In 2008, as the global economy was collapsing, a mysterious figure named Satoshi Nakamoto released a whitepaper titled "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System."
This wasn’t just another tech idea — it was a revolution. Bitcoin offered something radical: a decentralized, trustless financial system. No banks. No governments. Just code and consensus.
Launched in January 2009, Bitcoin's first block — the Genesis Block — carried a message:
"The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks."
A clear protest against traditional finance.
At first, only a niche group of cypherpunks and tech enthusiasts took notice. But slowly, the world began to wake up. Bitcoin was more than digital money — it was a statement.
The idea?
Money without middlemen. Freedom without permission.
That’s where it all began.
