 <p>If an investor had purchased just $1 worth of BTC on Oct. 5, 2009, they would have been sitting on a fortune of $36,001,427. $36 million in return for just a dollar might be the greatest investment that anybody could’ve made. However, back then there weren’t any exchanges that sold BTC. Users would have to either mine their BTC or earn it by providing a service, given that BTC payment is an option.</p>
