Since the inception and rapid growth of cryptocurrencies in 2008, historical artefacts related to Bitcoin and its founder Satoshi Nakamoto have become extremely valuable. Our shop houses some of most desired collectables for sale.

There are 2 known official whitepapers published by Satoshi Nakamoto. The pre-release version of the whitepaper did not reference the term Bitcoin! and contains some subtle differences to the now widely circulated final version.
- 22 August 2008 – Whitepaper pre-release draft in circulation (upload.ae in United Arab Emirates) https://www.gwern.net/docs/bitcoin/2008-nakamoto
- 31 October 2008 – Whitepaper published on crypto mailing list http://www.metzdowd.com/pipermail/cryptography/2008-October/014810.html
On January 3, 2009 Satoshi Nakamoto encoded a secret message in the very first Bitcoin transaction “Chancellor on Brink of Second Bailout for Banks”.
The title was a quote from the physical ‘The Times’ newspaper; an UK based publication. Note the online version of the newspaper had a shorter title. Less than a dozen copies exist globally and due to Satoshis encoded reference has become one of the most desirable Bitcoin collectables. Limited copies of the newspaper are also available via www.thetimes03jan2009.com SOLD
