Well constructed and most of the facts I was not aware of and the quote by Bill Gates is quite timeless. Bitcoin has really come a long way and is posed to achieve more

11.   America's Federal Bureau of Investigation, or the FBI, has a 1.5% stake in all Bitcoins in the world.
I can't understand what is that? I never hear this. Why FBI has any stake on Bitcoin? Is that related with mining or something we don't know?
I think that is just old information. FBI got lots of bitcoins after silk road arrests, but FBI sold them couple of years ago.
Now they do not have much bitcoins, unless they have profited from some new arrest...

Some actually sounds really interesting but given the fact couple of them are not completely precise I'm taking the rest with a grain of salt.

Here's one more:

35.   Bitcoin is illegal in Vietnam, Bolivia, Kyrgyzstan, Iceland, Ecuador, Bangladesh and Thailand.

What about other countries where BTC is not yet accepted? Legally grey area, but for how long? For instance, Ukraine is planning to introduce Cryptocurrency tax, I wonder how the other countries will react to Crypto in future.

18. & 40  they counter each others points and only 40 is the closest answer.


I think no. 18 is the closest since first 50 bitcoin was mined on January 3, 2009 so approximately it's almost 10 years. Though we're actually have 17,313,875 bitcoin in which already mined.

41. Hal Finney was the first person to receive bitcoin transaction.

currently there are more than 16 million bitcoin from a total of 21 million bitcoin supply circulating in the market. meaning that the target for 17 million bitcoin within 7 years is almost reached. I just learned the fact that there is a certain target for bitcoin for sales. Is the lack of supply also a bitcoin target that will disappear a little?

Awesome facts indeed. Bitcoin was created back since 2009, no wonder it has many facts that we don't know about it yet.
Peoples who lost bitcoin because hardisk malfunction is the poor one i guess.  Lips sealed
no.18 & no.40 is the same fact but different information, could you clarify that ?
