Satoshi Nakamoto the visionary team shows us why there can only be one truth in time which is immutable.Knowing they could trust no one around them, they left their identification mark on the actual code itself to be retrieved as Id when they returned.

Follow the journey from the beginning and see how much went into creating a platform designed with the guidance of nature itself is surpassing modern technology to create an amazing future. Data embedded in the past becomes immutable in the future when retrieved and the keys of decryption display the message left by those who encrypted it.

Download or read book The Bitcoin Genesis written by Jimmy Putnic and published by Silica Lyne. This book was released on 2017-11-14 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike normal (fiat) currencies, bitcoin doesn’t have a central bank or a backing of a national government. Instead, it is regulated by complex algorithms with new coins being mined when computers solve complex equations. All this number crunching is tracked by the blockchain, a public ledger of all transactions which is distributed meaning there is no central point of the network that can be shut down. It’s perhaps analogate to file sharing protocol Bittorrent. You can obtain bitcoin by mining them yourself of buying them from an exchange but for that to happen you will first need a wallet. There are different ways to get a wallet, you can simply store yourself on your hard disk in wallet software running locally or you can use online service and have your coins stored in a cloud. Both have advantages and disadvantages. E.g. if your coins were stored locally, if something was to happen to your computer such as your hard disk getting destroyed you lose your cash. Conversely, if your coins are stored online in an exchange there are more likely to attract hackers. Famously in 2015, Mt. Gox, which was one of the largest bitcoin exchanges was hacked resulting in the virtual highest of 450,000 bitcoins with wooden valued at about 450 million dollars. While some coins have since been recovered, a large number are still missing due to the way the bitcoin protocol works, it's simply wasn't possible to hit the undo button. So, choose your wallet wisely.

Download or read book Genesis of Bitcoin written by Mark G. and published by . This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fad, scheme, scam, tulipmania, and bubble are all terms I have used to describe Bitcoin. The majority of my professional money management career has been spent in the currency markets, and as a so-called expert I was convinced Bitcoin was nothing more than a speculative bubble. It seemed impossible that a string of numbers backed by nothing and without an army could ever meet the accepted definition of a currency as a plausible medium of exchange, store of value, or unit of account. More than once, I confidently declared that Bitcoin was nothing more than Tulipmania 2.0, a reference to the Dutch tulip bubble of the 1600s. Of course, the only thing I knew about Bitcoin was that people were calling it a digital currency, a term that was new to me. Unfortunately, not even ignorance could stop me from bellowing on national television that Bitcoin would not last. I had first read about Bitcoin in 2011 while browsing my usual currency websites looking for investment ideas. In the late spring of 2011, the price of bitcoin had reached parity with the U.S. dollar, and by July, one bitcoin was worth $31. Any investment that has a 3,000 percent increase in value will attract a lot of attention, but two decades working on Wall Street has taught me not only to be skeptical but to automatically dismiss these investments as unsustainable bubbles. Bitcoin appeared to be a quirky little project hallucinated by a cryptic computer programmer who was disillusioned with the post-financial-crisis world. It was interesting, but I did not think there was any money to be made, so I promptly forgot about this diversion and continued blissfully unaware that a revolution was under way. It was not until the autumn of 2013 that Bitcoin would reappear on my radar. In October 2013, I was consumed with research on the end of quantitative easing by the U.S. Federal Reserve. The so-called taper had roiled financial markets, and I needed a template to guide my investment decisions. Since many believed that Bitcoin was a direct response to quantitative easing, the two concepts had become twinned, especially on the Internet. Through my research, I began to notice the price of bitcoin was once again on the rise. After stagnating below $31, the price of bitcoin had spent the past year climbing to $150. As the price climbed, the media attention grew, particularly on the business channel CNBC, on which I appeared. If there is one thing I have learned from being on television, it is if it bleeds, it leads, and Bitcoin was as close as business news gets to a bleeding headline. Not only was the price rising rapidly, but the clandestine creator made the story fascinating. Most importantly, people were interested. Perhaps we all sensed that something remarkable was happening and we all craved knowledge. Information becomes a valuable commodity during times of uncertainty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Have you, like the rest of the world, speculated as to the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, anonymous creator of Bitcoin? The world's first cryptocurrency, Bitcoin went online in 2009 and has since revolutionized our concepts of currency and money. Not supported by any government or central bank, completely electronic, Bitcoin is a virtual currency based on advanced cryptographic systems. Like the currency he created, the identity of Bitcoin's creator Satoshi Nakamoto is virtual, existing only online. The Nakamoto persona, which may represent an individual or a group, exists only in the online publications that introduced and explained Bitcoin during its earliest days. Here, collected and professionally published for the first time are the essential writings that detail Bitcoin's creation. Included are: Satoshi Nakamoto Emails and Posts on Computer Forums Presented in Chronological Order; Bitcoin Fundamentals Presented in Layman's Terms; Bitcoin's Potential and Profound Economic Implications; The Seminal Paper Which Started It All. The Book of Satoshi provides a convenient way to parse through what Bitcoin's creator wrote over the span of the two years that constituted his "public life" before he disappeared from the Internet ... at least under the name Satoshi Nakamoto. Beginning on November 1st 2009 with the publication of the seminal paper describing Bitcoin, this public life ends at about the time PC World speculated as to a possible link between Bitcoin and WikiLeaks, the infamous website that publishes leaked classified materials. Was there a connection? You be the judge. Nakamoto's true identity may never be known. Therefore the writings reproduced here are probably all the world will ever hear from him concerning Bitcoin's creation, workings, and theoretical basis. Want to learn more about Bitcoin? Go directly to the source - the writings of the creator himself, Satoshi Nakamoto!"--Amazon.com viewed October 1, 2014.
