Satoshi Nakamoto \'no time to convince\' remark turns 16 as bitcoin status shifts
A remark by Satoshi Nakamoto telling a sceptic he had “no time to convince” has marked its 16th anniversary. The comment was posted on July 29, 2010 on the BitcoinTalk forum after a debate over scalability and payment speed. At the time bitcoin traded around $0.07 and had only hundreds of supporters. In 2026 it is traded as ETP assets recognised by governments and major financial institutions and is changing the nature of the market.

Bitcoin identity not a tech stock or digital gold, seen through Satoshi Nakamoto remarks
As views grow that bitcoin no longer fits existing asset categories, a short message left 16 years ago by Satoshi Nakamoto is drawing attention again. Satoshi wrote in 2010 that explaining bitcoin to the public was difficult because there was nothing comparable. Markets are re-reading the remark amid debate over whether bitcoin should be viewed as a volatile tech stock or defensive digital gold, and some now frame it as a distinct asset defined by its protocol, supply cap and network metrics.

WikiLeaks\' Bitcoin adoption seen as 15-year test after Visa and PayPal block
WikiLeaks\' decision to accept bitcoin in 2011 is drawing renewed attention as a first major case showing cryptocurrency could bypass blocks in traditional financial networks. After the “Cablegate” disclosures, WikiLeaks lost access to major payment and remittance providers including Visa, Mastercard and PayPal, wiping out about 95 percent of its income. It then solicited donations via bitcoin addresses, a move later followed by services such as WordPress and the Internet Archive.
