Twitter user named Slush, who everyone wants to belong to, announced that he mined Bitcoin for the first time in 2010.
Since Slush is a pseudonym, one may think that the owner of this account is anonymous, but he is a well-known person in the field of crypto assets. Account called Slush, founder of companies focused on crypto assets such as Satoshilabs and Trezor Marek PalatinusIt is from .

I wish you all a long and very beautiful life, block number: 94933..” he tweeted. At that time, the Bitcoin block reward was 50 units, so Slush earned 50 Bitcoins from this transaction.
After this success, Marek Palatinus founded the mining pool Slush Pool in 2013, whose parent company is Braiins. Trezor The first hardware wallet for crypto assets was named the same year and focused on the chip technology used in hardware wallets. Satoshilabs He founded the company called.
Ivor Paul, who even in 2010 thought he was late to the party, was actually not late at all.

Several names from crypto Twitter wrote questions about this tweet from Ivor Paul in 2020 and 2021. However, he did not return to this old tweet and did not write a reply. However, Ivor Paul’s Twitter account is his own. He clearly shows that he is still interested in crypto assets.
Note: Crypto Twitter is the generic name given to people who only use the platform to talk about crypto assets.
Year 2011… Bitcoin is not very popular, but an investor named Greg Schoen announced on Twitter that he regretted selling his Bitcoins, which he bought for $0.06, for $0.30.
In fact, those who follow Webtekno know Greg Schoen’s story intimately. Crypto on Twitter one of the greatest examples of regret This tweet, known as , comes to light every now and then.
On May 17, 2011, Greg Schoen, one of the first Bitcoin investors, said; “I wish I hadn’t sold the 1,700 BTCs I bought for $0.06 for $0.30, they now cost $8!” said. Schoen wrote six years later under this tweet: “Everything is fine, I’m already over it.he noted.
Greg Schoen, 1,700 BTC Instead of selling for $0.30 had sold it for $69,000, which was the last ATH (highest price) level It would have been $117 billion. Although he says he no longer regrets it, this sale still crosses his mind from time to time.
In 2011, Andrew Miller Noel may have been the first person to convert gift cards into Bitcoin.
On December 30, 2011 Andreas Molenaar A Twitter user named “OK! It’s time to exchange my IRC Christmas gift cards for Bitcoins. “This caught the attention of almost my entire extended family.” he tweeted. Andrew Miller also did not respond to the comments on this tweet in 2021 and 2022.
Andrew Miller currently has almost 20,000 followers on Twitter and is a blockchain space smart contracts He looks like he’s interested. So the Bitcoin adventure that started in 2011 He continues as a software developer.
Let’s move on to today; In 2020, MicroStrategy announced the adoption of Bitcoin as its primary reserve asset.
Before the 2021 crypto asset bull begins and Bitcoin is at $69,000 without peaks 456 days ago MicroStrategy, an American business intelligence company, literally saw the future. Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy, on August 11, 2020 “MicroStrategy Adopts Bitcoin as Main Treasury Store.” he tweeted.
What was happening in the crypto world at the time? MicroStrategy nor Michael Saylor They weren’t household names. However, the company is still pursuing this strategy and its value is current 7 billion dollarsa bit more than 174,530 Bitcoinshas .
Michael Saylor is with the company CEO left his position but he constantly posts about Bitcoin on Twitter.
Elon Musk destroyed crypto Twitter with his Bitcoin and Dogecoin posts.
Elon Musk, who bought Twitter (X) in 2022, will add the (bio) section about Twitter in 2021. #bitcoin changed it to . After this ““Given the past, this was inevitable.” he tweeted. Bitcoin price from now on It gained 20% in value.
in 2021 “To be clear: I am not an investor, I am an engineer. I don’t even own a publicly traded stock other than Tesla. Yet fiat currencies have negative real interest rates; only fools would seek refuge elsewhere. Bitcoin is almost as ridiculous as fiat money. What you need to pay attention to here is ‘almost’.” he tweeted.
Bitcoin price with this tweet from Elon Musk on February 19, 2021 for $55,000 a lot of rose. Not long after this tweet, Musk’s company Tesla bought $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin.
Even Elon Musk Tesla vehicles He announced with the following tweet that it can be purchased with Bitcoin.
“You can now buy a Tesla with Bitcoin.”

Payments in Bitcoin are received in Bitcoin and are not converted into fiat currency.” said. Within months of this tweet Bitcoin the highest point of all time It rose to $69,000.
The tweets from 2009, 2010 and 2011 in particular made me wish we could go back to those days so we could buy Bitcoin, tweet about it and It makes us wish we could write our names in history. Since then, Bitcoin has gained thousands of dollars in value and has become a very popular topic, especially on Twitter.
Finally, crypto assets may gain popularity with the entry of Michael Saylor and Elon Musk into the crypto asset market just a few years ago. Michael Saylor currently has 3.2 million and Elon Musk has 3.2 million in X. 166.6 million has followers.
