Inventing Bitcoin by Yan Pritzker
The Technology Behind the First Truly Scarce and Decentralized Money
A concise, accessible primer that explains how Bitcoin was designed and how it works, beginning with the cryptographic and economic problems it was created to solve and then walking through the technical components—transactions, blocks and the blockchain, proof‑of‑work mining, wallets, keys and digital signatures, and the scripting language—while also surveying the historical context, key design trade‑offs and incentive mechanisms that shape its security, governance and evolution.
