On 31st October 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto officially introduced Bitcoin White paper to the general public as a pair to pair electronic cash system
This crypto currency has come a long way from being a digital experiment to now becoming a global sensation
Although the date of the white paper announcement is important, Bitcoin began with the mining of the first block, which is when the network started and continues to operate to this day. 16 years is a very long time, but when compared to many technologies, we are still in the early days.
