In 2008, a person named Satoshi Nakamoto uploaded a White Paper named 'BTC: A P2P Electronic Money System' to a cryptography mailing list. In this document, he outlined the concept of this Cryptocurrency, which is not issued by central banks or authorities, and allows transactions between two anonymous parties. BTC was born as a result.


But the problem is, no one knows who this so-called 中本Satoshi is. After BTC started to operate online, his communication became less, and he completely disappeared in the middle of 2010. Meanwhile, as the value of BTC steadily soared, people speculated that this founder would become very wealthy.
Priceless pizza
Money is only called money when it can buy valuable things, so in the early days of Bitcoin, although it had a lot of theories, its value remained very low. On May 22, 2010, a guy named Laszlo Hanyecz agreed to pay 10,000 BTC to a British man to help him order a pizza from a local Papa John's. As evidence, Laszlo uploaded the photo above, and the first real-world BTC transaction was born.
With the rise in the value of BTC, the value of that pizza from years ago theoretically has skyrocketed. People's understanding of BTC and cryptocurrency has also generally increased. The following joke illustrates this point: Here is a joke to illustrate this point!
Who is fooling whom, BTC or the house
Several old comrades, speaking earnestly to the post-80s and post-90s generations:
"Don't play with those blockchain, BTC and other virtual stuff.
Life, you should do something practical.
For example, it would be great to go to work steadfastly and then buy a house and marry a wife in Beijing!
A post-90s answered like this:
"You old comrades, always trying to deceive us.
Over the years, through your unremitting efforts, you have finally turned steel and concrete costing thousands of yuan into houses priced at 100,000 yuan per square meter;
If we don't find another way, we'll sell you stacks of numbers and letters for 100,000.
How can I afford your house! How can I live up to this era!
