\frametitle{Why discuss the history of Bitcoin ?}

\begin{changemargin}{-0.75cm}{-0.75cm}
While Bitcoin is a Peer to Peer cash system, with no trusted third party or central authority, no trusted third party does not mean Bitcoin is not trustless. Commerce and finance are based on trust.\\

\begin{block}{J.P. Morgan on Finance}
\textbf{Untermyer:} "Is not commercial credit based primarily upon money or property?" \\
\textbf{Morgan:} "No sir. The first thing is character." \\
\textbf{Untermyer:} "Before money or property?" \\
\textbf{Morgan:} "Before money or property or anything else. Money cannot buy it...because a man I do not trust could not get money from me on all the bonds in Christendom." \\
\end{block}

\begin{itemize}
\item People are individuals, they're not equal. 
\item The Bitcoin Rule : He who has the money and credibility makes the rules.
\item Three threads to weave : the history of Bitcoin development, finance and politics.
\end{itemize}

\frametitle{Undefined Behavior: Overflow Bug}

\begin{changemargin}{-0.75cm}{-0.75cm}
\href{https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=823.0;all}{CVE-2010-5139}

\begin{itemize}
\item On August 15 2010, it was discovered that block 74638 contained a transaction that created 184,467,440,737.09551616 bitcoins for three different addresses. 
\item This was possible because the code used for checking transactions before including them in a block didn't account for the case of outputs so large that they overflowed when summed. 
\item A new version of the client was published within five hours of the discovery that contained a soft forking change to the consensus rules that rejected output value overflow transactions
\item The block chain was forked. 
\item Although many unpatched nodes continued to build on the "bad" block chain, the "good" block chain overtook it at a block height of 74691 at which point all nodes accepted the "good" block chain as the authoritative source of Bitcoin transaction history.

\item June 19, 2011: Database hacked, login + password combos offered for sale, Mt. Gox denied hack.
\item Dispute between Karpeles and McCaleb due to former not paying the latter. 
\item "Somebody" gains account with 400,000 BTC (10\% of BTC in circulation at the time). Pushes Mt. Gox price down to \$0.01 because withdrawal limits are USD based and withdraws "worthless" BTC.
\item July 2011: bitomat.pl suffers 17k BTC loss after storing wallet on ramdisk. Mt. Gox acquires and makes customer's whole.
\item October 28, 2011: hacked for ~3k BTC, made customer's whole.

\begin{itemize}
\item By 2013, more code and complexity had been layered onto the already shoddy codebase, e.g. the "anyone can spend" multisig softfork introduced in version 0.6 on April 1st, 2012 (Block \#173805).
\item For many years, calls for bug fixes and a protocol specification were ignored by the self proclaimed developers.
\item "The code is the spec."
\item Satoshi was an inventor, not a master programmer - he used Windows, after all.
\item March 1, 2013 : MP pens \href{http://trilema.com/2013/bitcoind-not-quite-ready-for-prime-time/}{"Bitcoind : not quite ready for prime time."} documenting the deficiencies in the transaction creation code of the bitcoind wallet.
\item March 11, 2013 : lead by Gavin Andresen, a second database, LevelDB, a Google technology, was introduced to version 0.8, while at the same time the blocksize limit was raised. Many people had stayed on the older versions and a massive fork emerged that nearly killed Bitcoin.
\item July 2013, Gavin proposes introducing multisig and two factor authentication to Bitcoin transaction signing, MP pens \href{http://trilema.com/2013/and-gavin-moves-on-to-the-dark-side-the-bitcoin-project-is-officially-hijacked/}{"And Gavin moves on to the dark side. The Bitcoin project is officially hijacked."}
\item "Core Devs" attempt, but fail to merge PKI into Bitcoin, heartbleed SSL vulnerability exposed in 2014. If "Core Devs" were successful, private keys on nodes would've been readable.
\item November 2014, luke-jr caught blacklisting s.dice and other gambling sites as default in the Gentoo Linux package of Bitcoin.
