Bitcoin (BTC) was created in 2009 by an anonymous person or group under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto.
The total supply is capped at 21 million, making BTC a deflationary currency.
The first purchase using BTC occurred in 2010: 10,000 BTC for two pizzas.
The Genesis Block includes a reference to the 2008 financial crisis: "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks."
The smallest unit of Bitcoin is called a satoshi (1 BTC = 100 million satoshis).
