Bitcoin: Where It All Began
Post:
In late 2008, a mysterious figure or group under the name Satoshi Nakamoto released a whitepaper titled “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.”
Then, on January 3, 2009, history was made. The first block of Bitcoin, known as the Genesis Block, was mined. Embedded within it was a hidden message:
“The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.”
— a subtle protest against the traditional banking system.
Soon after, the first Bitcoin transaction took place between Satoshi and a developer named Hal Finney on January 12, 2009.
Then came the legendary moment in May 2010:
10,000 BTC were exchanged for two pizzas. This became known as Bitcoin Pizza Day — the first real-world use of BTC.
Back then, Bitcoin was practically worthless. Today, it's known as Digital Gold.
If you were there in 2010, would you have bought in? Or are you still waiting?
