2008.08.21 — The Bitcoin White Paper is published on the Social Science Research Network (SSRN).
https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3440802
2008.10.31 — The Bitcoin White Paper, authored by Dr Craig Wright, under the pseudonym of Satoshi Nakamoto, & titled ‘Bitcoin: A peer-to-peer electronic cash system’, was released to a cryptography mailing list. The Bitcoin White Paper is significant because it expressed for the first time in history, how to commoditise digital data, using five principle constructs,:
- One, economic competition, so the network is open to everyone & therefore common to all,
- Two, a chain of digital signatures for common accountability, so blame cannot be reassigned, & everyone is individually, equally responsible for the data they upload on to the network,
- Three, a locked protocol, so no one can change it & it is therefore common to everyone,
- Four, unbounded capacity, so limitations & restrictions cannot be manufactured or manipulated & it is therefore common to everyone,
- Five, & a fixed supply, so no one controls it & it is therefore common to everyone.
It’s these five principle constructs that enable the Bitcoin protocol to be classified as a digital commodity. https://craigwright.net/bitcoin-white-paper.pdf
2009.01.03 — After providing a “reasonable” amount of time for anyone, & everyone, to start the network themselves, Dr Craig Wright started the Bitcoin network himself, under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, when he mined the starting block to the network known as the Genesis block at height zero. Providing a reasonable amount of time gave the starting point of the network commonality, in order for the network to be classified as a commodity. Embedded in the coinbase data of the Genesis block was the text: “The Times 03/Jan/2009. Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.” The use of a pseudonym enabled the network to grow organically, without a central point of authority, control, or influence, while proof of work diluted the central starting point over time, & provided commonality to the growth of the network, giving even more economic credibility to the network being classified as a commodity. https://whatsonchain.com/block-height/0
2009.01.09 — Block 9 was produced. This block would later become famous because it was the coinbase data/Bitcoin in this block that Craig Wright, under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, would later send to Hal Finney on 12th January 2009 in the worlds first ever Bitcoin transaction recorded in block 181. https://whatsonchain.com/block-height/181

2010.05.22 — The first commercial Bitcoin transaction took place when Laszlo Hanyecz paid Jeremy Sturdivant ₿ 10,000 Bitcoin for two Papa John’s pizzas. This day is now known as Bitcoin Pizza Day, & is significant because it gave Bitcoin its first real world commercial value. Prior to Bitcoin Pizza Day, the price of Bitcoin was calculated by the amount of energy each Bitcoin cost to extract. This transaction took place at block height 57043. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Laszlo_Hanyecz

2011.06.09 — The Tulip Trust was created by David Kleiman, at the request of Dr Craig Wright, who transferred ₿ 1,100,111 Bitcoin for this purpose. The Tulip Trust represented 5.2% of the total supply of Bitcoin, & approximately 42% of the circulating supply at that time. The intended use of the Tulip Trust was to prove that Dr Craig Wright was the creator of Bitcoin, had possession of the “Satoshi Coin’s”, & to act as Bitcoin’s insurance policy. As Bitcoin’s insurance policy, the Tulip Trust was created to provide enough economic power to intentionally wipe out any securitised, economically worthless, alternative protocol forks, (such as BTC, BCH & many others) that might have been created prior to its planned return to Dr Wright on 2020.01.01. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/2644014-Tulip-Trust-Redacted

In July 2017, mining pool ViaBTC proposed the name Bitcoin Cash.
2017.08.01 — A group of developers called Blockstream announced their plans to fundamentally change the protocol design of Bitcoin (BTC) by segregating the chain of digital signatures from the transaction data. They called this change “SegWit”. “Seg”, being an abbreviation for the word segregated, that removed the digital signature from the transaction data, & “Wit”, an abbreviation for the word witness, being the digital signature that is so fundamental for legal & economic purposes in a transaction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SegWit
The first sentence, in Section 2 of the Bitcoin White Paper, defines Bitcoin “…as a chain of digital signatures.”
A chain of digital signatures is one of the five, fundamental, principle constructs that makes Bitcoin a commodity, as it ensures common/equal accountability to all users & developers of the network. SegWit, turned Bitcoin (BTC), from a digital commodity into a digital security offering, & removed all economic value from its network. The Bitcoin chain was split on 1st August 2017. The SegWit protocol, created by Blockstream, that kept the ticker symbol BTC, was implemented on 24th August 2017. The original Bitcoin protocol & chain of digital signatures continued under a new name & ticker symbol, referred to as Bitcoin Cash & given the ticker BCH.
2017.08.01, 13:16:14 UTC — Block number 478558 was the last block on the Bitcoin chain for which like outputs appear on both chains. Block 478559 officially started the mutated BTC chain as Bitcoin continued as BCH.

2017.08.24 — The first alternative ‘SegWit’ protocol legacy address was created using the letters ‘bc’ to indicate the change: bc1q34aq5drpuwy3wgl9lhup9892qp6svr8ldzyy7c. The sentence “Bitbank Inc. Japan supports SegWit!” was written into the transaction. https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/transaction/f91d0a8a78462bc59398f2c5d7a84fcff491c26ba54c4833478b202796c8aafd
2018.11.15 — The original Bitcoin protocol & chain of digital signatures was given a new name and ticker symbol, & was referred to as Bitcoin Satoshi Vision (BSV). This happened because a group of developers implemented a protocol change on Bitcoin Cash (BCH). This protocol change deleted parts of the transaction data, meaning it could no longer be used as a medium of exchange, & fundamentally changed the protocol from a commodity network into a centrally controlled, securitised network in the same way that Blockstream securitised BTC by implementing SegWit. https://coingeek.com/crypto-crime-cartel-how-roger-ver-led-bch-tried-to-corrupt-bitcoin/
2018.11.15, 14:13:29 UTC — The last “common block” between the two competing versions was mined, after which the blockchain was split and each of the new versions went its own separate way. The last common block between the BCHN (BCH) & BCHA (BSV) networks was at block height 661,647.

2021.08.02 — Bitcoin (BSV) under went a massive, failed 51% attack.

2023.02.09 — A UK High Court Judge permits two points of claim for Dr Craig Wright on: 1) Bitcoin Database Infringement Right, &, 2) Copyright infringement of the Bitcoin white paper.
“I was and am satisfied that the claims in database right and of infringement of copyright in the White Paper raise serious issues to be tried and therefore service out of the jurisdiction of those claims should be permitted,” wrote the Judge.
The judge did not permit a 3rd claim over copyright in the defendants “Bitcoin file format” because the SegWit file format the defendants had created was an alternative file format to Bitcoin.
The original protocol & genuine Bitcoin is the only way to commoditise digital data, which means there will be only one digital commodity. This protocol, & the only chain of signatures in existence today that leads all the way back to the Bitcoin genesis block, has the ticker symbol (BSV).
