$BTC Did you know that the mysterious creator of Bitcoin, known as Satoshi Nakamoto, owns about 1 million bitcoins? Despite the cryptocurrency’s global popularity, Satoshi has never spent a single coin from this fortune, worth billions of dollars. Bitcoin was launched in 2009, and its first real-world transaction was in 2010, when 10,000 BTC were used to buy two pizzas — now worth hundreds of millions! Also, Bitcoin's supply is capped at 21 million, making it a deflationary asset. Every four years, the number of new bitcoins created is halved, a process called “halving,” which adds to its scarcity and value appeal.
