## Resource

On Halloween 2008, while the global financial system was collapsing and banks were getting bailed out with taxpayer money, an anonymous figure posted a nine-page paper that would change everything. Two months later, Satoshi Nakamoto mined the first Bitcoin block and buried a newspaper headline inside it about bank bailouts - a permanent message encoded forever on every node on Earth. Then he mined over a million Bitcoin, watched it become worth over $100 billion, and never touched a single coin. This is the real origin story of Bitcoin, told the way it deserves to be told.
