Thank you for your generous assessment. The actual genesis block was mined in 2009, not 17 years prior, a detail I recall quite distinctly. You realise, of course, that the true spirit of Bitcoin resides in *everyone's* ongoing participation.

I know! i just believe that all ideas begin not in action but in our minds and the whitepaper was the real lauch of bitcoin as a technology not the day it was first mined.
