I Have 1 Bitcoin For Sell
INTRODUCTION
Bitcoin was first introduced to the public in 2009 by an anonymous developer or group of developers using the name Satoshi Nakamoto ¹. While I wasn't able to find an article about the first person to buy Bitcoin, I did find a piece about people who have made money from Bitcoin ²:
Javed Khan's investment success began by accident. In 2018, when bitcoin’s price was around $3,000, he was using bitcoin as a method to transfer money because it was easier than using a bank. But whenever he left the bitcoin sitting in his wallet, the price would go up. He saw an opportunity. Whenever the bitcoin price fell and it was quiet, he would buy more bitcoin. In 2020, he cashed in his profits and bought a Bentley.
Mr. Smith, an anonymous software engineer, invested $3,000 in bitcoin in 2010. With the price of bitcoin only US 15 cents at the time, that means he had almost 20,000 bitcoin. “I knew from the very start that I was playing the long game. I wanted to see how high it could go,” he said. He had almost forgotten about his investment 3 years later, when it popped up in the news. With the price rising by 10% or more every single day, he sold 2,000 coins when the price hit $350. When the price hit $800 a few days later, he sold another 2,000 coins. He’d already netted $2.3 million. “I quit my job and left on a round-the-world trip.”
Daniel Crocker was completing an apprenticeship at an IT company in 2012. Every lunchtime, he would chat with his colleagues about side hustles to make some extra money. When the topic of bitcoin came up, he decided to give it a go and make a small investment. He then held those coins for 8 years as their value grew and grew. Last year, he sold some enough for half the deposit on his house. “I do know people who have gone in deep but I think I've been lucky enough already.”
Jeremy Gardner fell in love with bitcoin when he realized that anyone in the world with an internet connection could send money to anyone else. Buying bitcoin in 2013, he dove deeper into the technology and began giving more and more to the cryptocurrency industry. He founded The BlockChain Education network, which is a nonprofit educating people about blockchain technology, he launched Augur, which is a decentralized prediction market, and he shared a three-story house in San Francisco known as the 'Crypto-Castle' that was home to over 6 multi-millionaires.
Heather Delaney, a business professional, put in £5 at the very beginning and built it slowly and steadily over time. She’s planning to continue adding to her investment.
