About Bitcoin Whitepaper
On October 31, 2008, an anonymous person or group called Satoshi Nakamoto published a 9 page paper titled Bitcoin: A Peer to Peer Electronic Cash System. The paper proposed a decentralized digital currency using blockchain technology. The first Bitcoin block was mined on January 3, 2009. Bitcoin traded at less than 1 cent in its early years. It reached 1 in 2011, 1,000 in 2013, 20,000 in 2017, and over 100,000 in 2025. Nakamotos identity remains unknown. Bitcoin created the entire cryptocurrency industry, worth over 2 trillion dollars at its peak. The blockchain concept is now used across finance, supply chains, and beyond.
