The money of the Internet – that’s just one of the things that you probably know about Bitcoin. Since its creation in 2009, more and more people are getting interested in using this unique form of cash. But before we delve deeper about bitcoins and bitcoin mining, let me just share with you three fun facts that I’ve recently learned about the king of cryptocurrencies.

Here they are:

The first thing ever purchased using Bitcoin is pizza

Yep, that’s right. In 2010, someone bought two Papa John’s Pizzas for 10,000 BTC. This was definitely a big deal because, during this time, no retailer accepts bitcoins as an official payment for goods and services.

During this time, 10,000 BTC is equivalent to US$41, today, 10,000 BTC can be converted to US$25.8 million.

The supply of Bitcoin is finite

There are only 21 million bitcoins and as of now, 16.3 million of them have already been mined and are currently being traded in different platforms. According to them, the last bitcoin will be mined in 2140 and after that, there’s no chance for you to mine anything.

It can’t be banned

Haters gonna hate but bitcoin can’t ever be banned. As long as you have an Internet and a bitcoin wallet, then you can absolutely engage in using or trading it. While some countries are against bitcoin, it would be really impossible to push it away because of its huge financial impact.

And by the way, before I end this article, did you know that the creator of bitcoin is still somewhat unknown? That’s something for you to learn more!
