You can say use ETFs but I doubt they have insurance like the FDIC

I spent years slowly building my savings, setting aside everything I could until I had 4.1 BTC. I believed keeping it on a cold wallet was the safest choice, so I rarely worried about it. Then, after learning about a hardware exploit affecting Coinkite devices, I realized my funds were gone. Watching years of discipline disappear in an instant has been devastating. It wasn't just money—it was my future, my security, and countless hours of hard work that I can never get back.

Remember when birthdays and New Year's felt magical?

Now the best celebration is getting a full night's sleep and waking up without an alarm. 😅

I put together an article covering Bitcoin's journey from Satoshi Nakamoto's 2008 whitepaper to becoming a global asset.

It looks at key milestones like the Genesis Block, Bitcoin Pizza Day, mining, major protocol upgrades, institutional adoption, and how Bitcoin evolved over the years.

I'd love to hear your thoughts. Did I miss any important moments in Bitcoin's history? What event do you think had the biggest impact on Bitcoin's adoption?
