This is a very nice studying about in bitcoin, especially for those newbies in this industry. This will give a big help to anyone to find out and have a little background about in bitcoin, how it started, who created it and more. :)

Agree, nice overwiew. Its important to create awarness, spread solid knowledge based on facts to grow bitcoin safely.
Knowledge is power, knowledge is money!

thanks for sharing...
what got my attention in the overview was in 2010, when A programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz, who lived in Florida pays 10,000 Bitcoins on a pizza, that was originally bought from Papa Johns by a volunteer in England. The exchange rate at the time put the purchase price for the pizza at 25USD. comparing the exchange rate between 2010 and now, we can see bitcoin has come to rule the global currencies.

Interesting detailed article. Although in it mostly well-known facts, it is still perfectly read. I hope you continue to write the story Bitcoin

I think we're quite a bit off bitcoin "ruling" the global currencies. But it is certainly interesting that such a simple idea could have such an impact on the way we treat money and the way we treat true ownership rather than relying on a 3rd party for everything :)

Check out this article, it's pretty interesting: https://coincodex.com/article/1072/what-triggered-the-creation-and-success-of-cryptocurrencies/

thank you bro, this what i lookin for, this could be the most i read first, want to know about bitcoin history.


so founded on 2007 not 2009, because i ever read on some blog it was state there bitcoin found on 2009 even on wikipedia.



Bitcoin at 1USD = 1,309.03 BTC, if compare to now rate was so amazing. if that time i already know about bitcoin will invest some my money on bitcoin till now. ;D

This thread is a great help for a newbie like me, thanks!

That should be always at top cause every day newbies ask what bitcoin exacty is it so just get this link copied and answer with it!

Thanks for sharing, Rocky!

Another good resource for learning about the history of Bitcoin is a narrative book called Digital Gold by Nathanial Popper. You can find a review HERE. (https://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/05/books/review/nathaniel-poppers-digital-gold-looks-at-bitcoin.html?_r=0)

This book is the best narrative story of Bitcoin.

thank you for this, i have read some facts about bitcoin i did not know before and amazed about the progress of bitcoin. God Bless us all.

Thanks for posting the information. Definitely learned something new.

The pizza story is definitely the most sad/interesting. I hope that the guy kept at least few coins to himself!

In January 2009, the bitcoin network came into existence with the release of the first open source bitcoin client and the issuance of the first bitcoins, with Satoshi Nakamoto mining the first block of bitcoins ever (known as the genesis block), which had a reward of 50 bitcoins.

I just can't imagine how that guy feels.

Thanks for putting this together!

If you decide to make a next iteration of this first published version you should consider adding in the key players that helped Bitcoin go from an idea in Satoshi's head to a marketplace.

Names like the following all have an important place in this history:

• Hal Finney
• Martti Malmi (https://www.theverge.com/2015/6/10/8751933/the-shy-college-student-who-helped-build-bitcoin-into-a-global)
• Andreas Antonopoulos
• Gavin Andressen
• Roger Ver
• Mark Karpeles

There are others (and Craig Wright is not one of them.)

very informative link. Thanks for sharing

Great share. Although with everything happening so fast, they're gonna have to update this daily  ::)
