The Origins of Bitcoin

A graphical visualization of the first transactions on the bitcoin network. Each dot is a bitcoin address (“Hello!“ when it appears). There is a line between dots when there is a transaction between them (“Transfer“). The size of the dots represent the amount of “influence“ that address has (PageRank). It is sized relative to the probability that a bitcoin will end up in that address given the transactions that have been seen. It is approximately the first 1000 transactions starting at block 0.
