What is Bitcoin? – A bitFlyer Academy Guide for Beginners
Launched in 2009, Bitcoin is the world’s first cryptocurrency, also known as “Digital Gold”. Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous founder, introduced Bitcoin as ‘Open Source Peer-2-Peer Money’ for secured, verifiable digital transactions without involving intermediaries like banks.

As of today, and for the 11th birthday of Pizza Day, 1 Bitcoin is worth around EUR30,000, which means Laszlo bought two Papa John’s Pizzas, for EUR300 Millions if it happened today. Just wow.
