9 Who Invented Bitcoin?
The concept of bitcoin was created by an individual (or a group of people) under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, who published a paper in 2008 describing the ins and outs of digital currency — a paper that contained a proof of concept for bitcoin.
Nakamoto later launch the mining software that led to the development of the first Bitcoin network in 2009. Mysteriously, Nakamoto left the project in 2010 and promptly disappeared. To this day, Nakamoto’s identity has never really been confirmed.
