TD₿: Satoshi's Original Email Thread by Satoshi Nakamoto
TL;DR Read the moment in history when Satoshi gifted Bitcoin to the world and the responses that followed.
Hey Bitcoiners,
Happy Birthday, Bitcoin!
It is incredible to think how far Bitcoin has come since Satoshi Nakamoto introduced it to the world on this day 13 years ago.
That was when the Genesis Block was first mined by Satoshi and the rest, as they say, is history.
Bitcoin has grown from a tiny project being discussed on a mailing list to now being at the center of global finance and politics being discussed in Congress.
It’s days like today where I like to look back and appreciate all of the work that has gone into making Bitcoin what it is today.
There’s no better place to start than looking at the original email thread where Satoshi announced a “new electronic cash system that’s fully peer-to-peer with no trusted third party” (11/01/2008).
Every birthday Bitcoin sees makes it more likely to see the next one, and I can’t wait to see what Bitcoin accomplishes in its teenage years.
Tick tock next block,
