We’re celebrating: Bitcoin turns 16!
On January 3, 2009, the blockchain was launched, and the Genesis Block was created. On January 12 of the same year, Bitcoin had its first transaction, marking the beginning of the greatest technological and financial revolution in history.
At 16 years old, Bitcoin has climbed into the TOP 10 of the highest market capitalization assets, surpassing $2 trillion and proving to be a mature asset with great potential.
Bitcoin is a teenager and has already outperformed most stocks and many traditional assets.
In 2024, it outperformed gold and exceeded $100,000.
Today, 877,000 blocks after its inception, Bitcoin has changed the world.
And the best part? It’s here for all of us. Unlike other revolutions, Bitcoin is open to everyone. We can all be part of this change.
Isn’t that amazing?
