The Man Who Let Go of Billions and Still Smiles: Martti Malmi’s Bitcoin Story 💻💸* Before Bitcoin was a household name, before it made headlines or minted millionaires, there was Martti Malmi — a quiet Finnish developer who believed in a strange new digital money called Bitcoin 🌐🧠 Back in 2009, Martti was one of the few people on earth directly working with the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto. He didn’t just contribute — he helped shape Bitcoin’s earliest days. He built the first-ever Bitcoin graphical interface, helped run bitcoinorg, and was one of the original miners when blocks were easy to grab and rewards were flowing freely ⛏️🧱 At one point, Martti had about 55,000 BTC in his wallet 😳 He made history by selling 5,050 BTC for just 5.02 — the first known Bitcoin-to-fiat transaction. That’s right — 1 BTC =0.001. Over time, he sold all 55,000 BTC between 2012 and 2013 for roughly 300,000 🏠💵 Why? He wanted to buy a house and gain some financial security. He didn’t think Bitcoin would ever become as massive as it has. His average sell price was just a few dollars per BTC. Today, that same stash would be worth billions 💰🚀 Even at Bitcoin’s 2017 peak (20K), he would've been a billionaire. At the 2021 ATH of 69K, that 55,000 BTC could’ve been worth3.8 billion. And now in 2025 — still worth billions. But Martti? No regrets. He’s proud. He says helping Bitcoin take off matters more than missed profits 🙌💫 His name may not trend like Satoshi’s, but Martti Malmi is remembered as a true pioneer — someone who helped build the foundation of the world’s biggest digital revolution 🔥📜 Not every legend ends in riches. Some end with pride. $BTC $FIL $DGB #BTC125Next? #BinanceHODLerMorpho
