Hi,

one significant event happened 12 years ago, the first BTC transaction happened between Satoshi Nakamoto and Hal Finney, where Satoshi has sent 10 BTC.

The BTC network was created 9 days earlier on the 3rd of January 2009 and the idea was already somewhere in the space from 2008 at least, when the bitcoin.org domain was registered.

This event was the proof that the idea and network is feasible and the crypto world was born. All that read this, read this because this event happened and a new financial revolution has started. It did not happen as it is still ongoing. It will take probably again 12 years to reach maturity, but who knows, it might happen sooner.

Even if BTC is not perfect it is the parent and the leader of the crypto revolution. Yes, transaction are possible with it, but it would be more a wealth storage rather then a mean of payment. There have been other cryptos that have evolved from this that can easily be used as payment methods.

As @jrcornel, stated in his post,BTC had a daily worth increase of 7%. This shows that it is the perfect worth holder or investment for the long run.

Will it hit the million USD mark? Probably, as it is limited and the USD is affected by inflation. Will it be the king in the next 5 years? Probably yes, as it is dominating the market.

Do you have some BTC? What do you plan with them?

So, happy birthday BTC and thanks for being here!
