The history of Bitcoin was dated back to 2009 when a white paper that was published by satoshi nakamoto came to limelight. He introduced the concept of the peer-to-peer electronic cash system that we know has bitcoin transaction now and the first bitcoin block that was formed known as genesis block then was mined in January 2009 and this marks the beginning of the first world cryptocurrency.

The blockchain technology has also improved over time and developers are continually working to enhance its scalability, security and also its functionality. The open source of Bitcoin is a great milestone as well.

As Bitcoin continues to evolve and gain mainstream acceptance, its impact on the financial world is undeniable. Satoshi Nakamoto's vision of a peer-to-peer electronic cash system has revolutionised the way we think about money and transactions.

Bitcoin was created in 2009 by an unknown person or group of people using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. It was the first decentralised cryptocurrency, meaning it operates without a central authority or government.

The history of Bitcoin is much more than that, it was born in 2009 but the project came from before, in 2009 it was launched, mining on January 3 the genesis block, some time later it began to be used especially by miners making P2P exchanges with those who wanted to get some Bitcoin in the first years, in 2011 it was launched in the regulated markets for the first time, prior to that, it was not traded and had no value set by the market.

in 2014 it exploded in popularity, setting off the alarms of many governments, so they began to set their sights on the crypto asset, in 2015 Blockstream took over Bitcoin and the Bitcoin repository, that is, where the Bitcoin code rests, being able to change it, Blockstream belongs to AXA and on these dates, Mastercard also joined the conglomerate.

Bitcoin was already very popular in 2017 and still had 1 megabyte in size in each block, which is ridiculous, the capacity of a floppy disk from the 80s, because of this there was a block war, in which the chain was separated into 2, the supporters of leaving the block at 1MB creating BTC (Bitcoin Core) and BCH (Bitcoin Cash) both come from the genesis block and both are Bitcoin, one evolving stagnantly (BTC for not wanting to increase the block size) which caused its fees to skyrocket by not increasing the block space to scale and make many more transactions and to be adopted globally, and BCH that respects Satoshi Nakamoto's vision of a scalable and cheap Bitcoin for everyone, with the possibility of global adoption.

from 2017 to 2024 there have not been many changes, BTC continues to increase its fees and make it impossible to use the main chain if not through custodians (centralized exchanges that are the opposite of the main vision of Bitcoin being you your own bank) and using a layer 2 protocol called the Lightning Network which is complex and mathematically impossible in the long run.
