Do you want to be able to impress your friends and family with how much you know about Bitcoin? And, no, I am not talking about the general facts, like how Bitcoin has seesawed from one extreme to the next.
The statistics compiled in the infographic below are not the kind of thing that a quick Google search will find for you. They are the result of many hours spent combing through all the data out there, looking for the most up to date, and most useful stats.
For example, 40% of the total Bitcoin in circulation are owned by just a thousand people. Or, Bitcoin can be used to pay for things as varied as pizza and hotel stays. When booking online through Expedia, for example, you can pay with a credit or debit card, a voucher or with Bitcoin.
Believe it or not, the first commercial transaction for Bitcoin was the purchase of two pizzas for 10,000 Bitcoins. That was in the days when the currency was thought to be pretty worthless.

Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, etc. Forget what you think you know and learn about the real truth below.
