'The Bitcoin History Book' in Progress (RELEASE: September 2024)

[Tyke]

For those who don't know me, I work as a warehouse operative (working class person). I don't aspire to succeed much as an employee, but rather strive to be creative as an individual person. The Bitcoin history book is what I devote significant amounts of time to, aiming to create something special for the community (completed book will be on Amazon in SEPTEMBER 2024!!!).  It is the main avenue through which I am exercising my intelligence and diligence.

I know most people in the community would rather hodl their crypto wealth, but isn't it wise to support community effort. All I seek is donations to aid my effort to create a detailed BTC history book. Please show generosity I once knew the community was renowned for in the early years. I look forward to your messages and feedback. I won't give up the task.

UPDATE 06/05/2024

Happy to announce that 2017-2020 history chapters almost finished:










UPDATE 01/04/2024

As promised, here is the PDF document showing chapters 2008/09 to 2016 (still have the summary pages to complete):

I will strive to finish the chapters for 2017 to 30th June 2024 (nearly 50% complete) by this summer.  Please show generosity and donate to help me complete the Bitcoin History 2008-2024 book by 12th September 2024:

With sufficient help, I know the book will be completed by September 2024.  Thank you in advance for your support and feedback.

UPDATE 03/03/2024:

Nearly completed Bitcoin history book chapters documenting 2018 & 2019 milestones:



UPDATE 07/02/2024:

I've completed history chapters covering 2008 to 2017 (pages 44 to 187 - 144 pages).

2017 Chapter:



I will complete 2018 and 2019 before the end of February 2024.

Who is still interested?

UPDATE 07/01/2024:

There is an opportunity for 10 people to have their own personal page in the book!

For 0.01 BTC, on a first come first serve basis, one person is allowed to purchase just one page.  I invite you to write about your journey with Bitcoin (your participation, best memories, successes, failures etc.). Feel free to include photos.

I have opened the book up for these 10 pages to gain community insights and experience.

If interested, please contact me. The price has been set relatively high to deter too many entries.  

UPDATE 26/12/2023:

As a way to help me complete 'The Bitcoin History Book 2008-2024' by September 2024, I seek community support.  

If you you would like your full name (or alias) in the book (will be listed on page 6 onwards), please private message me your name and donate at least $5 (crypto equivalent) towards my efforts.  Donation addresses are in the OP. Thank you in advance.

P.S. With sufficient support, I am the type of person who knuckles down and is totally determined.  Please trust me!


UPDATE 04/12/2023:


For of all, thank you to all those who have commented on this thread including useful feedback.  It is motivating and helps me to assess progress.  I have nearly completed the first draft of 8 chapters covering 2008-2016 (see draft preview, some pages removed) immediately below.  The Bitcoin yearly history chapters begin on page 44 after introductory and other BTC related

To be honest, I am slightly baffled about the lack of generosity from the community.  Countless time and energy has been put into it so far, and I am determined to write draft pages for 2017-end June 2024 next year.  I'm far from a greedy person (live in a small terrace house with terrible heating and an abomination of a garden) who continuously loves to learn and work hard.  Moreover, I turn down overtime at work in favour of writing this book.  If you can, please donate:

THE BITCOIN HISTORY BOOK 2008-2024



Please retweet, like & support: https://twitter.com/CryptoBooksAlt/status/1728851987247386961

For one year, I've been researching and writing about the full 2008-2024 Bitcoin history.  I plan to self-publish a 300 A4 page book (colour interior) on Amazon by September 2024.  It will cover all major Bitcoin milestones from inception of the blockchain to the end of June 2024.  I've spent countless hours collating and presenting relevant history by writing 16 page yearly chapters. Below is a link showing a preview of what has already
(history chapters begin on page 44)

Besides the above, a preliminary front cover for the book as been designed:

If you like (or impressed by) the progress made so far, please comment below by leaving constructive feedback.  I've been part of the Bitcoin/crypto community for over 10 years.  Distributed ledger technology has never left my radar since I discovered Bitcoin back in March 2013.  The Bitcoin History Book 2008-2024 will be my contribution to legacy, as well as newbie, members of the community.

