How Much was 1 Bitcoin Worth in 2009?

In the very early days of Bitcoin, there were no exchanges that look anything like the offerings today. But there was at least one exchange established in the first year since Bitcoin’s inception.

The BitcoinTalk forum went online in late 2009 and soon enough one regular proposed the idea of an exchange where people could buy and sell Bitcoins for fiat currency. Keep in mind that this was when the block reward was 50 BTC and there were very few people mining.

The BitcoinTalk forum member NewLibertyStandard set up New Liberty Standard Exchange, and another forum user — Sirius — sent him 5050 BTC in exchange for $5.02 through PayPal. This puts the first recorded price at which Bitcoin exchanged hands at $0.00099/BTC.

How Much was 1 Bitcoin Worth in 2010?

Bitcoin’s price never topped $1 in 2010! Its highest price for the year was just $0.39!

2010 is the year in which the famous purchase of two Dominos pizzas for 10,000 BTC took place.

BitcoinTalk forum member laszlo offered the following trade:

I’ll pay 10,000 bitcoins for a couple of pizzas.. like maybe 2 large ones so I have some left over for the next day. I like having left over pizza to nibble on later. You can make the pizza yourself and bring it to my house or order it for me from a delivery place, but what I’m aiming for is getting food delivered in exchange for bitcoins where I don’t have to order or prepare it myself, kind of like ordering a ‘breakfast platter’ at a hotel or something, they just bring you something to eat and you’re happy!

I like things like onions, peppers, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, pepperoni, etc.. just standard stuff no weird fish topping or anything like that. I also like regular cheese pizzas which may be cheaper to prepare or otherwise acquire.

If you’re interested please let me know and we can work out a deal.

2010 also saw the opening of the infamous Bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox in July.

How Much was 1 Bitcoin Worth in 2011?

Bitcoin Price during 2011

Bitcoin’s adoption started to pick up steam in 2011. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) accepted Bitcoins as donations for a couple of months in 2011. Due to lack of legal precedent surrounding virtual currencies this arrangement was quickly rescinded, though this was later reversed in 2013 when the EFF began accepting Bitcoin again.

On February 9th, 2011, BTC reached a value of USD$1.00 for the first time ever. A few months later, in June, the price of one Bitcoin hit $10, then $30 on Mt. Gox. This represented a 100x appreciation since the beginning of the year, when the price of Bitcoin hovered around $0.30.

By the end of the year Bitcoin was trading just under $5, but at least two important psychological barriers had been broken.

How Much was 1 Bitcoin Worth in 2012?

Bitcoin Price during 2012

Bitcoin had a relatively flat 2012, trading within a $0.50 range of $5.00 for the first half of the year.

It then reached its yearly peak at the end of December, hitting a high of $13.45.

In November 2012, Bitcoin underwent its first ever halving. This dropped the block reward from 50 BTC to 25 BTC.

2012 also saw the creation of the influential Bitcoin Foundation by Gavin Andresen, Jon Matonis, Patrick Murck, Charlie Shrem, and Peter Vessenes. The Foundation’s goal is to «accelerate the global growth of Bitcoin through standardization, protection, and promotion of the open source protocol».

WordPress became the first major company to begin accepting Bitcoin for payment in 2012. The online content management system provider did this in response to PayPal’s censorship.

PayPal alone blocks access from over 60 countries, and many credit card companies have similar restrictions. Some are blocked for political reasons, some because of higher fraud rates, and some for other financial reasons. Whatever the reason, we don’t think an individual blogger from Haiti, Ethiopia, or Kenya should have diminished access to the blogosphere because of payment issues they can’t control. Our goal is to enable people, not block them.”

Though WordPress’s move was a big one for the four year-old cryptocurrency, the company wasn’t handling Bitcoin transactions itself. Rather, it used BitPay, which was founded in 2011 and by October 2012 had grown to processing Bitcoin payments for more than 1,000 merchants.

How Much was 1 Bitcoin Worth in 2013?

Bitcoin Price during 2013

2013 saw the first major spike in the price of Bitcoin since 2011. From $13.00 at the beginning of the year, Bitcoin hit nearly $250 in April. It then cooled off for a while, before experiencing another rapid appreciation to over $1,100 in December of that year.

