Jeder, der sich für die Geschichte von Bitcoin interessiert und hervorragend aufbereitet erfahren möchte, welche früheren Entwicklungen darin eingeflossen sind und woran vorherige Versuche in Sachen Digital Money und Electronic Cash jeweils gescheitert sind, MUSS dieses Buch verschlingen.
Ich kann hier eine absolut uneingeschränkte Empfehlung aussprechen!

Red candles today. History says relax.
Hal Finney’s 2004 RPOW kept the Cypherpunk dream alive, paving the way for Bitcoin. One bad day doesn’t change where we are going.

Physical work leaves marks you can see. Digital work left nothing until @adam3us created Proof of Work.
These words by @AaronvanW shows how Adam Back’s idea keeps Bitcoin honest, one block at a time.

The magic behind Bitcoin is signatures. You sign with a private key. The network checks with a public key. @chaumdotcom's blind signatures kept the proof while hiding the message. That changed everything.

"Cypherpunks write code."
That was the promise made in the 1993 Manifesto. They knew asking for privacy was useless; they had to build it.
It took 15 years of failures, but eventually, that promise birthed Bitcoin.

Bitcoin didn’t appear out of thin air. Its roots trace back to a small online tribe in the 90s who believed privacy was a right and code was a weapon. Their home? The Cypherpunk mailing list.

My artwork was made in response to, and homage of, the key blind signature work done by Cypherpunk & cryptography pioneer @chaumdotcom.
The segment illustrated by my art was written by the former Editor-in-Chief of Bitcoin Magazine @AaronvanW.
