Explore the initial steps of Bitcoin.org and its launch by the creators of cryptocurrency.

History of Bitcoin's Launch

In a recent tweet, Bitcoin historian Pete Rizzo shared an image of the first Bitcoin.org website from January 31, 2009, when Bitcoin was valued at $0. The site featured details of the first Bitcoin client version v0.1 released on January 9, 2009.

Development of Bitcoin.org

The domain name bitcoin.org was registered on August 18, 2008. In October that year, a link to Satoshi Nakamoto's paper "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System" was published. From 2011 to 2013, the site was used to release new versions of the software now known as Bitcoin Core. It was rebuilt in 2013.

Current State of Bitcoin.org

Today, Bitcoin.org is an independent open-source project with contributions from people worldwide. Initially, the site was registered by Satoshi Nakamoto and Bitcoin developer Martti Malmi. After Satoshi's departure in 2011, ownership was transferred to others to distribute responsibility.

Bitcoin.org has come a long way from its inception to its current independent status, remaining a vital part of cryptocurrency history.
