1.The First Real-World Bitcoin Transaction On May 22, 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas. That day is now celebrated as Bitcoin Pizza Day. At today's prices, that would be worth millions!
2.Lost Bitcoins: It's estimated that around 20% of all Bitcoins are lost forever due to forgotten passwords, lost hardware wallets, or accidental deletions.
3.Satoshi Nakamoto’s Fortune: The creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, is believed to own over 1 million BTC, but has never spent a single satoshi of it.
4.Ethereum Was Funded via Crowdsale: Ethereum was launched in 2015 after raising $18 million in a public crowd sale in 2014 — one of the first major ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings).
5.No Central Control: Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum are decentralized, meaning no government or central authority controls them — the blockchain network maintains everything transparently. $PEPE $BTC $ETH #FactCheck #funfact
The private key to the Bitcoin genesis block is lost—or possibly never existed.
The very first block in the Bitcoin blockchain, called the Genesis Block (Block 0), was mined by Satoshi Nakamoto on January 3, 2009. Unlike other blocks, it contains a unique message: “The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks”—a timestamp and political statement.
But here’s the weird part: The 50 BTC reward from that block has never been spent, and due to how the Genesis Block was coded, it’s very likely that it can’t be spent. Some believe Satoshi deliberately made it unspendable as a symbolic gesture.
So, those 50 BTC are just sitting there—untouchable and eternal.
