Bitcoin bubble

[finesoul]

In January 2009, the bitcoin network came into existence after Satoshi Nakamoto mined the first ever block on the chain, known as the genesis block, for a reward of 50 bitcoins

Finney downloaded the bitcoin software the day it was released, and received 10 bitcoins from Nakamoto in the world's first bitcoin transaction

The value of the first bitcoin transactions were negotiated by individuals on the bitcointalk forums with one notable transaction of 10,000 BTC used to indirectly purchase two pizzas delivered by Papa John's.

Today 1 Bitcoin (BTC or XBT) equals 17526.58 US Dollars, year ago - 800 USD, 2 years ago - 462 USD, 5 years ago - 17 USD. Those pizzas costed almost 2 000 000 USD in current bitcoin prices.
