Exactly 14 years ago, BTC was first listed on an exchange at a rate of 1,309 BTC = $1.

Just as the title says, New Liberty Standard was the very first cryptocurrency exchange website we got, and it has been 14 years since it was last launched. That too at the rate of 0.0007639419 USD, imagine being able to buy Bitcoin at the rate of Shiba Inu.

The actual price that was set by them was by keeping the cost of electricity, or, you can say, the cost of mining bitcoins, back then in 2009.
