The origin of bitcoin

The birth of Bitcoin is very legendary. On October 31, 2008, a man named Nakamoto, whose English name was Satoshi Nakamoto, published an essay in a cryptographic mailing group entitled 'A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System'.

The original English text of this essay is worth reading because it is very concise and very short, that is, 89 pages of paper, but all the important concepts and algorithms have been clearly stated and those who are interested can learn more.

In addition to publishing a dissertation, Mr. Nakamoto made a clear statement of the principles of Bitcoin, and he himself put it into practice. Satoshi Nakamoto came out with the bitcoin program in January 2009 and also made it open source. He dug up 50 bitcoins in the first block of Bitcoin, so he was also the first person in the world to dig up bitcoin. Moreover, he gave 10 bitcoins to the first person to download his bitcoin software, thus completing the first bitcoin transaction in the world.

It can be said that Nakamoto is the father of well-deigned Bitcoin. Because he not only laid down the principle of bitcoin, but also personally made the bitcoin, but also personally realized the digging of bitcoins and the transfer of bitcoin, the head is very perfect.

At the same time, Nakamoto also set up a website called bitcoin.org. The purpose of this site is to allow other programmers to work together to develop and discuss. So quickly, around the bitcoin has formed an increasingly large community, influence is also growing.
