The first person to buy bitcoin was Laszlo Hanyecz, a Hungarian programmer and pioneer of cryptocurrency. He became famous for his historic act: in May 2010, Laszlo made the first transaction in history by buying two pizzas for 10,000 bitcoins.
This transaction, known as the "pizza transaction," had enormous significance as it demonstrated that bitcoin could be used in the real economy to purchase goods and services, even though at that time the value of bitcoin was almost zero compared to its current market price.

With the development of cryptocurrency, many people began to invest in Bitcoin (BTC), seeing it as a revolutionary technology and an opportunity for significant profits. However, not all cryptocurrency owners have been so fortunate. Some faced difficulties in managing their funds, which led to the loss of bitcoins. One of the most striking examples is the story of James Howells, a Brit who lost access to 8000 bitcoins stored on an old hard drive.

After burning cryptocurrency, or the so-called 'burning' of tokens, several consequences can be expected:
Reduction in supply: Burning decreases the total number of tokens in circulation, which may increase scarcity and, theoretically, affect the price growth of the remaining tokens if demand remains stable or increases.

Several factors can play a key role in the growth of XRP (Ripple):
Recognition and acceptance: XRP must continue to gain recognition from major financial institutions, banks, and other organizations. Expanding partnerships and implementing RippleNet technology for international payments may contribute to growth.

Bitcoin (BTC) is the first and most well-known cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by an anonymous developer (or group of developers) under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin became a pioneer in the world of digital currencies, offering a decentralized alternative to traditional money based on blockchain technology. This means that Bitcoin is not controlled by any government authority or financial institution, and all transactions are recorded in a public ledger – the blockchain.
