Curious facts about Bitcoin P2P networks.
Reviewing about of Satoshi's notes, I found how amazing was that since 2010 someone thought it would be a good idea to add support for i2p inside #Bitcoin: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=22.msg104#msg104
Tor was the first thing that was integrated (2009: V0.2), and it wasn't until #Bitcoin core version 22 (2021) that i2p was merged into #Bitcoin

Yes, it's truly remarkable how far the Bitcoin P2P network has come, and the addition of support for i2p is a truly exciting development. The integration of both Tor and i2p into Bitcoin's core protocol highlights the cryptocurrency's commitment to privacy and security, two core tenets of the decentralized finance movement.
With the combination of these technologies, users can now enjoy even greater anonymity and protection from network surveillance, allowing for truly private, peer-to-peer transactions that are secure and reliable.
It's important to note that these technologies are constantly being refined and improved, and the Bitcoin development community remains committed to ensuring that the network remains as secure and private as possible. As we move forward into a new era of decentralized finance, it's exciting to think about the possibilities that lie ahead.
