On October 31, 2008, the author of the Satoshi Nakamoto published an announcement of a new electronic money settlement system "Bitcoin". It is this date that many people take for Bitcoin's birthday. Nevertheless, the announcement remains an announcement, whereas exactly nine years ago, on January 3, 2009, Block Number One appeared in the distributed decentralized Bitcoin network, which was later renamed the Zero Block. And it is the day when the first block was generated, it is much more logical to consider Bitcoin's birthday.
Over the years, this crypto currency, created by Satoshi Nakamoto, whose identity is still undisclosed, has become the most popular and expensive "coin" and still regularly updates records of value. Expensive in dozens of times, it attracts more and more attention, attracting all the new companies, analysts, businessmen and miners, who are striving to get into the "bull's-eye" and earn.
Many people believed and still consider Bitcoin a "pyramid", a "financial bubble" and a waste of time, but the fact remains that Bitcoin continues to grow steadily in price, and over the years he has been able to grow from obscure entertainment for a narrow circle of geeks to a full-fledged payment means - now you can buy a house, a car for Bitcoins, they can pay bills or just buy pizza with them.
