To Daddy,
Thank You Bitcoin for all you have done, thanks to your founder/s Satoshi Nakamoto who wisely chooses to remain anonymous to keep the concept of decentralization full of integrity, thanks to you, you started the altcoin revolution, and put legal tender back into the hands of the poor and middle class, as well as the rich.
Thanks to You, XBT actually is money even if the IRS says it is "VIRTUAL CURRENCY", but is greedy enough to tax it as property forcing people to sell their XBT for USD.
Thank You for forging all the blooming careers into the crypto-currency space, it would not be possible without the blockchain and the concept of a coin on top of it, spawning the altcoins and all fiat gateways profiting off this booming project.
Thanks to You, we had the MT Gox surge in 2013 which controlled most of the Bitcoin at the time, they filed for bankruptcy negating the fact of being responsible for all the missing XBT's stolen, shooting the price up then down, but pushed headlines daily.
Thank You BTW, for making all these exchanges a reality like poloniex, and bittrex and kraken, and for the decentralized exchanges like blocktrades and shapeshift. The more exchanges the better actually as it spreads the supply keeping funds decentralized.
Thanks to You, China went mad for Bitcoin in 2013 shooting the price sky high and giving gold at the time a run for it's value.
Thank You, for making it hard to regulate XBT to hell. Because every Bitcoin address is a public sub ledger within the public ledger with a private key to withdraw/send, XBT truly has taken the homo sapiens financial center back to his homeland, the interwebs yielding control, astern, to the little humans not the ugly power sucking, parasite inducing NWO billionaires and central aka all banks to close your account for silly reasons... #endrant.
Thanks to You, I see you as a Father to us Bitcoin evangelists, we love you (FULL HOMO) although I guess that statement doesn't matter considering you have no gender.
Thank You, for Silk Road. Yep. I said it. Launched in 2011, defunct in 2013 by US FBI, it had a beautiful run of illegal drugs. Thankfully, it is now mostly gone; (although it seems to keep dying and popping back up, gotta have dem drugs ;) who knows what else is out there on the darknet. I guess it is proof that Bitcoin will be used for anything even if is bad and illegal.
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT DO DRUGS AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU NOR DO I CONDONE IT STAY CLEAN
Thanks to You, your spread has been quite wide across the world from the West to the East, from North to South. Although the Arctic circle and Antarctica might be missing out unless they are scientists.
Thank You, for not being a bail out. **** Ethereum, needs to die I am using it just to make some XBT, Father. ETC is the strong patriarch that will defeat his evil son and his brethren. Die slock.it and ETH foundation! Screw you for disabling all exchanges after the DAO hack and forcing your ideas of a hard fork instantly after the attack.
Thanks to You, Humanity might get his free speech back. This is very important. Decentralization is the future clearly, and together we can continue on the steem train ;) And bring liberty into humanity free from big brother; like a eagle flies unhindered throughout the sky.
Thanks to You, your so volatile against the USD! Not as much as 3 years ago but still enough to make some multi figures a few times a year :) This brings greedy exchanges like coinbase with insane fees but heck, more coverage more people into Bitcoin, we win, Father.
Thank you, for making marketplaces like openbazaar (peer to peer merchant service) and purse.io. Getting such a juicy 15% discount on amazon using purse is euphoria. Also, since it is using amazon you get free shipping on most items.
^^^ DISCLAIMER: That is my referral link to purse.io if you want to use it. I make 10MBTC ($6.59 at the time of this post) if you buy something over 50 USD. Don't use it unless your feeling generous or trust purse with your address. Can buy directly from your wallet or shitbase aka coinbase.
Yours,
cattyboy
