About Bitcoin

In August 2008, the domain name bitcoin.org was registered. On 31st October 2008, a paper was published called “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System”. This was authored by Satoshi Nakamoto, the inventor of Bitcoin. To date, no one knows who this person, or people, are.

The paper outlined a method of using a P2P network for electronic transactions without “relying on trust”. On 3rd January 2009, the Bitcoin network came into existence. Nakamoto mined block number “0” (or the “genesis block”) which had a reward of 50 Bitcoins.

Bitcoin is the first, the leading and the biggest cryptocurrency in the world. It’s so significant that if we look at the market capitalisation of the Top 10 cryptocurrencies (as of 3rd September 2018), almost 63% of the £201bn total value is made up of Bitcoin.
