Bitcoin also known as BTC has grabbed the attention of the Guinness World Records.
Under the “Cryptomania” section, Bitcoin has earned the title from Guinness World Records as the first and most valuable cryptocurrency in the world.
The GWR authors further detail that the network Satoshi Nakamoto created solved the double spending problem.
The 2022 GWR record stated, “The Bitcoin network is solving the double spending problem with a trustless mechanism that does not require any third party to verify transactions, and it achieves that with validators.”
El Salvador also made its entry into the books as the first country to make BTC a legal tender. NFTs were also included in the Guinness World Records’ list of highlights, and CryptoPunk was given a shout-out as the most expensive NFT collection.
This achievement is definitely a head-turning moment for BTC, marking its successful journey over the years.
At the time of writing, BTC’s market cap stands at $368,494,538,417.
It should be noted that Guinness World Records has been formally maintaining records of various human achievements and extreme natural events for 67 years. Records show the first edition of Guinness World Records was the top book on the best-seller list in December 1955.
The book still features a significant catalog and verification of world records tied to numerous acts and record-breaking achievements. The idea of creating a book of records was originally derived from the managing director of Guinness Brewery, Sir Hugh Beaver.
