On This Day in Bitcoin History
1998 - Wei Dai released his b-money proposal which was referenced in Bitcoin's creation by Satoshi Nakamoto
Wei Dai is renowned for theorizing b-money, a precursor to Bitcoin, which he proposed in a 1998 paper. Although he never developed a working prototype, b-money outlined a system with features later seen in Bitcoin, including computational work, a public ledger, cryptographic hash-based authentication, digital currency rewards, and community verification.
These elements made b-money a foundational concept in digital currency. While initially a theoretical idea, Dai’s work resurfaced in 2008 when cryptographer Adam Back, after being contacted by Bitcoin’s creator Satoshi Nakamoto, directed Nakamoto to Dai’s b-money concept, influencing Bitcoin’s development.
