🕰️ Bitcoin's History & Key Events

From whitepaper to Wall Street — and what each milestone proves

Six short lessons on the moments that tested Bitcoin: a whitepaper nobody noticed, a governance war it nearly lost, the exchange collapse that's still being paid out twelve years later, and the slow arrival of companies and governments.
