gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2026-03-08 03:28:22

For over a decade, Bitcoin has been the undisputed face of digital finance. When you think “crypto,” you think Bitcoin. Its surges and crashes have been treated as bellwethers for the entire industry. This year, it even set new records, solidifying its reign.

To produce microphotographs en masse, Dagron used a long wooden box that contained, at one end, a glass negative of the image to be reduced. At the other end was the reducing camera with up to twenty-five small lenses and the sensitized plate.