Please contact me if you would like to support the book via donations, sponsorships or otherwise.  I will continue to strive towards completing the book by September 2024.

Thank you for reading (don't forget to click on the Google Drive link in order to read the current book interior).  It is a draft at the moment!

I will read this and get back to you.

So I am on page 56 and you flashed back to 2007 from say 2009 not sure it is a smooth transit to do that. I will read some more and get back.

[robelneo]

Probably one of the best e-book I've stumble and is surprisingly free the chronological is well organized, and it brings back the best memory of when Bitcoin was being developed and promoted while reading I was wondering where was I during those times I'm sure some of us here wish that they have stumbled Bitcoin on its earlier stage.
The community owes you for compiling and creating this, this is not easy I just cannot imagine the hours you've spent.

I plan to self-publish a 300 A4 page book (colour interior) on Amazon by September 2024.  It will cover all major Bitcoin milestones from inception of the blockchain to the end of June 2024.  

This is a rather long waiting period, but I will certainly look for this book for my collection.

I remember that you wrote about this earlier, I'm glad that you still continued to add new and improve old content.

[philipma1957]

Yeah I currently donate to talkimg as it allows us to post images on bitcointalk

I am going to add  this forum to my donation list today. I got a bit busy over the weekend and did not put in any btc to the op as of right now.

edit I just sent 0.001 btc to

and assess if I can continue in Jan 2024 as it depends on my mining partnership

[Tyke]

I want to read this book but where can i find it i can't find it here in our library i really want to read this book.

There is a link in the OP. It is only a current draft and incomplete.

[WillyAp]

Great content, a bit unorganized, usually 2011 ends and 2012 starts, in the book 2011 comes back and back again.

[yhiaali3]

An absolutely wonderful work. You deserve all thanks and appreciation for the great effort you put into this wonderful book.

I quickly browsed through the book to take a look. I found the book's format to be very good, rich with information and illustrative images in a way that provides a lot of interesting information without making the reader bored as a result of the book's long pages.

It is true that the history of Bitcoin is not far away, but it is full of major events that deserve to be documented, so it is not easy at all to compile this large amount of information accumulated during all those years.

I will try to read part of it whenever I have some time. I repeat my admiration for the book, and thank you.

[joker_josue]

First of all, I want to congratulate you on the initiative, if it is well prepared I think it is something that has everything it needs to be successful.

Well, I didn't read everything, because being in English it would take a while.

But, from what I've seen, I think the book's layout could be improved. In some parts it seems somewhat confusing. So, I would suggest, if possible, taking a less orange approach (I really like this color), and having a "cleaner", simpler timeline that makes reading easier. This is because, currently, you don't see the difference between the points you want to highlight and the rest.

Therefore, I think I could try to improve this page layout a little, it would certainly make things even more interesting.

[moneystery]

unfortunately my browser can't load many pages, maybe because this pdf format is not supported on my browser, but later i will try to download it and read it on my pc.

but as others have said, i can say that this is the best e-book that documents various events in the world of bitcoin in a fairly complete and easy-to-read way for readers. if there is someone who wants to see various events in the world of bitcoin, recommending this e-book to them would be the best thing because all the details are written concisely and clearly. good job.

There are a lot of existing e-book about Bitcoin but the majority of these are general information about Bitcoin and some about prediction and potential this is the only e-book I've found so far that explores Bitcoin's complete history from the beginning its still incomplete and on draft but once completed its worth reading and going to be a trip down memory lane.

Will we have a succeeding edition like 2022 onwards because the Crypto community is very dynamic there's always something new events coming in and will this continue to be free, this is a great contribution for the community and worth reading for those coming in.

You should be able to view it if your browser supports it, not to mention it uses Google Drive to host the file. If what you mean can't load many pages is there are some pages with no content, I'm sure it is because OP is still making a draft and not the final book. Even I got the same "problem", and some formatting is just a mess whether I use my laptop or mobile. I'm pretty sure OP will focus on the formatting when there is enough content or the publishing time comes closer.

I have a pc with a large ssd and a lot of ram I fully downloaded it to look at it at my leisure.

