Bitcoin, a cryptocurrency that uses cryptography to control its creation and management, was invented by Satoshi Nakamoto. Prior to Bitcoin, there were several digital cash technologies, but Nakamoto’s integration of existing cryptographic ideas led to the birth of this groundbreaking digital currency. On January 3, 2009, Nakamoto mined the genesis block of Bitcoin, which marked the official launch of the blockchain. This initial block, with a reward of 50 bitcoins, laid the foundation for the entire system. Interestingly, the embedded text in the genesis block reads: “The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks,” referencing a headline from The Times published on that date12. Since then, Bitcoin has evolved into a significant store of value both online and offline, and its use as a currency began in 2009 with the release of its open-source implementation3. #Bitcoin❗ #BinanceLaunchpool #learntoearnmay #FIT21 #satoshiGiftCards
