Bitcoin is the first implementation of a concept called cryptocurrency, which was first described in 1998 by Wei Dai on the cypher point mailing list, which suggested the idea of ​​a new kind of money that uses cryptography to control its Creation and transactions, rather than a central authority. The first Bitcoin specification and proof-of-concept prototype was published in 2009 on a mailing list for cryptography by Satoshi Nakamoto. Satoshi left the project in late 2010 without revealing much about himself. The community has since grown exponentially with many developers working on Bitcoin.

Satoshi's anonymity has often raised unwarranted concerns, many of which can be brought together with misunderstanding of Bitcoin's open source code. Bitcoin protocols and software are published publicly, and any developer around the world can browse the code or make their own modified version of the Bitcoin software. As with current developers, Satoshi's influence was limited to the changes he made should be used by others, and therefore he was not in control of Bitcoin. As such, the identity of Bitcoins today is about as relevant as the identity of the person who invented the paper.
