The first registered bitcoin transaction was made more than 11 years ago, on January 12, 2009. In it, Satoshi Nakamoto sent 10 MTC to Hal Finney, after which he launched the mining process.
On October 5, 2009, cryptocurrency was first valued in fiat equivalent. Then 100 MTC could be bought for $ 0.43.
About six months later, the first-ever purchase of a physical product using Bitcoin was made. These were two famous pizzas that Laszlo Haniec ordered for 10 000 BTC.
Bitcoin continues to develop and gain popularity, and its blockchain continues to continuously form new blocks.
