No bank. No government. No middleman. Just 21 million coins, cryptography, and a network no one controls.
On Halloween 2008, a mysterious figure named Satoshi Nakamoto published a 9-page whitepaper describing a new kind of money — one that required no banks, no trust, and no central authority.
Three months later, Block #0 was mined. Embedded in it: a headline from The Times about yet another bank bailout. The message was clear.
No asset in history has delivered returns like Bitcoin. The skeptics have been wrong every single time.
Every ~210,000 blocks (~4 years), the reward for mining Bitcoin is cut in half. This isn't a policy decision — it's written in the code. Each halving tightens supply while demand grows. Four halvings have occurred. The last Bitcoin will be mined around 2140.
