Bitcoin facts

The first bitcoin was used by Laszlo Honecz. Laszlo Honecz made the first real world purchase when he used Bitcoin to buy a pizza on 22nd May 2010.And hence May 22 is also celebrated as Bitcoin Pizza Day.
10,000 bitcoins were paid by Laszlo Honecz for a slice of pizza.
The value of 10,000 bitcoins at the time of purchasing the pizza was approximately $41 and in Indian rupees was approximately Rs.2664. The Current Price of those 10,000 bitcoins is 3.8billion dollars.
Identity of the person sending the bitcoin and the person receiving the bitcoin remains anonymous and cannot be traced at the time of the transaction. Only thing which can be traced is Bitcoin Key Address.
Not more than 21 million bitcoins can be created because the total number of bitcoins has already been fixed. Means after 21 million Bitcoins are mined, new Bitcoins cannot be mined afterwards.
The White Paper for Bitcoin was released by Satoshi Nakamoto on October 31, 2008 and so it is not possible to ban Bitcoin.
The price of bitcoin is volatile and it can rise and fall at any time. One day it can be of 10,000 dollar value and the very next day it can fall to 1500 dollar value. So you can see it is very volatile.
