On January 3, the cryptocurrency world celebrated the 17th anniversary of Satoshi Nakamoto mining the genesis block of Bitcoin. On May 22, 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz made history by paying 10,000 Bitcoin for two pizzas, now worth over $899 million. Vitalik Buterin, a co-founder of Ethereum, worked for Bitcoin Weekly in 2011 and was paid five Bitcoin for each article written. James Howells threw away a hard drive containing 8,000 Bitcoins in 2013, now worth over $700 million.
