Bitcoin began as a cypherpunk manifesto, a code‑driven rebellion. Satoshi’s 2008 whitepaper turned theory into protocol, letting miners crack the first block. By 2010 the first pizza was paid; by 2013, exchanges like Bitstamp and Coinbase opened the floodgate. In 2020 institutional vaults and ETFs entered, turning underground code into a Wall Street asset. Bitcoin proves radical ideas shape markets.
