ON THIS DAY IN 2009…

The first known sale of bitcoin for USD: Martti 'Sirius' Malmi sold 5050 bitcoin for $5.02… an exchange rate of $0.0009 per BTC…

Today, those 5050 bitcoin are worth ~$565 MILLION…

Shoutout to nostr:npub1g53mukxnjkcmr94fhryzkqutdz2ukq4ks0gvy5af25rgmwsl4ngq43drvk for being a true Bitcoin legend — Bitcoin would not exist as it does today without cypherpunks and pioneers like Martti who built and USED bitcoin.

Also shoutout to Martti for building on Nostr today 🤙

Go give him a big fat zap ⚡️
