10 interesting facts about Bitcoin 🤓
Here is a list of my 10 favorite facts about the Bitcoin! Some of them are quite astonishing!
The first ever bitcoin transaction was between Satoshi (The mysterious creator of Bitcoin and the blockchain) and Hal Finney (a contributor of the cryptography community who has unfortunately passed away).
The first ever recorded purchase using Bitcoin was the purchase of a $25 pizza for 10,000 BTC (currently valued at around 46 million dollars)!
Satoshi Nakamoto is believed to have mined 1,000,000 Bitcoins during Bitcoin's conception.
21,000,000 Is the maximum number of bitcoins that will ever be produced!
Thailand was the first country to outlaw Bitcoin!
In 2010 (1 year after launch) one Bitcoin was worth $0.04
Lamborghini was the first car company to allow its clients to purchase their cars using Bitcoin!
To this day, nobody knows who Satoshi Nakamoto really is. However some analysts have been lead to believe he was either American or English due to the time of his/her posts and proficiency in the English language.
The combined computing power of the Bitcoin network is over 2,000,000 Pflop/s more powerful than 1000 of the worlds most powerful super computers!
Bitcoins have been transferred in space! In 2016 Genesis Mining made a transaction of bitcoin on a weather balloon at an altitude of 34km!
And that is my top 10 facts about Bitcoin! I hope you enjoyed reading and found it informative, feel free to up vote, re-Steem, promote, etc ;-D