Bitcoin punched through $100 easily, though $1,000 proved to be a tougher psychological resistance level. Despite reaching prices that early Bitcoiners had only ever dreamed about, it took more than three years for the price to reach $1,000 again. The drawdown reached -85% at its bottom and the price of Bitcoin was relatively flat for years.

Bitcoin’s record-breaking run pushed the cryptocurrency’s market capitalization over $1 billion for the first time ever. It also attracted a lot of attention. In February of 2013, Coinbase reported selling more than $1 million worth of Bitcoin at an average price of $22.

The world’s first Bitcoin ATM was installed in Vancouver, allowing people to turn their cash into crypto.

The internet’s first cryptocurrency also gained some notoriety after the People’s Bank of China prohibited Chinese financial institutions from transacting in Bitcoins. This came in December 2013 and led to the shutdown of BTC China — at that time the world’s largest Bitcoin exchanges — and a sudden drop in price.

How Much was 1 Bitcoin Worth in 2014?

Bitcoin Price during 2014

2014 got off to a good start, but things quickly turned sour for Bitcoin.

Just one month after it closed, BTC China reopened for trading and Chinese Yuan deposits in January 2014.

However, in February Mt. Gox – still one of the largest and most important crypto exchanges – suspended withdrawals. Users had been reporting issues with withdrawals for months, but the exchange called it quits once and for all and filed for bankruptcy. It also reported that it had lost 744,000 BTC of user funds.

The price of Bitcoin reacted by selling off more than 55% from the beginning of February to April.

Despite the bear market, a number of big companies announced their support for Bitcoin. Overstock.com began accepting Bitcoin for all purchases on its website, as did Microsoft in the Xbox and Windows stores.

How Much was 1 Bitcoin Worth in 2015?

Bitcoin Price during 2015

The price of Bitcoin in 2015 started off weakly, with a -50% selloff in the first two weeks of the year. This included a -24% drop in just one day on the 14th of January. This may have been inspired by the announcement from prominent European exchange Bitstamp that they had lost 19,000 BTC in a hack. Coinbase had better news, though, as the exchange raised $75 million in its Series C funding round.

$150 marked the local bottom for the year, though. In fact, January 2015 was the last time you could ever buy 1 BTC for $150. The price of Bitcoin topped $500 for the first time in over a year later in 2015.

In June, the New York State Department of Financial Services began its investigation into Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. This investigation would eventually lead to the creation of the BitLicense.

In November, the Unicode Committee adopted the current Bitcoin currency symbol (₿), giving the internet’s first widespread native currency its own character.

How Much was 1 Bitcoin Worth in 2016?

Bitcoin Price during 2016

2016 saw the Bitcoin network’s hash rate top 1 exahash/second. The hash rate reflects the amount of computing power committed to Bitcoin and is an important measure of the strength of the network.

The price of Bitcoin continued its slow but steady appreciation over the course of the year. After a spike to $750 in June, Bitcoin retraced before closing the year just shy of the all-important $1,000 mark.

How Much was 1 Bitcoin Worth in 2017?

Bitcoin Price during 2017

2017 is a year that lives in crypto history. As you can see in the chart above, the year saw a steady appreciation in the price of Bitcoin followed by a huge blow-off top to nearly $20,000.

This 1,300% increase in price wasn’t the largest yearly growth – that title belongs to 2013 with its 6,600% gains – but it was the first time that Bitcoin truly broke into the mainstream of public opinion.

A $19,000 Bitcoin is impossible to ignore.

Bitcoin once again broke the $1,000 resistance on January 1st for the first time in three years, and after the 28th of March it never revisited that level.

The massive appreciation in price over the course of 2017 was driven in part by strong retail interest in the cryptocurrency. Trading volume on Bitso — Mexico’s leading exchange — grew 1,500% in the six months ending March 2017. Poloniex experienced 600% growth in the number of active traders on its platform throughout the year.

Despite the huge increase in price and subsequent attention paid to Bitcoin, 2017 was not without difficulty for the cryptocurrency. This was the year of one of the most contentious and hotly-debated events in Bitcoin history: the Bitcoin Cash hard fork.

While many were concerned about the effects of this fork on Bitcoin, with the benfit of four years’ hindisght its safe to say that Bitcoin Cash lost the war it started. Today, its market capitalization is less than 1% of Bitcoin’s.

