Bitcoin Forum

Oh, this is quite an interesting project. Thanks for starting it! I would also recommend looking through this old forum posts and digging up the Press section to see news that made it to the site, and also serves as evidence for the facts. Similarly you could go through archives of some of the old news sites to look for important events that happened.

I see the date for Nakamoto's last post. Maybe also a date for the first and last known correspondence for him? Emails.

Also, the message attached to the genesis block is quite important for historians... about the bailout.

There's this timeline that was started on http://historyofbitcoin.org/, quite a lot of useful dates to make note of, for me particularly, the dates Bitcoin value was first established on an exchange (October 5 2009) and quote:


Also when it reached parity with the US dollar, if price tracking is important (it's not, but significant).

The timeline ends abruptly in 2014, but it was resurrected here, all the way to March 2017:
http://www.therevolutionwillnotbecentralized.com/timeline/

This shows bigger picture: https://timelines.issarice.com/wiki/Timeline_of_Bitcoin

I really like the idea. Maybe you should expand the timeline over the full Bitcoin lifecylce: each day from 2008 to now.

I remember a event on 17th December 2013 when China's Central Bank announced to ban Bitcoin transactions. As a consequence the Bitcoin price crashed to nearly US$500.

The ability to present information in a succinct and intelligible manner is a characteristic of a deep thinker and user of words on pen. The dates nothing happened would have been deleted and give one the moral rectitude to continue reading. The history of the bitcoin and its inventor is quite amazing,however it is wiser and smarter to keep things simple.

This thread is helpful to study the history of bitcoin, the only one topic that capture my interest is the pizza man. Lol.

Furthere more it is interesting topic to follow,  even theres a lot of event missing. Thank for creating this thread, i can now back in time. The time that i was really missed the ride.


And also thanks for this additional info. It can help me to undertand the whole missing things on my research about the history of bitcoin.

Always nice to see someone new find all this stuff interesting. We take a lot for granted, what with every new alt popping up every day and many of them talking about the weaknesses, faults and shortcomings of Bitcoin. Even if timelines and history are really just for posterity, even if they have no value to take from going forward, there's still a lot of human interest in the past.

@OP: I neglect to ask, out of curiosity, what's your stake in all this?

Hope you can list that all day with the history until the current time, it will be useful for the bitcoin history learners also the beginner who want to learn about bitcoin.

thanks for noticing the history of bitcoin, and I think bitcoin history is very attractive from the price every year, because if I see bitcoin prices always increase in every year and that is almost all happening at the end of the year.

Great research. I salute your due diligence to making us know how it all started. This is no joke how the difficulty level increased by 10,000 on December 9th. This is a real proof of work and not one legalized counterfeit called fiat created from nothing and backed by professional financial Mafias.

It was just a suggestion. Writing the dates down is not a challenge using the right tools that can semi-automate it like Excel or LibreOffice Calc for example.

It was interesting to read such useful information. Btc has a great history and it is known as the most powerful coin among other coins. it is the best one ever among a large number of coins

Wow that's great. This is a great day-to-day update by you. Job well done. Now those people that are new to cryptocurrencies, should look at this post.

yes, this will be very useful for a beginner who can know about the history of bitcoin is so great and phenomenal until now, bitcoin is one of the most popular coins, and bitcoin is still the number one coin, and there are so many people who invest and want to get benefit from it.

You are very cool to come up with, write on the forum all the important news that could change the course of bitcoin and other altcoins. I believe that we should also take part in this.
therefore, on July 17, 2018 MasterCard accepted the agreement to participate in cryptography

I have also read some information presented by OP, on wikipedia. but why does the OP not include the address of the source information? is this data just the same coincidence?

Realy? Omg that was a huge kind of job your doing but im happy to see this informations in the future and thanks to you in advance. Anyway good luck to you friend maybe after you finish all that history you already knows everything about bitcoin.

Looking forward for many of your updates since this is a very interesting project,looks like i am tracking back time from the beginning that satoshi created bitcoin.

This is the first time that i am reading and learning all the things bitcoin does and i believe that i will get many ideas from th

Nice post Dude. I am particularly loving the developmental process and progress of bitcoin. Bitcoin has a wonderful future. My favourite cofee shop also accept bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies and as a result they are getting more customers day by day.

