Seventeen years later, Bitcoin has moved from an experiment discussed by a few developers to a global asset debated by governments, institutions, and everyday users. What’s interesting isn’t just the price history, but how the original idea of decentralized, trust‑minimized money has held up under real‑world pressure.Some see Bitcoin today as digital gold, others still focus on its role as peer‑to‑peer money, while critics question scalability, energy use, and relevance. At the same time, no other network has matched its level of security, neutrality, and longevity.
