3 Amazing and Noteworthy Bitcoin Facts

1 - Think about the cost of delivery

A programmer paid 10,000 bitcoins (about $30) in May 2010 for two enormous Papa John's pizzas. Those pizzas would be worth more than $735 million AUD at the current bitcoin pricing, making it reportedly the first-ever purchase of any kind using the cryptocurrency.

2 - Searching in the Landfill

James Howell, an Englishman from Newport, United Kingdom, states that after becoming one of the first miners of bitcoin, he unintentionally tossed out his computer hard drive, which contained almost 7,500 BTC. He has been frantically exploring the neighborhood garbage since 2013 in an attempt to locate the misplaced hard drive, which is believed to be worth 5.5 million AUD today.
How unlucky you are!

2 - $200 for all, all for one

The maximum number of coins in the Bitcoin market is 21 million. Therefore, if everyone received the same amount of coins, it would be about 0.0027 BTC for every person. That equates to about $200 AUD for each person.
