🎂 Bitcoin’s First Transaction Turns 17

On January 12, 2009, the first Bitcoin transaction in history took place.
Satoshi Nakamoto sent 10 BTC to Hal Finney — not for commerce, but to prove that a peer-to-peer monetary system could function in the real world.

Hal Finney later recalled that he mined Bitcoin using a regular CPU, at a time when everything was still a pure experiment:
no exchanges, no price, no profit.

There was only:

Code

Belief

And a bold idea: money without intermediaries

From those first 10 BTC, Bitcoin has become:

A global asset

A trillion-dollar network

And a financial revolution that is still unfolding

Seventeen years later, that transaction reminds us of one simple truth:
👉 Every revolution begins as a small experiment.
