An authoritative resource for the history of Bitcoin I've been developing an introductory course on Bitcoin and would like to have a lecture about its history. Other than Wikipedia, does there exist a community-accepted resource elaborating on the history of Bitcoin?
The official Bitcoin Wiki has a page about the History of Bitcoin. Also, the original Bitcoin homepage has a page with a brief history of Bitcoin.

This wiki is primarily maintained by the original creators and developers of Bitcoin.

If you want authority, you can either visit the Bitcointalk forums and contact some of the oldest forum members. Or take a look at the official Bitcoin GitHub project were the lead developers are listed. (They are also listed on the Bitcoin homepage.)
