 🌅 Good Morning, Bitcoin - Thursday, August 1st, 2024

GM. It’s Thursday, August 1, a day to celebrate Bitcoin Independence Day. On this day in 2017, Bitcoin users ended the network’s Blocksize Wars with a user-activated soft fork (UASF), reclaiming control and concluding a years-long scaling conflict that culminated in the activation of SegWit. 

Additionally, today marks the 22nd anniversary of Adam Back's Hashcash whitepaper.
