  Bitcoin first started on January 3, 2009, when the genesis block was mined by its creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. The initial price of bitcoin was effectively zero, as there were no exchanges or markets to determine its value. However, the first recorded transaction involving bitcoin took place on May 22, 2010, when Laszlo Hanyecz famously bought two pizzas for 10,000 bitcoins, which would be worth millions of dollars today.
