It is a very symbolic date! Today, October 31, 2025, marks exactly 17 years since the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto published the Bitcoin whitepaper.🧡
📜The Bitcoin Whitepaper
The document that marked the beginning of it all is called:
🔸Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System
🔸(Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System).
🔸Publication Date: October 31, 2008.
🔸Author: Satoshi Nakamoto (a pseudonym).
In essence, the nine-page whitepaper described a clever and elegant solution to the double-spending problem in digital money, using a decentralized public ledger (the blockchain) and proof of work (Proof-of-Work).
It was the roadmap to creating a currency that did not rely on banks or governments.
💡A bit of human context
It is fascinating to think how a PDF published on a cryptography mailing list 17 years ago has evolved into a global financial phenomenon worth trillions of dollars. At that time, it was just a technical idea, and the first real transaction (the famous "Bitcoin Pizza Day")🍕 would occur almost two years later.
If you are interested in reading the original document (which remains very relevant and surprisingly concise), it can be easily found online.
Would you like me to find you a link to the original whitepaper or perhaps a summary in Spanish of its key points?👇🏻
