00:00Since its inception in 2009, Bitcoin has evolved from a revolutionary idea into a global digital

00:04currency. At the heart of this evolution is Bitcoin Core the software that powers the network

00:09enforces consensus rules and validates every transaction. Today, we are taking a journey

00:13through Bitcoin Core's development, from the AlphaZero release all the way to the upcoming

00:17version 30. It all began with AlphaZero, the very first Bitcoin software released by Satoshi

00:22Nakamoto. It was simple, functional, and marked the birth of the Bitcoin network. As the software

00:27progressed through version 0.2 to 0.3.9, it gained support for Linux and multi-processor

00:32mining, slowly expanding its capabilities. While version 0.9, released in 2014, Bitcoin

00:38Core had become more stable, with improved performance and scalability, laying the foundation

00:42for future upgrades. The period from 2015 to 2019 saw major strides in functionality and

00:47usability. Version 0.10 introduced wallet backups and better transaction handling, making it

00:52safer for users to manage their funds. Version 0.12 brought support for segregated witness,

00:57or SegWit, a breakthrough that improved scalability and paved the way for future innovations like

01:01the Lightning Network. By 2019, with version 0.18, Bitcoin Core focused on performance improvements

01:07and stability, ensuring a smoother experience for all users. Between 2019 and 2021, Bitcoin

01:13Core enhanced privacy and security. Version 0.19 introduced better wallet privacy features,

01:19while version 0.21 brought one of the most significant upgrades in use, Taproot. Taproot allowed for

01:24more private transactions and more complex smart contracts, boosting both security and

01:28flexibility for Bitcoin users. From 2021 to 2025, Bitcoin Core focused on performance, hardware

01:34support, and incremental improvements. Version 22 improved efficiency and introduced support

01:39for newer hardware. By version 25, the software was optimized even further, while version 28 brought

01:45interface updates and translation improvements. Version 29 continued enhancing user experience and

01:50performance, keeping Bitcoin Core at the forefront of decentralized financial software. And now,

01:55Bitcoin Core v30 is on the horizon. Scheduled for release in October 2025, this update promises

02:00transformative changes. The OP backslash return data limit will expand from 80 bytes to nearly 4 megabytes,

02:06allowing for much larger amounts of data to be embedded directly on the blockchain. For the first time

02:11in over a decade, transactions with multiple OP backslash return outputs will be accepted into the

02:15default mempool. This opens new possibilities for developers and applications.

02:20Finally, v30 will enhance privacy features, reinforcing Bitcoin's fungibility and offering users

02:24stronger protections for their transactions. From AlphaZero to v30, Bitcoin Core has grown from a

02:30simple prototype into a sophisticated network client, continuously adapting to the needs of developers,

02:34users, and the global financial ecosystem. Each version reflects a milestone in Bitcoin's journey,

02:39performance improvements, privacy enhancements, scalability solutions, all leading toward a more robust,

02:44secure, and versatile Bitcoin network. And as version 30 approaches, the evolution of Bitcoin Core reminds us

02:50that Bitcoin isn't just a currency, it's a living, evolving technology that continues to redefine money as we know it.
