Bitcoin Whitepaper

The foundational document titled 'Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System' published on October 31, 2008 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. The nine-page paper outlined a revolutionary digital currency system operating without central authority, using a proof-of-work consensus mechanism to prevent double-spending, and creating a permanent, public transaction ledger. This document established the theoretical framework for Bitcoin and blockchain technology, fundamentally changing concepts of money and value transfer.
