Ripple CTO David Schwartz recently engaged in a lighthearted exchange on X, commenting on Bitcoin's evolution over 50 years. The discussion, initiated by Bitcoin enthusiast Rajat Soni, emphasized Bitcoin's stable value proposition, stating '1 BTC = 1 BTC.' Schwartz humorously noted, 'Bitcoin is not the same now as it was 50 years ago,' despite Bitcoin's 2009 launch. This playful remark highlights the ongoing evolution of digital currencies since foundational cryptographic work began in 1975.
