While Bitcoiners preach the “zoom out” narrative during crypto bear markets, zooming in on the original Bitcoin logo shows a small orange line from the background going into the white colored “₿.” While Satoshi Nakamoto is credited as the anonymous creator of Bitcoin (BTC), what often goes unnoticed are the selfless contributions of the Community members — miners, developers, designers, hodlers and investors — that help materialize the original vision. However, one such significant contribution was found to carry an imperfection for over 12 years , invisible to the naked eye. On Nov. 12, 2010, bitcointalk.org member bitboy (not related to YouTuber BitBoy Crypto) posted the vector files of the iconic Bitcoin logo, which has been widely accepted worldwide.

The case is a component of a larger investigation into the fall of Bank...

British-American businessman John McAfee talks about his crypto story and how he discovered BTC. From the Cointelegraph archives, John McAfee tells his crypto story and takes a look back at his very fascinating life. Early in his life, the computer programmer landed a job at the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration, also known as NASA, and worked on the world’s first weather satellite. There, he learned about computer security and people’s concerns over unauthorized actors gaining access to private data. McAfee also shared that he made all his money not from the popular “McAfee” antivirus software but from other projects. He explained: “People know me from McAfee, but no, that was not my greatest success. That was some trivial thing. It was my future things, which I did not attach my name to, that taught me and made me all of my money.” In 2011, McAfee’s friends pressured him into reading the Bitcoin (BTC) white paper published by its pseudonymous creator Satosh...
