As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the financial markets, I’ve seen my fair share of revolutionary technologies and trends that have reshaped the economic landscape. Among these game-changers, Bitcoin undoubtedly stands out as one of the most transformative forces in recent memory.
Exactly sixteen years ago, on November 17, 2008, an important event in Bitcoin‘s history took place. As reported by Bitcoin historian Pete Rizzo, this was the day the earliest recognized version of the Bitcoin software code was unveiled.
Previously, the mystery figure known as Satoshi Nakamoto had detailed the revolutionary idea behind Bitcoin in a whitepaper a month prior. Yet, the launch of the initial Bitcoin software was the starting point for this concept’s transformation from an abstract notion into a tangible, operating reality.
Today marks 16 years since the earliest known Bitcoin code was made public. Incredibly, its value has soared from nothing to over $100k! 🚀

In the past, Bitcoin had no value. At that time, there was no market for it, no miners were involved, and the lines of code Nakamoto shared held no worth. However, today, the value of Bitcoin has significantly increased, breaking the $90,000 barrier.
Initially envisioned by Satoshi Nakamoto, the goal was to establish a digital money system that doesn’t rely on a single controlling entity. This concept, laid out meticulously in the Bitcoin blueprint, was first unveiled on October 31, 2008.
Bitcoin was launched on Jan. 9, 2009, with Satoshi Nakamoto mining the first genesis block.
Bitcoin faces rapid growth
Since its beginning, Bitcoin has continued to advance, steadily gaining more users. Notably, in 2010, the first real-life transaction using Bitcoin was the purchase of two pizzas, at a cost of 10,000 BTC.
Today, Bitcoin has soared to unprecedented levels, hitting an all-time peak of $93,495 on November 13th.
Currently, as I’m typing this, Bitcoin had increased by 0.62% over the past 24 hours, reaching a price of $91,785. After experiencing its largest two-day decline since November 5, Bitcoin dipped during Saturday and Sunday trading sessions. However, it subsequently rose to peak at $92,234 in the early hours of Monday morning.
In simple terms, investors believe the U.S. economy is robust and they’re less likely to expect a cut in the Federal Reserve interest rate. This could potentially be tough for cryptocurrencies, as changes in liquidity may impact the speculative interest in digital assets.
