七年前,，1枚比特幣值0.25美分；而今,，其價(jià)值已經(jīng)超過2200美元,。

本周一是現(xiàn)實(shí)中有記錄的首次比特幣交易七周年,。2010年以來，比特幣的價(jià)值在這七年里增長了879999倍,。如果當(dāng)時(shí)有投資者決定用5美元買2000枚比特幣,，到今天其價(jià)值將達(dá)到440萬美元；如果用1200美元購買48萬枚比特幣,，這位投資者如今將至少坐擁11億美元,。

2017年頭幾個(gè)月比特幣上漲得尤其迅猛。年初以來,，隨著在日本等國取得合法身份,，這種加密貨幣的價(jià)值持續(xù)飆升。投資者已經(jīng)將比特幣視為避險(xiǎn)資產(chǎn),，原因是地緣政治局勢緊張,，近幾個(gè)月的歐洲和美國都是如此。

那么比特幣的第一筆交易是怎么回事呢,？當(dāng)時(shí),，在比特幣技術(shù)交流論壇Bitcoin Talk上，一位署名拉斯洛·漢耶茲的程序員提出用1萬枚比特幣換兩個(gè)比薩餅,。此后至少三天都沒有人做出回應(yīng),。漢耶茲在論壇上留言說：“這么說沒人愿意給我買比薩了？我出的比特幣太少了嗎,？”

最后,，一位用戶給他買了兩個(gè)比薩，付了大約25美元,。按現(xiàn)在的比特幣價(jià)格計(jì)算,，這兩個(gè)比薩花了漢耶茲2200萬美元。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

Seven years ago, the value of a single bitcoin was worth a quarter-of-a-cent. Today, that single bitcoin is worth upwards of $2,200.

Monday marked the seventh anniversary of what is said to be the first recorded instance of bitcoin used in a real world transaction. Over the course of seven years, bitcoin's value has multiplied 879,999 times over since 2010. If an investor had decided to spend five dollars back then on about 2,000 bitcoins, that stake would be worth $4.4 million today. With $1,200 spent on some 480,000 bitcoins, the investor would be worth at least $1.1 billion today.

The early months of 2017 have been particularly heady days for bitcoin. Since the beginning of the year, the value of the cryptocurrency has surged as it gains legitimacy in countries like Japan. Investors have also come to see the currency as something of a safe haven asset amid geopolitical turmoil — and there's been plenty of that in recent months, in both Europe and the United States.

And that first transaction? A software programmer on "Bitcoin Talk" known as Lazlo Hanyecz offered to 10,000 bitcoins for a couple of pizzas. For a least three days, no one took bite of the offer, with Hanyecz writing: "So nobody wants to buy me pizza? Is the bitcoin amount I'm offering too low?"

A user eventually paid about $25 for two pizzas. In today's bitcoins, those pizzas cost Hanyecz $22 million.
