【Satoshi Nakamoto released the oldest known BTC code on this date 16 years ago】
On November 17, 2008, 16 years ago, Bitcoin history welcomed an important milestone: the earliest original code was released. Prior to this, the founder Satoshi Nakamoto had published the white paper on October 31, outlining the concept of decentralized digital currency. With the code made public, Bitcoin transitioned from concept to reality.
On January 9, 2009, Bitcoin was officially launched, and Satoshi mined the first genesis block. At that time, Bitcoin had no value, miners, or market, but it has since become the highest market cap cryptocurrency, with prices exceeding $90,000.
In 2010, Bitcoin completed its first real-world transaction: 10,000 Bitcoins were used to purchase two pizzas, becoming a historic classic. Recently, Bitcoin hit an all-time high of $93,495 on November 13, showcasing its remarkable growth.
As of now, the price of Bitcoin is $91,785, having increased by 0.62% in the past 24 hours. Despite experiencing the largest decline since November 5, the price rebounded to a high of $92,234 on Monday. The market is still influenced by economic conditions and liquidity, facing challenges for crypto assets, but Bitcoin's history and performance undoubtedly prove its global impact.
