In 2008, an anonymous developer or group of developers under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto published a white paper describing the concept of Bitcoin - the first decentralized digital currency. The idea was simple: create a system that would allow financial transactions without intermediaries such as banks. A year later, in 2009, Bitcoin software was launched, and the first block - the "genesis block" - was generated.