On December 11, Bitcoin futures trading opened at the Chicago Board Options Exchange, the largest U.S. options exchange. Bitcoin rallied 12% that day, though its stellar run came to an end just five days later. The high of $19,000 would not be broken for almost three more years.

How Much was 1 Bitcoin Worth in 2018?

Bitcoin Price during 2018

2018 was a tough year for many in Bitcoin, both seasoned investors and those new to the space who had been attracted by the hype of 2017.

Bitcoin’s year-on-year (YoY) return for 2018 was a painful -73%.

Google, Twitter and Facebook all passed bans on Bitcoin and cryptocurrency advertisements on their platforms, with the latter claiming that they were «frequently associated with misleading or deceptive promotional practices.»

Bitcoin closed 2018 at $3,693 – more than $10,000 down from where it ended the previous year.

The good news for investors (though they wouldn’t know it just yet) was that the bottom of Bitcoin’s bear market had come on December 15, when the price hit $3,122.

How Much was 1 Bitcoin Worth in 2019?

Bitcoin Price Today & History Chart

2019 was a rollercoaster ride for Bitcoin hodlers. Starting the year under $4,000, the price of Bitcoin rose nearly $10,000 to hit $13,880 by the middle of the year.

Yet these gains did not prove to be sustainable. Bitcoin bled out over the next six months, a handful of pumps notwithstanding, and ended up closing the year around $7,160.

Still, the bounce from $3,500 to $13,500 proved that Bitcoin was not dead, despite the naysayers of the 2018 bear market.

2019 set the stage for what would prove to be one of the most extreme years in Bitcoin’s history: 2020.

How Much was 1 Bitcoin Worth in 2020?

Bitcoin Price Today & History Chart

Bitcoin rose strongly from $7,000 at the beginning of the year to more than $10,000 in mid-February.

$10,000 proved to be a critical level for Bitcoin throughout the year, though it would take until October for the price to leave the $10,000s once and for all.

First came the March crash. Triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic, a global liquidity event, and exchange liquidation engines run amok, Bitcoin sold off nearly 40% on March 12. It hit a low of $3,850 before doubling in price over the next six weeks.

Bitcoin then entered a months-long accumulation pattern, before charging above $10,000 in late July. It hit a high of over $12,000 before dumping back to below $10,000 in early September.

This proved to be the final fakeout, though. From September to the end of the year, the price of Bitcoin rallied 185% to close at just under $29,000. This was more than $10,000 above the previous all time high set in 2017.

From the agonizing March crash to the parabolic move into the end of the year, 2020 was a year of extreme highs and lows for Bitcoin.

This was driven in part by institutional investment. MicroStrategy’s purchase of more than $1 billion worth of Bitcoin at an average price of $15,964 over the course of 2020 made headlines. So did the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, spending more than $100 million on Bitcoin. This was a watershed moment for the cryptocurrency, as insurance companies are known to be conservative in their investments.

2020 proved that Bitcoin can bounce back strongly from major global events. In fact, it may even be stronger as a result. Many investors are looking to Bitcoin as a safe store of value in the face of unprecedented money printing in many countries.

While it’s impossible to tell the future, one thing is for sure: 2021 is shaping up to be just as important a year in the history of Bitcoin.

Yes, there are only about 18.5 million Bitcoin in existence. And there will only ever be 21 million in the future.

How Many Bitcoins Are Lost?

There’s no exact answer. One recent estimate is that about 3-4 million bitcoins are lost forever.

It is impossible to know an exact number since a lost Bitcoin looks exactly the same on the blockchain as one that is not lost. We can make some educated guesses based on how long a Bitcoin has sat in an addresses unmoved.

We also have media reports of large wallets where the owner claims to have lost the private key.

The truth is, no Bitcoin is really «lost» as much as it is permanently locked away. We know where all the Bitcoins are. When we say a coin is «lost», it is sort of like saying someone locked the coin in a box and lost the key to the box. And this box is impossible to open without the key.

How Many Bitcoins Are Mined Everyday?

144 blocks per day are mined on average, and there are 6.25 bitcoins per block. 144 x 6.25 is 900, so that’s the average amount of new bitcoins mined per day.

Because many miners are adding new hashpower, over the last few years blocks have often been found at 9.5 minute intervals rather than 10. This creates new bitcoins faster, so on most days there are actually more than 900 new bitcoins created.