If is better if you fully downloaded it. But I understand that many devices cant handle that much bandwidth.

Here is the latest post (tweet) on X:

https://twitter.com/CryptoBooksAlt/status/1718719008285897149

128 A4 pages cover Bitcoin history from inception to the end of 2016.  Segregated Witness code was introduced into the Bitcoin protocol on 27th October 2016 with the release of v0.13.1. 

Who remembers Bitcoin in 2016?  Please say which milestones you think were key for Bitcoin in 2016 below.

[airbin]

It's a story that needs to be told in every way possible, not once, if a thousand times. I hope it meets its release date.

For the physical book you have thought about how to distribute it for those who want to keep the "romance" of anonymity...

[Eclipse33]

This book is gold, thank you for your contribution to bitcoin!

This could probably become the best resource e-book about the history of Bitcoin, but after you finish your work you should create a thread on an appropriate section of this forum, possibly for beginners, and help, many of us here even if they part of this forum do not know the full history of Bitcoin, I could myself as one, I hope your coming announcement about your e-book will be pinned so many can discover this.

Tyke,

Keep pushing, this book is pure genius and represents some of the most valuable information I have seen on the origins of bitcoin. Some of the early information is pure gold. The bit about "netcoin.org" is beyond interesting. Just imagine if Satoshi choose netcoin as the name of his network instead.

This is a manuscript that must be written and distributed accordingly.

For one year, I've been researching and writing about the full 2008-2024 Bitcoin history.  I plan to self-publish a 300 A4 page book (colour interior) on Amazon by September 2024.  It will cover all major Bitcoin milestones from inception of the blockchain to the end of June 2024.  I've spent countless hours collating and presenting relevant history by writing 16 page yearly chapters. Below is a link showing a preview of what has already been put together:

Besides the above, a preliminary front cover for the book as been designed:

Allow me to ask, why did you set the date 2008-2024 and not 2023?

Are you thinking about creating the book in digital format only, or also in paper format?

[Tyke]

I will say congratulations on your project. When I see things of this nature that promotes the community I usually have his joy in me that people are really not just here for some pay or something else but to make remarkable things, just as I wish to do some day.

I haven't had enough time to read through your research compilation but will surely do, and I will also make a review of it if possible to help you find faults that needs to be fixed before publication.

A new development of this nature surely needs to be more appreciated but I believe it will come when your finally done with it.
Once again congratulations Tyke.

Thank you for pointing out that I am contributing greatly to Bitcoin. It would be encouraging to see more support in terms of donations, because it is taking countless hours, resources and energy to drive the book towards the finish line. If anyone in the community can help, please donate by first messaging me here. Your name will be included in the book.

On a personal note, there are times when I feel lethargic and fed up. Despite that, I keep finding the motivation to persist. Please support me if you can as I do my best to create something great.

I appreciate all praise from the Bitcoin community.

Asking the community for support is a good thing, as you are making an excellent compilation.

But it would also be good if you responded to the comments that the community makes about your work. Almost all of his posts are asking for donations, and saying that his work is hard - which is true. But, if you want to involve the community, give feedback on the community's observations.

[Tyke]

Allow me to ask, why did you set the date 2008-2024 and not 2023?

Are you thinking about creating the book in digital format only, or also in paper format?

The book covers Bitcoin history from 18th August 2008 to 30th June 2024. It will be checked during the summer ready for self-publication in September 2024. The book will be available digitally, and in paperback/hardcover formats.

One of the reasons I do not reply to all questions or comments is I am mostly pressed for time. I do read all replies

[Tyke]

I hope community members donate towards my efforts. It will help enormously towards completing the book in September 2024. I cannot quantify how many hours it will take until then, but I am committed to spend as much of my free time as possible. Thank you in advance.

I don't know how much you covered crime, but if you have a chapter on corruption, I can provide quite of bit of evidence in Theymos and OG's own posts.   I could possibly get you $ help with some scam charities.  (Don't get excited OG, they support scam victims   )

[Pmalek]

I don't know why, but I have always liked when the books I read begin with an extra large letter for the first word in a new section.
For instance, your first section titled Registration of the bitcoin.org Domain Name begins with From late 2007 to 2009...
Instead of that, I would prefer From late 2007 to 2009...
I obviously don't expect you to make that change. Just providing some feedback on what I find more visually appealing.

