Bitcoin turns 15: Tracing the journey of the first cryptocurrency
Satoshi starts the crypto revolution
For the anonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, there was no better time to introduce the world to this financial technology than when they were in celebration mode. Approximately 15 years ago, Satoshi introduced the Bitcoin whitepaper.
What is needed is an electronic payment system based on cryptographic proof instead of trust, allowing any two willing parties to transact directly with each other without the need for a trusted third party.
Last discussion and rising growth
For instance, on 10 December 2008, Satoshi sent an email welcoming a few users to the Bitcoin mailing list. However, it was not until 8 January 2009 that the inventor shared the codebase with the Bitcoin community.
Bitcoin spreads its wings across the board
In celebration of the blockchain’s 15th birthday, AMBCrypto spoke to some experts about the impact Bitcoin has had, and other subjects related to it. The first on the list was Robert Quartly-Janeiro.
