The moment of creation of the cryptocurrency is considered to be August 2008, when the domain name Bitcoin.org was registered. That same year, someone under the pseudonym Satoshi (Satoshi) Nakamoto published a document called “Bitcoin: An Electronic Peer-to-Peer Cash System,” which described how the future cryptocurrency would work. There are different versions about who is hiding under the pseudonym Satoshi: computer engineer Dorian Nakamoto, a specialist in the field of law and cryptography, who published the work “Digital Gold” by Nick Szabo, or even a whole group of people who created the protocol for the Bitcoin cryptocurrency and software for it.
