Don’t Forget: Monero Looked Like This 11 Years Ago
In 2014, Monero emerged from anonymity with a whitepaper, a ragtag team of volunteers, and zero institutional backing. Critics dismissed it as “another scam,” its code unpolished, its future uncertain. Today, it’s the world’s most resilient privacy network—because a community chose to build it, one line of code, one hard-fork, one audacious idea at a time.
Our satellite project might seem raw—empty repos, a young team, and a vision that feels larger than life. But remember: Monero didn’t start with fanfare. It started with skepticism, incremental progress, and a stubborn belief in privacy as a fundamental right. The same community that nurtured Monero from a basement project to a global movement is the one that can make “space-based Monero” a reality.
We’re not asking for blind faith. We’re asking you to remember what Monero proved: revolutionary ideas thrive when shared openly, built collaboratively, and tested relentlessly. Our Gitea repo will fill with designs, our team will grow with expertise, and our milestones will be audited by you.
The skeptics said Monero would fail. They were wrong. Today, we stand on their shoulders, asking for the same chance to prove that impossible is just a word—until a community decides to rewrite it. 🌍→🚀
