Explore the fascinating story of Nick Szabo and his revolutionary idea Bit Gold. From 1998. He also single handedly invented Smart Contracts.

Hello there dear Bitcoin community and blockchain enthusiasts!
I've made the experience that, especially fuled by the rather recently extensive media coverage, there is a lot of curiousity out in the world to understand this mesmerizing new technology and to fathom it's potential consequences. Since so many people are really interested in getting to know more about blockchain, I've recently decided to start a blog project, called 'blockwhat?'. In it, I explore the fascinating worlds of distributed ledger technologies, with a special focus on blockchains.
To start of, the first series of articles focuses on the history before Bitcoin, in order to give people a sound understanding of the fascinating developments that took place prior to the advent of the first blockchain.
I've made the experience that even many people who are super involved in the new blockchain craze rarely have a deep and fact-based understanding of the history of this technology.
I'd love to humbly invite you to explore the mindblowlingly interesting history behind Bitcoin together with me(:
Here is the most recent article, that takes a thorough look at the "father" of digital money and one of the earliest privacy advocats, David Chaum:
