Title: Bitcoin and The Times newspaper Post by: Mbitr on May 18, 2020, 03:11:42 PM Well we all know the headline from The Times that was included in the Genesis block, but I’ve been researching when bitcoin first appeared in the actual newspaper .
The first mention of bitcoin in The Times appears to be in a 20 page supplement called Raconteur. This was included in the Times on 7th December 2011 The supplement is entitled The Future of Payments and the there is an article titled Paying: but not as we know it by Stephen Armstrong , which talks about bitcoin. https://i.imgur.com/6ys9jpb.jpg The Times 7th December 2011 Supplement- Raconteur - The Future of Payments Article - Paying : but not as we know it Author - Stephen Armstrong Full article here - https://www.raconteur.net/finance/tomorrows-vision-payments-but-not-as-we-know-it This is from The Times archives on the 6th December promoting the supplement for the next day https://i.imgur.com/p5MErHx.png The second mention of bitcoin is 3rd April 2012 page 12 Article - Drugs, guns and passports for sale on ‘Dark Web’ Author - Murad Ahmed https://i.imgur.com/gCjVzrF.jpg The Times2 supplement of that day carries 2 articles https://i.imgur.com/0Y8bh6O.png https://i.imgur.com/lFC0EXK.png Sorry if this appears a bit messy, but The Times Archives are a real pain !! If anyone has got any more info or if anything needs to be corrected , just let me know. AND if anyone can find a front page from either Times , please add.