Nah I'll pass on that.  I don't find it appealing, and it will effect some of the page layouts (text boxes will expand with lower page text boxes without adequate space).  I treat every page as a work of art.

[Vod]

I doubt your book will be of interest to many people.   People outside this forum see this as a scammer's paradise, and if you are not covering any scams, they probably won't be interested.

As for community members, only a few have made it worth their while here.   The community mantra is HODL.

I understand. It was worth a shot.
Once the book is finished, will it only be available in physical form as a hardcover or have you thought about releasing it as an e-book as well? You know how bitcoiners and members of this community are about their privacy and not sharing their personal information (including addresses) with anyone.

Still seeking book sponsors and people/groups who want their name mentioned in the book.

[Tyke]

More feedback would be much appreciated...

[Vod]

More feedback would be much appreciated...

Did you ask LoyceV or Ninja for copies of forum posts?   You could run it through AWS ML (free) to produce all kinds of meta data.   Again, this will broaden the appeal.

No one feeling generous this Christmas? The book preview in the OP is effectively around 1/3 of the final pages (300 A4 page book). If you found the early Bitcoin history useful, please donate a small amount towards my efforts to complete all other pages.

Thank you

As a way to help me complete 'The Bitcoin History Book 2008-2024' by September 2024, I seek community support.  

If you you would like your full name (or alias) in the book (will be listed on page 6 onwards), please private message me your name and donate at least $5 (crypto equivalent) towards my efforts.  Donation addresses are in the OP. Thank you in advance.

P.S. With sufficient support, I am the type of person who knuckles down and is totally determined.  Please trust me!


Please state which events in 2023 stood out for you. Has it been as eventful as previous years? I look forward to your replies  

[Vod]

I think I understand the disconnect here.

You are an artist; you take pride in your work and your value is in the art itself.  This community (even outside this forum) is primarily here to earn profit with crypto.   They do not value the art..  They only care if they can resell for a profit.

You could make your project more appealing by putting each book on a blockchain, or putting some coin behind a hologram at the back.   

[Tyke]

UPDATE 07/01/2024:

There is an opportunity for 10 people to have their own personal page in the book!

For 0.01 BTC, on a first come first serve basis, one person is allowed to purchase just one page.  I invite you to write about your journey with Bitcoin (your participation, best memories, successes, failures etc.). Feel free to include photos.

I have opened the book up for these 10 pages to gain community insights and experience.

If interested, please contact me. The price has been set relatively high to deter too many entries.

UPDATE 07/02/2024:

I've completed history chapters covering 2008 to 2017 (pages 44 to 187 - 144 pages).

2017 Chapter:



I will complete 2018 and 2019 before the end of February 2024.

Who is still interested?

Please let me know where to get this book or is it available in pdf file online if pdf file is available please give me the link.  Because I have been looking for this book for a long time but couldn't find it but today I noticed that you posted this post and I feel very lucky to see your post.  Because I've been looking for this book for almost a year but can't find it like James.  Because I have heard from many people about Buddhists and one of my older brother has said a lot that this book contains all the history of Bitcoin.  Many people who put 4-5 coins or 4000 bitcoins in Bitcoin in 2008 are now.  Owner of billions of rupees.

It will be completed by September 2024.

Just dropping in to find out who is still interested in the Bitcoin history book. I'm currently putting together pages related to 2019 milestones and achievements. It is taking me longer than expected, but I think the September 2024 completion date is feasible.

Please read the opening post, and then consider supporting me as I aim for completion. I'm more determined than ever to get over the finish line.

Well if you carefully read the OP post, you will find the link to the book

Well, just my idea why don't you publish this book on different social media platforms and get a payment for this to be downloaded? Maybe you can have a website of your own where you may sell this book.
Yes, it's good that you are giving this book free of cost to everyone on bitcointalk but there is no harm if you charge for it outside this forum.

[Tyke]

I will think about how the book is published soon. There is only myself writing this 300 A4 page book! Thank you for commenting.

