3. tldr; Bitcoin.org is the oldest crypto-related website that was registered by Satoshi Nakamoto and Martti Malmi back in 2008. It’s not affiliated with the Bitcoin Foundation, a non-profit organization founded in 2012. The website was hacked in the early hours of Thursday. Users were invited to send coins after which they would receive twice the amount.
