Bitcoin on December 12, 2010: Satoshi's last post
December 12, 2010 is the date of Satoshi Nakamoto's final post on the Bitcointalk forum. After this, Bitcoin's anonymous creator vanished from public communication forever. At the time BTC was worth about $0.25 — a tiny fraction of a cent compared to today. Satoshi's departure left Bitcoin truly decentralized, with no single leader or authority.
On December 12, 2010, one Bitcoin cost $0.25. A $1,000 investment would have purchased 4000.000000BTC. At today's price of $66,926, that holding would be worth $267.70M — a 26770.3k%return. This calculation does not account for transaction fees, taxes, or the emotional difficulty of holding through Bitcoin's famous volatility. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
