Bitcoin emerged in 2008 when an anonymous person under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto published a whitepaper describing a decentralized digital currency. In January 2009, the Bitcoin network launched with the first block (genesis block). Initially, Bitcoin was worth fractions of a cent, but in 2010 it began to be used for real transactions, such as buying pizza for 10,000 BTC.
By 2013, the price reached $1,000, causing the first frenzy. Bitcoin has experienced ups and downs: a peak of $20,000 in 2017, a decline in 2018, a new high of around $69,000 in 2021. In 2024, the price fluctuated, but Bitcoin remains the leading cryptocurrency. Its value lies in its limited supply (21 million coins), decentralization, and blockchain technology. Today, it is not just a currency but also an investment asset that sparks debate and interest.
