  That is exactly what came to mind for me.

  The Bitcoin whitepaper was the “Attention Is All You Need” of 2019.

    2009*

      That's when it was released but it was not widely-known until years later. So maybe you're both kind of correct.

        release date has a concrete date to refer to, 'widely-known' does not.

        2018 is when someone was looking for a pdf and found this one, which is probably what they were referring to?

        wtf, I remember using bitcoin back 1999, and now wikipedia says it began in 2009
        • darrenf 4y ago
          I mean, it's not just wikipedia - the genesis block itself contained a news headline from 2009. So whatever it is you remember, it is not using bitcoin in 1999. > The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Genesis_block https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Genesis_block

          "Digital Cash" was a big buzzword prior to the dot-com crash, but Bitcoin was definitely started later.

          Might be egold or ecash

    The first surge towards 20k was at the end of 2017. It was down to about 4k in the first half of 2019 and up to about 10k in the second half of 2019. It went up and down between 30k and 60k in 2021. It's almost 30k now. So 2019 was a good time to buy but maybe the mind share moment for bitcoin was 2017, when even TV news were talking about it every night.

      There were bitcoin meetups in my small major city in 2012 Waiters in the exurbs were giving me opinions on bitcoin in 2015
