Can you or anyone explain how/where the bitcoin was published? How people began to hear/use? Like some kind of advertising in forums or whatever...
I never read how it has spread in the beginning...
BEFORE october 2008 distributed finance was being discussed, this was done via cypherpunks and sourceforge and IRC. for years different ways to find a solution to a problem of finance without the need of corporations of government were being talked and discussed.
there were hundreds of different ways, but each had its flaws. but then atleast 10 security features that when combined in the fashion they were, became bitcoin.
in october a white paper was released to show a concept of how those 10 features were brought together in such a way that it just made logical sense that it actually achieved what everyone desired.
between november-december 2008 a very rough implementation was created privately and on january 9th the first block was created and several people got involved. hal finney was there alongside satoshi on day one. and within a couple weeks half a dozen people were debugging it and expanding it
within six months a couple dozen and within a year more kept joining.
and then this forum was created in november 2009 to concentrate all the talk into one place

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_bitcoinas for trying to escalate adam back into some god.
adam back failed to achieve anything. he did not even help bitcoin. it was satoshi that put the puzzle pieces together where others have failed and it was not until 2013 before adam back came to the bitcoin community to make a bank funded corporation to try to over emphasise his concept to pretend he was involved from day one.
yes satoshi used his idea along with other idea's from other people. but that should not make adam back lord of bitcoin.
its much like saying the person that invented the wheel should be treated as the lord and saviour of cars. even though the wheel inventor had no input into the combustion engine or the road infrastructure. or even directly hand crafted the exact wheel for the first car or even any vehicle for 4 years. it was just his open concept that someone else hand crafted.
then adam back jumped on stage 4 years later not to show what he done in the car industry. but to announce a new tire company.
