In August 2023, it has been 17 years since the Bitcoin.org domain was registered, initiated by the creators of Bitcoin. This site has become an important resource for the community and the development of the technology.
History of the Bitcoin.org Domain
The Bitcoin.org domain was registered on August 18, 2008, by Satoshi Nakamoto and Martti Malmi, an early BTC developer. After Satoshi's departure in 2011, he transferred ownership of the domain to other community members to avoid control by a single person or organization.
Development Stages of Bitcoin.org
From 2011 to 2013, the website was used to release new versions of the software known today as Bitcoin Core. The site was redesigned in 2013, adding new pages, software listings, and a translation system, followed by developer documentation released in 2014.
Current Situation and Bitcoin News
Today, Bitcoin.org operates as an independent open-source project with contributors from around the world. Bitcoin, which was initially worthless, is now trading at around $115,650 as of August 2023, having reached an all-time high of $124,457 on August 14, 2023.
Since its inception, Bitcoin.org has played a key role in disseminating information about Bitcoin and fostering its community. Today, the site remains an important resource for users and developers.
