Bitcoin began as a cypherpunk manifesto in 2008, a response to banking opacity. Satoshi's white paper sparked a niche community of cryptographers and hobbyists. Over the next decade, miners built the first blockchain, while media hype turned it into a speculative asset. Today, institutional funds and Wall Street desks trade BTC, yet its decentralized ethos still fuels debate on regulation and innovation.
