The Bitcoin Museum: Explore the history, builders and legacy of sound money
The Bitcoin Museum is a sovereign space dedicated to preserving the cultural, technological and political history of Bitcoin. No fiat. No altcoins. No speculation. No compromise.
Here, we document the origins of a monetary revolution built on open source principles, cryptography and peer to peer technology. Bitcoin is not a project. It is a protocol. A decentralized network that resists censorship, inflation and control.
What is Bitcoin
Bitcoin is digital money that belongs to no one and works for everyone. It is censorship resistant, borderless and immune to monetary abuse. It emerged from the ashes of the 2008 financial crisis and provides an alternative to centralized financial systems.
Why a museum
Because Bitcoin has a history. A history worth protecting from distortion. From the first mailing list posts to the Genesis Block. From early cypherpunk conversations to the launch of full nodes. From the first real world trade to global remittance rails.
