Szabo’s contributions to the digital world are nothing short of groundbreaking. In the mid-1990s, well before the creation of Bitcoin, Szabo designed a digital currency called "Bit Gold." While Bit Gold was never fully implemented, it is widely regarded as a direct precursor to Bitcoin's architecture.
