#Mundocurioso The cheapest transaction in history: 1,000 million in Bitcoin for 41 dollars

Bitcoin is currently the most valuable cryptocurrency. However, back in 2009 and 2010, these cryptos did not have that prestige; they were a sort of novelty that many considered unimportant. As a result, the first purchases and sales with Bitcoin had laughable prices. The owners of the first Bitcoins sold them for low prices, unaware that they had a fortune in their hands!

When did Bitcoin appear? The blockchain protocol was introduced by Satoshi Nakamoto, and by 2009, the first Bitcoins began to circulate. But in those embryonic years of the cryptocurrency, no one was willing to pay much money for the “virtual coins”. Bitcoin was a novelty only known among a small group of programmers, who seemed to entertain themselves with this new financial technology.
