15 years ago Satoshi Nakamoto registered the Internet domain Bitcoin.org, at a time when the entire world was unaware that this fact was the prelude to the launch of a discovery with the power to change the trajectory of the future of humanity.
On August 18, 2008, a person or group of them used the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto to register the domain of the website that subsequently became a point of reference for the community revolving around Bitcoin, as it has remained until today.
This is how the Bitcoin.org website is part of the legacy left by Nakamoto before he disappeared on April 26, 2011, 12 years ago.
As the events unfolded, while the world was dealing with the financial crisis, resulting from the collapse of the real estate bubble in the United States, someone used the anonymousspeech.com service to purchase the Bitcoin.org domain anonymously.
The creator of the pioneering cryptocurrency may have thought of other alternatives to name his work. This is because just one day before, that is, on August 17, 2008, Nakamoto would have created the Netcoin domain, as CriptoNoticias previously reported.
Either way, by the time of domain registration, Satoshi was already aware that he had discovered a digital store of time and value, a fundamental proof-of-work base layer and fertile ground that he eventually called Bitcoin.
