Abstract: Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency launched in 2008 as the first implementation of a blockchain device. While the creator(s) of Bitcoin are not known, it is possible to study the crucible in which it was developed in a process spanning some 20 years. In this crucible, the Extropy movement plays a central role. It is also the bearer of several other technological utopias that are supposed to announce and prepare a surpassing of the human political temporality.
