Hard Fork
Bitcoin is on its way to what may be its biggest hard fork yet! Planned for November 16, Segwit2x will change bitcoin’s components. Rules will be created, adjusted, and revised to make them valid. This fork will also add to the size of the block in the blockchain, taking it from 1MB to 2MB. Like the forks that have already occurred, Segwit2x offers us an addition to the block size, a hard fork, and manipulations to the software.
Bitcoin made it’s entrance into the market
Bitcoin made it's entrance into the market in January of 2009. Satoshi Nakamato who chooses to keep his identity anonymous, became the first miner of the bitcoin. Nakamoto mined almost a million bitcoins before he left the market and passed his legacy on to developer Gavin Andersen.
