Click here!Bitcoin Whitepaper
In solidarity with other leading organisations from the blockchain and crypto community, we are linking to the Bitcoin whitepaper on our web presence.
We believe that Bitcoin being open source, maintaining access to the Bitcoin whitepaper is essential to inform others about the beginning of DLT and Blockchain technology.
We oppose the legal threats against two key contributors to the Bitcoin whitepaper and hope that this page will recall the spirit in which Satoshi Nakamoto first published his groundbreaking message about the peer-to-peer electronic cash system in 2009.
