17 Years Ago Today, the First Bitcoin Transaction👀

Seventeen years ago today, on January 12, 2009, the very first P2P transaction on the Bitcoin network took place. Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, sent 10 BTC to developer Hal Finney, proving to the world that the system actually worked.

This transaction showed that Bitcoin was not just a theoretical idea, but a functional system where value could be transferred directly between two people without the need for intermediaries.
