“History of Bitcoin gives the history a form that can be kept close, something you can put down, return to, and live alongside.”
Stephen Reiss, Bitcoin Magazine

Why BIT Exists

Bitcoin began as a single line of code – an idea quietly shared on a mailing list that sparked revolutions in technology, finance and human thought. Beyond the headlines, price charts and market cycles, lies a profound cultural shift – one that invites us to reconsider value, trust power, and the nature of money itself.

BIT exists to explore that shift, not through technical whitepapers or financial analysis, but through art, expression and imagination.

Just as Bitcoin itself is the product of collaboration, built openly by contributors around the world, this book mirrors that spirit of collective creativity and shared vision.

This is not a definitive history. It is not the final word. Rather, it is a curated moment in time. A richly artistic glimpse into an unfolding story, with new chapters written every day.

RevElations

Revelations is the pocket-sized companion to BIT. It connects each artwork to the history it represents. Where the art captures Bitcoin’s defining moments, Revelations anchors them in fact and memory.

Stories from behind the work
The research draws on first-hand accounts from more than 100 early Bitcoiners, including Martti Malmi, Theymos, Trace Mayer, Samson Mow, Tim Draper, and Jameson Lopp. Their voices ensure accuracy while adding the personal perspective of those who helped shape events.

Designed as a companion
Created to be read alongside the artbook, Revelations offers the feel of a gallery visit: seeing the work and learning the story behind it. Produced in a handheld bible format, printed on bible paper, leather bound, and finished with gold foiling, it is a book to be opened, studied, and returned to often.

The bitcoin timeline

History is made of moments, and Bitcoin’s journey is remembered here through 128 carefully chosen events that tell its story. From its cypherpunk roots and the mavericks who pushed it forward, to the darker times that tested its resilience, and the memes that carried it into culture.

What makes this timeline unique are the artists who bring it to life. Painters, illustrators, photographers, digital creators, and generative coders each add their vision – creating a mosaic of styles that captures Bitcoin’s evolution as no single voice could.

Collected in a limited-edition volume, these works form a lasting archive for future generations to learn the origin story.
