Today, the crypto community is in a celebratory mood with a focus on financial freedom. Today marks 14 years since Satoshi Nakamoto released the Bitcoin Whitepaper. Since 2008, when Satoshi published a cryptography mailing list, some individuals have adhered to his beliefs. The Bitcoin Whitepaper advocated for the substitution of fiat currency with digital currency.
Bitcoin whitepaper withstands the test of time
Satoshi released the Bitcoin whitepaper on October 31, 2008, titled “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.” Bitcoin’s original intent was to create a peer-to-peer version of electronic cash. In addition, Bitcoin was designed to enable parties to send online payments directly to one another, bypassing financial institutions.
It is widely assumed that the Bitcoin whitepaper was written in response to the Wall Street Crash of 2007-2008. On November 1, 2008, just two months after the Lehman Crisis, Satoshi Nakamoto sent an email to a cryptography mailing list outlining the concept in a paper.