This has all been explained about Bitcoin's track record so far and I see it as a fantastic thing. Initially Bitcoin is just a thing that is not considered good and not many people would have thought that Bitcoin could be this big. I feel very optimistic that in the future Bitcoin can be much better than now, Every time there will always be progress and also there will always be progress towards the positive.

This is an insane work done, I appreciate and thank you for doing that but I don't have any merrits to give you, what you deserve. I think I would not be able to stay concentrated for so long to make that research.

Please add these:

On July 21, 2017, SegWit was locked in by Bitcoin miners (source (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SegWit)).

On August 21, 2017, SegWit was activated (source (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SegWit)).

Cool thread!  8)

Some additions here:

The most iconic bitcointalk threads. History on Bitcointalk.

This is more likely "The log" of bitcoin for this year, it is very good for you to have this data.
Maybe we can use this list to predict what will be the bitcoin market price movements in the future.
although we cannot predict cryptocurrency, but at least we able to read some.

wherever I look at the history of bitcoin, I always look at the date of October 5, 2009 and try to remember what I did on this day that I did not buy bitcoin

I am saving this post for future view. Thanks for your effort and summarizing the history so well with remarkable price shifts. If we compare this years price chart we will find much similarity. So hoping for another high just like december 2017.

There Are Now More Than 3,500 Bitcoin ATMs Worldwide

While not as widely used as those made for fiat currency, cryptocurrency ATMs remain a popular medium for buying and selling cryptocurrency such as bitcoin. Today marks a milestone, as there are now over 3,500 bitcoin ATMs installed and operational around the world.

ATM Count Breaks the 3,500 Mark
The latest data from Coinatmradar — a leading authority that tracks bitcoin ATM locations — shows the slump in bitcoin prices hasn’t had much impact in the rate at which crypto ATMs are being installed and used across the world. The data shows there are currently 3,503 bitcoin ATMs across the globe, as of press time. Out of these installed ATMs, 1,846 (about 52.7 percent) support altcoins with 49 percent and 32.1 percent of these ATMs supporting litecoin and ether, respectively. This new milestone comes 17 months after the total number of bitcoin ATMs surpassed the 1,000 installation mark in early 2017.

America Keeps its Spot
The data from Coinatmradar reports that North America has the largest concentration of ATMs globally, with a whopping 2,594 bitcoin ATMs installed, which translates to 74.05% of the total spread of ATMs installed across the world. Following North America, albeit still far away, is Europe — where the United Kingdom and Austria, dominate, followed closely by Russia and the Czech Republic. https://www.ccn.com/there-are-now-more-than-3500-bitcoin-atms-worldwide/

I really want to dream up the events in November and December 2018.
1 event - that in November 2018, Bitcoin repeated its maximum of 2017 of 20 000 dollars.
2 event - that in December 2018, Bitcoin exceeded 30 000 thousand dollars.

Quite a detailed list of events, about many I did not even know, although I followed the events quite closely :)

A good one! you can use your personal blog to update Bitcoin This Day and post link to share with us :)

What a good idea. I didn't know a lot of those things that was mentioned, but what about the rest of these dates is something occurred or was in the same style

You thanks for news the history of bitcoin and I think bitcoin history is very attractive from the price every day or every year because if I see bitcoin price is always increase in every year and happy news and the end of the year. so we will encurried to people to invest to bitcoin.

The idea is good because it works to publish the history of Bitcoin to take advantage of its movements
I personally read some important stations with great enjoyment
When the price of the commodity rises a thousands times in a few years
This means that we are facing a historic event already.

There will be more history for bitcoin in near future. Like Bitcoin adoption and bitcoin traded on wall street. Many good news will come for bitcoin and bitcoin will make history as valuable asset

Although we can not predict electronic money, but at least we can read some. Anywhere I look at the history of bitcoin, I always look on October 5, 2009 and try to remember what I did on this day that I did not buy bitcoin.

in the day to day history of bitcoin in my opinion, it is still the same as before, the lack of establishment in the old forum became bored me

Wow! That's truly a long but amazingly informative post. Incontestably, the history of bitcoin is something good to hold on to about crypto. From that, we can sense that it's really going a good direction, contrary to what others say that it's nearly dying. From its very humble beginning (particularly in 2009 when it was first mined to 2013 when it reached $1B market cap), we can see that bitcoin had developed greatly, and even though it's hardly dumped now, I still believe that there's more to it. The best of bitcoin is yet to come, and it's just starting to make its history.

