History edit

Vitalik Buterin became interested in Bitcoin in 2011, and co-founded the periodical Bitcoin Magazine with Mihai Alisie, who asked him to join.[5][6] Alisie was living in Romania at the time, and Buterin was writing for a blog. Buterin's writing captured the attention of Alisie, and they subsequently decided to start the magazine.[7] Buterin took the role of head writer as a side project while attending university.[7]

In 2012, Bitcoin Magazine began publishing a print edition from its base in South Korea and has been referred to as the first serious publication dedicated to cryptocurrencies.[8] Buterin noted he spent 10-20 hours per week writing for the publication.[9]

In early 2015, Bitcoin Magazine was sold to its current owners, BTC Inc.[10]

A physical copy of a 2014 edition of Bitcoin Magazine was displayed in the Smithsonian Museum as part of the Value of Money exhibit.[11]

In September 2021, Bitcoin Magazine announced the launch of their Eastern European bureau based in Kyiv.[12]

In December 2021, New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones partnered with Bitcoin Magazine to gift both Bitcoin and Bitcoin Magazine subscriptions to his offensive line.[13]

The Bitcoin Conference edit

Bitcoin magazine hosts annual bitcoin conferences starting in 2019. In June 2021, Bitcoin Magazine hosted Bitcoin 2021 at the Mana Wynwood in Miami, Florida.[14][15] There were approximately 12,000 attendees.[15] In a prerecorded speech, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele announced his plans to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender in the Central American nation.[16]