Nearly completed Bitcoin history book chapters documenting 2018 & 2019 milestones:

[Tyke]

Currently consolidating Bitcoin history from 2008 to 2019 by reading print-outs. If I have missed any important information, it is ample opportunity to find out.

Once the above is done, 2020 to 2023 is next.

I won't be showing book interiors from now on. The book will hopefully be on sale in September 2024.

[Tyke]

Chapters covering 2008 to 2016 (128 A4 pages) 100% complete.

Chapters covering 2017 to 30th June 2024 (122 A4 pages) about 50% complete.

I am willing to post the full 2008 to 2016 chapters in PDF format if the community collectively donates

0.0992845 BTC to

bc1qktyzg2atx5paka2x64pxdwg54u7m2yn3cu2qxy

Countless hours (most likely 1,000 hours or more) have been spent writing the aforementioned period.

Full book will be released on 12th September 2024!

[Tyke]

I will release the Bitcoin History book chapters 2008 to 2016 (pages 50 to 177) at around 23:00 UTC tonight.  The only pages incompleted are the chapter summary pages, which will be written when all other pages are done.

I hope the community will show generosity, because I have chosen to freely release 128 pages. I've spent countless hours putting it together, and know how special Bitcoin history is.

I look forward to all your comments about the above imminent release.

Happy Easter

I've decided to show the chapters:

I hope the Bitcoin community shows some generosity.

[Vod]

Tyke, I like your determination, even though it may be blind.  :/

I'd like to see you get some reward for your efforts though - have you thought about selling each page for maybe $1 and then rewarding a full book with $1.50 a page?   You control it by making a limited number of certain  pages, and you can make $ by giving yourself a % of each automated trade.    Of course, you'd have to put the pages on a blockchain.   Combine your talent with your audience's passion.

[Tyke]

As promised, here is the PDF document showing chapters 2008/09 to 2016 (still have the summary pages to complete):

Thank you for putting in the effort to prepare this book, I can understand and empathise with your frustration of not receiving donations. The difficulty is that people if given the option of having something for free, will not pay for it. I would recommend you consider getting some professional artwork done, and then selling the book to order on Amazon to assist with generating sales. You have obviously put in a tireless amount of effort, so you might be feeling underappreciated, but we live in a world where being a creative does not satisfy you monetarily, only for purpose and passion.

I would recommend you consider getting some professional artwork done

Bad advice to spend money on something that will not increase value.

Nothing wrong with OP artwork, and the draw for this book will not be for the artwork.

Thank you for your comments. I think the book cover is simple and sufficient.

Bitcoin history pages from inception to October 2018 fully complete. I anticipate 2008-2019 complete this month.

Other yearly chapters are currently in annotatee draft format. I look forward to finishing 2020-2023 by the end of June 2024.

Please send feedback on the 2008-2016 content, and don't forget to support my efforts (read opening post). I will do my utmost, whilst working full-time hours for my day job, to finish the book in the summer.

Thank you to all those who have already donated to the book. All your names/aliases will be listed in the book.

[Tyke]

Great news!

I'm still making constructive progress.  Currently I'm completing chapter 2019, which I hope will be finished within the next week.  

The screenshots are thumbnails of pages 178 to 214 covering January 2017 to March 2019:

Please support the book if you can.  There is only myself who has spent over one year writing it.  

P.S. If you donate at least US$10, you will have your name/alias listed in the book!

Have you asked Theymos?  Most people here donated to him, expecting him to support bitcoin projects like he said.

Currently putting together 'The Bitcoin History Book' 2008-2024 chapter covering 2020 milestones:



I think I'll still on course to complete the book by September 2024.  It seems that the next four months are going to be challenging due to limited time and financial resources.  

If you don't know, you can have your name/alias listed in the book for at least US$10 (see donation addresses in OP).  Over ten have already been listed, thank you.

Happy to announce that 2017-2020 history chapters almost finished:

[Kakmakr]

Where will the eBook be released, once it is finished? This is obviously not going to be a FREE book.. right?

I have read some of it and I am looking forward to seeing the end product. Good luck... hope everything goes well with the final release.
