This project was founded by a group of Bitcoin enthusiasts with a shared vision: to create a unique destination where both new and seasoned Bitcoiners can explore the rich history of Bitcoin in a fun, engaging, and accessible way. Our mission is to chronicle Bitcoin's pivotal moments, pay tribute to the individuals who have shaped its journey, and capture the stories that have brought us to where we are today.
We’ve carefully selected 128 key moments in Bitcoin’s history and partnered with some of the world’s most talented artists to visually represent each one. Now, we’re seeking 128 exceptional writers to complement these artworks with detailed insights and in-depth research. Together, we aim to build the ultimate resource on Bitcoin's history, ensuring it serves as an archive for future generations.
This project isn’t just about education—it’s about storytelling. We want to document these moments before they fade from memory, providing a fresh perspective for newcomers while offering a nostalgic trip down memory lane for the OGs. We believe that true understanding of Bitcoin comes from knowing both the technology and its history.
As a collaborative effort, we’re inviting historians, early adopters, key figures from the Bitcoin story, and thought leaders to contribute. Bitcoin was built on the principles of community and collaboration, and we want this project to reflect those values.
This project will have a permanent home online at historyofbitcoin.io, where the journey of Bitcoin can be explored in an interactive and immersive way. In addition, we are producing a beautifully crafted book featuring 128 double-page art spreads, totalling 256 pages, with each spread measuring 70cm x 35cm.
The first edition is made from 5,000-year-old fossilised oak, a unique touch that symbolises Bitcoin's enduring impact. It will be auctioned for charity, with all proceeds going to Bitcoin-related causes, ensuring the legacy of this project supports the very community that built it.

Deliverables
Each writer will be assigned one (or more) of the 128 events on our timeline. We’ll work closely with you to select an event that aligns with your interests and expertise, ensuring that you enjoy the writing process. For many events, we’ve conducted research that can help guide your writing or provide additional context. Each event will also be represented by a unique artwork, creating a seamless fusion of visuals and narrative.
We suggest aiming for around 500 words per piece, a length we find both engaging and digestible for most readers. However, you have the freedom to write more or less depending on the complexity of the event. Our priority is the effectiveness of the story rather than rigidly sticking to a word count.
