoin eating traditional finance's lunch.

The Unkillable Protocol

Remember when experts said scaling debates would destroy Bitcoin? The network laughed—then processed more transactions than Visa on a Tuesday. Miners kept securing the chain. Nodes kept validating. The 'digital gold' narrative went from meme to mainstream.

Finance Still Doesn't Get It

Goldman Sachs now offers BTC futures (with a 2% management fee, naturally). Pension funds allocate 0.0001% to 'diversify.' Meanwhile, the orange coin keeps cutting out middlemen—no approval needed.

Eight years. No bailouts. No CEO. Just code that works. Maybe money was supposed to be this way all along.
