The early stage of bitcoin usage was as fun as childhood. As bitcoin grows, it's expected to face different challenges and difficulties, like in adulthood. Although bitcoin is at its teenage age, most of the hilarious bitcoin expenditure happened in the first 3-4 years of bitcoin's existence. For instance, on the 5th of November 2013, someone paid to store the lyrics of "Never Gonna Give You Up" on the bitcoin blockchain forever. The lyrics to the song are on block 468060 with 494267 confirmations. This transaction reminds me of the numerous uses of the bitcoin blockchain aside from trading coins. It's fascinating to utilize not one but all aspects of the blockchain. But, a colossal amount of users have sunned themselves under the profits and loss of trading in the blockchain network. And neglect other features that makes the blockchain unique and decentralize.
