When most people think of cryptocurrencies, they think of Bitcoin. Its enduring popularity makes it a go-to for not just many traders, but also financial transactions outside of fiat currencies.
Bitcoin is one of the most popular crypto tokens in the world, and certainly the most famous. It was launched in 2009 by a person or group using the name Satoshi Nakamoto – their actual identity is still unknown. Although it’s complex to mine and generate, trading and investing in Bitcoin is straightforward and can be done via OANDA Crypto with just a few clicks or taps.
The first Bitcoin purchase was made on 22nd May 2010 for two pizzas at a cost of 10,000 BTC. At its peak price, that would have been equivalent to nearly $688 million.
