The iconic Bitcoin (BTC) white paper by Satoshi Nakamoto is now celebrating its thirteen years of financial disruption after being first published on Oct. 31, 2008. The white paper, dubbed Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System, foresaw the need for a peer-to-peer online payment system that is self-governing, secure, and limited in quantity. In addition, the Bitcoin white paper proposes a solution to prevent double-spending without the risk of trusting a third party.
