LaTeX Recreation of the Bitcoin Whitepaper

This repository contains a LaTeX version of the Bitcoin whitepaper.

Introduction

The Bitcoin whitepaper, one of the most important documents in the history of cryptocurrencies, was published in 2008 by Satoshi Nakamoto, available at https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf .

As far as I know, there is no official LaTeX version of the Bitcoin whitepaper available. This repository contains LaTeX files which reproduce the Bitcoin whitepaper.

This LaTeX project is aimed to be a good example for LaTeX learners to learn how to write a LaTeX document with mathematical formulas and TiKZ pictures.

Known Issues

  • The size of each part may look different from the original whitepaper.
  • The TiKZ pictures do not fit the page width well.
  • References are not exactly the same as the original whitepaper.

Thanks

Special thanks to TeXiFy IDEA for making it easy to write LaTeX in a JetBrains IDE.
