Explored Bitcoin's Website Originating from Satoshi Nakamoto After 17 Years
Bitcoin, the world's first decentralised digital currency, was launched in 2009. The genesis block or block 0 of Bitcoin was mined by the pseudonymous creator(s) known as Satoshi Nakamoto. Since then, Bitcoin.org, a key platform for the Bitcoin community, has undergone significant changes.
Initially, Bitcoin.org was registered on August 18, 2008, by Satoshi Nakamoto and Martti Malmi. In the early days, the website was largely used to release new versions of Bitcoin Core software. During this period, Bitcoin was technically worthless, with one Bitcoin worth less than a cent in the United States.
In early 2010, one Bitcoin surpassed one dollar for the first time. By November 2011, Satoshi Nakamoto had exited the Bitcoin scene, leaving the development and maintenance of Bitcoin.org to members of the Bitcoin community. Since then, the website has been maintained by a group of volunteers and contributors from the Bitcoin community, rather than a single individual.
The first quarter of 2011 saw Bitcoin trading at less than a dollar, but by the end of the year, its value had increased significantly. In late 2017, the value of Bitcoin reached an all-time high of about $20,000. As of now, Bitcoin is trading at $115,650, having reached an all-time high of $124,457 on Aug. 14.
Throughout its history, Bitcoin.org has evolved to meet the needs of the growing community. From 2011 to 2013, the website primarily focused on software releases. In 2013, it was redesigned with more pages, additional software listings, and a translation system. In 2014, developer documentation was added to the site. Today, Bitcoin.org is an independent open source project with contributors from around the world.
Elsewhere in the Bitcoin world, Amsterdam-based cryptocurrency service provider Amdax plans to launch a Bitcoin treasury company on the Dutch stock exchange. These developments highlight the ongoing interest and investment in Bitcoin, a digital currency that has come a long way since its humble beginnings.
