In 2008 the first whitepaper describing Bitcoin was published, with the protocol going live in 2009.
In May 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz was the first person to complete a Bitcoin transaction. He purchased two pizzas for 10,000 BTC, an investment that would be worth approximately US$542,874,000 today. This momentous occasion is known as Bitcoin Pizza Day, celebrated annually by Bitcoin enthusiasts.

Identity theft and fraud
What is identity theft and fraud?
Identity fraud is where someone impersonates You without Your knowledge or consent or uses Your personal information to obtain money, goods or services. More information on the types and incidences of identity fraud is available from the FCA website (opens in a new window), which contains tips on how to protect Yourself, what to do if it happens to You and contact details of organisations that can help.
How does identity theft and fraud occur?
It can occur when someone fraudulently represents a legitimate company – either online or by telephone – and tricks You into divulging personal information. A common method is phishing, the act of sending an email that fraudulently represents a legitimate company and lures You into revealing personal and financial information that could then be used for identity theft. In addition, these fraudulent emails may contain trojans or viruses. A trojan is a computer programme that may seem innocent but has been designed to damage Your computer or send confidential information over the internet to another computer. A virus is a computer programme that runs on Your computer without Your knowledge. If You are in any doubt about whether an email is genuine do not open it or click on any links it contains.
How can I spot a scam or phishing email?
Initially, phishing emails look genuinely like those from financial services companies. They may have an official-looking logo and information taken from legitimate websites. However, there are things You should look out for:
What should I do if I have received a suspicious email?
