Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency founded in 2008 by a mysterious pseudonym character or developer group called Satoshi Nakamoto.
On 18 August 2008 the domain Bitcoin.org was registered. Later that year on 31 October the whitepaper for Bitcoin was released. This whitepaper instructed how the peer-to-peer electronic cash system worked.
The whole Bitcoin runs on decentralized computers (called miners) who verify the contents of each Bitcoin wallet and the transactions. Still in 2022, nobody knows the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. There are many guesses about the matter but nothing more.
