You probably did not know.Photo by Dmitry Demidko on UnsplashEven though the world\u2019s first cryptocurrency has been around for twelve years, there are still many facts about Bitcoin unknown by many. This seems ironic as the nature of Bitcoin and the underlying blockchain technology is transparency. In this post, I will share three facts about Bitcoin that most people, even crypto activated, are not aware of.So, if you want to show off with some Bitcoin facts, you are in the right place.It is not a secret that most people have become interested in Bitcoin because of its price performance over the last ten years rather than Satoshi Nakamoto\u2019s vision of a decentralized financial system without the need for centralized intermediaries.We all have heard stories about early adopters who have invested USD 1000 into Bitcoin which turned into a fortune. It is very amusing (or depressing) thinking about what a small investment twelve years ago could have yielded for a profit. But what was Bitcoin\u2019s first price actually?The question seems trivial, but if you check coinmarketcap.com, the most used source to check cryptocurrency prices, you will not find an answer. The price chart there starts in May 2013 even though Bitcoins genesis block was mined on January 3rd, 2009.According to the All-Time Bitcoin Price Chart, the first price ever was $0.000764 per Bitcoin published by New Liberty Standard, the first Bitcoin exchange. This means that if you would have invested $1 at that time, you would have received 1309.03 BTC, which is currently worth $25 million.This fact is a more prominent one, but still, many people, even crypto-activated are not aware of it. I remember participating in a crypto quiz some years ago where one of the questions asked was: \u201cWhat was the first item to be purchased with Bitcoin?\u201d.
