On the 15th anniversary of the release of the white paper, Canadian Member of Parliament (MP) Joël Lightbound took the opportunity to thank the pseudo-anonymous creator of Bitcoin (BTC), Satoshi Nakamoto, in the Canadian parliament while advocating for people to study the leading cryptocurrency.

During his speech on the parliament floor, Lightbound disclosed that he owns Bitcoin himself but won’t advocate for people to buy it. Instead, he wants people to study and understand it. He added that Bitcoin was created at a time of financial crisis, and over the years, it has become a tool to empower the underbanked and those living in oppressive regimes.
