Bitcoin started in 2008 as Satoshi Nakamoto’s cypherpunk manifesto, turning cryptographic theory into a decentralized currency. Early miners were hackers and libertarians in empty garages. By 2013, Mt. Gox and institutional trades pushed Bitcoin onto Wall Street, now listed by hedge funds and regulated exchanges. From niche protest to global asset, Bitcoin sparked DeFi, NFTs, and a crypto revolution.
