The world’s most valuable cryptocurrency is a decade old this week and Twitter has naturally had its say.

On Wednesday 31st October 2008 a paper published by Satoshi Nakamoto claimed to offer an alternative to the traditional banking system: ‘Bitcoin : A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System’.

With the belief that cryptography could usurp traditional bank-linked fiat currencies and inspire social, economic and political change, the world’s first cryptocurrency was launched on 3rd January 2009.

It’s been a rollercoaster ride – and the overall feeling is one of bullishness on Bitcoin.

From a hilarious sound generator to Bitcoin cash machines and themed Halloween movies, take a look through the best tweets below.
