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.

Scarcity on the internet can literally only be invented once. Any attempt at recreating this can easily be duplicated. #Bitcoin is the only shot we have at this. #BitcoinAt10 #HODL #hyperbitcoinization

Buying #Bitcoin at an ATM in Munich, Germany. After that short clip you have to do a KYC process with mobile number, name, date of birth, photo of you and a photo of your ID card…without kyc it would take about 30 seconds to change cash into #btc pic.twitter.com/0qHFS0n6oY

Despite reaching parity with an ounce of gold, there are many more ounces in existence than there are #Bitcoin
As a result the value of gold in existence is 300x that of $BTC entire market.
I predict this pendulum will swing the other way and fast. pic.twitter.com/KImj2MDSGj
