Well we all know the headline from The Times that was included in the Genesis block, but I’ve been researching when bitcoin first appeared in the actual newspaper .

The first mention of bitcoin in The Times appears to be in a 20 page supplement called Raconteur. This was included in the Times on 7th December 2011

The supplement is entitled The Future of Payments and the there is an article titled Paying: but not as we know it by Stephen Armstrong , which talks about bitcoin.



The Times

Supplement- Raconteur - The Future of Payments
Article - Paying : but not as we know it
Author - Stephen Armstrong
Full article here -

This is from The Times archives on the 6th December promoting the supplement for the next day






The second mention of bitcoin is
3rd April 2012 page 12
Article - Drugs, guns and passports for sale on ‘Dark Web’
Author - Murad Ahmed




The Times2 supplement of that day carries 2 articles





Sorry if this appears a bit messy, but The Times Archives are a real pain !!

If anyone has got any more info or if anything needs to be corrected , just let me know.
AND if anyone can find a front page from either Times , please add. Thanks
