🧠 How Did We Get to Bitcoin?
This timeline traces the evolution of the core ideas behind Bitcoin — not just the launch itself in 2009, but the decades of breakthroughs that made it possible.
The infographic maps out key concepts like:
🔸 Linked timestamping
🔸 Proof of work
🔸 Public key cryptography
🔸 Smart contracts
🔸 Byzantine fault tolerance
🔸 Peer-to-peer networks
It starts in the 1970s with early cryptography work and runs through milestones like:
🟢 Diffie & Hellman’s 1976 paper on public-key crypto
🔴 Haber & Stornetta’s 1991 research on timestamping
🟣 Adam Back’s Hashcash (1997)
🔵 Nick Szabo’s smart contracts (1997)
🟠 The Cypherpunks movement and early digital cash attempts
🟤 Bitcoin’s 2008 whitepaper and 2009 launch
⚫ Ethereum’s rise and the emergence of proof-of-stake chains
You’ll also spot major forks, regulatory moments, and projects that carried these ideas forward. It’s all in one place — a dense but clear map of how cryptographic theory, digital rights activism, and open-source code led to a monetary revolution.
