Bitcoin Birthday - January 3, 2009

Today, January 3, 2009, 12 years ago, Bitcoin was first launched on the global network, created by Satoshi Nakamoto.

As of August 18, 2008, the Bitcoin domain registration on the global network Bitcoin.org took place.

On October 31, 2008, the first Bitcoin securities were issued where further investments were made.

January 3, 2009: Satoshi Nakamoto launches Bitcoin Mining Block, rewarded with 50 bitcoins.
Although he disappeared by 2011 and his true identity remains a mystery, he is thought to have generated 1 million bitcoins.

One of the first supporters, adoptive parents, Bitcoin contributors and recipients of the first Bitcoin transaction was the programmer Hal Finn.
Finn mined Bitcoin on the day of unloading and received 10 bitcoins from Nakamoto as a result of the world’s first Bitcoin transaction on January 12, 2009.

Since 2011, Bitcoin has become $ 1 based on securities and investments, and prices have started to rise.

And since 2012, more than 1,000 merchants have accepted Bitcoin as a cryptocurrency (digital money), and it has become possible to pay in that currency.

Since 2013, Bitcoin crosses the $1,000 mark for the first time.

Today the value of 1 bitcoin exceeds $ 30,000 (USD), which 12 years ago was equal to $ 1 (USD).
