It was between Hal Finney and Satoshi. I'm sure someone can point out the link on the blockchain. EDIT: Here it is: https://blockexplorer.com/block-index/170

Wow the first blocks were mined January 2009. That's over 7 years now. I never knew Bitcoin existed for this long. I was only able to find out about it around 2012 and never really bothered because the price was really steep back then and only a rare percentage use bitcoins.

but it is transaction number 170. I think it is not the first transaction. if you click previous block you can see there is older transactions available. That is not the 170th transaction. That is actually Block#170. Within that block is the first transaction ever, as Ebliever has stated. Here is the first official transaction's TX ID: f4184fc596403b9d638783cf57adfe4c75c605f6356fbc91338530e9831e9e16 That is Block#1 and does not contain any transactions besides the "coinbase" transaction. Simply, every block has something called the "coinbase" and that is where the newly mined bitcoins comes from. Every transaction in a block, after the "coinbase", are actual transactions and are people sending each other bitcoins.

that is block #1 and if you want block number #0 (the genesis block) it is this one 000000000019d6689c085ae165831e934ff763ae46a2a6c172b3f1b60a8ce26f but these blocks all have only the newly generated coins, if you are looking for the first transaction made between two people it is in block number #170 https://blockchain.info/tx/f4184fc596403b9d638783cf57adfe4c75c605f6356fbc91338530e9831e9e16

yes it was created on 2009 and there was sudden crash in the market on 2012 from the All time high price of 1k $ per coin. Hope we will not have similar situation in near future.

Agreed the first transaction was between Satoshi and Hal Finney... but I always wonder what was the first transaction where people actually traded something {service or goods} for Bitcoin? Is this
documented somewhere or was the famous pizza the first? Is a transaction really a transaction, if no goods or service are linked to it? If I transfer money to you as a test, but I do not buy something or
pay for something... would it still be a valid description of the action that took place?

It was Satoshi who send 10 BTC to Hal to test the system. Hal was the one who received the bitcoin.

I'm pretty sure that the first actual transaction in exchange for actual goods was the pizza transaction. It's documented right here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=137.msg1141#msg1141. In fact, most of Bitcoin's early history is documented right here on this forum. Some of it is also on the cryptography mailing list and IIRC there was also a bitcoin mailing list on sourceforge. i wonder how can hall finney can make the first bitcoin transaction,we know he was not satoshi nakamoto,any explain for this?or hal finney is real satoshi? i think first transaction only made by satoshi nakamoto.
While Satoshi was the one who sent the Bitcoin, it could also have been Hal Finney who sent it. Hal was one of the first people to respond to Satoshi on the cryptography mailing list. He was one of the first developers alongside Satoshi and apparently helped Satoshi a lot during the early days. He even helped Satoshi before Bitcoin was released when Satoshi asked for help on his "project" on the cryptography mailing list. He could very well have mined some of the first couple hundred blocks.

My bitcoin first transaction was when I transferred my bitcoin from exchange platform going to the merchant who accepted bitcoin, were I can convert it into our currency here in my country. So far I didn't encounter any bad experience into it.

OMG 400K Confirmations . Thanks for information bro. IIRC most blocks after a block (if not every block) basically verifies the transaction and that's why older transactions can have insane amounts of verification under them. So if you really want to make sure that there was a secure transactions, just wait a few years and it should hit 1k confirmations pretty soon. That's completely unnecessary, of course, however it's an interesting thought experiment.

every block has a "coinbase". which is the reward payment/ coin creation log. no "spending" occurs however a transaction between two people "spending" funds. is different. the first transaction to spend funds happened at block 170. their were many other transactions since then. but the notable one where a transaction occured with a real world result of the spender getting pizza for their bitcoin happened here https://blockchain.info/tx/49d2adb6e476fa46d8357babf78b1b501fd39e177ac7833124b3f67b17c40c2a
