Bitcoin’s first ever transaction took place on 3rd January, 2009. So this milestone comes 15 years, fourth months and four days after Bitcoins creation.
On average the network has processed 178,475 daily transactions over its 5,603 day existence.
This milestone also doesn’t include any transactions made on the Lightning Network - this is strictly layer 1 transactions.
And it reached this milestone without a single government, bank or corporation in control.
