e reflection of the long journey of Bitcoin, the price of this digital currency rose again after weakening. In trading Tuesday, August 20, the price of Bitcoin jumped above $61,000, recording an increase of 2.78 percent to 60,541 US dollars (approximately Rp968.6 million) based on CoinMarketCap data.
Precisely 16 years ago, the world of financial technology experienced an important turning point when Satoshi Nakamoto, the anonymous figure behind the creation of Bitcoin, sent his first email to Adam Back, a prominent cryptographer.
On August 20, 2008, this email marked the birth of a revolutionary idea that later developed into Bitcoin, the world's first decentralized digital currency. The move not only introduced blockchain technology but also opened up global discussions about the future of a safer and freer financial system from third-party control.
In his email, Satoshi introduced a basic Bitcoin concept that relies on cryptographic principles and decentralization. Adam Back, who is known as the creator of Hashcash, suggested that Satoshi study Wei Dai's B-money paper, which outlined a decentralized digital currency. The ideas laid out in this email chain later became the main foundations of Bitcoin.
Their conversation continued until October 1, 2009, when Satoshi announced the launch of Bitcoin software. Adam Back, who had been largely ignoring the project, only paid attention to Bitcoin again in late 2012, when it began to attract wider attention.
