Post by: patrickUN on September 21, 2017, 12:25:50 PM
It’s important to understand what the cryptocurrency actually is and how it works, as Bitcoin popularity continues to rise. Our friends from BitcoinPlay has created awesome infographic “58 Insane Facts About Bitcoin.”

Bitcoin was launched in 2009 as an alternative form of money against fiat currency like dollar and euro. It is a form of digital currency, created and held electronically. The main idea behind the digital currency is that it is not controlled by central authority. In view of the current economic situation, it seems that bitcoin could emerge as a new decentralized global form of payment.

Satoshi Nakamoto, a software developer, proposed bitcoin, which was an electronic payment system based on mathematical proof. The idea was to produce a currency independent of any central authority, transferable electronically, more or less instantly, with very low transaction fees.

Good pictures telling a part of the bitcoin historical events and facts. Well maybe they shouldn't add the Liberland part since it isn't officially recognised
Apart from that I suggest to add these facts in reddit.com/r/Bitcoin (+/- the other subs) or any site/forums, it will get more people to learn more about bitcoin  ;)

Great article and facts out there.  I haven't known majority of those facts,  I am glad I stumbled on this thread and found out about this insane facts.  What I wanted the most of those insane facts is the Pizza story and feel sad about the person throwing his hardrive.  I wonder does that guy feel about it.  I hope he did not have a nervous breakdown after finding out that he just thrown a millions of dollar worth hardrive.

There are some inaccuracies. For example, #24: There will be 34 halvings, not 64. See  https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Controlled_supply.
