Bitcoin Core History

Bitcoin Core began as the original Bitcoin client released by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009, written in C++ as open-source software. It laid the foundation for decentralized, trustless currency with the first implementation of the Bitcoin protocol and proof-of-work consensus. Over the years, it's been maintained and improved by cypherpunk devs, becoming the backbone of the Bitcoin network. Key updates included SegWit (2017) and Taproot (2021), both enhancing scalability and privacy. Love it or hate it, Bitcoin Core is the OG that keeps the chain running.
