Deep dives
The History of Bitcoin
Bitcoin, inspired by ideas like Hashcash and B-Money, was first introduced in the Bitcoin white paper published by Satoshi Nakamoto on October 31, 2008. The Genesis block followed shortly after in 2009, marking the birth of Bitcoin. Satoshi remained active for about two years, making changes to the code, some of which would have been hard forks, but were quietly implemented. Then, on April 28, 2011, Satoshi disappeared from the Bitcoin community. The core group of contributors formed, and Bitcoin development continued on platforms like GitHub. Altcoins like Namecoin also emerged, leading to the diversification of the cryptocurrency landscape.
