Description
TL;DR: The original eight-page Bitcoin white paper: transactions, digital signatures, proof of work, incentives, privacy, and a peer-to-peer timestamped chain.
About This Document
Satoshi Nakamoto describes an electronic payment system based on cryptographic proof instead of institutional trust. The paper explains transaction ownership, the timestamp server, proof-of-work consensus, network operation, miner incentives, disk-space reclamation, simplified payment verification, value combination and splitting, and Bitcoin’s privacy model.
Why Bitcoin People May Care
This document is not rare and does not need fake treasure language. It is simply the primary technical proposal behind Bitcoin, preserved here as a verified eight-page PDF. Every later argument about scaling, mining, custody, fees, or ‘what Satoshi intended’ eventually wanders back to these pages.
