This domain was a key platform for introducing the concept of the first cryptocurrency and publishing the famous whitepaper titled “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System”.
Interesting Facts:
The domain was registered anonymously using the WhoisGuard privacy protection service.
It is believed that Satoshi Nakamoto himself was behind the domain registration and managed it before his disappearance.
The site provides links to the Bitcoin software, including the original client (Bitcoin Core).
Bitcoin.org is an educational resource that offers detailed information about BTC, blockchain technology, how cryptocurrencies work, and other aspects of the crypto industry.
Despite many other resources, Bitcoin.org remains an important source of information about the first cryptocurrency.
Today, Bitcoin.org is an independent project and has no official connection to the Bitcoin network. Just as no one owns email, no one controls the Bitcoin network and no one can speak on its behalf.
