I think I am late by a day. However, happy (pregnancy) day Bitcoin! Thank you Satoshi Nakamoto for coming up with this crytpocurrency idea. Without your work eight years ago, I don't know what will I be doing on the internet today with no access to Paypal or Credit card at all.

not bitcoins birthday.

more so bitcoins conception date.

happy pregnancy day bitcoin.

birthday is in january

Can you or anyone explain how/where the bitcoin was published? How people began to hear/use? Like some kind of advertising in forums or whatever...

I never read how it has spread in the beginning...

BEFORE october 2008 distributed finance was being discussed, this was done via cypherpunks and sourceforge and IRC. for years different ways to find a solution to a problem of finance without the need of corporations of government were being talked and discussed.

there were hundreds of different ways, but each had its flaws. but then atleast 10 security features that when combined in the fashion they were, became bitcoin.
in october a white paper was released to show a concept of how those 10 features were brought together in such a way that it just made logical sense that it actually achieved what everyone desired.

between november-december 2008 a very rough implementation was created privately and on january 9th the first block was created and several people got involved. hal finney was there alongside satoshi on day one. and within a couple weeks half a dozen people were debugging it and expanding it

within six months a couple dozen and within a year more kept joining.
and then this forum was created in november 2009 to concentrate all the talk into one place

the rest is history

as for trying to escalate adam back into some god.
adam back failed to achieve anything. he did not even help bitcoin. it was satoshi that put the puzzle pieces together where others have failed and it was not until 2013 before adam back came to the bitcoin community to make a bank funded corporation to try to over emphasise his concept to pretend he was involved from day one.
yes satoshi used his idea along with other idea's from other people. but that should not make adam back lord of bitcoin.

its much like saying the person that invented the wheel should be treated as the lord and saviour of cars. even though the wheel inventor had no input into the combustion engine or the road infrastructure. or even directly hand crafted the exact wheel for the first car or even any vehicle for 4 years. it was just his open concept that someone else hand crafted.
then adam back jumped on stage 4 years later not to show what he done in the car industry. but to announce a new tire company.

Also do not forget Adam Back and the development of Hashcash which is where Bitcoin's proof of work derives from. For me proof of work is still the best method to achieve distributed consensus.

lol seems like you are buying into the blockstream rhetoric and closing your mind to bitcoins open non control.
i give you 6 months before you start praising adam back as your lord and savour and outright owner of bitcoin inc.

seriously.. you are falling down the wrong rabbit hole, and you will only be seeing central bank owned FIAT2.0 down that rabbit hole.

keep an open mind. dont be fooled by corporate promises of baiting decentralization while switching over to centralization behind the scenes

Thanks for this trivia and after reading this posts I am curious if its true an I ask Mr. Google. It turns October 31 is bitcins birthday and I may qoute below a post from foserfox.


Today is Bitcoin’s Birthday. Satoshi Nakamoto released the Bitcoin Whitepaper eight years ago today, on October 31, 2008.

At the time, many people who first read the paper became interested in the background technology, and several wanted to see it in a working state.

It seems very few knew that was going to happen.

Once Bitcoin launched in 2009, the biggest success story in digital money was launched. Satoshi launched Bitcoin as open source software so anyone could use it, fork it and update it. At first, the early adopters were mainly from the cryptography community like Hal Finney, the recipient of the very first bitcoin transaction.

bitcoin market cap on Bitcoin's BirthdayNick Szabo and Wei Dai were also early adopters, with Szabo having developed “bit gold” prior to the Bitcoin whitepaper’s release. Wei Dai is the creator of b-money another precursor to Bitcoin.

Bitcoin’s adoption was a steady progress as more people began to find out about it and experiment with everything from forking and making their own coins to mining technology.

Happy Birthday Bitcoin! You changed many lives and gives opportunity to many people on this planet.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step". Laozi

Change can come in many forms in our lives. It might come forcefully, or creep along incrementally.
On October 31st 2008 the Bitcoin white paper A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System had been released by Satoshi Nakamoto.
If that never happened, none of us would be here.
A journey of a thousand miles began with that very single step.
Most of us are here for different reasons but I want to say the most simple words once more to Satoshi:
thank you

Take care and never show up or reveal yourself.

Oh, by the way, Happy Birthday BTC BITCOIN BTC
