Mapping Out The Bitcoin Ecosystem

Bitcoin, the first blockchain network, was founded by the anonymous individual Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008 and launched on January 3, 2009. Since then, Bitcoin has demonstrated robust growth as a decentralized asset class, currently boasting a market cap of $1.3 trillion as the largest cryptocurrency.

However, unlike projects that emerged later, the development of decentralized protocols on the Bitcoin network faced technological challenges. The network's simple language structure, designed to minimize security risks, impeded its ability to expand as a versatile smart contract platform.
