Whitepaper (Bitcoin Whitepaper)

The Bitcoin whitepaper is a foundational document published in 2008 by an anonymous person or group known as Satoshi Nakamoto. It describes a digital, peer-to-peer currency that operates without a central authority, using blockchain technology—an secure, transparent ledger maintained by a network of participants. The whitepaper explains how transactions are verified, recorded, and safeguarded through cryptographic techniques, enabling trustless financial exchanges. Essentially, it laid out the innovative concept of Bitcoin, providing a blueprint for a decentralized money system that doesn't rely on banks or governments.
