    Who created bitcoin: True crazy story
    Nov 21 2024
    Bitcoin was created by an individual or group of individuals using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. In October 2008, Nakamoto published the Bitcoin whitepaper, outlining the concept of a peer-to-peer electronic cash system. This revolutionary document proposed a decentralized, digital currency that would enable secure, transparent, and censorship-resistant transactions without intermediaries. On January 3, 2009, Nakamoto created the first block in the Bitcoin blockchain, known as the Genesis Block. Nakamoto continued to contribute to Bitcoin's development until December 2010, when they mysteriously disappeared. Their true identity remains unknown, sparking intense speculation and investigation. The Bitcoin network has since grown into a global phenomenon, with a market capitalization exceeding $1 trillion. #Bitcoin #SatoshiNakamoto #Blockchain #Cryptocurrency #DecentralizedFinance #DigitalCash #FinancialRevolution #MysteryFounder #CryptoHistory
