Personal Note: Since the emergence of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, alot of funny, yet important things have happened and are still happening, From individuals coming out to claim they are Satoshi Nakamoto(the inventor(s) of Bitcoin), to other persons guessing/accusing/suspecting some other personalities to be Satoshi Nakamoto, and those suspected coming out to debunk the claim, stating that they are not Satoshi Nakamoto.
All this events(in their details) are going to be housed on this thread, plus other interesting events, and will be regularly updated with fresh events as they happen.
I've decided to create this record of some worthy-of-note Bitcoin's historical events, both past and present.
Every information on this post can be found scattered in different places online, I decided to bring them(the important ones) all together in one place here for easy accessibility to all, most especially newbies that are just learning about bitcoin.
All the events or histories i put down on this post is at least 85 percent based on research and 15 percent based on personal knowledge, so i am open to corrections if you find any mistakes or misconceptions in any part of this post.
Thank you..

INDIVIDUALS WHO CLAIMED/PROCLAIMED THEMSELVES SATOSHI NAKAMOTO
WHO IS SATOSHI NAKAMOTO?
When I first came across an article of several individuals who claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, the first question that popped up in my mind was "Who really is this Satoshi Nakamoto that everyone is claiming to be?". It is commonly known or understood that Satoshi Nakamoto is the person or group of persons who invented the Crypto currency which we all know as Bitcoin, Bitcoin has turned out to be the world's best performing crypto asset of all time( I hope am right about this) at the time of making this post. To fully understand who Satoshi Nakamoto is, let's read Wikipedia's full description of who Satoshi Nakamoto is.Since the invention of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto has continued to remain anonymous, and with the huge success and worldwide recognition that Bitcoin have achieved, many individuals tried so hard to take Satoshi's glory, in the table below, we take a look at all the individuals who have claimed or proclaimed themselves Satoshi Nakamoto or have claimed to know Satoshi Nakamoto in person but were unable to prove it.

some claim to be Satoshi, days google research blogging stories, and in court, to widespread non-belief.
seems I need the opposite: I am not Satoshi despite recent video / reddit claiming so. some factors & timing may look suspicious in hindsight; coincidence & facts are untidy. |

BITCOIN'S ALL TIME HIGHS FROM THE BEGINNING TILL DATE Since the emergence of Bitcoin in 2009 like we all know, which in-turn birthed Blockchain and several other cryptocurrencies, the price of Bitcoin has been up and down, the volatility has been and still remains high, through this, alot of people who know their way around the high volatility have benefited immensely while others who do not know how to put the high volatility to good use have lost quite a substantial amount of money. But hey!, we are not here to discuss who lost or who gained, in this topic, we will be looking at Bitcoin's all time highs from its inception to date, and even into the future, this is the highest prices Bitcoin has gotten to before falling, and then going to a new higher price than the previous high before falling again, the table below will record this data and will be updated going forward, each time Bitcoin has a new all time high price. [Please note that content of this table was sourced from various sources including CoinMarketCap,BuyBitcoinworldwide and Investopedia.]| # | | | ATH PRICE | | | DATE(M&Y) | | | REMARK | | 1 | | | 0 | | | January, 2009 | | | The Beginning,
On the 3rd of January 2009,
the Bitcoin network was released
with Satoshi Nakamoto mining the
first block known as the genesis block. | | 2 | | | $0.00099 | | | -, 2009 | | | 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 | | 3 | | | $0.39 | | | -, 2010 | | | It might interest you to also know that 2010 was
the year that the famous purchase of
Two Dominos Pizzas For 10,000 Bitcoins
happened.
The famous exchange, MT. GOX was also launched in july, 2010. | | 4 | | | $30 | | | june, 2011 | | | 9th February, 2011 was the date Bitcoin made it to $1 for the first time.
Later in June, it traded for $10 and later touched $30 on MT. GOX.
[based on my research] | | 5 | | | $1,237 | | | December, 2013 | | | Bitcoin started the year 2013 at $13, by April, it hit almost $250, and by
December of same year, it touched $1,237.
It is also worthy of note that the first Bitcoin ATM appeared in 2013
and was installed in Vancouver. | | 6 | | | $19,345 | | | December, 2017 | | | In the beginning of the year 2017, The price started around $1000,
broke $2000 by may, then skyrocketed to $19,345 by December.
2017 was the year Bitcoin broke into mainstream of public opinion and
the massive appreciation was driven by strong interest in the
cryptocurrency
from retail investors. | | 7 | | | $29,000 | | | December, 2020 | | | bitcoin started the year 2020 at a price of around $7000 and by
mid-February, price was around $10,000, due to the global
pandemic which lead to the shutting down of global economic activities,
Bitcoin price crashed in march to around $3,850, beginning
from September, price started
going up and by December, price crossed $29,000. | | 8 | | | $40,000 | | | January, 2021 | | | After reaching $29,000 in December 2020, it took less than a month for Bitcoin
to achieve yet another all time high price of $40,000 by January, 2021. | | 9 | | | $63,558 | | | April, 2021 | | | By middle of April, Bitcoin reached a new all time high of over $60,000 as Coinbase, a
cryptocurrency exchange Announced going public, interest from institutional investors
further pushed the price of Bitcoin to a new all time high of $63,558 in the same April. | | 10 | | | $68,789 | | | November, 2021 | | | Bitcoin reached a new all time of $68,789 on 10th of November, 2021 and
later closed the same day at a price of $64,995,
Since this all time high was reached, price of Bitcoin started going down until........ |
By the way, can you guess which month and year price of Bitcoin will reach a new all time high?
