Between January 2010 and July 2010, the difficulty increased from 1.3 to 244.2. That’s almost 200x within 6 months.

People who had heard of it, connected their PC to the network and started mining this magic internet coin. Bitcoin had made it from an idea in a whitepaper of an anonymous person in some nerd internet forum to something, that was actually running and growing fast.

Today the difficulty is at 110.000.000.000.000 btw.
