Bitcoin, the first virtual money, was created in 2008 by Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin.org was registered as a domain name on August 18, 2008. The Bitcoin whitepaper, which covered P2P electronic money in great depth, was released on October 31 of that year.
Computers known as miners verify the data in each Bitcoin wallet as well as network transactions. But unfortunately, the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto is still a mystery in 2022. Despite the many hypotheses, nothing definitive has been found.
