Bitcoin started in 2008 as a cypherpunk manifesto against financial censorship. Satoshi’s whitepaper introduced a trustless, decentralized ledger that survived the 2008 crisis. Early adopters in niche forums kept it alive. By 2013 Wall Street saw the crypto bubble, and institutional funds began buying, turning Bitcoin into a marketable asset. Today it remains a hybrid: digital gold for some, speculative play for others.
