very good, and out there, are lots of funny and interesting things about bitcoin, including it's about when Laszlo Hanyecz offers 10000 bitcoin on the Bitcointalk forum for 2 servings of pizza.

and this is why it's called "bitcoin pizza day"

Wouw! The number 1 is huge! 80.000 BTC makes $520.000.000 is anormous money! And it is madness! If i were him i could kill myself.. Also the China should thanks to Jet Li, as far as i see he is the one of the biggest reason for Chinese people to buy bitcoin in 2013. And if can collect more bitcoin now i know that i can use it to buy Lamborgini Diablo Smiley

12. In 2013, a physical bitcoin was minted by a man named Mike Caldwell and called it Casascius bitcoins (most known images used by many)  but shut down by US government due to anti-money-laundering and financial crime regulations.


And maybe you can ask the man himself, because he is a distinguished member of this community, here is the link to his profile: Mike CaldwellGrin

And as far as this address, 1FeexV6bAHb8ybZjqQMjJrcCrHGW9sb6uF, I'm sure that the dust amount being send is somewhat like a donation or something, similar to the genesis block 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa, wherein people are still sending up to this day to pay homage to Satoshi. I'm not implying though that the 1FeexV6bAHb8ybZjqQMjJrcCrHGW9sb6uF belongs to Satoshi, but your guess is as good as mine.  Grin

Woow, impressed, I must say. Very interesting pieceof facts. I don't evem know a whole of them. Am happy with the way bitcoin is evolving and getting attention. But this wallet that kept receiving bitcoin without sending out am  really concerned about that, could that be Nakamoto's wallet?.

The most interesting fact you posted is the inactive address with 79,957.19633625 BTc.  Just think how many bitcoins have been lost forever because no one thought they would be worth anything.  I'm sure a lot of people with lost keys have had many sleepless nights thinking of the fortunes they lost.  Maybe one day someone can crack the early addresses with quantum computing.

Interesting information, especially at point number 1. Almost 80k bitcoin, and my question is. Is it only owned by 1 person? And if it's true that it's owned by one person, where did he get that much bitcoin  Huh

Referring to #7,
That's true and i think even in the recent debate between Nouriel and the crypto lawyer, the lawyer even stated that prosecutors prefer to work on cases related to blockchain. It's easy to track and follow up to get culprits.

7. Bitcoin is not totally untraceable even with the use of VPN...this is proven when Silk Road was busted . Another fun fact about Silk Road, it is said that it's still unknown how many bitcoin Ross Ulbricht have.

I gave you a merit, because I really liked all those facts you gathered about bitcoin. You should probably post it on Medium or some other platform, it would make a nice article. However, I think you might be wrong about the Silk Road case. You see, I first heard of bitcoin because of those news and a friend of mine studied the case carefully back then. Ross Ulbricht was talked into murdering some guy that scammed him or something (I don't remember the details now, but it was somehow a bad guy for him) and then arrested for the attempt of murder. Bitcoin is untraceable and the reason why we know that Ross was the founder of Silk Road is that he was the first one to write about it on the Internet on some forum and he used an email for registration there that said something like [email protected]. He was not careful in very easy things and he was caught in a library where he was accessing the Darknet. He was just young, enthusiastic and, as genius as he was, he made terrible mistakes.

The first purchase using bitcoin was for pizza and the cost was 10000 BTC. Imagine what it is worth now!

James Howells, the unluckiest man alive, threw away his hard disk containing 7500 btc accidentally in 2013. Just imagine.

It was unknown to me that we can go to space by using bitcoin as payment. Great topic and points, very intriguing. A break from the debates and advice is good for the community.

Been looking for some fun fact about bitcoin and thought of sharing here since some of them are new to me and maybe other can also learn something from it. I listed top 12 favourite  which I find amusing and interesting.

1. A dormant account 1FeexV6bAHb8ybZjqQMjJrcCrHGW9sb6uF that has 79,957.19633625 BTC continously received bitcoin but nothing was sent out and remain inactive since it's created in 2011.



This is fun! First input was back in 2011 for approximately 79,000 bitcoin all the other payments
are very small or micro payments right up to this year. Very strange, what would be paying those
micro payments? Some sort of bounty or something?

I don't know how you could forget about paying 10000 BTC for pizzas in 2010. This is probably the most famous event related to Bitcoin payment. Details of the whole situation can be read in this thread:

Well yeah. This is especially true since it's a completely public blockchain. Once addresses are linked it's not too hard to unravel in most cases.

I got curious about number 1 if who's the owner of that 79,957.19634291 BTC and his current transaction was yesterday only with a transaction that receives 0.00000666 BTC, And while I am doing an investigation the addresses was mostly the same and most of them are giving BTC to this address But the address that intrigues me was this 1AK4LYE6PYwBmSYHQX3v2UsXXHTvCAsJeK and whats more curious when in the address transaction point me to the site of JUBTC.COM a buy and sell site that is base on China, I really think the address is not inactive but a storage for a certain group of people or company well maybe in future needs, Well I notice on the first transaction that they acquired 79,956 BTC in an instant when multiple addresses gave it to them in March 01, 2011 or maybe I am wrong and this belongs to 1 person only.
