It was on January 3, 2009, when Nakamoto got to mine the first block of the chain, creating the bitcoin network, which is now known as the "Genesis Block".
This couldn't have been more convenient. Digital money that can be used to buy from tokens, digital products to about everything that our present money can buy today.

With Bitcoin wild price swing, that we experienced soaring by December 2017. With the unprecedented rise of its value from around US$7,000 by August 2017 to a rapid increase that made it around US$19,000 and above. 

This caught most people by surprise, few expected it, and some immediately tried to call it an economic bubble, a scam, and tried everything to downgrade it which they succeeded at some point. Thus, created what I will call the believer and the non-believer of Bitcoin (The Pro or the Anti, hope there is no violent reaction to this, so we can just distinguish which side every one of us belong. Otherwise feel free to introduce which name of side to be with).  

Accordingly, the disbelievers started to say that it consumes high electricity to generate or mine it. They use various conspiracy or situation where Bitcoin can be used by illegal traders, for money laundering, by drug lords, by syndicates, you name it. They started to picture it as a bubble, a Ponzi scheme, which should be investigated, regulated and be in their control. They started to ban bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in some country.

For the believer, well they did not stop believing. They even introduce various alternatives coins, which we now call cryptocurrencies and also altcoins. There are over 2,000 cryptocurrencies and increasing almost daily. There is a new version of wallet, which we call a digital wallet. A new “platform” catering to cryptocurrencies almost every day is coming just visit Dapp. Access and processing of bitcoin are improving.

More people are searching for further information about Bitcoin and Blockchain technology.
Because of the opportunities that Bitcoin provides. 
I believe we need to inform more people about this technology and its future.  

regards to everyone