Well this is a good list for most people who wants to keep track of what has happened in the past. Sometimes these events still have an effect on the market. Also for those trying to historically analyze major events, this is a good, simple source. So thoughtful of you dude 😛

Great topic
4th Jan 2008 - Bitcoin.com registered

I never think about this one. I sudden realized how bitcoin prosper foe the past years. Thank you for sharing us those important happenings cryptocurrency has done through for the past. I hope you can fill up the blanks after as what your goal is. This topic is really helpful and interesting.

The first Bitcoin (BTC) transaction received to an IP address ?

- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4745089.0

The Satoshi > Hal transaction is/was P2IP. However, the transaction(s) I received would seem to be the first forum / public request to be actioned.

Thanks!

Indeed - but why was it registered then ? More questions than answers, I believe?

I love people who are doing this kind of efforts.
Merits for that.
It is like a summary of what happened before. Although it is history already, it is an important part for bitcoin specially to the newbies who have been creating threads here and there asking questions which have been asked several times. I am not saying it is boring to answer them.
It is just that it is kind of difficult to find the words by now.
Maybe this could help them a lot.

Thank you for creating this.

Please do update the first post though and not put it in other pages. I guess your reserves are meant for that right?

I don't really think that https://www.bitcoin.com is for bitcoincash but instead it is a wallet as well as mining pool available there. Bitcoin.com was the first official website for bitcoins and this (bitcointalk.org) was the forum of that website. Later on as the demand start rising, new competitors were seen and bitcoin.com website was not been used to that extend. We must never forget those who programmed bitcoins because they did a really great work.

I’ve done quite a bit of research, but I’m unable to find who registered bitcoin.com first,if anyone has better luck than me , please let me know. Since 2014 it’s been owned by Roger Ver or at least a company associated with him

Been a while since I checked back here, looks like there's enough to keep this thread alive, maybe when it's almost fully populated, I'd be willing to host somethiing nicely done up with graphics (again something similar to the timeline from the original historyofbitcoin website).

Here is 1 interesting tidbit I want to contribute, we should also have a vote to see if some items are worthier than others, since this shares the same date as Halving Day in 2012!

28 Nov 2018 https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sm556
The US government sanctions two bitcoin addresses, identifying them as being associated with two Iranian individuals accused of facilitating "Malicious Cyber Activity".

 Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency that was introduced by the year 2009 by an unknown person or group named by Satoshi Nakamoto still his identity is remained a mystery .The  .Bitcoin is a peer to peer electronic cash system The Block chain technology   verifies the transaction records of.Bitcoin.. Even though bitcoin was introduced by 2009 it was only mined and  not traded till 2010 .By 2010 somebody sold Bitcoin for buying pizza and that was the first trading, from that transaction on wards  the popularity of Bitcoin increased  and the idea of decentralization inspiring  other alternative crypto currencies to appear.

starting from something so simple and worthless now bitcoin is becoming a force in the global financial system. Bitcoin has gained trust from the public and this is something that is worthy of appreciation. I am so happy when I see many people who feel comfortable when using bitcoin. Bitcoin is revolutionary and Bitcoin will make an amazing new history.

Wow this is really helpful to us and that’s really nice to see how deeply you searched about bitcoin, it is remarkable increase in price with every year and having this mush potential is not possible for any coin now a day, this is enough for new investors to like and invest in bitcoin for such amazing performance year by year.

I agree. This thread will help most especially to newcomers that knows nothing about the history of Bitcoin. I personally don't even know much but I made a research that is why I have knowledge about Bitcoin and I keep on reading important things here in this forum regarding Bitcoin. The pizza thing is the most popular story I've heard ever since I get into the crypto community aside from security breaches.

