For those who want to learn more about Bitcoin and its 10-year history, ICOWatchList.com has gathered the most interesting facts about it in one infographic.
A little bit more than 10 years ago, on October 31, 2008, a new cryptocurrency came to light. Now this cryptocurrency is known all over the world and its name is Bitcoin.
Though Bitcoin has gained an enormous popularity and sometimes it really seems that absolutely everyone today is talking about it, there are still a lot of unexplained theories about it.
Still, nobody knows for sure who has invented it. Of course, we know that it was Satoshi Nakamoto but it is just a name that hides a real person (or a group of individuals).This secret hasn’t been disclosed yet, nevertheless, there are several guesses who it could be.
We all have heard that the first thing bought for Bitcoin was pizza (do not forget to celebrate the day of Bitcoin Pizza on May 22!), but have you heard about some other rather weird things that you can pay for with the help of Bitcoin?
Moreover, while some people consider it to be too expansive to purchase one Bitcoin (though its price is changing constantly, now it is still rather high), there is another option: the smallest denomination of one Bitcoin is its one hundred millionth part and it is called a Satoshi.
Do you know that there will be never more than 21 million Bitcoin? It’s a limited amount and it will never be increased. What’s more, 80% of Bitcoin has been already mined but the entire amount of them won’t be mined until roughly 2140.
Yes, there are a lot of theories, a lot of mysteries and a lot of controversial facts around Bitcoin and not all of them are 100% true.
So, ICOWatchList.com has prepared an alternative guide through Bitcoin’s 10-year journey. It has gathered the most unbelievable, the most unrealistic and the funniest facts about Bitcoin in one infographic that we are glad to provide to your attention.
I’m a content writer and editor with extensive experience creating high-quality content across a range of industries. Currently, I serve as the Editor-in-Chief at Coinspeaker, where I lead content strategy, oversee editorial workflows, and ensure that every piece meets the highest standards. In this role, I collaborate closely with writers, researchers, and industry experts to deliver content that not only informs and educates but also sparks meaningful discussion around innovation.
Much of my work focuses on blockchain, cryptocurrencies, artificial intelligence, and software development, where I bring together editorial expertise, subject knowledge, and leadership experience to shape meaningful conversations about technology and its real-world impact. I’m particularly passionate about exploring how emerging technologies intersect with business, society, and everyday life. Whether I’m writing about decentralized finance, AI applications, or the latest in software development, my goal is always to make complex subjects accessible, relevant, and valuable to readers.
My academic background has played an important role in shaping my approach to content. I studied Intercultural Communications, PR, and Translation at Minsk State Linguistic University, and later pursued a Master’s degree in Economics and Management at the Belarusian State Economic University. The combination of linguistic, communication, and business training has given me the ability to translate complex technical and economic concepts into clear, engaging narratives for diverse audiences.
Over the years, my articles have been featured on a variety of platforms. In addition to contributing to company blogs—primarily for software development agencies—my work has appeared in well-regarded outlets such as SwissCognitive, HackerNoon, Tech Company News, and SmallBizClub, among others.
