Last week, the 14th anniversary of the publication of the Bitcoin whitepaper was celebrated with enthusiasm across the cryptocurrency community.

Let’s take a look at the details of the 3,192-word Bitcoin whitepaper that changed the world.

The word “blockchain” is never used in the white paper. The closest examples are “blocks are chained” and “chain of blocks”.

The longest section of the Bitcoin White Paper, “Calculations”, contains only 559 words.

There is no mention of the term “mining” or its derivatives in the white paper. Satoshi refers to mining as “generation”.

October 31, the day the Bitcoin White Paper was published, is also celebrated as “Reform Day”.

However, it is noteworthy that the name “Bitcoin” is not used at all in the white paper, except for the title.
