History of Bitcoin

[mizerydearia]

Is anyone willing to start and establish a "History of Bitcoin" wiki page?  It would be interesting to document notable events as they happened.
The content at http://www.bitcoin.org/wiki/doku.php?id=incidents could be integrated into a fully documented history of Bitcoin-related events.

I added some information on the "OP_RETURN" bug that triggered the 0.3.5 release (and that we weren't talking about because we didn't want it to get exploited on the main network before people had a chance to upgrade).

If there is to be a history, I hope people fill in some of the "standard history stuff" as well as a droll listing of security events.  When did satoshi generate the first bitcoin?  What events (ie. slashdotting) triggered large influxes of new users?  When did the first bitcoin-denominated businesses appear?  etc.

This wiki page was just for reference.  I suggest creating a "History of Bitcoin" specific wiki page for documenting the history.

On the 12 september 2010 em3rgentOrdr sent me the first bitcoin to an address I embedded into a qr code I had posted in a forum thread. Does that count?

Can you imagine a Hollywood movie about Bitcoin? Well, I can. And I think we'll see it sooner or later.
It will be a spectacular moment for the whole community.

It's so exciting about the beginning of a bitcoin trip that costs so little and is not much in demand, but what we see today is the opposite.

[TepungBeras]

Bitcoin travel is a lot of twists, but it goes well and has a good impact on the development of the world economy and turns many people about poverty.

Bitcoin has a history of about 9.5 years, indeed it has been a long time. Bitcoin, which started to be recognized especially in 2011, will stay with us for at least a quarter century.

The Bitcoin software is made available to the public for the first time and mining – the process through which new Bitcoins are created and transactions are recorded and verified on the blockchain

Bitcoin is a digital currency created in 2009, but does not know who the founder of this currency. Satoshi Nakamoto is the one who allegedly invented the digital currency. The name has something to do with the open and Bitcoin-designed software.

Looking at the network is very different from other payment systems, using peer-to-peer networks. Where using this network is not centralized storage / main administrator, therefore Bitcoin is not controlled by the government because bitcoin embraces decentralization system.

Bitcoin is a digital currency started in 2009 by a mystery figure named Satoshi Nakamoto, whose true identity is still unknown.There are also bitcoin ATMs, which allow for bitcoin to be exchanged for cash and vice versa, in London, Bristol, Brighton and Glasgow.Nearly a decade ago, Satoshi Nakamoto started mining the first bitcoins.The History of Bitcoin is a timeline that illustrates Bitcoin History from the very beginning all the way to present day.