There is nothing to worry about, because bitcoin will continue to grow year after year, if you feel bitcoin is now down. Take a look at 5 years ago how the price of bitcoin was very low and see now how it grew, so wait for growth next year.
The history of bitcoin is good enough to predict, but don't worry

From Bitcoin.it (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Controlled_supply#Projected_Bitcoins_Long_Term):
On May 18, 2011 (1 year after Pizza Day), a miner mined a 49.99999999 BTC block (https://www.blockchain.com/btc/block/0000000000004c78956f8643262f3622acf22486b120421f893c0553702ba7b5).
On December 30, 2017, a miner lost the 12.5 BTC block reward (https://www.blockchain.com/btc/block/0000000000000000004b27f9ee7ba33d6f048f684aaeb0eea4befd80f1701126) to fees.

Indeed bitcoin has strong background and it has been in market since long it will be there forever, it grows with time and we will have to look at the perfect time to invest and for selling, last year in 2018 price was low those who bought at low price are now holding and will sell at high price in 2019 as we can see price already has started to rise.

Amazing historical compilation of bitcoin you where really detailed in searching out archive facts about bitcoin
I know it would be helpful to the community especially the newbies

The development of bitcoin in my opinion is very extraordinary, considering that ten years ago when it was created the price was only enough to buy pizza, now it costs thousands of dollars for one bitcoin. So do not see the development of bitcoin prices every day, but must be in a certain period of time, for example every year.
It is certainly not fair to link the decline in bitcoin prices lately with the destruction that seems to be going on with this digital currency, even though this in my opinion is only a price cycle that is sure to overwrite any business field. So be patient and believe that bitcoin will be successful again.

This is history but with each passing year I have seen bitcoin rising and getting value, I think it will not take so long to have profit and benefits from it, mining, trading, investing makes bitcoin more valuable for investors and it makes good history for passing years, long ago it was not having the value it has right now.

Ok this is funny. Something that came from Bitcoin is the "true" Bitcoin? Yeah makes sense. Seems like the logical thought process of a certain group of people i sadly know.

That is an interesting fact since i'm sure a lot of people inside the community not really know that, especially since the sites are pretty much alike. That is precisely the way how phishing works, making an alike site and done. Person deceived.

Great history thanks for sharing such knowledgeable information with us. Bitcoin's history was really impressive and mind blowing. Every person is aware that bitcoin's price increase every year. But in the end of 2017 bitcoins really disappoint us. But now its start showing the real potential and the market is now really do blow our mind again .I just want to see bright future of bitcoin

Given the initial journey of bitcoin, ten years ago bitcoin was nothing and the bitcoin owner was nobody. Everything is just hope and dream to be able to make bitcoin a digital currency. That fact came when the first time Bitcoin was able to buy pizza and it was like a broken egg, so the impact was extraordinary.
The most spectacular result is when December 18, 2017 the price of bitcoin reached USD19,055 and observers who were always pessimistic and criticized bitcoin were surprised. Because with such high prices, it has been proven that bitcoin is the most expensive currency in the world. Although the price is slowly decreasing, bitcoin as a digital currency has shown tremendous potential for the future, especially blockchain technology and the implementation of peer to peer transactions.

I just want to ask you about the history of bitcoin. is it true that blackmarket is the reason behind the creation of bitcoin? I heard this news somewhere!

thanks for the info, it is really beneficial to all of us since we are very interested in Bitcoin

This is somehow got my interest. It is a very long post but have a very interesting and truly a Bitcoin history and a fact for each day we have our lives together with the Bitcoin.

This information is very satisfied for me to know the history of bitcoin, I always read information about bitcoin on websites, but after reading this I learned to really know the history of bitcoin, I will keep this information for me to read it repeatedly to be true understand.

Those were some of the few things you have missed for now that I saw. I am so sleepy tho I am so sorry I will just continue adding more tomorrow.

By the way, I find this source for your project more reliable or it is the most recent than the source you have might as well consider using this for reference

https://en.bitcoinwiki.org/wiki/Bitcoin_history

I’m surprise there’s no details about Wikileaks affairs with bitcoin, I think it’s one of the very important timeline in the bitcoin history.

Hello everyone, I found here such an interesting (https://neironix.io/news/researches/what_are_the_richest_bitcoin_addresses_and_where_does_the_exchange_work) article on the status of bitcoin wallets. Perhaps useful information for fixing for some historical moments of the Bitcoin community.

Over time, the number of facts will increase and something important will happen every day.
