| By Andy Swan "Generation-defining moments" aren't always appreciated at the time – but we all feel their impact for years to come.
Take October 31, 2008. On that particular Halloween, an anonymous visionary known only as Satoshi Nakamoto published a nine-page whitepaper that would introduce Bitcoin (BTC) and forever change the course of history. 
In plain black and white text, Nakamoto envisioned a financial system where we could transact business on a person-to-person basis. It reprogrammed us to imagine cutting banks and other third-party financial institutions out of the process altogether.

Founder, LikeFolio The Lesser-Known Way to Profit from Bitcoin (You've Got to See This) We all know Bitcoin and volatility go hand in hand. But there are plenty of ways for investors to profit from this asset without riding the rollercoaster that comes with buying it directly. One great strategy works whether the price of BTC goes up or down, allowing you to "stream" thousands of dollars into your account on a regular basis thanks to booming Bitcoin transactions.