How Many Bitcoins Have Been Mined Already?

Since bitcoins can only be created by being mined, all the bitcoins in existence are all bitcoins that have been mined. The total is BTC.

How Many Bitcoin Blocks Are There Today?

How Many Bitcoins Does Satoshi Have?

Some estimate Satoshi has around 900,000 bitcoins (BTC). This number is heavily debated, though, as some claim he has around 300,000 BTC.

How Many Bitcoin Have Been Stolen?

It’s unclear exactly how many bitcoins have been stolen.

850,000 BTC were stolen in the Mt. Gox hack, which was the largest Bitcoin hack ever. Another 120,000 BTC were stolen from Bitfinex in 2016. Together, that adds up to about 970,000 BTC.

Stolen BTC, however, does not mean lost BTC. It’s likely these stolen coins are still circulating, and may not even be in the hands of the original thieves.

How Many Millionaires Were Made From Bitcoin?

It’s impossible to know exactly. With some quick math, however, we can estimate the max number of people who are Bitcoin millionaires.

With Bitcoin’s price at $ , you’d need bitcoins to be a Bitcoin millionaire in dollars. Since there are BTC in circulation, there are a maximum of people holding bitcoins.

In all likelihood, the number is much lower than that and probably around 30,000-60,000 people with more than $1 million worth of bitcoins.

How Many Bitcoin Miners Are There?

Slushpool has about 200,000 miners. They have 12% of the network hashrate. Assuming all pools have similar numbers, there are likely to be over 1,000,000 unique individuals mining bitcoins.

When Will the Last Bitcoin Be Mined?

The short answer is: likely sometime in 2140 when the last Bitcoin halving is expected to occur.

It is hard to know for sure, though. New blocks are added approximately every 10 minutes. The further out we try to predict when specific halvings will occur, the harder it is. Over 120 years, a lot can change, and so it may happen sooner or later, perhaps even by more than year.

What Will the Block subsidy (reward) be before going to 0 BTC?

The block reward will be a mere 0.000000011641532 BTC per block. Currently the block reward is 6.26 BTC. There are 30 more halvings before it goes to 0. If we divide 6.25 by two 29 times, then we get 0.000000011641532.

What Happens When All 21 Million Bitcoins Are Mined?

Right now, miners earn most of their income via the block reward. When all 21 million bitcoins are mined, there won’t be a block reward to pay to miners.

When a Bitcoin user sends a BTC transaction, a small fee is attached. These fees go to miners and this is what will be used to pay miners instead of the block reward.

How Many Bitcoins Will Be Mined Before The Next Halving?

There are BTC left to be mined until the next block reward halving.

How Many Bitcoin Billionaires Are There?

With Bitcoin prices hitting around $23,000 US dollars, there may not be many Bitcoin billionaires. The Winklevoss twins are Bitcoin billionaires while the price is above $10,000, since they own more than 100,000 BTC. So they are well beyond Bitcoin billionaires!

How Many Litecoin Are There?

At the time of writing, there are a little under 67 million litecoin (LTC) in existence. The Litecoin block halving is projected to be in August 2023.

Is Bitcoin Issuance Similar to Gold?

Gold’s supply has historically increased at around 2% per year. Bitcoin’s supply will increase less than 2% starting at the 2020 halving, and will eventually go to less than 1% a year after the 2024 halving.

Bitcoin vs gold will be a big debate in the coming few years.

How Many Coins Copied Bitcoin?

Most coins are exact copies of Bitcoin’s source code. Bcash is a fork of Bitcoin with a few things taken out. Litecoin is also a fork of Bitcoin with the block time and mining algorithm changed.

How Many Ethereum Are There?

The truth is, no one really knows. We do know there are a little over 100 million ether (ETH) in existence but we aren’t sure how many.

There is no real cap on the total number of ETH than can come into existence like there is with Bitcoin. Eth is not a fork or clone of Bitcoin like Litecoin is.

How Long Does it Take to Mine a Bitcoin?

New bitcoins are mined every 10 minutes. The amount of time it takes a miner to mine a bitcoin will depend on how much mining power he has.

Who Has the Most Bitcoins?

As discussed above, it’s likely that Satoshi has the most bitcoins of anyone.
