We published three history pieces this week, each walked through the actual blocks and transactions rather than retold from memory.

The 2010 inflation bug. Block 74,638: 184.4 billion BTC minted through an integer overflow, fixed in five hours. Minute-by-minute post-mortem:

The halvings. 50, 25, 12.5, 6.25, 3.125 BTC, converging on 21 million around 2140, with halving five due at height 1,050,000 (around April 2028).

Mt. Gox. About 70% of global volume in early 2014, 850,000 BTC announced missing, 200,000 found weeks later, payouts starting a decade on. The custody-failure entries (Gox, QuadrigaCX, FTX, Celsius/Genesis/3AC, BlockFi, Voyager) are all up now:
