Why
Bitcoin.

A culture
you can verify.

Each entry separates what the sources document from what Bitcoin Palace takes from it.

1. 31 · 10 · 2008

   A document before a network

   Satoshi Nakamoto published “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System”, nine pages describing the system before a single block existed.

   At Bitcoin PalaceThe Palace Code is written and published before the first drawing.

2. 03 · 01 · 2009

   The block that keeps its date

   The genesis block carries the text “The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks”. The network began by recording its moment.

   At Bitcoin PalaceThe genesis floor of the mined tower is the block of the day this website went live. Every edition will have its own.

3. 21,000,000

   A limit set in advance

   The network’s rules cap total supply at just under 21 million bitcoin and halve issuance every 210,000 blocks.

   At Bitcoin PalaceEach edition sets its number of residences with the project. Never more.

4. Full node

   Verify for yourself

   A full node independently validates every transaction and every block.

   At Bitcoin PalaceThe Node, the Palace’s meeting place, takes its name from that idea. The Palace Code makes it a rule: site, programme, partners and terms are communicated with facts.

5. 22 · 05 · 2010

   The first purchase was a dinner

   Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 bitcoin for two pizzas: the first documented commercial transaction in Bitcoin.

   At Bitcoin PalaceThe table in the private dining room: small dinners with people you want to see again.
