In late 2008, a pseudonymous coder(s) operating under the name of Satoshi Nakamoto published a whitepaper which provided the concept of Bitcoin.

Recently, a known fraud and scammer has launched legal attacks on those hosting the Bitcoin whitepaper, trying to claim ownership of it. In support of the open source roots of Bitcoin and to keep this information freely available, we host the whitepaper here for all to access who wish to.
