Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency that continues to trade at $ 60,000 these days, turned 13 years old.
Bitcoin’s whitepaper was created 13 years ago by an anonymous person named Satashi Nakamoto and presented to the market under the name “Bitcoin P2P e-cash Paper”. Along with Bitcoin, Blockchain technology has also emerged.
The revolutionary use of Bitcoin in the whitepaper, which will deeply affect the financial system and completely separate from traditional financial institutions, is explained in detail.
Considered one of the greatest inventions after money, Bitcoin was only $0.0008 when it was launched on January 3, 2009.
Bitcoin, which has gained a gradual value of 7,749,999,900% since 2009, continues to maintain its value over $60 thousand these days.
Although Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, was perceived as a threat by traditional financial institutions in its first years, it has become the focus of technology and the future over the years.
With the growing crypto community and increasing adoption rate by its investors, crypto analysts think that Bitcoin could reach $100,000 by the end of 2021.
Bitcoin and cryptocurrency supporters did not leave the leading cryptocurrency alone on its birthday. Celebrating Bitcoin’s birthday with their posts, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey thanked Bitcoin.
“I’ve been working on a new electronic cash system that’s fully peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party.”#thankousatoshihttps://t.co/cz3yYo4UEw
