Bitcoin is now eight years old!
Last January 3, 2009, the first block of bitcoin known as the genesis block, was mined by its creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. The result was the birth of a new kind of money, cryptocurrency, and a new kind of technology, The Blockchain.
Today, after eight years of running non-stop, 446,539 blocks later, Bitcoin is stronger than ever. All time high market capitalization of $16 Billion, price at above $1,000 USD, transaction volumes in every country reaching all-time highs, and bitcoin wallets topping over 15 million, we can say for sure that Bitcoin and blockchain tech is here to stay. The exciting part? We have only just begun. For the last three years, we at SCI have been at the forefront of developing this amazing technology for the benefit of the Filipino people by building the Bitcoin and Blockchain ecosystem in our country today. We believe that the first 8 years is only the beginning, and that the next years to come will see more developments that will benefit not just Filipinos, but everyone in the world, through real financial inclusion.
Happy birthday Bitcoin!
