The original intention and design philosophy of Bitcoin has always been a thought-provoking topic. While many people like to quote the description of 'peer-to-peer electronic cash system' from the Bitcoin White Paper, in reality, the goals of Bitcoin go far beyond that.



The information left in the genesis block 'The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks' reveals the true mission of Bitcoin: a challenge and criticism of the existing financial currency system.

This message implies the drawbacks of the traditional financial system. When the government continually injects capital into banks to rescue the market, it effectively dilutes the wealth of the general public. Just like the recent large-scale printing of dollars in the United States to save the stock market, this practice essentially sacrifices the interests of the masses to protect a few.

The design of Bitcoin aims to create a currency system that is not subject to government interference and cannot be arbitrarily issued. It attempts to establish a fairer and more transparent financial ecosystem through a decentralized network and a fixed issuance mechanism.

However, to truly understand Bitcoin, we need to go beyond the surface-level technical descriptions and think deeply about its challenge to the existing financial order. Bitcoin is not just a payment tool; it is a potential financial revolution.

Despite the numerous challenges and controversies that Bitcoin still faces, it undoubtedly opens up deep reflections on the nature of currency and the financial system. Whether you are a supporter or a skeptic, Bitcoin deserves more attention and research from us.

Looking at the data, the hedge fund bubble in 2005 is very similar to today.
