First, let’s ask: How did we even get the chance to be here, in crypto? Let me tell you my own story. Let’s go back to 2008—the global financial crisis. That’s when Satoshi Nakamoto introduced Bitcoin and published its whitepaper. [2/14]

Bitcoin’s whitepaper even referenced a statement from the Federal Reserve, subtly hinting at inevitable money printing. It reminded us that Bitcoin’s total supply is capped—forever. That was the first key insight. We’re here because of Bitcoin. It’s our origin. [3/14]

Bitcoin is a store of value—an anti-inflationary asset. Years later, Vitalik Buterin and a team of innovators—some of whom later founded projects like Cardano—came forward to fix Bitcoin’s limitations with Ethereum. [4/14]

Bitcoin, while revolutionary, was rigid and not built to host complex applications. Ethereum aimed to become a global virtual machine, not just a currency, but a foundation for apps that bring transparency and decentralization to real-world systems. [5/14]

ETH is tradable, sure, but it was never just meant to be another coin. After the Merge, Ethereum shifted from mining and began to distance itself from Bitcoin’s model. ETH/BTC pair has been in decline ever since—but that doesn’t tell the whole story. [6/14]
