Bitcoin turns 10: how everything started with Satoshi Nakamoto’s 9-page white paper

Bitcoin mining has evolved from a bedroom activity to mass-scale production.

Bitcoin, the world’s first and biggest cryptocurrency, is 10 years old today.

It has been a long journey from an abstract concept in a pseudonymous inventor’s 9-page white paper to a US$200bil (RM836bil) economy, with 2,000 types of cryptocurrencies, 15,000 exchanges, and the potential to overthrow the financial industry and beyond.
