What is bitcoin? We go back to the day Satoshi Nakamoto proposed a radical new form of electronic money. In the wake of a devastating financial crisis, an ecosystem would soon emerge across the globe.
We dive into crypto-mania as the value of bitcoin skyrocketed in a crypto-wild west, and the world goes mad for the huge profits to be made. Is there no limit to where crypto could go next?

Pioneers of blockchain technology and crypto-currencies have bold visions of an increasingly virtual future. Will it be a tech-rich utopia? The science-fiction future may be closer than we realise.
