Bitcoin Boom: A Journey Through the Years of the Crypto Revolution

Bitcoin remains at the forefront of the crypto revolution, shaping the future of digital currency and challenging traditional financial systems.

Bitcoin is the world’s first decentralized cryptocurrency, introduced in 2008 by an individual or group under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. Launched officially in 2009, Bitcoin enables peer-to-peer transactions over the internet, removing the need for intermediaries like banks or governments. This digital currency operates using a public, distributed ledger called the blockchain, where transactions are recorded transparently and securely.

Alongside its financial uses, Bitcoin has spurred global discussions about money, privacy, and digital assets.

Bitcoin Mining?

  • Itโ€™s like a competition to solve a big puzzle. Whoever solves it first gets the prize (bitcoins).
  • Mining helps keep the Bitcoin network running and secure.

Bitcoin has a hard rule: there can never be more than 21 million bitcoins in existence. This limit is written into Bitcoinโ€™s code, making the cryptocurrency scarceโ€”like digital gold. As of 2025, about 20 million bitcoins have already been mined. The last bitcoin will be mined around the year 2140.
